“ 1st time visit yesterday. Ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger. The burger was fantastic. Bun was fresh as was the lettuce & tomato. Mushrooms were great as well. The French fries were just the right crunch, fluffy on the inside, absolutely delicious. Really liked the fact the mustard, ketchup & mayonnaise was in packets instead of already on the burger. I'd recommend. ”
“ I visited 1st Goal this past Thursday. I've seen the building in the past but never stopped in. The establishment had great atmosphere with friendly people working there. My bartender was fabulous. They had tons of drinks/food specials & the wings were bangin!! A must visit anytime you're in Charlotte!! I'll be back. ”
“ This is a nice restaurant with a sports bar feel. I would definitely recommend 1st and goal if your are a resident or passing through the Charlotte area. Great service and excellent drinks, wings. This was my wife's and I first time visiting 1st and goal. When we travel we normally look for spots like 1st and goal to hang out... 1st and goal has a very relaxing atmosphere. We ordered the 20 wings: 10 lemon pepper and 10 muay thai, and a large order of fries. The wings were crispy with the prefect amount of sauce and the fries were served hot and fresh... We also ordered drinks, my wife ordered tropical sunrise and I ordered a long Island ice tea. Both drinks were delicious and made to perfection. We will DEFINITELY return! ”
“ *****Update***** While looking through TikTok I learned that Korean, the manager that served me passed away. I was really moved by her pleasant attitude and friendliness during my visit. I immediately told my 16 year old son of the tragic news. To my surprise, he knew exactly who I was talking about. Yes, she made an impression on him as well. Peace and love Korean, Rest well. Never heard of the place. However, Security contacted my son about a lost cellphone. I went to retrieve it but he wasn't there. I sat for a bit and observed the crowd. I was on the fence but then again, it was an impromptu visit (around 9:30pm) on a Tuesday. I returned the following day around 5:30pm. I'll so glad I did. I decided to grab a bite as well. Hunty, the fried salmon wrap was DE-LI-CIOUS!! It was well seasoned, the salmon tasted fresh AND it was cooked to perfection. In other words, it wasn't hard or dry. The wrap was wrapping!! It didn't fall apart either. The dipping sauce was tasty. The portions were generous and the presentation was pleasing. The establishment serves alcoholic beverages. I chose wine because it was on special that day. Korean, the manager was magnificent. She was pleasant and welcoming. She even invited me back that evening for karaoke. It rained so I decided to stay home. I will definitely be back. I suggest you visit as well. I parked in the back and entered via the deck the first time. The second time I entered thru the door under the awning. ”

“ I was there on Monday after getting in late from Michigan and the food was on point nice laid back atmosphere. I will be back tonight since I have mid-morning flight. ”
