South 21 Drive In - Charlotte

Everything lives up to its high ratings! There's a reason this spot was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. This place truly embodies the essence of a classic drive-in diner and is well worth your time and money. Speaking of value, the portions are generous for the price. I spent $27 and had enough food for 3 or 4 people. It's definitely a fantastic place to bring the family. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, too. If you're in Charlotte, make sure to stop by South 21 Drive-In – you won't regret it!

Saw the episode on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Finally was able to visit on a recent trip to Charlotte...was really excited about trying the chicken.. it had crunchy crispy skin and chicken was juicy but no seasoning whatsoever..I'm glad they gave me some salt packs so I could atleast finish eating it so I didn't waste money..also tried a cheeseburger with chili, it was pretty good but needed more chili...

This is a fantastic spot for a classic cheeseburger. There's nothing fancy here—just a really good burger. The milkshakes are deliciously light and pair perfectly with a burger and fries. Additionally, the ketchup is served in a small plastic cup, but if you prefer, they can provide ketchup packets with your order for a smaller amount.

I ordered the fish and shrimp plate, a double cheeseburger, and a side of onion rings. The fish and shrimp were delicious and moist on the inside. The burger was enjoyable and not dry. However, the onion rings were overly dry. I would consider returning.

You have the absolutely best Fried Trout Plate I've ever eaten. I don't know what she's doing with her tartaric acid, but I could eat it myself. And their homemade cherry coke like the old school soda shops. Yummmm!
