Brooks' Sandwich House

The overview

Cash-only burgers all the way since 1973.

Brooks' Sandwich House has grilled its beloved burgers in Charlotte since 1973, a tiny cash-only walk-up near NoDa where twin brothers still work the flat-top their father opened. The double cheeseburger "all the way" with the house chili has a devoted, generations-deep following.

A Charlotte breakfast-and-burger institution for over 50 years, Brooks' is the 2025 Centurion Award winner.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Brooks' Sandwich House cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again.
