James Beard Restaurants in Charlotte
No Beard wins yet in Charlotte, but 6 spots carry national recognition, including a Michelin One Star.
Counter- leads the pack — a Michelin One Star and 2023 Beard Finalist, rated Delicious as F*ck. Restaurant Constance and Supperland back it up, both Michelin Selected and 2025 Beard Semifinalists. The rest stretches back further: a Damn Good cafe, and two On the Radar spots carrying semifinalist nods from 2019 and 2009. Recognition isn't our rating — we score all six on our own scale regardless.
