Family owned and operated since 1967, Mr. K's Soft Ice Cream has remained a Charlotte native favorite. Fun fact: It's operating in the exact same location as the day it opened! This place is known for their "Mr. K" Burgers as well as their wide variety of desserts, such as Milkshakes, Floats, and Soft Serve & Hand-Dipped Ice Cream. Located just outside of uptown in Southend makes this a great on-the-go lunch option if you're going to or from the city. Make sure to stop by and say hello to George and the rest of the family that still work there to this day.
