I like 1897 if you need some space & time for a longer cxn. The pizzas are decent for airport food.
Theres a really cool restaurant with authentic local cuisine in the main area between terminals. You probably havent heard of it, but Im familiar since I lived in NC for years. Its called Chick-fil-A.
Shake Shack (3hr may be enough time to get through the line, if it is open), B terminal Bojangles (for some reason better than the Plaza). Considering 3hr is a long layover for CLT, the B terminal AC should be pretty empty for a good bit of your layover there, would recommend that one over the C/D.

If you're into Chick-Fil-A, the line is always really long but (as it is famed to do) it moves very quickly (with the added bonus that nothing sits on the shelf long between being made and being handed over).Originally Posted by roadtriper
Have an upcoming flight with a 3 hour layover in CLT around diner time. I'm sure the inbound flight will have the Famous Protein Sandwich/ Birdseed choices! any recommendations for dinner Airside? Have AC membership and may just graze there? but no other lounge access. any favorites? TIA RT
Semi-related, there is a piano in the main atrium that has historically been available for passers-by to play -- does anyone know if it's still there and playable? (Figured it would be quick to go "due to covid" but would love to stop by and play it if not!)

Thanks Everyone! Unfortunately my Amex card is way too low on the food chain to get me into Centurion. we'll check out the offerings in the AC ,and then it's probably Burgers or BBQ and Beer 
I like Chick fil A , but hate lines! and wasn't impressed with Airport Phillips, may have been at CLT a few years ago? THX RT

update, there is: Centurion Lounge meet-up thread
It's been a few years (3-4) since I've connected through CLT but I remember the BBQ place being pretty great.
