Going to the Bucs game on the 19th

Im staying at the Blake with my gf and i was wondering what you locals thought was the best place to eat downtown that wasnt rediculiously expensive. (more than like 50 bucks) thanks for the help

There are too many restaurants in the area, and probably 30 alone from the Blake to the stadium. It all depends on what you like. Every type of food is available, and there are different atmospheres as well. Just go to charlotte.com, select Entertainment, then Dining, then Charlotte as the city, then Downtown (even though it's called Uptown). There are 111 choices it says. I steer clear from people's "best place" suggestion because it's only their opinion. May as well read reviews from more than one and see a rating.

Rock Bottom is really good and we've had several Huddle gatherings there. To save yourself some money, you can buy one of these -

$15 for $30 Worth of Beers and Fresh-From-Scratch Fare at Rock Bottom Brewery http://www.groupon.com/charlotte/deals/rock-bottom-brewery-charlotte?utm_campaign=UserReferral&utm_medium=email&utm_source=uu2206567

If you like southern food I would highly reccomend The Kings Kitchen on the corner of Trade and Church. Excellent food and the restaurant is a not for profit so the money goes to a good cause for our community. But don't be afraid that its some crap food maximizing the donantions, it is excellent.

Heres their website http://kingskitchen.org.

You should stay away from the EpiCenter to eat, fun places to hang out but food is over priced.

Merts = gross. Why go pay money for "home cooking"?

If you like that kind of food they do it great and get full for about $10/person.

Because its good?

If you like Cajun food, The Cajun Queen on 7th is excellent.

However, you cannot walk there from downtown....5 min drive.

Bojangles is that heat rock! Under $5 a person too.

You really should refer to it as the "Panthers game, the one where we play the Buccs" I understand your use of brevity, but the reference "the buccs" game just makes me think it's their game. Yuck. But regardless, I hope you and your gf have a fantastic time!

The same could be said for Rock Bottom.

Check out The French Quarter restaurant on Church St. It has a ton of "personality" and is right next door to a really cool bar called Hooligans.
