Whether you’re a native, a transplant or just visiting, you haven’t done Charlotte right until you’ve had a hot dog from Green’s Lunch. A Queen City institution since 1926, this inconspicuous Uptown building offers what Green’s claims is the "world’s best hot dog" for practically pocket change. Although the menu also offers burgers, grits and pancakes, no need to stray from what they do best. That would be a classic, Carolina-style dog "all the way" (with mustard, ketchup, onions, chili and slaw). The sheer act of downing a couple with a glass of sweet tea and some greasy fries is almost enough to make anyone an official Charlottean. Look for Green’s pushcart in Wells Fargo Plaza during lunchtime from March through December, weather permitting.
No alcohol available. Serving breakfast and lunch Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"Charlotte folk continuously vote them best of Charlotte. Hard to argue with them. Had mine with "all the way" topped with chili and slaw."
