4 out of 5 stars

Casual smoky hangout has good food and a variety of drinks at great prices. This place shows an inventive transformation from a Pizza Hut into a corner bar with comforting wooden booths and tables, and a second story balcony with a view of downtown. Technically the view is of 3 small red lights at the top of a tower that is downtown. But if you drink enough from your pitcher you can see farther… probably.

Our crew ordered some fries with cheese on top and the fries were super crispy and crusty delicious. I hear it’s good to also get it with bacon and chives and of course ranch for dipping. People watching/listening is also interesting here..

Freshly made yogurt at Yovana

Yovana is actually a concept store from TCBY that serves fresh yogurt (non-frozen) as well as their frozen yogurt.  I got some for a quick bite at the Charlotte Airport on my way through and the yogurt is awesome!  They told me it's plain yogurt but it is actually a very creamy lowfat vanilla and I had one of their organic granolas and fruit in it like a parfait.  It's not cheap, about $5 for a small or a parfait, but it's one of the healthiest things available at the airport and it was so good I had to get some more on my stopover on the way home!  Service was horrible, but that's typical of airports.  Apparently not that many people order the "fresh" yogurt so they kept thinking I wanted frozen and had to ask twice to double check.
