BFF, short for Burgers, Fries and Franks, is the newest addition to The Alley at Latta Arcade in uptown Charlotte, offering a farm-to-table menu in a fast-casual environment.

“Their mouthwatering burgers are expertly grilled to perfection, featuring locally sourced, farm-raised beef, served on a toasted bun,” The Alley at Latta Arcade website states. “Customize your ideal all-beef franks with a wide array of toppings and savor our delectable house-made fries. Experience culinary excellence delivered promptly with an extra serving of warm and welcoming service.”

The Alley at Latta Arcade is a new food hall designed as an “elevated street eats destination” inside the historic building that was built in 1914. BFF is one of the new spots inside, along with The Dumpling Lady and Felix Empanadas.

There are also plans to add more tenants, including a cocktail bar, coffee bar and taproom, CharlotteFive previously reported.

“Latta Arcade is a place of history and appreciation in Charlotte and we look forward to building upon that storied reputation,” Sam Ankin, founder and managing principal for Northpond Partners, previously said.

Right now, BFF is in a soft-opening phase, so the restaurant is only selling hot dogs, but the team hopes to roll out their full menu next month.
