Say So Long To This Favorite South End North Carolina Burger Spot As Owner Prepares For Something New
I absolutely love a cheeseburger almost above anything else. So, we always take an opportunity to indulge in a big juicy burger when we can. But, one such opportunity close to our office is going away. According to The Charlotte Observer, a favorite Charlotte, North Carolina burger spot, Blacow Burgers South End closed and is being rebranded as something new.
I remember visiting the South End location of Blacow Burger & Sushi Bar a couple of years ago. We walked there from our office after work. The burger was delicious. And, I also remember my husband ordering the “Poutine” and loving it. It was his first time indulging in the Canadian born french fries smothered in gravy.
The owner, Calvin Ma, decided to rebrand the last Blacow Burger & Sushi Bar location as an all you can eat sushi idea. And, the spot plans an opening in August. The Blacow location in University City already transformed to Magic Sushi. Of course, a while back I remember Blacow in Fort Mill, near where I live, transferred to new owners and became Voo Doo Wings.
So, as the favorite Blacow Burgers South End becomes “Sushi Hana,” we look forward to all the delicious things to come. You had me at craft cocktails and unlimited sushi. I can’t wait to see the full menu. Although, I’ll be taking friends since I’m not sure I can devour large amounts of sushi at one sitting. I do love it, though.
Sushi Hana is located at 1515 South Tryon Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. We’ll keep an eye out for opening dates and menus to post! And, we’ll definitely give it a try once it opens and report back on what we think. Although, I hate to see Blacow Burgers go away, this sounds fun!
The 15 Best Burgers In Charlotte North Carolina
Today, August 25th is National Burger Day. Which is another fantastic holiday. Especially as a child, I was a burger connoisseur. I had probably eaten one at every restaurant in Charlotte. As I’ve gotten older my pallet has slightly expanded and in an effort to keep my waist from doing the same, I don’t order them for every meal like I once did. But don’t let that sentiment fool you, I still love a good burger! But who has the best burgers in Charlotte? I’m not so sure anymore. So I was excited about making this list. And while the heavy hitters (many of which I love) definitely made an appearance on this list, there were some I wasn’t familiar with (and I can’t wait to try!). In fact, I know what I’m doing for lunch today.
I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57, and french fried potatoes. A big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer… Ok, that’s not actually my preference (shoutout to Jimmy Buffett) but it does need to always have cheese. And lots of it. Bacon also helps a burger go from good to great in my opinion. Many restaurants have a special sauce to make them stand out. Or crazy combinations you wouldn’t think of. Do you like yours old-fashioned, fancy, with chili, or plain jane? Fries or Tots? Milkshake, soda, or beer to wash it down? Charlotte has a burger spot for you.
The rankings come from the review site Yelp and are based on the “highest rated” feature. There are 15 burger restaurants all in the Charlotte city limits. For restaurants with more than one location, they are combined and ranked where the highest rated location was. This list features 15 restaurants but there are obviously many other fantastic places to grab a burger. What’s your favorite spot? Let us know on social media.
