1897 Market

Awesome place! The classic breakfast brings your energy back after one-night layovers.

Great drinking and eating hole in the Charlotte airport. The place is bigger than it looks so if there's a wait, it isn't long. The Dirty Mac n cheese was great. The turkey sandwich was good too. They have a good selection of wine and beer. I'll definitely hang out here in my next layover. My waitress was so nice! Had a bad cocktail, she immediately got another drink for me. Couldn't have asked for better service!

Located at the Charlotte NC airport...my 1st time...I asked if they served espresso, it was illy brand...however, they don't seem to know what they are doing, the presentation was splattered espresso in and out of the cup, along with it being just lukewarm. I wish I could add the photo... I ordered a mushroom and spinach omelet that was very nice. Well prepared, light and with good taste. The home style potatoes were seasoned well, but were not warm.

I really enjoyed the food here, it's seasonal and really nice for an airport, the atmosphere reminds me of a rustic farmhouse chique, yet it feels cozy. The staff were very accommodating and attentive. I personally ordered the salmon farmhouse which tasted incredible, the creamy and rich goat cheese complimented the nutty, sweet honey walnut vinaigrette; the salmon was cooked beautifully. Despite the food and service being excellent, I found that the price was very expensive. That is expected, given it is in the airport, but the salad that I ordered was a whopping $20. Overall 1897 Market is an excellent choice for modern, seasonal eating.

This is my favorite place to eat at Charlotte airport. The Swiss Mushroom burger is perfect! The prices are in line with any US airport and why not sit down to enjoy a hot meal for the same price as a cold takeaway sandwich. The service is always friendly and efficient. They also have a very nice bar area.

Actually good food in the airport. Prices are not terrible either. I get breakfast here whenever I fly. I've also had their burgers and that's good too.

The Market Grits paired perfect with a nice sized mimosa to make a breakfast worth flying back for.The grits had a subtle, yet flavorful cheddar taste and were a great consistency. These are good grits. The sausage had a hint of spice and great consistency, a perfect combination with the grits. Perfectly cooked sunny side up egg.The biscuit was huge and made just right. Delicious!

The decor is nice. And the ac was working fantastic in there compared to the rest of the airport. I had the Neese Country Burger with fries and it was delicious. Just the right amount of food. It could have been hotter but I watched it sit for a long time while my server was gone. The hostesses were friendly. The server was nice but she disappeared for long periods of time. I would go back for the food if you have time to waste.

Had the Dirty Mac and Cheese and a Lenny Boy Brown Ale. Pork Belly, caramelized onions, cheese sauce, and pasta. Hugely rich and delicious, and the beer was just enough to cut through it. Food and beer get a 5. Food delivery went a bit long (20 minutes), but had plenty of time. Service 3 because of the kitchen. Overall 5. It was just that good.

I really like this place. I've been in a lot of airports and this doesn't feel at all like airport food. Great bar, very nice healthy options menu. Flatbreads are great, salmon fantastic. The staff is super friendly! Kelly at the bar is the epitome of fantastic service!!

Salmon salad was great; fresh salad and salmon well prepared. Shrimp and Grits were creamy and delicious. Brussel sprouts were crispy and sweet

Drinks are expensive but that's typical at airports. The food is tasty and the service is A1! I thoroughly enjoyed my morning pick me up.

Good food and lots of room to sit and dine. Had a burger with an egg in it and a goose island IPA they both went good together. Prices are a bit high but then again things cost a little more in airports. Came here for dinner and had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated on a Thursday night. Friendly service.

Nice place and convenient. The physical look of the leather bound menu is pleasing to the eye. Service was fast and efficient while still being personable and friendly. The French 75 was refreshing. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and grits that had great flavor but the shrimp were extremely overcooked and rubbery.

After reading some of the reviews here I was hesitant to give 1897 Market a chance. I'm happy to report no issues during my hour-long visit. I ordered the Bronx Bomber, a pizza, with pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce cooked in a Woodstone pizza oven paired with a Napoleon Complex American Pale Ale by Wicked Weed Brewing Co. My order was ready relatively quickly considering the airport was fairly busy. The pizza was cooked perfectly and piping hot! This gave me some time to enjoy my beer of course. On the topic of beer, 1897 has a very impressive selection of local, imports and mass-produced beers. Back to the pizza! In a word, delicious. This is not some frozen or chain pizza. Thin crust, perfectly sauced and plenty of cheesy goodness. One of the better airport restaurants I've dined in for sure and I will be back.
