I had a layover in Charlotte for about 3 hours, so my Girlfriend and I had some time to kill at the airport. We felt like sitting down, so we stopped at Stock Car Cafe to have a look at their menu. They offered pretty standard American fare, which was what we both were in the mood for so we grabbed a seat.\n\nThe server we had was really nice and relatively quick, which would normally be a big plus in an airport. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with fries and my girlfriend got the mushroom swiss burger. The wrap was excellent with plenty of buffalo sauce and ranch, which I really like. The fries were also pretty good. I tried my girlfriends burger and it was cooked a little more than I normally like, but that's probably safer. They put a lot of toppings on it, so it had plenty of flavor. All in all, I really enjoyed the food, as did my girlfriend. \n\nThe Stock Car Cafe looks pretty much like it sounds - lots of NASCAR everywhere. Let's remember though, this is Carolina! When I lived in NC, fantasy NASCAR was a big deal to the people I worked with, so I think they're trying to give out of towners a taste of a sport they love. I can understand if you'd find it a bit overwhelming though.\n\nThe bill for the both of us was $27 before tip, which when you think about it, isn't that terrible for a sit down restaurant at an airport. There are quite a few mixed reviews on here, but if I regularly went through the Charlotte airport, I would probably find myself here again.
