Charlotte A gem of a find, especially the day after a party! Handmade artisanal burgers cooked to order and topped with a huge range of possibilities—guacamole, wasabi mayo, a fried egg—the list goes on and on!

Bang Bang Burgers 3116 Weddington Road, Suite 600, Matthews 704.321.1112 Meskerem Ethiopian Cuisine (photo below) It’s so much fun to dine communally with your friends around a pretty, round tray containing a selection of spicy to mild stews, some vegetarian.
