“very nice experience on this diner because fast delivery and deliciouses food”
“We dine here when we visit Charlotte on vacation. The last 3 times were excellent. This time the fourth time, was not satisfactory. My partner ordered a slab of ribs and more than half of the ribs was fatty. Also, a physical fight between two women and a man occurred by the front door. If we were still standing, waiting to be seated, we would be in the middle of the fight. Not the restaurant's fault, but ruined our dining experience.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place is fantastic. 5 stars. Beautiful food, service, and atmosphere.”
“A rare gem in Charlotte yes it can be found in a strip mall like so many spots here. Your not coming for the location. Your coming for some of the best food made in Charlotte. One of the best restaurants in my humble opinion. A must if your a foodie do people still use that term?. I was even able to get a sneak preview of a sticky rib dish with some rice cakes. I make a point to come here often.”

“I have been vegan 20+ years and have dined all over the country I have to say this is some of the best vegan food around! They onion rings were amazing compared to others I've eaten. The atmosphere was very enjoyable and the owners were great! I highly recommend everyone try it!”
“I just had to share my experience at this amazing restaurant found out a local food group.,I'm so glad I decided try it. Let me tell you was blown away! I order the lamp gyro, the meat was so flavorful and juicy - definitely no dry meat here. It's really difficult to find good Mediterranean food in Florida, but in this place haa totally mastered it. The owner of the restaurant are such lovely people, and if you haven't been there yet, you're seriously missing out.”
“Great place ! To grab a delicious tacos ! I rate them 110% really great n the prices are pretty reasonable! I will always grab a bite when I’m on there side of town. Wish thy can expand a food truck in Huntersville although it’s really delicious place to grab dinner or lunch!”
“Food and service amazing However : Server totally ignored me and only talked to my daughter. Also we were asked to leave when they started to get busy. Music was loud and even my twenty something old daughter thought it was awful. Those things would prevent me from going back or recommending it to anyone else”
“10/10 experience, The staff even went above and beyond supplying my girlfriend a card AND flowers to take home! I truly applaud the staff. Charles our waiter was wonderful!”

“The place was recommended by a co-worker and WOW! Their menu looked amazing and our selections tasted even better! Everyone in our office devoured their meals. The Cuban Fried Rice was TO DIE FOR! Everyone was super friendly from the initial phone order through pickup. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a spectacular meal in the area!”

“the pistachio baklava latte was so good. TK is everything you could want in a proprietor ( friendly! helpful! generous!) I found this beloved neighborhood coffeehouse by looking online. I wanted somewhere I would feel comfortable lounging ( comfortable chairs and various rooms/spaces, warm, good zibe) and working. I was not looking for a sleek sterile coffeehouse. I loved it that people can draw or write on the walls and that even though this was done with sharpies, I didn't see any evidence of ill will or critiquing if others. I was offered a sharpie myself not long after I arrived. what a great place! I'll be back whenever I pass through Charlotte. did I mention that the pistachio baklava latte was delicious? real pistachios! just right sweetness.”

“I visited this location recently. The manager, I didn't get his name, but he was simply amazing. I was having a rough day, & he had to know. When I tell you he went above & beyond & really made my day. The food was excellent as usual, he was the light of my day...hate I didn't get his name ❤️????”
“Me and my date had kenisha as our waitress. Thoroughly enjoyed her. We sat on the patio and no one had come to service us. I found her and from that moment she took care of us the whole night. Very sweet girl! Will be visiting Fumée again in the near future”

“This was my second time coming here and this time I went in the evening with one of my friends. We went on a Thursday night and I really like the evening / after work vibe! It was really chill, the ambience was nice, and the food was great per usual. Aura is one of my favorite rooftops in Charlotte and it's great for a girls day/night, light drinks and bites before the night begins, or for a date night. Will be back!”

“The best tacos I’ve ever had and the freshly made margaritas (on the rocks, which is a 1st), hands down topped the cake! Amazing staff, so friendly and outgoing. Definitely a place we will visit again if in the area!!! If I could rate it a 10, I would!!! It’s clean - so clean!!!! Check it out - you WON’T be disappointed..”

The restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning soon!”

“We have visited this location multiple times for brunches, social gatherings, and dinners. Every time has been a wonderful experience. My daughter chose L&P for her bday dinner with all of our family and everyone loved it. Some item s were a little heavy on the salt, and the kale salad was too heavy with the citrus dressing (seemed it wasn't blended?), but overall the meal was delicious from apps to entree to dessert ( chocolate cake- yum!). Our waitress was engaged, friendly, and attentive to our every need- before we even had to ask. We will continue to patronize L&P!”
“Corinne (I hope I got the spelling right) is SUPER NICE and professional. She is usually the person at the drive-thru who you give your money to (first window). She smiles, she’s in proper uniform, and she’s so personable. We love this McDonald’s over all the others in the area!!”

“This is my "Go To Place" while taking my lunch. For convenience, I recommend that you order through Clover prior to pickup. I absolutely love the food, readiness and customer service each time I dine here. Estella and staff go above and beyond to ensure that your order is ready in a timely manner. My food recommendations would be: 10pc Wings Garlic Parmesan and Strawberry Hot (36 flavors to choose from0, Avocado Chicken Wrap w/ Pasta Salad, Double Cheeseburger combo w/ fries,”
“My wife and I had dinner at the Charlotte location this evening. We had great service from our server Noah, who was very quick to take our drink order and provided attentive service for our entire dinner. We both ordered a Chimichangas (my wife had the chicken and I had the beef). Both were delicious, well seasoned and served hot. (fwiw) noted the staff were sweeping and cleaning the restaurant tables quickly, after a table turned.”
“Our neighbors and we so enjoyed the Dinner Detective! The actors were hilarious. They worked hard to make the event very interactive. Many of us in the audience were teased and encouraged to enjoy the experience! What a blast!”

“On Friday 8/23, we came to The Crunkleton on a recommendation for my daughter’s birthday and we were NOT disappointed! From the moment we walked in the atmosphere and the staff were wonderful! We had Cole as our server and regardless of how busy it was that night, he made us feel like we were his only priority. He was very knowledgeable about your massive spirit selections and I mean massive! The food was fantastic and cooked to perfection. We got the Really Good Burger and let me tell you, we said medium and it was on point! It was very well seasoned which is rare when you go out to restaurants. Then to top off the night, my daughter got the beignets with the cold brew icing, WOW! I am a sweets person and these with that icing just WOW! Cole even put a candle on the rim of the dish because it was her birthday! So, you have our business any time we are in Charlotte! I just can’t say enough about our experience!!! You have a great place, amazing food, a wonderful spirits collection, and definitely not last or least a fantastic server in Cole!! Thank you for making my daughter’ s birthday and my first time in Charlotte such a great memory!!!”
“As frequent online ordering, in conjunction with dine in service, my wife and I truly enjoy each and every dining experience at this location. The meals are well seasoned and cooked to perfection. It's great eating healthy food that taste this good. It's also a nice touch to not have a long wait whenever ordering online. Kudos to Nick and the staff for always enabling us to have a most enjoyable dining experience. Keep up the good work. You're the "BEST of the BEST"!!!!”
“We had an awesome experience at Chex Grill & Wings after visiting Beat The Bomb for my daughter’s birthday celebration! I had a group of five 10-year-olds (plus a few others), and the staff was incredibly patient as the kids figured out what they wanted to order. They even let us sample the chicken wings before choosing—huge win! The wings were delicious—especially the Strawberry Hot flavor, which is now officially my favorite! While we were enjoying our food, a man came in and sat down nearby—we thought he was just another customer, but it turns out he was the owner! He was so kind and invited my daughter (the birthday girl) and her friend to take on the 60-second wing challenge for a chance to win $50. My daughter won, and when the owner asked if she wanted to give her $50 to her friend, she said yes—and then he surprised her by giving her $100! Such a kind and thoughtful gesture. To top it all off, the staff sang Happy Birthday to my daughter and brought her a slice of cake. 🥹❤️ The avocado side salad was also super fresh and tasty. The restaurant was clean, the staff were friendly, and the service was fast. Highly recommend—this place made our celebration so special!”
“One of my kiddos’ favorite donut spots! We love the flavors but more importantly their service is second to none. Stopped in yesterday for some birthday donuts and the sweet man behind the counter gave us 2 for free. So sad their storefront will be closing but can’t wait to continue to support Jasmine and team on their next venture!”
“Must go. I love the atmosphere. Great place to go if you want some good food and watch sports… 😊
The smoked BBQ wings are amazing!

“We had a wonderful time at this location. Had reservations for our anniversary. Table was ready on time. Dom was our serve, he went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Our food was amazing but the service was top notch. Dom even brought out a special dessert for us to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you Dom and the staff for a great evening.”
“Came after a matinee at the Blumenthal to celebrate my birthday with friends. From the minute we walked in, the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Our server Staton was exceptional — completely familiar with the menu and specials, as well as the wine list. Never intrusive, he provided personalized service at every turn. I loved the Waygu filet, which was perfectly cooked as requested. Started with a cup of lobster bisque, lots of lobster meat, a bit thicker than I might've liked, but I still ate every bite. We all shared the potatoes au gratin, mushrooms and creamed spinach. Other guests had the porterhouse (recently returned to the menu), and the filet. The Bearnaise sauce accompanying the filet was excellent. All in all, a really nice night out at Capital Grille!”
“A night to remember at The McNinch House 🌹✨ Growing up, my Dad wasn’t just an industrial engineer—he was a hobby chef with serious skills. He spent his childhood in restaurants, and at home, he brought that magic to our table. I didn’t grow up eating “normal kid food,” and to this day, he’s the best cook I know. My love for food? 100% from him. The McNinch House has been on my list for over a decade—and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Executive Chef Eric O’Connor, who joined just a year ago, blew us away. We had the 4-course tasting menu (I truly don’t know how people survive the 5-course!), and every dish was a standout: *Corn & Clam Chowder – the cream is everything *Bone Marrow – best I’ve ever had *Lamb Lollipops (my husbands) – best I’ve ever had; perfectly cooked *Pork Wellington (my husbands) – the basil took it over the top *Snapper Succotash – the bacon made it *Crème Brûlée – perfectly done From the surprise oyster starter (cool presentation served in a shell over ice) to the palate-cleansing sorbet between courses, every detail was thoughtful and special. Chef Eric personally served our entrée—how cool is that? The service was impeccable, with a main server and 2-3 others helping throughout. At the end, they even handed me a freshly picked rose from their garden. 💐 We dined in a historic 1800s home filled with charm, and afterward strolled through the garden—flowers everywhere, twinkle lights, fountains, and the Charlotte skyline in view. I had to ask for the chef’s autograph and a photo—he’s just that good. We told him he deserves a star, and he smiled and said, “We’re on the list.” So now I’m shouting from the rooftops: let’s help make that Michelin star happen! He absolutely deserves it. Thank you, Chef Eric and the entire McNinch House team, for one of the most enchanting, romantic, and memorable meals I’ve ever had in Charlotte. The whole evening—2.5 hours of pure joy—was not just dinner, it was an experience. ❤️”
“You don’t know what you’re missing out on if you haven’t used Bakery Atelier! This cake looked amazing, and even better - taste was exquisite! Highly recommend for any gatherings you’re planning in the future. We will definitely be ordering again! And you talk about creativity - look at the ice cubes in the photos (in comments)!!”
“I have ordered two large custom cakes twice from this shop! Excellent customer service and the owner Jackie is super easy to work with. Everyone loved the cake designs and the taste of both cakes. I have ordered custom cakes in the past from other shops over the years in Charlotte and this cake shop is far by the best!”

“What a gem! In house drip of the day was perfectly hot and deliciously brewed. A must try- the everything savory danish. I absolutely loved the self service station to heat my pastry and doctor my coffee as I like. I’m excited to try the freshly ground for me bag of beans I chose to take home. It’s a pleasure to support a local and small business. Bonus: if you can’t make it in person, they do Friday deliveries! A must try for sure!”
“My friends and I visited last week and instantly fell in love with the Romeo and Katrina as well as their food. They were so hospitable and accommodating. Everything is made fresh and with love, even the juice was superb. We will be visiting again. The food was delicious”
“I am an Argentina native and was so excited to find out about this place. The medialunas are amazing ! the dough of the empanadas are 10/10 but I feel the empanada filling is overwhelmed by cumin. If it didn't have cumin, I feel like they would even be better than my mom's!”
“We used Dave's Hot Chicken at 1300 The Plaza in Charlotte NC for a catering order for a company lunch. They did a fantastic job.Gabby and Devin who handled the catering and delivery were awesome. The food arrived hot and on time. They even helped set everything thing up
I highly recommend them for all your catering needs!”
“This mama and Papa place is so good but the space is very small and my only complaint was the parking lot because it’s made out of gravel and they get enough money to put cement on his ground and the parking spots are very bad. Definitely if it’s packed, but the food was delicious 10 Out of 10”
“if you want amazing food at a reasonable price, come here. many options and so yummy. ask for Jamina. she was on top of everything and a kind soul”

“The service was great and our waiter jaicee was really nice and very formal. The restaurant was a 10/10 and the experience is great when you come here.”
“Eaten here a few times. Food and staff always good. However tonight’s dining experience was lessened by a constant crying, whining, loud, fussing two or 3 year old little boy during our entire meal. His parents did nothing. The waitress even asked if he was ok, and the mother said he was just tired. 😳 Other patrons (and other wait staff) were visibly bothered as well and some asked for the manager. An entire room of paying patrons were subject to this. At what point does something need to be said or done?? We left as soon as we could - no dessert or anything. we did see the manager appear a few minutes before we left — so not sure if anything was said or done but totally disappointed the parents lacked any sense or common courtesy to their surroundings — this wasn’t McDonalds. We brought half our food home. Wish management would’ve/could’ve done something sooner. Not the kid’s fault. This was a total failure on the parents. Unreal. Still a great place to eat but we’ll leave much sooner if this happens again.”
“Man… this place is hands down probably the best dining experience I’ve ever had in charlotte. The atmosphere, service, plating, menu etc are all very very impressive. The MOST impressive was Tommy and his extensive knowledge in wines and sparkling wines.. he took our table on an incredible journey pairing delicious wines and trivia with the exquisite dishes that Will and the boys prepared. I personally had the bison bolognese with handmade pasta and he brought an insanely awesome Cab out to pair it with- Dude was cruising around casually in a t-shirt absolutely OWNING his craft. Not only was my pállete entertained but we also learned a shit-ton about the wine and its origins. For the first time in 10+ years I didn’t feel like I was caught up in a get-in/get-out high dollar dining scheme- rather, it was an amazing immersive experience. If I thought I could pay double just to experience last night over again I would make multiple reservations to do so. The current menu and staff as well as management is absolutely crushing and impressing. I don’t see how this place doesn’t have a solid 5 star rating. Keep it up please! I will be back very soon.”
“We went to Dressler’s tonight for my husband’s Birthday. We had never been but wanted to try it since we loved their old Dogwood concept. Michelle was our waitress and truly made the evening so special. She was so knowledgeable around the menu and so attentive and fun. The food was exceptional. I had the waygu flank special and he had the 16oz ribeye. The shrimp appetizer was a great way to start and the apple crisp was a perfect ending to the meal. We were so excited to see the manager from the old Dogwood concept working there. She is so great too. Thank you for having such an amazing space that can make nights so memorable.”
“This place was so nice the employees were the bomb My waiter Greg S was soooooo nice I'm coming back”
“Great food and service favorite ramen is the spicy vegan with fried chicken!”
“Never had a bad meal at Chris and Sue's restaurants over 30 years. Everything about our dining experience was outstanding. Great menus, farm to table food and service with a smile. Thanks for all the wonderful food over the many years.”
“Tania did a great job and explained the meñu very well to us and made sure we were taken care of will be back.”
“Visiting Charlotte from New Hampshire, but had scouted out this place before we came. Interestingly enough, it appeared on the list of recommended places from our Airbnb hosts as well. We are very into the farm to table movement, big time Farmers market shoppers ourselves as well. The staff was very friendly, and more importantly, knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was excellent. They were very helpful in accommodating a honey allergy, even whipping up an alternative dressing for the salad we ordered. For the record, the kale salad we had was beyond exceptional. I am not exaggerating when I say that is was the best salad I have eaten in my 65 years! Recommended unconditionally. A must-stop for our next trip to Charlotte.”
“Eating here is always a great expedience. Some of the best drinks and food in Charlotte. The service is top notch and the staff is friendly. Shot out to Mel the best server around!”
“Felt like i was in the village in NYC! Food was awesome! The best Italian I’ve had in a while! The homade pastas were to die for! Out of short rib but had chicken piccata and bronzino! So so good! The Burrata was awesome and the oysters, yellowtail and were so fresh and the sauces were key! Need to know how to make them! Tiramisu was yummy! Wine selection was great! Our server was so fun and loved the atmosphere! We will be back! Worth the car ride from the lake! Don’t forget the charcuterie! Lol”
“Unos de los mejores restaurantes que he visitado, la atención, la comida todo perfecto. Volvería todos los fines de semana si pudiera.”
“The food and drinks are perfect, very tasty. Service was really good every staff member was very attentive”
“One of my absolute favorite restaurants in CLT!
We stay at The Grand Bohemian every time we are in town and have always enjoyed the fabulous bar & restaurant on site. The entire staff have been nothing but wonderful and lovely. Can't wait to go back.”
“Incredible food, history, atmosphere, art, music and service. Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time and best dining experience to be had in Charlotte period.”
“What a gem! We came here while in town for a conference and so many people had told us to come here that we had to give it a try! The ambience is just what you would want out of a speakeasy! It’s downstairs in a true cellar, has a comforting smoky smell, and is dark, like a well kept secret! We sat at the bar since we didn’t have a reservation and loved this experience. Spencer was our bartender and was so helpful! He made great recommendations! I enjoyed a mocktail Mojito that he suggested and it was delicious and refreshing! I ordered the burger and it was so flavorful and juicy! The fries were well seasoned and hot too! My friend got the short ribs and was so pleased with her choice! We both had clean plates when we were done! Highly recommend if you’re in or around Charlotte!”
“Dinner at The Cowfish is always a win. We’ve visited the Orlando location dozens of times, but tonight bisited the Charlotte location since we were in town. Faith, our server, recommended the Togarashi shrimp, and it was phenomenal. Mel, the manager, came out and spoke to us about our visits to Orlando, made some more recommendations, and made sure we were well set for the evening. We had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and Texas chili cheeseburger, both were absolutely excellent. The Cowfish is a must stop in Charlotte or Orlando!”
“The food is amazing, the decor is beautiful and classy it’s a wonderful vibe with amazing drinks. Check it out the service is top tier!!!”
“This was my first time but definitely not my last. The food was absolutely delicious. Our server Swede was attentive and as well friendly . Can't wait to return !”
“We went to Red Rocks South Park for Queens Feast Saturday Everything was fabulous! Elizabeth is exceptional!! Loved every meal we’ve ever had there. The manager Graham came by our table and all 4 of us had so much fun chatting with him. I highly recommend going. Try to get Elizabeth’s table as she aims to please. And don’t leave without having a chat with Graham. You won’t be disappointed!”
“We enjoyed the atmosphere, food and drinks so much!! One of the owners came out to serve us and was very nice, knowledgeable and ready to educate us on the menu and drink menu. Everything was very clean and inviting. I give them 5 stars and will be returning when we are back in town!!”
“Absolutely wonderful food we love taking our family here when in visiting!! 🤌🏼”
“Celebrated son’s milestone to adulthood, 20th birthday as a fellow pizza lover here. After reading reviews, we drove from SC and we all agreed it was the best pizza. The staff was friendly and professional. Only downside is the no indoor seating but the outdoor aesthetics was cozy.”
“I recently celebrated my birthday at Spice Charlotte Restaurant, and I had an incredible time! The restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way and made my birthday celebration truly memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing. The interior design was stylish and modern, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lighting was perfect, creating a cozy and intimate setting for my special occasion. The staff at Spice Charlotte Restaurant were extremely attentive and friendly.

At the end, they even handed me a freshly picked rose from their garden. 💐 We dined in a historic 1800s home filled with charm, and afterward strolled through the garden—flowers everywhere, twinkle lights, fountains, and the Charlotte skyline in view. I had to ask for the chef’s autograph and a photo—he’s just that good. We told him he deserves a star, and he smiled and said, “We’re on the list.” So now I’m shouting from the rooftops: let’s help make that Michelin star happen! He absolutely deserves it. Thank you, Chef Eric and the entire McNinch House team, for one of the most enchanting, romantic, and memorable meals I’ve ever had in Charlotte. The whole evening—2.5 hours of pure joy—was not just dinner, it was an experience. ❤️”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! The food and service were absolutely outstanding. We shared a selection of small plates, each more delicious than the last. The restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning soon!”
“The food and service was great, cozy vibe with great decor and music!”
“I called to place an order the girl who answered was extremely professional and has great customer service. I order 2 griot. My food was ready and waiting for me. Food is delicious.
That’s the type of service i look forward too”
“I suggested to our HOA board that we go eat at Que Onda after our meeting this evening. They joked that you have to take a loan out to eat there... prices have increased. Still, we enjoyed their food in the past, and we like to support local businesses in our community. First, no more chips and salsa when you sit down ... not even an offering. What Mexican restaurant doesn't have chips and salsa when you sit down? And for dinner I ordered a taco salad, sans beans, cheese and pico. I subbed rice and mushrooms. I was charged $9.95 for the shell and lettuce, $3 for rice and $4 for mushrooms. I have ordered this veggie alternative for years at several places - never have I been charged $17 for a "salad". Had the waitress mentioned the upcharge at the time I ordered, I could have made a decision to go ahead or to change my order. But she NEVER mentioned the additional cost. Sadly, they lost 3 local customers tonight, as well as being one of the catering / community meetup options we were just discussing 30 minutes earlier. Be fair. Be transparent. Discuss additional costs instead of simply charging and assuming your customers want to pay extra - again, I would have changed my order. Adios Que Onda!”
“This was an A+!!! I have never experienced flavors like this place. It was so good we even had to tell the chef how awesome he is. I recommend this place 1000% !!”
“No place better for food allergic patrons who also want delicious fare. My family and I are now your newest loyal customers and are forever grateful that our children can eat safely somewhere other than our kitchen. Absolutely delicious as well.”
“Everything about our experience was exceptional. They nailed the atmosphere, service and especially the food. The food was fresh and full of flavor. Definitely not confused on the fact that we will be back.”
“We had an anniversary dinner here and it was wonderful. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The server was sweet, professional, knowledgeable and gave us good suggestions. The ambience was cozy and, importantly, it was quiet. We will definitely come again.”
“Exceptional Mexican food. My carnitas taco was A+ & the tortillas were about as authentic as they get 👍🏻 I was skeptical trying another Mexican restaurant & was pleasantly surprised 👍🏻”

“First time going here, and I was impressed. It took a while to be greeted by our server, but he took immediate action because we waited so long, and even took care of one of our appetizers. I was very impressed with him, and with our food. The ahi tuna app was amazing!”

“I had an amazing experience at Chex Grill & Wings in Mount Holly! The food was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned wings with a great variety of flavors to choose from. The fries were crispy, and the portions were generous. The staff was super friendly and made sure everything was just right. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend it to anyone craving great wings and comfort food.”
“Omg, food is AMAZING! I’m vegan and this is by far the best vegan food I’ve had in a long time from a restaurant. The owner/chef came out to bring me my food and she is so sweet. It made me happy to experience her and her food. She has gained a forever customer and I wish nothing but the best for her and her business.”

“We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Amazing food and the best service from Allyssa for Sunday brunch! She went out of her way to be friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! Even brought us a special treat for our birthdays! We highly recommend this great restaurant and will definitely be back!”
“While the food and service are always good here, tonight both were exceptional. Our waiter did an amazing job with our drinks. Both alcohol and nonalcoholic varieties and when he was tied up with another table, another server noticed my wife's Diet Coke glass was empty and got her a refill. Top notch. Well done!”
“So sorry to say that our server was extremely slow. It took him a long time to bring our drinks since the beginning and our second cups of coffee even more. We love going to RH at anytime of the day and always loved it. We brought friends from Atlanta that came to visit and it was their first time at your restaurant. They loved everything but did ask if the services was always this slow. Suggestion... why don't you serve coffee with a small personal carafe for each or a large one for everyone.”
“Our first visit, we will be back! Service was excellent, food & drinks were delicious. Everything was spotlessly clean, & we really appreciated how courteous the staff were - from the host when we first walked in, & our wonderful server, to the manager who checked in on us. How dining out should be!”

“Thank you so much to Ms Stacey and her mother for hosting our Chocolate Milk Cafe' family meet up today! We had such a great turn out, and Grow Cafe' is such a beautiful concept that accommodates the needs of parents and children to have a safe place to play and fellowship!”
“So refreshing to have something like Rada in Charlotte. My husband and I enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here! I felt like I was in SF or DC. Every dish we said “wow, this is so unique… these flavors…” etc etc. Each dish was carefully prepared and thought through. We did 2 small plates, 2 mediums, and a large, and it was plentyyy of food. The tri-tip… no words! The ravioli with fresh tomatoes… divine.
Eclectic environment, yet cozy and welcoming. We loved that every runner was different, it felt like we met the entire restaurant in just an hour and a half.
As a small biz owner, I applaud the owners and managers behind here. It takes a ton of guts and courage to open a restaurant, and they did so with gusto. I look forward to supporting however I can. Congrats team!!”
“The bar is a nice spot, it host NFL nights. I am a big Lions fan, and the Detroit take - over is real. The drinks are decent priced. The only complaint is they need more bartenders. I always have a good time. Food trucks show up during the game nights as well. I'm not sure if they are there normally.”
“American Airlines did not get my luggage on a transfer flight to CLT Airport, so I had to hang around the baggage claim to wait for my bags. To my my surprise and pleasure, I found a restaraunt in the unsecured area of the airport, which was nice so I didn't have to go through security again to get something to eat. I ordered the Barrel House BBQ Chicken Flatbread. This pizza was very large. Interestingly, it had corn on the pizza, which I've never had before, but it really worked. Overall, the pizza was surprisingly good given it was ordered at an airport restaurant. The female working the restaurant was kind and friendly. Overall, I did not expect much from this restaurant but was very pleasantly surprised with the food.”
“This was my second time coming here and this time I went in the evening with one of my friends. We went on a Thursday night and I really like the evening / after work vibe! It was really chill, the ambience was nice, and the food was great per usual. Aura is one of my favorite rooftops in Charlotte and it's great for a girls day/night, light drinks and bites before the night begins, or for a date night. Will be back!”
