In all honesty, we had ventured to another restaurant which didn’t sit well with fellow venture seekers stand or sit in sun so we pulled out the phones to seek food. Comet appeared and we are SO glad we found. Best chicken sandwich outstanding. Burger actually had flavor along with the other toppings. Fries - fabulous. Great food. Cool looking place. Definitely will go back when in town again….thank you.
Time for a verbal treasure map that leads you to another hidden gem. Comet Grill is tucked away between the long-standing notable landmark of Ed's Tavern and not-so-legendary Food Lion on Park Rd. Don't sleep on this place, and don't expect to JUST stop in for a single drink or quick bite... because you'll want to extend your stay for much longer. Cora draws you in with her warmth and hospitality whether you're a first-time visitor or a ten-year regular with a permanent butt groove formed into a specific bar stool. The inviting vortex radiates home-y vibes not homie vibes, that is until the people become homies. Drinks, food, and live music... what else is needed? Do yourself a favor by experiencing it all for yourself. Feel free to tell me that I'm wrong, but I expect to hear nothing except the deafening silence from the lack of negative feedback. Stop in. Show some love. Eat, drink, and repeat.
Stumbled upon this bar and grill as I went to Food Lion during my lunch break and decided a burger and fries is what I wanted for lunch. It is right in the same parking center as a food lion, so there are plenty of parking spots to choose from. The inside is fairly small, but with bar seating and outside seating as well. Went around lunchtime, and it was fairly busy. I placed my Togo order and decided to head to Food Lion to get my shopping done. I will say it did take about 30 or so minutes to get the food, which was a lot but wasn't such a big deal for me. I got the Comet grill burger, which came with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and pimento cheese. Let's just say it was delicious! The burger itself was just exactly what I wanted. Now I will say that it did get a bit soggy just from the drive there back to my job. Mainly, it was the tomatoes at the bottom that made the bread soggy, so it was a bit messy, but it was delicious, so I did not mind at all. The fries were delicious as well. They had the right amount of crisp to them and were hot and not soggy, thankfully. I would defeintly come back as I wanted to try their wings out.
Ladies, gentlemen, and all connoisseurs of hunger, prepare for lift-off as we journey to the Comet Grill, a celestial body in the culinary universe of Dilworth, Charlotte, NC. Nestled in the cosmic expanse of the Food Lion shopping plaza, finding a parking spot here is easier than spotting a UFO on a clear night! Let's talk menu - a constellation of sandwiches, burgers, salads, and bar snacks, all crafted with interstellar skill. They say everything is made in-house, from sauces to hand-formed patties, and I believe it! They even cut their French fries and chips by hand – probably while juggling planets or something. Vegetarians, fear not! With offerings like house-made veggie chili and black bean burgers, you won't be left in the asteroid belt. For 27 light-years or human years, rather, Comet Grill has been serving the Charlotte community with a side of cosmic charm. They're open until 2am every day, because in space, no one cares about bedtime. And get this – live music five nights a week! But beware, earthlings: after 8PM, it's a 21+ space station. The place buzzes like a busy satellite later in the evening, and there's even an outdoor patio with heaters for when you're feeling a bit like Pluto. A full bar orbits the scene, with bottled and tapped beers, and the day's soundtrack was 'Sympathy for the Devil' by The Rolling Stones. How fitting, as this place is devilishly good! Let's talk about the cosmic commanders: Alicia and her daughter, Cora. Alicia, the bartender-cum-waitress, is so friendly she might be from Venus. She sat with me, shared stories of the restaurant's history, and knew her regulars’ orders by heart – probably telepathy. I didn't meet Cora, but I hear she mixes cocktails like she's stirring the Milky Way. Now, the All American Cheeseburger – a meteoric masterpiece. Served medium-ish with a galaxy of hand-cut fries slightly over-salted like a Martian margarita, but hey, we're not complaining, the burger was a celestial delight. American cheese draped over it like the rings of Saturn, all nestled in a perfectly toasted bun. At $12 only $8 on Saturn...I mean, Saturday, it's a steal! In conclusion, if you're star-hopping through Charlotte and hunger strikes, Comet Grill is your galactic gateway. Great food, stellar people, and a vibe that’s out of this world – it's no wonder there's a steady stream of earthlings even on a Monday at 4pm. I'll definitely be back, if not for the intergalactic company, then surely for another round with that burger. Houston, we have no problems here!

Great place for local and live music. Plenty of munchies on the menu and a beer list that's better than average.Atmosphere: 5/5
Great local spot for a quick bite to eat and grab a beverage. The burgers are some of the best in town and all sauces and salad dressings are made fresh in house daily.Food: 5/5
Overall, I enjoyed my meal and appreciated the kind, “southern-hospitality” service. Fries were cut fresh and by hand. A bit soggy so I’d likely get chips if I came back. Was charged $1 for a “typical” side of BBQ sauce for the fries. With the drink, meal came out to be ~$20 including 18% tip. Dietary restrictions: Small grill/cook area. Is not recommended for super sensitive dietary restrictions. Parking: Restaurant located near a food lion, so parking is widely available.
Great people. Felt welcomed and enjoyed the service. Love this establishment.Food: 5/5
Burger was amazing, mixed drink was WOW! Fries were good. Would love to catch this place at peak time, seems like a really good spot to hang at. Highly recommend.Food: 5/5
