Moosehead Grill

I challenge you to find a better dive bar in Charlotte. The following are reasons to come to Moosehead. 1. The wings are the best wings I have ever had. Trust me I am a wing afficianado. 2. G-​man. If you’ve ever been here and he’s been here you know what’s up. He’s a cook and he’s insane but awesome. 3. The atmosphere is so chill. Everyone comes here and it’s always a mix of people. Do yourself a flavor and pay them a visit.

Great wings. Fun place. Larger portion size. Divey feel, but that is what you want from a place like this.

The Moosehead Grill has been one of my favorite dive bars for years! The lunch specials are fantastic, $ 10 which includes a drink. For dinner, I highly recommend asking for the specials board because I’ve had everything from scrumptious Meat Loaf to perfectly cooked Cornish Game Hens. This place is the great!

Want a place where everyone knows your name? A place where they won’t ask your name? A place to pretend you are not even you? This is the spot. Convenient and a place with a lot of Charlotte character. Some people say there are many in Charlotte so enjoy a great bar/​restaurant with atmosphere like Moosehead. Whether as a regular haunt or a place to get away you’ll find this a fun satisfying spot to hang out. I love the people that work here, the atmosphere. The owners are nice and love the community. The food is really really good. You won’t find better wings in Charlotte. No need to try. The Bee-​sting and blackened are the best with just enough heat for those that like here but people who like more mild won’t turn their noses up at them. But the PB&J wings are unique too. The nachos were amazing and they have great salads too if you have some sort of 2016 resolution you are trying to keep. And there are no calories in beer right?

Ahh Moosehead Grill… How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
First and foremost, this little «dive bar» is heavy on character. From the eccentric art plastering the walls and the amusing stickers tucked in every corner, all the way up to the rafters, overstuffed with strange knicknacks you won’t find anywhere else. The décor is one part early-​American attic, one part hallucinogenic hunting lodge and one part Panthers’ den.
Not as instantly obvious, but still wildly apparent after a few minutes, is the character and charm of the people who work there. There’s Donny, the slender cook with the big smile who hangs at the bar sometimes, and whose eponymous wings steal the show from all the other wings on the menu. Then there’s the guy whose name I don’t know, but who makes and freely shares his creatively designed Panthers stickers with patrons. You’ll see them slapped up on the wall in spots too. And there are the other waitstaff as well. Even when crazy overworked during a Panthers game, they’re efficient and friendly.
Finally, there’s the food. It’s some of the best damn bar food you’ll find in Charlotte. The wings, as I mentioned, are incredible. Don’t neglect trying Donny’s wings — you’re welcome. The nachos are phenomenal. I could have wolfed down an entire order on my own, but shared simply because inhaling a plate of nachos on my own would be mildly socially unacceptable. Mismatched plates of varying patterns come out with the food, as if someone just closed their eyes and reached into my grandma’s cupboard for dishware.
My first visit to Moosehead was in early December. I’ve been back for the Panther’s games each Sunday since then. By visit three I felt like a regular. And by the way, if you want a fun place to watch the Panthers play, this is the spot. Just be sure to get there really early for the game.
The only downside to Moosehead is that there’s so little of it. That is, so little actual square footage in which to jampack Panthers fans on game day. But that’s part of the charm. A bigger place would seem more sterile. There are four TV’s inside, and one on the downstairs patio outside.
If you’re in the mood for something different and friendly, check out Moosehead Grill. You won’t regret your decision. Just leave a seat for me, please.

One of my favorite bars in CLT. Awesome bar food and awesome service. It’s a hole in the wall type local place… so if that’s not your cup of tea… also. if you’re a Panthers fan… go there to watch the game. I love this place!!!

Great locals spot. Good wings and a nice low key vibe. Not sure why if has 4 dollar signs, its most of $ or $$ at most.

Love this place. Nothing fancy. They’ve got great wings and the staff is friendly. Great beer selection, good music, and TVs visible from every seat. What more do you need?

Best wings and burger in Charlotte. Do yourself a favor and try the BBQ wings, you will not be disappointed. Nachos and steak and potato burrito are awesome as well.
Don’t go in expecting anything fancy, just really good food at decent prices. Been going here for over 15 years.

Great wings, beers, bartenders. Hit it up this neighborhood joint, youll be happy you did.

3 years later and this still our favorite spot for beer and wings. The sirloin chili nachos are the amazing. I’ve found out that you can order them in half sizes too. I always get the Donnie’s blackened wings and my husband always gets the Killer Bees. The Thai PB&J are amazing too. The service is always impeccable no matter how busy it is. Easily the BEST wings in the city.

Best wings in the world, period. Great people, friendly vibe and good music too, which make the wings that much better. The bee sting wings are amazing, as are Donnie’s blackened wings (cooked crispy). The rest of the menu is excellent, but if you consider yourself a wing connoisseur, you will find the best ever at Moosehead.

Although we moved out to the Pacific Northwest, I feequently recommend this restaurant to anyone I meet that is planning a visit to Charlotte, NC.
Rarely, does one happen across a restaurant that has moxy and to go a step further– finding an independent, family run establishment that delivers good food consistently is the stuff dreams are made of.
The servers, cooks and bartenders at Moosehead are talented, funny, efficient and engaging while the owners (Allison and Chris) make you feel like you are a part of the family from the moment they meet you.
The food… oh the food! Whether your coming to check out the creative and well priced lunch specials during the week or coming to enjoy a delicious dinner or late night snack, Moosehead delivers time and time again. Their wing recipes are award winning (seriously!) And from the first bite of a Donnie’s blackened, you’ll understand why. If I could give you a tip, it would be to ask for Donnie’s blackened, crispy.
If memory serves correct, the owner Chris was in the US Navy as a young adult– so all of these Internet trolls posting smack about Moosehead not supporting our servicemen and servicewomen is a bunch of crap. In fact, I seem to remember the nasty reviews revolving around one arrogant bonehead’s poor choices which lead to a bad evening. When this charmer was called out, the Internet trolls banded together and left poor reviews right here on Unilocal to support their ‘friend’. How sad!
In any event, try Moosehead for yourself and try it soon! Tell them Elissa sent you and if you have a chance, please tell Gman ‘hello my friend’!

Been looking for «a spot» in charlotte now for 4 weeks. Finally found it. Great wings! G-​man is the MAN!!! Great food & great service! I’ll be back next week!

I haven’t been here too much late at night but I can only imagine it’s always as great as the couple times I have been there.
But for lunch… WHAT A DEAL! Amazing food, great portions, and all for a great price.
Customer service is beyond amazing, great beer selection too.
Easily one of my favorite spots.

Best dive bar in Charlotte. Good food and service, and best of all, great tunes playing all the time.

Moosehead is a neighborhood bar with great food, reasonable prices and solid regulars.

This locals place. My favorite Dive in CLT. Don’t go looking for anything fancy.
The staff is always kind, the drinks are STRONG, the wings are outstanding.
It’s a good late night place to go and you’ll interesting people to talk to.

Don’t come here. This is a locals joint and you’ll ruin my chance to get to the bar. Been coming here for 15 years. Love it more than life itself. If you don’t like this place, fuck you.

Friendly bartenders but kind of a dark and dingy place in general.
They don’t have an amazing tap list by any means, but the beer was cold. That is all I needed at that point. I thought about grabbing some food as well, but the dingy vibe made me think otherwise. It was a Friday night and their wasn’t a single woman in the place, so me and my buddy just went elsewhere after our one beer. Nothing special, but I guess this place has its regulars.
