Convenient to CLT airport

by Daddydart

Copal Grill reminds me of me. A little bit old, a little bit beat up, not much to look at, but they can still get the job done.

One of the best steaks (rib eye) I have ever had. Cheap too.

The Warden (my Darling wife) had the Veal cutlet. Huge portion of Spaghetti.

Glad we stopped by.

Our area was NON Smoking, for which I was very grateful.

I believe the fried chicken was good too, because the guy in a nearby booth was wearing a chicken leg OUT!

• Pros: Great Steak
• Cons: Lumpy booth cushion

Non-Smokers? Fuggedaboutit!

by missjanenc

The Copal has been a Charlotte mainstay for years, and a popular place for airport employees to dine. There are daily specials and the food is economically priced. Make sure you leave room for Jello, because that is a free dessert offering! :)

However, as much as I enjoy the cheap eats, I cannot STAND to eat in this place. There isn't a non-smoking area to be had, and if you get stuck in the back room, where the ventilation is HORRIBLE, you will die of second-hand smoke on the spot. If you don't mind the smoke, fine, otherwise eat at a non-busy time or get your order to go.

• Pros: Daily specials, free jello (with whipped cream!)
• Cons: No non-smoking section and they don't care

Believe it or not, this little retro diner has the best steaks in Charlotte. They're cut on the premises, not pre-packaged. Don't be fooled by the old building or location, just go eat a steak and find out for yourself!!!! yummmmmmmmm!

• Pros: cut of meat, quality, low cost
• Cons: it's closing :(, for airport , parking
