Brooks’ Sandwich House

Brooks’ Sandwich House is the cash only burger shack on North Brevard Street in NoDa that has been a Charlotte staple for decades. It reopened in January 2020 after co-owner Scott Brooks was killed in a shooting in late 2019, closed again during the pandemic, and came back, and the line has not shortened since.

There is no dining room, just a walk up window, a standing counter and your car. The burger All The Way, with mustard, onions and homemade chili, is the order, the chili cheese fries come on potato wedges, and the sweet tea is the drink. It is open weekday lunch only.
