Restaurants come and go, but memories are forever. In Charlotte, we’ve had plenty of iconic spots close up shop, like Price’s Chicken Coop and Mr. K’s. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could dine at those places once more? If you had your way, which restaurants would you bring back?

Whether the restaurant closed last year or last century, we want to know which Charlotte-area eateries you miss and why. Bonus points if you have an old photo you took there — email it to us at charlottefive@charlottefive.com with the details, and we might publish it with the results.

You can let us know your answers in the survey below. It’s not scientific, and if there is more than one restaurant you miss, you can vote more than once: just refresh the page. We’ll collect the responses for a future story.
