Charlotte’s food scene saw a big shakeup in 2025—over 60 beloved restaurants closed, even as new spots kept popping up. For many of us, losing places like Bar-B-Q King after 60+ years, JJ’s Red Hots, and Mattie’s Diner felt like saying goodbye to old friends. Fenwick’s made a surprise comeback, but most didn’t get that second chance. It’s a tough reminder of how rising costs and changing tastes are reshaping our neighborhoods. Which spot do you miss the most, and what memories will you hold onto? Let’s share our stories and support the places we love while we still can. #Food #CharlotteEats #SupportLocal
