Charlotte is known as the Queen City and is steadily getting noticed for its vast array of restaurants. But with all the excitement around NEW spots to eat, one can never forget about the eateries that have stood against the test of time, slick ads, and social media. They are iconic places to eat. If you ask me, there appears to be a restaurant on just about every corner in Charlotte, just like churches. But these are the restaurants that have been around for the last 20 or 30 years.
