Good place to eat around the stadium??

French quarter (misleading name - actually a Greek dinner type spot) down by BB&T park has underrated wings and burgers.

The French Quarter is a great spot on game day. Gyro, burger, monte cristo, wings...all great. And now beer at 10am!

If you want simple, American Burger Co. on Church St is nice and only a couple blocks from the stadium. It's a go-to if I don't tailgate just because it's somewhat fast and the burgers are good (beer is reasonable but it's Charlotte, so that's not saying too much). Another simple solution is Carolina Ale House. Bit more of a walk but not too much. Of course, if you've ever been to one during any major national or local sporting event, you know it's packed so the wait can be a pain.

Most of the delis in Uptown are good, honestly. Hard to go wrong. There's a newer one down Church St. (I think. May actually be Tryon St) that is really solid but I can't recall the name. Small business too, so none of that chain garbage.

Ate at American Burger with the son at the Cards playoff game a couple of years ago. Crowded, but a great burger. Solid .

Ate at The Cellar @ Duckworth.  Not the sportsbar at street level, but in the basement.  Small plates, custom cocktails, fancy-ish food without a TV in sight.

$15 for a burger+fries, other entrees were similarly/appropriately priced. Fancy beers in 11oz glasses (depending on the beer choice).  Tastier cocktails than you might find at a traditional bar.  Didn't care for the ahi tuna/chicken waffle cone trio -- the waffle cone was too sweet for the savory proteins and didn't really work.  Enjoyed the shishito peppers and grilled oysters appetizers.

Reviews on Yelp/Tripadvisor are not fond of the overall service even though the food is well regarded. I'll support the "slow service" tag with a caveat: it wasn't inattentive service, and food arrived quickly after being ordered. But the staff were kept busy with other diners and didn't circle back as often as they probably should have to refill water glasses or take additional drink orders.  While that small piece was annoying, we enjoyed the overall meal and would go back.

Reservations appear to be recommended, we heard wait times quoted from 45-90 minutes.
