Lupie's is one of the hole in the wall resturants that you would never give a 2nd glance. But as anyone can tell you, hole in the wall type places are usually some of the best. Lupie's almost always has a line...

Lupie's is fantastic! The service is superb and the food comes out quick! I'm addicted to their Texas Slaw Burger. It is so good. I always leave full and happy.

Great food! Great service! Love the atmosphere. The wings are fantastic with more than adequate serving for a wing fanatic! Diverse patronage and hodgepodge of decor all its own.

You can certainly get a ton of food at Lupie's. The chili mac plate, for instance, is similar to a Cincinnati chili serving in style (chili over spaghetti), and it even smells like you're walking...

Lupie's is located in one of the "cool" areas of Charlotte; just a couple of miles from downtown. You will need a big appetite and little money! Be prepared, though, to wait in line during peak times.
