Comfort Food Restaurants near Concord, NC

“First time coming here and we loved it Servers were very friendly and nice and the chicken and waffles were perfect. They even offered to replace the bacon waffles with vanilla waffles and give the bacon on the side. I like how they call your name out by you favorite movie or tv show. It did take a bit of a while to get a table for just the 2 of us because most of them were tables of 4-6. Overall great tho“

“We go to Troutman’s every week and it is my favorite restaurant. The food is always good and Karen will go beyond to make sure everything is right. The Pot Roast on Sunday is to die for. Troutman’s is our place to go. Thank you Karen for the good job, I love the booths and they are just the right size for us.“

“We are photographers and tried Johnny's Farmhouse Restaurant after shooting a wedding this evening in Concord. It was an hour before close and our sweet waitress gave us just as much attention as if it was the middle of the day. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. When we received our meals, we were delightfully surprised at the size of the portions. I had the quarter fried chicken and my husband had the maple pork chop. We had squash, roasted baby potatoes, and green beans. We also had cornbread and rolls. Everything was fresh and homemade! We highly recommend Johnny's Farmhouse Restaurant if you are in Concord!“

“Exceptional Dining Experience at Que Onda Original!

We'd heard rave reviews about the original Que Onda restaurant, and our curiosity was piqued. Although we'd tried many of their dishes at other locations, we were eager to explore new options. The birria torta and birria ramen exceeded our expectations. The generous serving of tender, juicy meat was perfectly seasoned. The drinks were also very amazing and thirst quenching.

What truly stood out, however, was the restaurant's warm and inviting atmosphere. Even though this is the oldest Que Onda restaurant, it still holds its own homey charm - a true testament to the owners and manager's dedication to preserving its authentic character.

We'll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend trying their unique dishes. Service and quality were top-notch!“

“A regular customer I’m so glad I keep coming here. My family and I love it.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cuzzo Cuisine, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable culinary experience! Nestled in the heart of the university area, this gem offers a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complements its outstanding menu.
My daughter order the fried shrimp and lobster, and I was blown away by the freshness and flavor. The shrimp were perfectly crispy, while the lobster had a delightful tenderness that made each bite absolutely amazing!

The mac & cheese, which was nothing short of heavenly. Creamy, cheesy, and baked to perfection, it was a comforting side that paired beautifully with the seafood. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and it truly felt like a homemade dish that warms the soul.

The chicken and shrimp combo was another highlight. The chicken and shrimp bowl was served over a bed of rice inside of the half cut pineapple. Proportion size pineapples added twist to this dish, which was amazing. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The combination of tropical flavors was refreshing and complemented the heartier dishes beautifully.

Lastly, I can't forget to mention the flounder fish. It was light, flaky, and seasoned just right. The freshness of the fish really shone through, making it a delightful end to my meal.

Overall, Cuzzo Cuisine exceeded my expectations in every way. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was inviting. If you're in the Charlotte area, do yourself a favor and stop by for a meal that will leave you craving more. Five stars all the way!“

“My wife and I went to the Charlotte Hornets game on 3-8-25 and decided to stop here to get something to eat on our way home I got a text at 9:21pm saying that my food was ready but unfortunately when it became 10pm I’m still the only one waiting on my to go order so I notified the manager and he said that it was a mixup with my order and that he would correct it whatever that manager name is he was the nicest restaurant manager that I have ever met not only did I and my wife received a good hot steak dinner with those unbelievable delicious croissants but because of almost an hour wait he gave me a $40 gift card and refunded me my money and that’s what I called going above and beyond to make up for your mistake and making sure that the customer is satisfied I wish I knew his name but I give a big THANK YOU to the manager of the Cheddar’s in Charlotte NC“

“very disappointed on tonight with the online wait list (I had 4ppl ahead) but when I arrived...we not on the list? which they claim is not theirs on Google ? but clearly has the online + wait list visible with their business name, etc (the male manager advised this wasn't their online doing) I suggested they need to remove that, because that causes confusion. And then got on the list AGAIN hand written; and I was never texted or called to be seated??‍♀️ and it's 1am now, lol, so we went to Billy's to eat next door. This is normally a good place to eat when we come to Charlotte, idk what happened tonight. *I believe you'll do better family, I KNOW you can; take them rags off your head at the front desk, get a good uniform policy for the hostesses/waiters, stop hollering/yelling across the restaurant (I saw the manager do this tonight) bring more professionalism in the establishment. love you? ms melody“
