    And I’d argue it’s more weird to devote hours out of your day to post with folks then not be willing to meet up with them.

    Hi. Where is a good place to eat an early dinner. Preferably near the football stadium. Also. Any good breakfast recommendations?

    Pinky's Westside grill, Al Mike's, Cowbell, Duckworths are all pretty close for dinner.
    Best breakfast nearby is Amelie's. Sunflour, Little Spoon, Zada Jane's are good for breakfast too.

    Skip Amelie’s. Go with Zara Jane’s for sure. Apparently there are some good breakfast foods in the 7th Street Market uptown.

    Thanks for the recommendations. Do you know of anything a little more upscale? The group I’ll be with can be a little picky at times.

    Depending on what time y’all get there I’d always suggest Heist for brunch. All you can eat plus it’s a brewery. My fatass loves the doughnut tree. It’s magical.

    I’ll admit, I jokingly refer to myself as a low class foodie so I doubt I can offer much guidance in the way of upscale places.

    The real questions is what types of food you’re looking for, where you’ll be staying, etc...

    we don't have a hotel yet but I would guess its near the stadium. I would say we are looking for either a steakhouse for upper end, or some GodTier BBQ if not upscale

    steakhouse for me is always Beef n Bottle. But it would be outside downtown a bit. BBQ lots of good options but not sure if there's a godtier. Midwood Smokehouse is considered the best I believe ...

    Midwood is a good spot but temper your expectations.

    City Smoke BBQ is downtown, but is pretty average. No prime BBQ spots in Charlotte in my opinion, but Midwood is the best.

    Not a big steakhouse fan, but go to BLT in the Ritz with groups typically. Not unique to Charlotte.

    Right now Celler at Duckworths is my favorite, but like to mix it up lots of good sports. Strong drinks and 500 beers. Food is good and atmosphere is cool. Crazy that it is below a sports bar.

    Fig Tree is best in the area, but more of a special occasion type restaurant. Elk chop is prime time.
