Definitely Bad Daddy's unless you have an option you've already paid for (e.g., Centurion Lounge).
Cheers and happy travels!

I like the Mexican place -- Tequileria? -- where the central atrium splits off to concourse C. The carnitas tacos are tasty esp. with the pickled onions. They do close early at 19:30, or at least they did a week or so ago.
Shake Shack is good but it's been closed every time I've gone past for months. Like, why do you bother paying rent there? Bojangles next door to it was blah. I don't patronize that other greasy chicken joint (and I don't mean Popeye's).
Went from E to B late last night and everything food-wise was already closed by 21:30 yet the place was still packed. Glad I had a nice dinner before I left.

I did Shake Shack a little less than a month ago on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm. Line was manageable - maybe 15 minutes.
CLT Airport though is lacking in food options though compared to what I'm used to in ATL.

I second this place, haven't eaten there in a while thanks to the Centurion but it was a decent spot.

Beaudevin is my favorite too, especially for their small plates. Their cheese plate is my go-to when I connect in Charlotte.

1897 makes a pretty big and tasty salad. Lots of good snack and alcohol options too. The BBQ place in the atrium is more then adequate and the line moves quick.
In the back of the C/D Admirals Club, they have the avocado / salmon cart setup...that's usually pretty good. I'd say <most> food concessions are open at this point.
Then do a walk from the tip of E to the tip of A. That's a neat way to burn 25 min....

Thanks for your interest in sharing your talents at CLT, but the piano is not open for public play. Piano players from the community volunteer to perform in the terminal and serve under the Airports Art Program. In addition to performing at the airport, all players have completed program trainings as well as commit to program requirements and obligations. Hope you're able to catch one of our piano players in action.

As this thread is not specific to AA, we will move this to the South forum for further discussion of CLT airport facilities. Thanks. /JY1024, AAdvantage forum co-moderator

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.
