No Knife Chicken & Waffles

Bold flavor. Southern soul. Buttermilk-fried chicken, waffles pressed to order and the sides that finish the plate — brunch through late night on Atando Ave.

01 The Story

Charlotte raised.
Charlotte fed.

No Knife is a Charlotte-born take on an American classic: buttermilk-fried chicken, waffles pressed to order, and the sides that actually make a Sunday plate. Fast-casual in speed, upscale diner in feel.

We sit on Atando Ave in the North End — booths, counter seats, and a kitchen that keeps going long after the rest of the city has closed up. Come for brunch. Stay for the late night.
