Reid’s Fine Foods: A Charlotte Tradition Since 1928
Reid’s Fine Foods has been part of Charlotte’s food story since 1928.
Arthur Reid opened his original market with a clear idea of what good food should look like: thoughtfully chosen, carefully prepared, and worth going out of your way for. The market became known for gourmet foods, expert butchers, and even grocery delivery by bicycle.
Nearly a century later, that same standard still lives in one of Reid’s most recognizable products: its Cocktail Crackers.

Reid’s Cocktail Crackers are simple, crisp, and made to disappear quickly once the bag is opened.
The Original flavor is savory and easy to serve with cheese, spreads, dips, soups, or drinks. Cinnamon brings a sweeter version of the same familiar crunch.
Neither needs much explanation once someone tastes it.
That is part of what has kept Reid’s relevant for generations. The products are not built around novelty. They are made with the kind of straightforward quality people come back to.
Simple. Honest. Obsessively good.
Made for gathering—and gifting
Cocktail crackers are one of those foods that work almost anywhere.
Set them out before dinner. Add them to a charcuterie board. Pair them with a North Carolina-made dip or spread. Tuck a bag into a hostess gift, care package, or Carolina food basket.
They feel easy and familiar, but their Charlotte history gives them a story beyond the snack itself.
For someone who knows Reid’s, they can carry a little nostalgia. For someone discovering the brand for the first time, they are an introduction to a North Carolina food tradition that began long before gourmet grocery became a trend.
Reid’s Fine Foods at A Bit of Carolina
We carry both Original and Cinnamon Reid’s Cocktail Crackers because each brings something different to a North Carolina gift.
Original pairs naturally with savory sauces, cheeses, nuts, and pantry favorites. Cinnamon adds a sweeter note alongside candy, coffee, toffee, and other Carolina treats.
Choose one flavor, add both, or include Reid’s Cocktail Crackers in a custom North Carolina gift bundle shipped nationwide.
A Charlotte tradition, ready to be shared far beyond Charlotte.
