“Josh was awesome and provided the total experience with his professionalism and knowledge. We have been traveling to Charlotte for various events but have always failed to eat at this restaurant due to being too long of a wait. We made it a point to eat here this trip and was so glad to have Josh as our server. Great service!Vegetarian options: Just ask.”
“We were in town for one night and We didn't have reservations but when we arrived, they said the wait time was 45-55mins. We waited close to 90mins for a table while others passed us by. I think they forgot about us until I got up to check- then they said 'sorry about the wait, we will seat you next.'Other than that, the food was delicious & our waiter Jason was very nice.WOULD RECOMMEND MAKING A RESERVATION”

ANJU
“I’ve heard about Anju through some people that I follow on social media. They have only posted amazing picture and said great things about this place and I can confirm they’re on point with what they say. Charlotte needs a restaurant like Anju, bringing diversity, something new and executing delicious food and welcoming service! I treated myself to a solo dinner and it was exactly what I needed. David, my bartender, guided me through the menu with both food and beverages. We made great conversation and it was just a great experience overall. Anyone who enjoys good food and something new should definitely take the opportunity to come here!”

“My food was so good! I had the malai kofta and gulab jamun for dessert. The gulab jamun was served warm and was so delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try the dosas.”
“Visited in March of 2024. Gelato, filthy fries, and the soup of the day. Flavors and textures were on point.Such an array of gelato to choose from. Just visit, see, and taste it all.Since I was billed for TOGO packaging, I wish the soup was in one bowl and not two.Would recommend!”

Yunta
“First time here and it was great experience. The food and service was great- it gets crowded easily so make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. When our waiter asked if we wanted dessert, he came out with all desserts in a sampler plate for us to see. We were very impressed, 10/10!”

“We did The Treatment on this visit and loved everything they served. This is the chef's tasting....you can pick what % you'd like as seafood vs meat. We did 75% fish/seafood and were happy with the balance. Great drinks, amazing service by Tanya!”

“I love this place. They do the little things well—always friendly staff, clean and spacious dining area, and fun drinks. We’ve been a couple times, but decided to come and try the Spring seasonals. My Strawberry cold foam Matcha Latte was exceptional, and my gf loved her raspberry white mocha as well. There are lots of places to sit and charge if needed, which makes it even better. Just wish they were open Sundays to take more of our money!!!”
“I was looking for a restaurant for my wife and I for our anniversary. I always wanted to eat here when I lived in Plaza but finally remembered to come since it's a special occasion.Our serve was Dylan and he didn't disappoint with service and recommendations. Ambiance was very Christmas-like and personal especially since it was the holiday's, which felt very private and personal.For starters, I had the escargot and my wife had the Apply Begger's Purse. I was a little surprised with the Gorgonzola taste since I was used to copious amounts of traditional garlic with the dish, but it was surprisingly tasty. The purse was also a good mixture of sweet and savory.I tend to be an adventurous eater and he recommended the ostrich since it was the special for the weekend while my wife had also had the special which was halibut. The Ostrich wasn't very gamy at all the was a mixture of beef and duck tase which took me for a pleasant surprise and the Halibut was cooked perfectly and wasn't very dry.For desert we tried their Flourless Molten Lava Trifle and it was he right amount of sweet.Overall, it was an amazing experience will highly recommend for any special occasion or just date night. Will be back for sure!”

“When you travel, you have to get pizza right??? Searching the Charlotte area near my hotel, I came across the most enticing photos of pizzas loaded with toppings.... To. The. Edge! I had to give them a shot. A short drive over (would have been even shorter but I ordered when schools were getting out for the day). They are located in a shopping Plaza with plenty of parking. Very spacious inside with lots of seating. I was immediately greeted by someone tending to the front area and happily greeted again at the pickup area. I ordered a small meat lovers, the single meatball, the creamy parmesan (because I saw the raving reviews), and some additional hot marinara. Pizza was hot and fresh and looked oh so good. The crispy pepperoni cups, the ham, bacon, sausage...my mouth was watering and I could not wait to taste this. Finally time to eat, I could taste everything!!! The sauce was just the right amount to allow the flavors of the meat and cheese to shine through. The meatball was huge and delicious! The parmesan- get extra. You will need some for your next order of wings. I sent pictures to my family and Mom requested a pizza too. So I will be back so she can experience her own! These leftovers are going to be the best. I just know it!”

Herman, customer service is five star, food wise, every croissant is made perfectly flakiestly deliciously, breakfast sándwiches to the top, coffees…..all around service, atmosphere, everything about this place makes us go back for the day and also the chance to bring their goodies to my family back in Florida.

“Really, really solid option especially during Savor. For $50/person, you get a three course meal. And these aren’t skimpy portions either like what some restaurants do during Queens Feast. These are proper, regular sized dishes.Every restaurant can choose how they want to approach Savor. I liked how 300 set up their menu with one old trustee option (current menu) and one new option for each course. Between my partner and I, we were able to try everything. Here’s our take:StartersBaked Goat Cheese (old trustee): I see why this is a fan favorite. The cheese is baked with good olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. Comes with a baguette, but I preferred dipping my biscuit instead (more on that below).Biscuit Flight (new item): Comes with three biscuits!! As well as three savory dips that are made in house. The dips were okay but as aforementioned using the goat cheese like a spread was the move for me.MainsSesame Salmon (old trustee): I actually make a dish similar to this at home, so it didn’t blow my mind but my partner liked it well enough.Roasted Half Chicken (new item): Had a nice roasted, crispy skin. Came with a garlic jus gravy and veggies. If you are carbed out from the apps, this is a good option. Again, simple but good.DessertIce Cream Sandwich (old trustee): If I could handle my caffeine after 12pm, I would have definitely eaten more of this. The espresso ice cream paired so well with the maple oatmeal cookie. Glad to know it’s a regular on the menu so I can come back and get it for an early lunch.Cheesecake (new item): Get the ice cream sandwich.”
“Lunch date with my daughters and some friends. First time visiting this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding. We tried several dishes. Lomo saltado, chaufa rice, salad , sandwich de pollo and Cuban fried rice. Every dish was delicious. We will definitely return soon !”
“Today was our first time at Pinky's, but it won't be the last! From the fried pickles to the main course, everything was amazing! Service was fast, friendly and my glass was never empty. I would definitely recommend Pinky's to everyone.”
“Went here with friends. This is a first-time experience for us. We had a great waitress who explained how to order and cook food at our table. We were told we could order as much as we wanted and have 2 hours to eat. Any wasted food we didn't consume we would be charged per pound. The food selection was the K pot meals and the BBQ. We could order from both menus but $5 would be extra for the BBQ. Some of the meats such as prime rib or lamb were sliced paper thin, as were the soft tofu, all cooked in less than a minute and were not satisfying. The steak and short ribs were a decent size and fairly tender. Vegetables took the longest time to cook and I suggest to cook them first before one cooks thicker foods. I tried the mushroom soup and didn't like it. But my dining mate ordered the spicey Thai Tom yum soup and liked it. The chicken bulgoki just ok. Overall some items we ordered were satisfying ,others not so much. There was a sauce bar which also had French fries and small fried chicken tenders, all average tasting. There are vegetarian and vegan choices for soups, vegetables and noodles. Plenty of Beef, chicken, seafood , soy and pork items to choose from. Although the restaurant is clean the loud pounding repetitive background instrumental music was not conductive for a relaxing meal. We were glad we experienced this type of dining but decided once was enough for us. It can be a bit overwhelming when raw items placed on a small table area are waiting to be cooked. I suggest get a few items, cook and eat and order more as you wish Our meal per person for both hot pot and BBQ, was $35 .”
“I thought it was great, the food was amazing and the dessert was amazing. The actors kept me entertained throughout the whole night. Great experience all around.”
“Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. Service was amazing. It was both of our first time and the menu and process were explained thoroughly. Excellent recommendations were made and we loved every course. Definitely recommend.”

“I always have the best time at Fumee, especially when LaShaun is our server! She’s attentive, polite and soo helpful! The food, drinks and hookah is always top tier here and the vibes are unmatched!”
“Amazing place! My husband and I’s first date was at a Mexican restaurant; it’s kind of been our thing ever since! Our favorite tacos are a taco truck in our home town; we love the real thing. This place is it!! Everything was perfect! And the owner came around and spoke and checked on everyone and was so nice! Amazing, authentic food and family owned! Seriously seriously so good!”
“We did The Treatment on this visit and loved everything they served. This is the chef's tasting....you can pick what % you'd like as seafood vs meat. We did 75% fish/seafood and were happy with the balance. Great drinks, amazing service by Tanya!”
“What an outstanding dining experience! My lovely date and I were immediately taken with the ambiance, as soon as we walked in. The feeling of a well-run establishment was palpable. Bradley was just awesome, took great care of us, and made special note of my date's dietary restrictions and made accommodations accordingly. The food was amazing! The lamb shank dish instantly made this restaurant our new favorite in Charlotte. The green curry mussels were absolutely the best I've ever had (and I'm not a fan of any bivalve mollusk except scallops). Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a wonderful experience.”
“This restaurant is absolutely amazing. First of all, it is beautiful and in a very convenient place. The waiter was just so nice and owned the restaurant. He seemed calm, happy, and ready to serve. For the fun of it, our waiter decided to let my brother serve our table, showing him how to serve in this particular restaurant. At the end of our dine in, he took off money from our order because of my brother serving our family. He was very funny and we had a great time. On top of this, it was my dad’s birthday today, and he had a marvelous time watching my brother serve our family and eating his very delicious chickpea and quinoa chicken. The food came out quickly and was absolutely comforting. I myself also had a lemonia, which is a drink with soda, lemon, mint, and agave. Overall this restaurant deserves a visit and needs a five star review.”
“Abby provided great service during our dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and friendly. The food service always exceeds my expectations. The food was plated beautifully and food was superb! Highly recommend!”
“We've been coming here religiously ever since we moved to Charlotte, and it's the first place we suggest when we have people visit. I've never had a bad meal here. The food is always delicious, and the Well-Fed platter is one of the best deals in town. The only complaint I have is that they are missing a southern staple: fried okra. That would make it an 11/10.”
“Dining at Counter- was a transformative experience, blending nostalgia with culinary innovation across a 10-course meal that left me in awe. Chef Sam Hart and team reimagined fast food classics into gourmet masterpieces, from a one-bite Crunchwrap Supreme to a final ode to The Varsity's "Frosted Orange." The attention to detail in the presentation and the knowledge of the sommeliers added layers of enjoyment. Highlights included a Sonic-inspired Cherry Limeade hamachi, McDonald's-inspired Filet o Fish, and a dessert course combining McDonald's Apple Pie with Dairy Queen's Blizzard. The intimate setting allowed for personal interaction with the chefs, making the meal not just a dinner, but an unforgettable experience. It's a culinary journey that's absolutely worth the splurge, showcasing the exciting food culture developing in Charlotte.”
“I thought it was great, the food was amazing and the dessert was amazing. The actors kept me entertained throughout the whole night. Great experience all around.”
“We had a great brunch at Haberdish. The biscuits and gravy, grits, and chicken and waffles hit the spot. It is the exact place you crave when you want a hearty brunch. The gin and juice was simple, yet refreshing. The patio was a great way to soak up the nice weather and atmosphere of Noda.”
“Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. Service was amazing. It was both of our first time and the menu and process were explained thoroughly. Excellent recommendations were made and we loved every course. Definitely recommend.”
“Seriously this place has the best Indian food hands down. The chicken tikki masala is so flavorful and has tons of chicken in it. I also get the chicken momo which is a huge portion and the somosa is a huge portion for a great price. Highly recommend!”
“Really cool spot. Lots of dry ice effects, and creative presentation. The food is really good, too (the most important part). I had the Cajun grilled oysters that were fantastic. So much flavor in one bite. And I have no idea what kind of sauce they give you with them, but it pairs really nicely with everything. I, also, had the Kings crab company dish with a decent portion of King crab, a small salad and some potatoe wedges. The crab was cooked perfect and tasted great with the garlic butter, which had diced garlic in it. A really nice pairing with the buttery crab meat. A bit over priced for what it was, however. Basic potato wedges, with no sauce, and a pretty small basic salad. For dessert I had the Godiva brownie with ice cream. Again, amazing brownie. Super soft and moist, and not so rich that you couldn't eat it all. However, the 4 bites of ice cream just isn't enough to go with the size of the brownie. Also, no arm towels or even wet naps after the oysters and crab. Overall a great meal and experience, though. Just a couple of kinks that I feel could be addressed.”

Peppervine
“Great place, first time trying it for my gfs bday. Its a nice fancy restaurant that is not too stuffy. The food and service are good and the prices some of the better ones around. Could use an extra item or 2 on the menu more kid/basic dude eating friendly and another dessert or two. We had a great time and it was a great find, we will certainly be back”
“Where do I even begin? Such a cool experience. We are not vegan, but wanted to try this adorable spot. Our table was ready for us right when we walked on decked out with books and coloring activities for my two young kids. Honestly, my son is a SUPER picky eater and tried AND liked everything he ate. It was so much fun watching him explore new flavors and foods with a huge smile on his face. As for my husband and I, we both loved our dishes, as well. The flavors were out of this world. If you haven't checked out this unique spot...you must! Jennifer is a ?.”

O-Ku
“I visited O-Ku in Charlotte for the first time on Monday night between 4pm-7pm. On Mondays and Wednesdays between 4pm-7pm all sushi is half off except for the kouyou and hot & heavy rolls. This deal is for dine-in only!I ordered the spicy tuna crunch, mermaid, and spider rolls.The spicy tuna crunch roll was meh and nothing special. Just a typical spicy tuna roll with tempura crumbs on top.The mermaid roll was spectacular and super tasty. I loved the tempura batter on the outside which gave it a nice crunch and all the ingredients inside paired really well together. 10/10 sushi roll.The spider roll was not like any spider rolls I have had in my lifetime. I really like the salmon on top of the spider roll. Overall, a really yummy and tasty roll. Also, a 10/10 and would 1000% recommend!.The ambiance was really nice and service was incredible. Although, I did not order a drink, the drink menu looked really good!They have other locations in other cities like Raleigh, NC, so go on their website and see if there is a O-ku near you! Give this restaurant a try!”

“In the search of a venue for my Alumni Fraternity 74th Anniversary celebration we toured The Hamilton Event Space. Immediately sold on the space once seeing all of the different room locations where we not only provide our guests with an experience they wouldn't forget but also "Wow Factors". The event Manager Alyssa Corbin went above and beyond with providing details, suggestions and answering all questions throughout the planning process. She made the planning process for 400+ guests easier than ever. She was also accommodating with our vision for the space. Thank you for everything Alyssa.The evening of the event we were greeted by Ben who was our main contact for the night of the event. Another above and beyond service as he was everywhere throughout the entire night ensuring everything was flowing. At one point I saw him walking thru the crowd to handle something and he hit a few dance moves with the crowd, this type of energy by staff is always appreciated and enjoyable. The entire staff was GREAT from Maddie, Whitney, Franklin, Myriah, Eli and Mariah. Their service was top notch as all guests were able to be served in a timely manner but overall a fun experience.This was my first time meeting the owner Tom. He was extremely pleasant and at one point we were trying to figure out our additional sound we wanted in the front of the venue. Tom came to me and gave a suggestion, after his suggestion he said "but you don't have to do it that way". You don't meet many owners who will give you options and during what could have been a panic moment Tom gave the best suggestion but also was trusting of the decision we were going to make (we went with his suggestion by the way).The food...let's just say the leftover food I had the opportunity to take home and definitely enjoyed the next day. The food options seemed endless from review of the menu and with what we selected we were not only satisfied but highly impressed. (The food is GOOD).The Hamilton Event Space gets a 10, two thumbs up and standing ovation. It's rare, especially after the pandemic to patronize a venue where everything is TOP TIER! To the entire Hamilton Team The Sigmas of Charlotte thank you all for allowing us to create a memorable, enjoyable and most importantly unforgettable event.”
“My car had broken down in front of this establishment and they were not difficult about the situation. My car sat there for 3days until I got it fixed, also their service is exceptional!! Above 5 ✨'s”
“Food was excellentNae, really stood out .. she made everyone in there feel at home. Very polite and professional. Ill drive out of my way next time to eat at this location because of her. Great experience.”
“Best experience I've had at a waffle house for sure. Came around 1pm for late breakfast and immediately sat down. Our server Melvin was awesome! He cleaned the table for us and immediately took our order and put it in. Within 5 minutes, our food was already on the table. I ordered the cheesesteak hash brown bowl with a side of grits, and it was DELICIOUS! It was very flavorful as expected, and the onions give it an extra kick. The waffles were tasty and coffee freshly brewed. I enjoy coming to this breakfast establishment for lunch or even dinner as they are not busy at all, and food plus service is always top-notch. Inside was actually clean and everyone there from the employees to other customers were amazing! This is located off independence blvd and plenty of parking spaces to choose from.”
“It has been a while since I stop by a Waffle House however today they definitely did not disappoint. The service, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe vibe was fantastic, keep up the great job team Waffle HouseParking: Nice parking lot”
“Came to restaurant about 5 am on a Friday morning. Opened the metal-glass door to the smell and sound of bacon and eggs sizzling on the grill. A pile of hash browns cooking in the left corner of grill.I love coming to this place! The food is good. The people are authentic. It gives me a relaxed feeling. I gives me permission to be myself.Kid-friendliness: My kids love coming here! I think they love the open kitchen and the juke box.”
“The lovely lady who takes payment in the morning during breakfast rush is always so nice and kind to us. She always puts a smile on our face! We are grateful to have someone who is always happy to see us”
“Nice morning for breakfast at the waffle house. Plenty of staff present. Food prepared in a timely manner. Customer service great, friendly and professional. Nice table window. Menu clean. It's not an immaculate place, but clean. Some areas of improvement is noted. Enjoy the setting, atmosphere and plenty of natural light. Offer senior menu under $6.Parking: Park in front of the restaurant. Limited parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids meal offered.”
“They were short of staff. There was one server taking orders and the register and 2 guys on the stove. They were amazing. Is she made me some dark rose coffee. Thank you darling! Under the constraints their hospitality was spectacular.”
“The food was hot and freshly prepared. And the and the presentation was great. It looked just like any picture of a quarter pounder that you would find in print.”
“You either love it or hate it. The food at this Waffle House is just as good as any other. I come here because it doesn’t get much traffic so the service is better than others.”
“Just opened one up here in Greensboro! This place is awesome and has good quality. The creamy & sweet taste are on point. Everything tastes good and goes for good prices. I'd definitely come here for Boba if you want a good deal! ??”
“Great establishment. Friendly staff, and food as to be expected. Management comped my meal without me even asking, because apparently it took too long (I didn’t even think it took that long). I’ll be coming ”

Papi Queso
“Indulging in a girls' night out at Papi Queso was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled in a vibrant atmosphere, this establishment seamlessly blends the warmth of a cozy eatery with the excitement of a bustling social hub. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the aroma of melted cheese and a warm welcome from their entire team- setting the stage for an amazing girls' night. The menu boasted an impressive array of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and their $8.00 Frozen Rosey (Friday Night Special) promising a feast for both the palate and the soul.For starters, we couldn't resist diving into their signature Garlic Aioli sauce a perfect pair for their Garlic Tots, it was the perfect opening act for what was to come.As we savored each bite of our chosen Texas Cheesesteak grilled cheese sandwich, it became evident that Papi Queso is not your average grilled cheese joint. The combination of premium ingredients and inventive flavor combinations elevated these classic comfort foods to a whole new level. To complement our meal, we sampled their $8.00 refreshing Frozen Rosey. What truly set Papi Queso apart, however, was the impeccable service and vibrant atmosphere. The staff exuded warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked up and sat at their bar. The lively ambiance, complete with the chatter of fellow diners, added to the overall sense of camaraderie and celebration. In conclusion, our girls' night out at Papi Queso was nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you're craving a gourmet grilled cheese fix or simply seeking a fun and vibrant dining destination, Papi Queso is sure to satisfy your cravings and leave you craving more.”

“Restaurant is beautifully clean. The owner was there to explain the menu thoroughly. The cheese and plant based options are nut free (at least cashew and walnut).”
“Hi Wire is a great place for a wide variety of FREE games. Ping pong, air hockey, soccer pool, connect 4. I always love a space with gender neutral bathrooms and wheel chair accessibility. The beer selection and calendar of events is very robust as well.An area of improvement is using gender neutral pronouns for the patrons. I noticed rainbow flags all over the space but I was misgendered by the bar tender which didn’t feel affirming. I gave the space 4 stars because I recommend using they pronouns if you don’t know how someone identifies.”
“It was my sister and I first time to curry gate 2 the service was very good and dk our server was awesome she helped us pick our spice levels and helped us with our choices of food the flavors and the aroma was so yummy I ate all I could and we got to bring home some too so glad we tried curry gate 2 yum and full also dk thank you for all your hard work”

Our table was ready for us right when we walked on decked out with books and coloring activities for my two young kids. Honestly, my son is a SUPER picky eater and tried AND liked everything he ate. It was so much fun watching him explore new flavors and foods with a huge smile on his face. As for my husband and I, we both loved our dishes, as well. The flavors were out of this world. If you haven't checked out this unique spot...you must! Jennifer is a ?.”
“I visited O-Ku in Charlotte for the first time on Monday night between 4pm-7pm. On Mondays and Wednesdays between 4pm-7pm all sushi is half off except for the kouyou and hot & heavy rolls. This deal is for dine-in only!I ordered the spicy tuna crunch, mermaid, and spider rolls.The spicy tuna crunch roll was meh and nothing special. Just a typical spicy tuna roll with tempura crumbs on top.The mermaid roll was spectacular and super tasty. I loved the tempura batter on the outside which gave it a nice crunch and all the ingredients inside paired really well together. 10/10 sushi roll.The spider roll was not like any spider rolls I have had in my lifetime. I really like the salmon on top of the spider roll. Overall, a really yummy and tasty roll. Also, a 10/10 and would 1000% recommend!.The ambiance was really nice and service was incredible. Although, I did not order a drink, the drink menu looked really good!They have other locations in other cities like Raleigh, NC, so go on their website and see if there is a O-ku near you! Give this restaurant a try!”
“The croissants were incredible. We had the strawberry and whipped cream croissant and the chocolate croissant. Both were exceptional! Fun sitting area and super friendly staff!”
“Such a fun experience! Stopped with a friend—the staff were so kind and the menu was very creative with some delicious and unexpected blends of flavor! Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.”
“I come here to eat when I’m sad. When I’m happy. When I’m excited or anxious. When I’m done with a workout. I come here when I’m fasting. I love their wings. I will place an order to go with me to my ”
“Many cool places to eat at in Downtown Charlotte, NC. This little pizza place was perfect. Crowd was just us during a weekday, near lunchtime. Perfect place to unwind and have a meal with our family. We really enjoyed ourselves. Food was excellent, service was efficient and timely, atmosphere was beautiful.”
“Visiting NC with my girlfriend, we got the chicken Alfredo sub, a grilled chicken avacado wrap & fries for $20 out the door. Amazing food and great service. 5 ”
“It's such a beautiful place! From the time we walked in the door, we saw this beautiful chandelier. Immediately, we were greeted and taken to our seat. The customer service was top tier, and our waitress was amazing. She answered all of our questions and a patient as we talked about 20 minis before we were ready to order. I had the HEAVENLY CRÊPE and it was lovely. Airy ,flavorful and filling, added a little extra salt, but that's because I enforce the taste of salt. The salad dressing was delightful. The way she explained them, I ordered 3! I can't remember the names, but 2 out of the 3 hit the spot.”
“We've been coming here religiously ever since we moved to Charlotte, and it's the first place we suggest when we have people visit. I've never had a bad meal here. The food is always delicious, and the Well-Fed platter is one of the best deals in town. The only complaint I have is that they are missing a southern staple: fried okra. That would make it an 11/10.”
“The service was amazing, our server recommended some really yummy options. The food was chef’s kiss. I recommend anyone to try the beef empatacos omg so yummy! I had the Brazilian lemonade mocktail as well sooo good! This was my first time trying Venezuelan food & I will definitely be back a lot of times in the near future!! Thank you Los Chamos for a wonderful first experience <3”

“If you're from Southern California, this is Tommy Burger, but better. If you're not from California, this is probably the best burger you'll have in your life.Kid-friendliness: There are family days on Saturday!”
“I absolutely love thus location and restaurant, they speak with respect/ manners and will guarantee that your food will be hot. Hence why you wait maybe 5mins for your food, however it is worth the wait I promise you ??Parking: I want to say Culver's has a total of 30 parking spots, however it's other establishments near. So if no place in they lot to park it's more room around (close by) their restaurant .Wheelchair accessibility: The whole entrance/exit area's are like a ramp, no stairs at all around. I don't recall seeing any steps anyhow. ? ??♂️”
“It was my first visit to Tacos 4 Life. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. These were some of the best tacos I've had. I ordered the Hawaiian shrimp and Korean BBQ steak tacos. They were hot and fresh. I can't wait to go again.”
“Wow. First off service was very southern and hospitable. The waitress made an effort to check in and give suggestions as it was out first time. She even went over the different sauces that were on the table! The food was great as well. Our appetizer was the chicarrons and they were still sizzlings, so extra pints on that. We got a meat bbq platter and the salmon meal. Both had their fare share of salt but I enjoyed the experience of North Carolina bbq. The aesthetic of the restaurant also makes this place memorable. You have the history in the building and nice spot in the center of town.”
“If You Love Nostalgia, This Place Will Take You Way Back To The Late 50's Into The Early 60's.Not Only Is It Nostalgic, The Food Is Worth The Stop. Their Onion Rings Are Some, If Not The Very Best In Charlotte! Great Place To Grab A Bite And Reminisce About How a Things Used To Be.They Serve A Large Variety Of Meals And Sandwiches. 1/4 Of A Chicken, Fried Chicken, Trout Dinners, Hamburger Steak, Chicken Salad, and Multiple Desserts. You Really Can't Go Wrong. ✌️?”
“Always delicious coffee & staff super friendly!Kid-friendliness: Play area for kids & adults! Kids yoga is awesome as well & kids love the teacher Miss Ashley”
“Gem of a restaurant as Lindsey and staff took care of us as regulars which this place has plenty of regardless it was our first visit. The coffee is spot on excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. Spotless for a busy place. Entertainment of planes landing within 20 seconds of seeing them from the windows. Reasonable prices and excellent food. Great find for us to take granddaughter.”
“We will be coming back. The ladies running this place are really nice. A lot of coffee and pastry options. I got a black coffee and my husband got a cappuccino and both tasted good.”
“Great service.. great food.. we got the combo x2. The turkey is better than the chicken. Both good but turkey was just juicier. Ribs had that competition "bite-pull". Brisket was soft and flavorful. Arnold Palmer was perfect. We had a great lunch-date experience. Cheese biscuits were great. Definitely got an extra basket to go.”
“Very friendly staff, JD greeted me when I came inside, made sure I got my caribou perks and made me a delicious caramel and maple iced latte! Nice seating inside with a cute fireplace.”
“Never been here before and it was the best. Tried 4 different kinds and loved them all. The potatoes soup was also very good. I will definitely go back. The ladies working there in front were also very kind and informative. Love the little cookies also. Visited 3/4/23?Vegetarian options: Mostly salads”
“Best Brazilian ?? Restaurant/ Bakery / Authentic Brazilian Food that will make you come back for more. Lívia took such good care of us and even when we showed up 10min before closing, she welcomed us in and fried the Best Coxinhas Ever!”
“What an excellent decision! We enjoyed a delightful date night at this place with a group of 14. Our server handled our large party with ease and made no errors. The staff coordinated seamlessly, ensuring prompt service with piping hot and fresh dishes. The Thai tea was exceptionally deliciou!!!”
“Best breakfast I've ever had! I ordered the Honduran breakfast. Fresh avocado, delicious steak, fresh creme, delicious fried plantains. Jissel Guifarro was a great waitress! Everyone was friendly. Very authentic food.”
“I was searching for a local coffee shop and found this place. I’ve been boycotting the larger coffee chains and trying to strictly buy local. There was a little confused and didn’t realize it was inside Social Status but glad I went in a asked. The lovely barista recommended the Southern Gentle man and it DID NOT disappoint. It was exactly what I was looking for. They have great working space and everyone was friendly. Will definitely be back”

300 East
“Really, really solid option especially during Savor. For $50/person, you get a three course meal. And these aren’t skimpy portions either like what some restaurants do during Queens Feast. These are proper, regular sized dishes.Every restaurant can choose how they want to approach Savor. I liked how 300 set up their menu with one old trustee option (current menu) and one new option for each course. Between my partner and I, we were able to try everything. Here’s our take:StartersBaked Goat Cheese (old trustee): I see why this is a fan favorite. The cheese is baked with good olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. Comes with a baguette, but I preferred dipping my biscuit instead (more on that below).Biscuit Flight (new item): Comes with three biscuits!! As well as three savory dips that are made in house. The dips were okay but as aforementioned using the goat cheese like a spread was the move for me.MainsSesame Salmon (old trustee): I actually make a dish similar to this at home, so it didn’t blow my mind but my partner liked it well enough.Roasted Half Chicken (new item): Had a nice roasted, crispy skin. Came with a garlic jus gravy and veggies. If you are carbed out from the apps, this is a good option. Again, simple but good.DessertIce Cream Sandwich (old trustee): If I could handle my caffeine after 12pm, I would have definitely eaten more of this. The espresso ice cream paired so well with the maple oatmeal cookie. Glad to know it’s a regular on the menu so I can come back and get it for an early lunch.Cheesecake (new item): Get the ice cream sandwich.”
“The atmosphere and aesthetic was on point and really felt like the prohibition era speakeasy.Our server was super friendly and kind too.The food was amazing, incredibly flavorful and filling. Personal favorite had to be the candied jalapeño bacon ?”
“Love Enat! They have gluten free injera. I had the vegetarian platter and everything was delicious. The servings are not as plentiful as you typically get at an Ethiopian restaurant, but it’s prepared very nicely. It’s the best I’ve had in Charlotte so far! Optimist Hall is all order at the counter, but plenty of seating.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free injera, plenty of vegan options.”

“Chef Robin is an artist and it shows he cares deeply about each of his dishes. Just as good if not better than many similarly priced omakase places in New York. It’s a splurge but definitely one I’ll be doing ”
“Great place to dine out I thought there would be a few more steak cut options but still great! Love the family style sides, a great twist on a simple way to eat.”
“We went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The service at the bar before our reservation was impeccable. The food and atmosphere was good. Our waiter had no sense of humor and messed up two of our four orders. Then the food wasn't cooked to the right temperature. So we had to send two of our plates back. It was good and I would go back but probably just eat at the bar.”
“My husband and I celebrated my 30th birthday and had a wonderful experience. We made reservations and the time was honored by staff. I waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Now to the food.. everything that we stuffed, yes stuffed lol, in our mouths was delicious and flavorful. 5’s across the board.”
“One of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. The food is delicious, wine is on point, and the staff is amazing. Can't think of a better place to celebrate a special occasion.”
“This Chex location has the best bone in wings, hands down, from my experience at 3 other local locations. The girl at the counter was also very patient and friendly even though our order was large. I also loved the play area for my 5 year old while we waited for our takeout. He loved it too ?”
“If you’re looking for quality sashimi and nigiri BAKU is it! My favorite is the rosemary otoro and salmon belly nigiri! My friends and I always enjoy our time there. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. They also always have new sakes available which makes our experience unique every time! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure!”
“Amazing atmosphere! The food is excellent. I was stationed in South Korea for 3 years, and trying to find good Korean food in the US is difficult, but MOA did not disappoint.”
“Wife and I stayed at the grand bohemian and had dinner at Mico. Beautiful restaurant. Food was amazing. I had the wagyu filet with the Parmesan fries. Filet was perfectly cooked and delicious. My wife had the New York strip with the green beans. Her steak was perfectly cooked. We want to call out our waitress Mirtha. Mirtha took care of us and provided one of the best service we have had in a while. Thank you! We will definitely come back again.”
“The team at Your Farms Your Table helped me provide an amazing meal to my brother and sister-in-law with a newborn baby! I highly recommend them for both their amazing food and extraordinary hospitality!”
“The view of downtown was excellent. The service was fantastic. The food in my opinion was just okay. I had the prime rib, Brussel sprouts, creamed spinach and lobster mash potatoes. Pricing is around the average for an upper scale Steakhouse.”
“Excellent in every way. Great service, food, atmosphere. I had the Bourbon filet mignon, which was served with fingerling potatoes and carrots. For starters, just their bread and butter alone was great, but also had the Charlotte salad. For dessert, we got the bananas foster. I had a chocolate martini, and loved it so much - I got 2. Everything was seasoned properly, had depth of flavor (surprising and unique), used spices and herbs properly, and felt like a real treat. Each bite was perfect and balanced and cooked how i ordered it. I'm dying to go back! I had a bite of my husband's lamb chop with mushroom risotto, and that was phenomenal as well.”
“The chicken parmesan was crispy and the sauce had a lot of flavor. The crab cake, thick cut bacon, and prosciutto appetizers were a great way to warm up our appetites. The wine paired well with the steak and the pasta. Our server was extremely helpful. The tiramisu with a glass of McCallan 18yr was divine.”
“04/11/2024 We dined here for our 10 Year Anniversary, Everything was excellent! They even had us a card for our special occasion, they even called us the next day to make sure we had an excellent experience with them!”
“Good music, nice ambientLots of people. The only thing ,you have to track the amount of drinks sometimes they overcharged. And there is only 2 bathrooms. I don't like the part that I have to wait a minute to used the bathroom”
“Great place to dine out I thought there would be a few more steak cut options but still great! Love the family style sides, a great twist on a simple way to eat.”

“Loved it! We've visited other Rare Root's concepts often but this was our first time at Chapter 6. Food was outstanding, pacing was perfect, relaxed atmosphere, and a great place to linger and watch the world go by. We will be back...!”
“I have travelled to Charlotte twice in the last 2 years for work, and I always make a point to stop here to eat. Everything I've had has been amazing, drinks and food included. Potatoes au gratin are phenomenal, short ribs are delicious. It's dark inside, but otherwise fun with lots of seating and 2 floors. Would 10/10 recommend!”

“Quite literally the best vibe in Charlotte.Vegetarian options: MuffinzParking: Open parking spots for the community.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat here.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is open for all.”
“Ordered take out. Long time customers. Great food. New app updated from old one. Hot mess. . Changed log in 3 times. Wouldn't let me order as a rewards member. No pints on bottom of scan.”
“The food was impressive! The Hawaiian French Toast sent me to another dimension. Our server, Zoraida, was so attentive and made my experience 100x better. I’m definitely coming back.”
“Absolutely love this place! Doesn't matter the time of day, it's the perfect spot. I've been there for coffee, the empanadas, drinks upstairs, they have it all. It's a great spot to bring some work or to just socialize and they are nestled right in the heart of Plaza Midwood. They also have great outdoor patio spaces!”
“I came across this breakfast restaurant while searching for a place that serves delicious, home-style breakfast. I am delighted that I decided to dine at this establishment; the food is reminiscent of my great grandmother's cooking. The restaurant is quite crowded, but the staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting this establishment for a delightful breakfast experience. Although it may not be the most luxurious or well-known place, the quality of the food is truly remarkable.”
“This is a GREAT arcade. They use tokens, only 2 tokens (0.50) per game. Lots of fun imported games, plus rarer pinball machines including Labyrinth, The Big Lebowski and Pulp Fiction. Plus a GIANT Game Boy that is a MUST see! Only drawback: Limited parking. Be prepared to walk a block or so if you get there during busy times.”
“Great service, great food, great atmosphere, but not fun parking experience. I think they have a lot in the back, but we just parked on the street. It was such a beautiful night and they had the windows open. Waitress made sure our drinks were never empty.”
“A dear friend brought us a meal with some of this sourdough bread and it was the best bread I have had in a long time. The crunch of the outside mixed with the airiness and softness of the inside was amazing. We have this on our list of places to go!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free with sourdough bread”
“Went for work lunch. Food was ready quickly and we all enjoyed the food. It is real easy...tenders or sliders. They were both great and we decided it would join the rotation. Only issue is the music is a little loud.”
“I can’t believe how good this place was. The vibe, the welcoming and smiling staff, the food … all totally on point. The coffees- we tried hot and cold- were each THE BEST we’ve had in Charlotte…no contest. No paper cups here if you eat in… coffee only as it should be served: in real mugs on saucers with decorative art in the foam that holds while you drink it. The bahn mi sandwich was light and tasty like it should be- loved the bulgogi one. The bread was beyond anything I’ve found locally. I can’t say enough to express my delight with this place… a hidden gem in Matthews that you NEED to experience!!?”
“Grew up in NJ eating Geno D’s amazing food, and so happy to have them here again in NC! You will not be disappointed with Geno and Gena’s service or amazing pizza - strongly recommend the Grandma Pizza, it’s a classic. Can’t wait to come back. ♥️”
“I’m honestly surprised this place wasn’t as packed as other places in charlotte because it’s a true gem! The donuts are unique and delicious. The brioche donuts aren’t overly sweet but they are just perfect. And the people were kind, patient and you could tell they took pride in the place and product, and they should it’s unique and delicious. 10/10 the best donuts in charlotte run don’t walk! The brown butter, the chocolate honeycomb, the raspberry glazed were all stellar. Can’t wait to try other flavors as well!”
“A delightful find (thanks Google)! Cute place with good service and food. We enjoyed the fried chicken and meatloaf! Both were delicious!! If we are back in the area, we'll definitely go back to try something else.”
“Me and my husband happened to find this lil place on our way to the mountains. We both got americanos amd they where delicious! This place is small, and has a lovely atmosphere. I love that it's so tiny it encourages conversation. We really enjoyed it.”
“Love stopping in here for a sweet treat or savory snack. They always have so many options all at great prices considering they're all homemade. Always look forward to stopping in here and seeing what they have to choose from. Can't wait to go back soon.”
“Man when I say the vibe is there the mimosa hit!! The employees hit everything hit and lit!! Would come back 100x more Me Dede and Jennifer really appreciate yall ??”

Counter-
“Dining at Counter- was a transformative experience, blending nostalgia with culinary innovation across a 10-course meal that left me in awe. Chef Sam Hart and team reimagined fast food classics into gourmet masterpieces, from a one-bite Crunchwrap Supreme to a final ode to The Varsity's "Frosted Orange." The attention to detail in the presentation and the knowledge of the sommeliers added layers of enjoyment. Highlights included a Sonic-inspired Cherry Limeade hamachi, McDonald's-inspired Filet o Fish, and a dessert course combining McDonald's Apple Pie with Dairy Queen's Blizzard. The intimate setting allowed for personal interaction with the chefs, making the meal not just a dinner, but an unforgettable experience. It's a culinary journey that's absolutely worth the splurge, showcasing the exciting food culture developing in Charlotte.”
“We went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The service at the bar before our reservation was impeccable. The food and atmosphere was good. Our waiter had no sense of humor and messed up two of our four orders. Then the food wasn't cooked to the right temperature. So we had to send two of our plates back. It was good and I would go back but probably just eat at the bar.”
“Had an excellent meal here with a co-worker. Great relaxed upscale atmosphere for friends family or work.Our server Julia pointed us in a targeted direction which meant I tried the Carolina Rainbow trout which was outstanding down to the herb aioli which was beyond good and the kale salad perfectly dressed. We also got the grilled artichokes -they tasted yum - and my friend got the Danish baby back ribs which literally fell off the bone. Our drinks were a generous and tasty pour and we had excellent cappuccino for our dessert- but what the other tables got looked divine- we just are trying to eat a little healthier so skipped it tonight”
“Small, hard to get reservations... But so worth it. Impeccable service, and fresh options for meals since all ingredients are seasonal. Make your reservation now!”

Dressler's
“We went during the Savor Charlotte festival and got to try small versions of a lot of menu favorites plus some special items. The food was absolutely delicious. The calamari, lamb, and short rib were perfect.We were tucked in what felt like a back corner, which I think affected how attentive our server was, but it gave us a nice view of the Charlotte skyline.Parking: Free parking in the garage across the street, can get busy but there are always spaces available.”
“The food was delicious! The atmosphere very fun with dancing and live music. Also Jonathan was amazing! Very attentive and helpful with the menu. We will be back!”
“My wife and I had a fantastic dinner experience at 131 Main! The atmosphere is perfect for upscale casual dining - inviting and stylish. Our server, Kellie, was top-notch. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our experience was great.The food came out incredibly fast, in about 10 minutes, and everything was piping hot. We could tell the ingredients were fresh by the taste and perfect seasoning. I had the slow roasted chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken itself was juicy and flavorful, and the smashed potatoes were a perfect complement. My wife ordered the crabcakes, and they were loaded with succulent crabmeat. The sauce was also amazing!We highly recommend 131 Main and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.”

“Idlewild was too busy so our party of 13 came here. And it was great!! ??? It wasn't busy at all. We played games with our friends and was just great. The music was a tiny bit too loud but besides that, A great place!”
“I love their seafood platter on their rooftop patio! I like getting the platter because I get to enjoy a few different popular dishes all in one. Their bar tenders are super friendly and makes you feel so welcome even if you are dining solo that day!”
“Very good BBQ. The brisket was tender and juicy. The greens were a little too spicy for me but still delicious. The hush puppies were good too. The brunt ends were amazing. The pickles were spicy too but good. I definitely recommend this place if your nor from Charlotte NC.”
“Brittany was amazing!! Wonderful service and great wine suggestions. Food was good but the harvest salad had waaayyyyyy too many nuts and cranberries. Other than that I will definitely be back.”
“My husband and I celebrated my 30th birthday and had a wonderful experience. We made reservations and the time was honored by staff. I waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Now to the food.. everything that we stuffed, yes stuffed lol, in our mouths was delicious and flavorful. 5’s across the board.”
“There was a group of teens in that don’t know manners but the employees were funny and the food was great I got the #2 and swear ever since I’ve moved to the south the food just slaps so much better!”
“Easter brunch with their seasonal menu. Chips & quacamole ✔️ Smokehouse platter with beef brisket & BBQ rotisserie chicken; brisket was good?but the chicken was just just so-so. Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas; seafood tasted fresh. Ginger's Best Friend; ok but next time think I'd try the Botanical Mule. Service was good.”

Noble Smoke
“We visited twice prior to using facility last night for an event. Everything was perfect. Appetizers of fried broccoli, toast points with pimento cheese were delicious. The event space was nearly perfect. The only small issue we had was acoustics in the meeting room. Service was very good and timely. Brian the bartender was awesome and get the wine glasses full. I highly recommend Noble Smoke for the food and service.”
“I went there for the 1 year Anniversary Celebration! The food was Great!!! Chef Dumar is the Best and the Celebration was Wonderful! I highly recommend that you come and enjoy their Great Food and Smoothies!!!!!”

“Hannah was our server. She was spectacular. She greeted us immediately ensure we had time to decide and our meal was not rushed. We were surprised at the end with their cannoli cake for a birthday at our table. Food was delicious. While we waited we met Tay at the bar. Very friendly. Gave a great wine ”
“The best Haitian cuisine! The service I received was honestly 10/10. Natasha made me feel right at home. The food was cooked to perfection and I couldn’t be more satisfied.”
“This place is absolutely phenomenal. Honestly some of the best service I have experienced in a long time. Kelly was our waitress, shout out to her! The chicken pad thai was fantastic and the shrimp dumplings were also incredible! Will absolutely be back!”
“Ordered the meatball appetizer. It was large enough to share - about the size of a baseball. Also, pizza and radiatore pasta with meat sauce. The food was decent but not exceptional. The best part was the warm bread with chili oil dip served when we sat down.”
“Cute atmosphere, parking nearby but also walkable. Service was pretty good. Food was delicious, we enjoyed the variety of vegan and gluten free options. Note this is more of what I consider a "comfort food" type of vegan where the menu was more veggies/mushrooms rather than tofu/seitan. Drink list had something for everyone.Bottom line - would definitely recommend to check out!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and they indicate nut free options as well”
“What an outstanding dining experience! My lovely date and I were immediately taken with the ambiance, as soon as we walked in. The feeling of a well-run establishment was palpable. Bradley was just awesome, took great care of us, and made special note of my date's dietary restrictions and made accommodations accordingly. The food was amazing! The lamb shank dish instantly made this restaurant our new favorite in Charlotte. The green curry mussels were absolutely the best I've ever had (and I'm not a fan of any bivalve mollusk except scallops). Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a wonderful experience.”
“Chef Robin is an artist and it shows he cares deeply about each of his dishes. Just as good if not better than many similarly priced omakase places in New York. It’s a splurge but definitely one I’ll be doing ”
“We've been here a bunch and keep coming back. FOOD: All yum! Pay the extra $4 for fresh pasta. Apps: The Prosciutto and Burrata is a yum appetizer. We also like the little dish of beans that come with the complimentary bread. You get one complimentary refill of bread, then they charge you. Entrees: Our favorite dish is the Buttara. Amatriciana is another favorite of mine. Hubs also likes Penne Alla Vodka with Shrimp. My dad likes the Chicken Parmesan (note it doesn't come with pasta, thats another ~$9 for a side of (out of the box) pasta). There is no kids menu, they can sell you a "kids pasta" which is sauce and out of the box noodles. Drinks: Everything is good. Dessert: Save a few bucks by getting Duck Donuts next door or TCBY across the parking lot.”
“We have been here a number of times and have never been disappointed. The food is constantly good and so is the service. We brought visitors from out of town and they loved it. We usually do a number of tapas plates and then a main course. There is a nice selection of deserts as well. We recommend Miro and am sure you will enjoy it too.”
“Thank you Chima for a pleasant experience on my birthday. Our waitress Brittany did such a great job receiving us and attending our table. The food was delicious, I've gone to many brazilian steakhouses and the meat was yummy.”

Pizza Baby
“This was our first visit and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed it. We created our pizza with sausage,pepperoni and onions...DELICIOUS we also had the garlic parm wings which were made perfectly...so good I forgot to take a picture. All ingredients are fresh and your pizza is made to order. ...their service is kinda slow but it's worth the wait.”
“What a beautiful restaurant! The atmosphere was gorgeous. Our family loved our meal there while we were on vacation-everything was delicious. Can't wait to visit another one!”
“I went with a group tonight. The service was excellent and the food came out quickly. I had hanger steak which if you are lucky you will find in a grocery store but most likely you will not. It is a tender piece that is quite delicious. They had a nice light sauce with it. I shared brussel sprouts with a friend. They were roasted and had a crunchy flavorful topping. Roosters always delivers in my experience consistently excellent food. I ordered for takeout a velvet cake with chocolate mousse. It was yummy. It looked besutiful. How can you lose with sugar and chocolate? We had a great experience and will be back!”
“Tucked away spot that really is a gem..The place just feels like good energy.Beertender was super cool. Had a nice chat and he pointed me in the direction of some other must try breweries while I was in town..Spacious with a cool rustic yet modern warehouse type of feel. Small poured a handful of their IPAs and was not disappointed. Everything was clean, balanced, delicious.. I'm a fan.Didn't ask the story behind the name.. Google here I come.”

Ever Andalo
“Amazing! The food was truly incredible. I highly recommend the Sunny Cavatelli or Ricotta Gnocchi. I only gave service a 4 instead of a 5 because our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful, but didn’t really check on us and we had to ask for more water.”
“Our first visit and it was well worth it!! We made a reservation not knowing if it was going to be busy. Glad we did as it was packed. We waited about 5 minutes for our table. We later found out that there was party that had over 20 people and that out them a bit behind. We were seated and promptly greeted by our server, Grayson. He was pleasant and cordial. We made our meal choices from an excellent offering. Our soups arrived quickly and they were delicious. Our entrees took a bit longer. Gave them a little leeway in this as I am sure the kitchen was a bit backed up when 20+ orders came in at once! When the food arrived, it was well worthy the wait. Both meals were excellent. The pasta was on point. I was told it was made on site. The chicken parmesan was tender and was not overly breaded.The service was great. Grayson kept our glasses full and was attentive. The food was delicious. The restaurant had a phenomenal atmosphere. Go here if you are looking for the next best thing to going to Italy for a meal!!”
“We are located in between Greco Fresh Grille in Steele Creek and The Greek Grill in Fort Mill. They both have identical menus, but they separated out into two restaurants, with Greco having more locations around the Charlotte area. We finally tried Greco recently, so I have to compare the two.What we got:Lamb Gyro with OPA Fries (lemon oregano and feta) - the lamb meat was a little more greasy here than at Greek Grill, but still good flavor. The fries are also great.Pastitsio - Greek lasagna served with a Greek salad. This lasagna is different in that it is not alternating layers like a traditional lasagna, but instead layers of noodles at the bottom, followed by a thick layer of meat sauce, and a top layer of bachemal/cheese sauce. To compare to the Greek Grill - it was not executed properly here. I do not know if it had been sitting out or improperly prepared from the start, but the bottom layer of noodles were crispy/crunchy and not pleasant. Luckily, since it has layers of noodles, I could avoid the bottom layer to enjoy the rest of it. Definitely recommend this if it is executed properly as the flavor is good. The Greek salad was great!Service was okay, just there to take your order, not that friendly we are happy to have you here vibe.Overall a good spot for Greek Food, but you will find us going to Greek Grill in Fort Mill more just to have better execution and service.”

“Highly recommend this place! The food was so delicious and it's presentation was beautiful! Awesome atmosphere and music, perfect for an intimate dinner or chilling with friends. Bathrooms are very clean, roomy, and loved the scented candle! Easy to find parking too! Our server Greg was exceptional, very attentive!”
“Dietary restrictions: I have Celiac and never feel safe going out to eat. Like ever! This place is the real deal. They understand the disease restrictions and take all the precautions just like the owner listed on their website. I appreciate the variety. Normally, when I get a " GF menu," it's 3 or 4 items, and many times are salad like options.The rest of my family enjoyed their food as well. Yahni (I know I'm spelling her name wrong, and I'm so sorry) was wonderful. It's great to still be able to find good restaurants with quality service. Thank you, Burtons!!”
“Food and service was wonderful. Had a mishap with my drink . Ok I tipped it over on table 1st sip. Was cleaned up in minutes and without skipping a beat. Our server David was the best. He was the one who made my drink because I was not sure what i wanted. Just asked what I liked. We were celebrating our anniversary and they told us Happy Anniversary as soon as we walked in . Great customer service .”
“Cannot say how much I love this place! I've never eaten anything here that was less than Stellar. Great food, great staff, great location!Dietary restrictions: Have options for gluten free, etc.”
“Late Night/Early morning after the club sustenance!! We are not from the area and only came into Charlotte for an evening event. We did however pre research some local wings spots incase we were hungry after all the dancing. Chex happened to be only 5 minutes from where we were and with a good rating we chose to give them a try. We arrived 45 minutes before closing and boy were they busy!! (That’s a good thing) Phone orders were coming in non stop all the way up to closing and people were walking in every 3 minutes.My girl friend and I ordered a 20 count wings with lemon pepper (dry) and honey hot sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly nice crunch factor and the ranch was delicious. The honey hot was let’s call it lip puckering in the lip filler kind of way..lol but still a great taste and the dry lemon pepper was very overpowering with how much seasoning was on each wing. Overall the food was still enjoyed.”
“We got here early but it became PACKED and extremely loud pretty quickly. We sat outside and it was lovely but I was surprised at how loud it got outside.The food was all incredible and I would recommend anything in there is probably going to be amazing. We got the asparagus, shrimp, whipped sheep cheese, Brussels sprouts, chicken thigh (it is only 1), patatas bravas, and chocolate cake. The cake was flourless so it was more so almost a pudding and kind of disappointing (the only thing that was not very good). The Guns & Roses sangria was very yummy too but very strong!The service was subpar. Our server barely made their way over to us and there were multiple times throughout the night that I saw other tables serving themselves from the servers station because of how little they came by. If not for the poor service I would have given them higher stars.”
“Caught up with some old friends today at TCF. Lunch was exceptional, as always, but today's star of the meal was Ashley, our server. She was the perfect amount of friendly and attentive. Her smile will brighten up the lowest of days.Definitely ask for her section if you can. I promise she is worth it.”
“We had a party of 5 at the Artisan’s Palette last night and had a fantastic experience. We were seated right away and, despite an extremely busy dining room, our server came to our table right away and had our drinks to the table before we knew it. The margarita, wines, and mocktails were all so delicious. Dinner was top notch. We started with the seasonal kalettes and followed with burrata salad (loved this), wine-poached pear salad, shrimp and artichoke salad, olive tapenade (a personal favorite), skillet spoonbread, butternut squash and curried pear soup (smooth and a little spicy), the NY strip and the lamb shank vindaloo. All amazing dishes. The chef visited our table at least three times and was delightful. You can tell that her heart and soul goes into this place and its dishes. We finished with a tour of the art gallery and the back garden area. I can’t wait to go back. THANK YOU, Artisan’s Palette!”

Mariposa
“Not just the best restaurant in Charlotte, but they best food I've ever had. One word: focaccia. You have to get the focaccia. It is so good. This large shareables style restaurant is great with friends, clients, large parties, or even just a couple. When someone new comes to the city, I have to take out clients, or I want a nice date night, I book Mariposa.”

“Delicious, the dishes are finger-licking good. A true taste of Louisiana in Charlotte.Very exquisite dining, from appetizers to main course and dessert hands down a must visit if you like/love seafood and Cajun Cuisine.”
“I really like this place, they have a lot of healthy food options at affordable prices. The restaurant is really cute inside and has a unique vibe. Their food is always fresh and everything I’ve had has been made from scratchDietary restrictions: I Have to avoid preservatives, Processed food and sugars or I get sickParking: I’ve never had trouble finding a place to park”
“Jimmy & Kammy are amazing! Walked in immediately took my order only to be followed up with the other asking me what I needed. This was two nights in a row! Only reason I didn’t go a third was I showed up after closing. Extremely customer focused individuals who care about the people at their bar. Give them a raise those two are elite!”

“Wouldn’t really go here for food, they just have small bites but the wine and service is unbeatable. Always playing good music and the staff rock. They’ve helped me pick bottles for events and are always attentive.”

“What a lovely experience we had here. We celebrated our anniversary and from the start they went out of their way to make us feel special. We got a little card from the restaurant wishing us a happy anniversary. We decided to get a bottle of wine, and the Sommelier was in the house that night and came over and extensively talked to us about the wine choices, and ended up helping us choose such a delicious bottle. It was so fun to be able to use that service.The food was so incredible. For start, we got the roasted oysters (absolutely delicious) and the 7 layer salad (crisp and refreshing, but could have used a little bit more dressing but still very yummy). For our meal, we got the pork shank that was on special and the poulet rouge. Our sides were the Mac and Cheese, mushroom risotto, and the Brussels. Everything was soooo incredible! The sauce on the chicken was delicious, the Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, the pork shank was so rich and had a delicious dark gravy on it. We stuffed ourselves so full and savored every single bite. For dessert we got the mud pie and they also brought out some cute little macarons for our anniversary. Delicious as well!The service was incredible and we never had to wait for anything. The food came quickly and they were always on top of changing our plates and silverware. Our water cups were always full and we got continuous top offs of our wine. Everyone was extremely nice. It was just so lovely.Highly recommend if you want a fancy night out. I truly feel that it was well worth the money. Thanks again!”
“One of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. The food is delicious, wine is on point, and the staff is amazing. Can't think of a better place to celebrate a special occasion.”
“My coworkers & I were staying at a hotel next door for a training & ate here for dinner after a long day of driving. We ordered a few rounds of drinks, all of which were delicious. For dinner I got the meal of the day it was amazing!! My coworker got the shrimp & grits and fell in love. Yummy southern gulf food it’s in the name ?♀️?”
“My family and I visited for the first time, and this place did not disappoint! The grits and chicken sausage were amazing. The upside-down pineapple pancakes were delicious as well. The food was so delicious that we forgot to take pictures. Oh well just know that it's oh so delicious”
“Carolina Steel Sports Bar offers a vibrant atmosphere with ample seating and a diverse menu. The sports-themed decor adds to the energetic ambiance, perfect for game nights or casual hangouts with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience. Whether you're grabbing a drink at the bar or enjoying a meal with family, Carolina Steel Sports Bar provides a comfortable setting to unwind and enjoy great food.”
“I ordered the meatballs for an appetizer which were a little too tough for my liking. Did not break apart easily.For my main dish I ordered the orecchiette which were phenomenal (cooked al dente). The crushed red pepper was extremely spicy, the server warned me but I thought I was tough. The ambience is intimate so I agree coming alone is not ideal but that doesn’t bother me.”

Osteria LuCa
“Our 2nd time visiting, and definitely not the last, as our daughter in particular LOVES their pizza. Since True Crafted Pizza at Stonecrest closed in 2023, this is the closest we’ve found.The outside dining doesn’t have much atmosphere, but it was a lovely spring evening in Charlotte, so very pleasant. Our waiter (feel bad that I forgot his name) was wonderful - just the right amount of attention without overdoing it.The braised short rip pizza was very good; my only quibble with it, was the short rib was a little dry. Still delicious, though. The Margherita pizza is perfect, and the Eggplant Parmagiana (not pictured) with spaghetti was good 1 and a lot of food!My wife thought the tiramisu was wonderful, our girls polished off the hot chocolate chip brownie, and their vanilla/chocolate/honey bourbon tickled my taste buds just like a real Italian gelato.”
“This Chex location has the best bone in wings, hands down, from my experience at 3 other local locations. The girl at the counter was also very patient and friendly even though our order was large. I also loved the play area for my 5 year old while we waited for our takeout. He loved it too ?”

BAKU
“If you’re looking for quality sashimi and nigiri BAKU is it! My favorite is the rosemary otoro and salmon belly nigiri! My friends and I always enjoy our time there. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. They also always have new sakes available which makes our experience unique every time! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure!”
“This is my favorite seafood spot, the combo A is my go to. 1lb of shrimp and one pond of crab, the juicy flavor is everyyyything! Ther service is spot on like always. MakeSure you ask for kieema, she’s a sweetheart!”
“I travel from SC monthly just to get some of the best seafood in the south. Best customer service and food is consistently on point. My wife can't leave without getting food to go. 20 out of 10 ??Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring the kids.”
“If I could give them 10 stars, I would. The food was fantastic. It a sexy spot! Great for a first date or to spice up an old relationship. They even have board/card games for groups. The drinks were spot on! They can make it all... Can't wait to go back...They serve dinner as well. Best fried chicken I've had since moving to NC.”
“A fantastic place to go for *any* type of meal - date nights, friends, wine tastings, social hours...a great destination for all purposes.The wine selection is deep and high quality at every price point, the menu has potential options for virtually every taste (don't be fooled that it's a page in total - the diversity is top notch), and the staff is well informed for all requests regardless of food or drink.A couple of things to catch:- While it's great inside as well, Foxcroft really shines from Spring through Fall, where the patio is a fantastic place to grab a bite or have a glass of wine.- The periodic tastings are a great opportunity for new fans of wine to learn about all aspects of the product, and introduce new options to long-time aficionados. Worth a try!- Just another shoutout to the staff. Quality folks.”
“The pizza and wings were both fantastic! Cant wait to come back and try the focaccia and meat balls. Atmosphere is really cool and the beer list is great. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing atmosphere! The food is excellent. I was stationed in South Korea for 3 years, and trying to find good Korean food in the US is difficult, but MOA did not disappoint.”

“Good food and service. A good selection on the menu. We will certainly go back again.Parking: The number of restaurants and shops make street parking tight. The garage is centraly located so it's not too bad.”
“My husband and I found this place while walking around uptown, and we were so glad we did! The food here is amazing, everything I ate was delicious. All of the servers were very helpful in figuring out what certain things were on the menu. The butter chicken was delicious and the samosas were flavorful. We will be back!”

“Great establishment. Friendly staff, and food as to be expected. Management comped my meal without me even asking, because apparently it took too long (I didn’t even think it took that long). I’ll be coming ”
“Went at lunch time. Got in an out quickly. Staff was very nice and lots of smiles. Got a caramel frap...best 1 I've had!!!! And sprite that tasted like a sprite. ”
“Seems like most people don't like the bagels. I guess I got lucky. I really enjoyed my two bagels I ordered. Compared to other restaurants nearby, pricing wasn't too crazy. If I end up in this terminal again and I've got a hankering for bagels, I'll make sure to drop by this place again. Give it a shot!”
“Party of four dined at Aria Saturday and could not have been more pleased. Our server, Steven, was the best. His attention to our service was wonderful. His recommendations were on point and wine suggestion mixed well with our meal. We will definitely return for great Italian food.”
“It is so sad that you have finally closed down. The construction to the building stopped any dine in option. Loved coming to your restaurant, Karen, you remembered everybody in the building, not just the names but usually the whole order too of all in the building that used 6100 Good luck to you and to Dee (and Dee's husband, who I never met but know he made some wicked pork chops and chicken). Will miss you Tracey”
“Love the food!! It’s amazing. And that down home atmosphere! Now, I do dread coming in here alot only because the older lady at the front cashier desk is always a bit rude and bossy. The other ladies that work the front line seemed very politer.”
“I had surgery, so I just started back eating, I can't drive so, Doordarshan, deliver, the food was so fresh, and good, I got the 3 chicken wings, mac and cheese, collars, tea, corn bread! I know my health is returning, C'MON!!! Soul Central ya'll did that. Thank ”
“The food was really really good!!! I wish I took pictures of everything that we ate. I will definitely be returning whenever I'm back in Charlotte. The service was top notch. My children kept talking about how the service here was much better than the service we got at a Chinatown restaurant in Philadelphia.”
“Great great place for live jazz fiend. The acoustics were right and musician for the evening was exceptional. Food is not accurate from website to live menu as the fryer was no longer available. The empanadas and calamari are not an option. Crab dip is exceptional, lump and creamy. The gumbo is lacking flavor and punch. The short rib seems more of a roast like chunk without the bone and gravy. The drinks are good. Mostly I stole from the horns named cocktail was flavorful and not just liquor shots. Even with all that the music is why you come. Get drinks and enjoy the music. Go to dinner first.”
“It was my first visit to Tacos 4 Life. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. These were some of the best tacos I've had. I ordered the Hawaiian shrimp and Korean BBQ steak tacos. They were hot and fresh. I can't wait to go again.”
“Good reasonably priced food and great service. The table had the Caesar Salad, Social Burger with fries, Lemon Pepper Wings, and drinks; no complaints from anyone. Good place to chill and socialize on many levels. They have a bar area with TVs. Bartenders are "drink-friendly." Inside and outdoor seating. Safety/handicap accessible. Easy to spot in traffic. You may rent the establishment out for events and parties. I shall return... unfortunately, I was too busy having fun that I didn't take any pics.”
“We had a latte and a drip. Both were excellent. The ham and cheese croissant was very good. The quiche was good but kind of boring and "wet". Service was great.”

I totally recommend eating at this restaurant. ??”

“Yesterday, I decided to go to Tupelo Honey for lunch and I ordered the cob salad with honey balsamic vinaigrette! This was the best salad I’ve ever had! The veggies were fresh, crisp, and delicious! My server was Cameron, who provided excellent service… super friendly and served with urgency! The manager came around to check on everyone dining in. I believe his name is Darnell! I truly enjoyed myself while dining there during my lunch break! I enjoyed it so much I went back today and EVERYTHING was the same as yesterday!!! Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Cameron and Darnell helped me to get signed up for their rewards program, which gave me an instant $5 coupon! That’s definitely a win for me?”
“I cannot sing the praises of this place quickly enough, we took a stroll from our hotel looking for something light / a dessert / drink on a Sunday night and just finished the loveliest desserts- I ordered Le Citron and it was exactly what I was craving, so light and wonderful, my husband the crème brûlée - perfectly classic, we got the popular Fraise entremet to go. I also had the supernova - gin, lemon, elderberry, mint - magnificently blended, I’ve never enjoyed a drink as much as this and I only drink a couple evenings of the year. Oh and the ambiance, so calm, contrast colors without harshness, a comfortable little evening exactly what we were browsing charlotte for to end our 15th anniversary weekend. Give it a try and enjoy!

“This place was a cool gem to find and dine. It's a few steps away from uptown proper and that may be why many have stories if running into visiting celebrities. Good food and drinks of course.”
“We had a good time at Leah & Louise, with excellent service from Aja (sorry if I spelled your name wrong.) we loved the cornmeal brioche, a revelation, and the oxtail was very good too. The mussels were tasty but the vinegar was a bit strong for delicate mussels in my opinion. I especially enjoyed a mocktail they made for me with the spiced hibiscus syrup.”

“04/11/2024 We dined here for our 10 Year Anniversary, Everything was excellent! They even had us a card for our special occasion, they even called us the next day to make sure we had an excellent experience with them!”
“LOVE love loved our visit for a quick brunch post airport pick up. We did have 2 kids with us and considered this a great space to eat outdoors, give them french fries and still get a great bite! The only reason I did not give this a higher rating is because I feel the flavors in the kids menu food items are strong and I felt we had some food waste. The chicken bites while a good portion size were very greasy so my elder child picked off the batter. The butter on the pasta is nice for me, but my almost 6 year old found it to be a bit overwhelming. We will be back!”
“Brittany was excellent. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and his birthday. She was engaging, knowledgeable, great sense of humor and charismatic. We will be back soon.”
“We went on an off night. Took a long while to get our food. Staff was super responsive to that fact and went far beyond accommodating. Stellar service from the waiter and the manager. Food was 10/10! Hot, delicious, and exactly what we wanted.”

“Went here with friends. This is a first-time experience for us. We had a great waitress who explained how to order and cook food at our table. We were told we could order as much as we wanted and have 2 hours to eat. Any wasted food we didn't consume we would be charged per pound. The food selection was the K pot meals and the BBQ. We could order from both menus but $5 would be extra for the BBQ. Some of the meats such as prime rib or lamb were sliced paper thin, as were the soft tofu, all cooked in less than a minute and were not satisfying. The steak and short ribs were a decent size and fairly tender. Vegetables took the longest time to cook and I suggest to cook them first before one cooks thicker foods. I tried the mushroom soup and didn't like it. But my dining mate ordered the spicey Thai Tom yum soup and liked it. The chicken bulgoki just ok. Overall some items we ordered were satisfying ,others not so much. There was a sauce bar which also had French fries and small fried chicken tenders, all average tasting. There are vegetarian and vegan choices for soups, vegetables and noodles. Plenty of Beef, chicken, seafood , soy and pork items to choose from. Although the restaurant is clean the loud pounding repetitive background instrumental music was not conductive for a relaxing meal. We were glad we experienced this type of dining but decided once was enough for us. It can be a bit overwhelming when raw items placed on a small table area are waiting to be cooked. I suggest get a few items, cook and eat and order more as you wish Our meal per person for both hot pot and BBQ, was $35 .”
“It's such a beautiful place! From the time we walked in the door, we saw this beautiful chandelier. Immediately, we were greeted and taken to our seat. The customer service was top tier, and our waitress was amazing. She answered all of our questions and a patient as we talked about 20 minis before we were ready to order. I had the HEAVENLY CRÊPE and it was lovely. Airy ,flavorful and filling, added a little extra salt, but that's because I enforce the taste of salt. The salad dressing was delightful. The way she explained them, I ordered 3! I can't remember the names, but 2 out of the 3 hit the spot.”
“Being Ecuadorian myself, I wanted to try this spot. The food did not disappoint. The service was great and the only reason it did not get a five star was I ordered a Churrasco. That is supposed to be skirt steak. I didn't get skirt steak. It was really good but not what I was expecting. I hope in the future they expand their menu to include a few other Ecuadorian specialties like a Caldo de Bola.”
“Brittany was amazing!! Wonderful service and great wine suggestions. Food was good but the harvest salad had waaayyyyyy too many nuts and cranberries. Other than that I will definitely be back.”
“Nice, friendly staff. Food was great. Buffalo Ranch sandwich was spicier than expected, but I love spicy food. The piece of chicken was one of the best I've had. Perfectly breaded and no fatty parts. Cajun fries taste similar to Five Guys, these are just skinnier. Slaw had the homemade taste to it and was watery, which I prefer. The Reese shake was Ok, out of everything I had that was probably my least favorite, but I would still order it again! Tons of crumbled up Reeses inside”
“They were gracious enough to provide food to my apartment complex this week! Very good food and Munisa was extremely helpful with any questions I had. Will be going ”
“Eight of us had the best time at SupperClub! The Duck Pin bowling was a fun way to start the evening, with drinks and apps. Our dining experience was also great, starting off with the yummy pimento cheese app. Our waiters, Sergio and Frank, were very attentive to our needs. Even Chef Nolan came by to check on us a couple of times throughout our meal, which was extra special! Everything we ate, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccolini, chicken flatbread, fried chicken thighs, duck special, crab salad special, and the pasta bolognese, was delicious! Chocolate cake, cheesecake, and the fruit tart were also yummy! We will definitely be back! Hats off to Chef Nolan and his staff!”
“Katie was the absolute best. I 110% percent you request she be your server. She’s very sweet and attentive and makes sure you enjoy your time at Spice. I love her!”
“What a fantastic addition to South Park! It is a casual restaurant with a little market and yet the ambiance is that of a trendy upscale restaurant. The furniture, lighting and sound level were perfect. The service was amazing and I don't think I have had better homemade Italian food in Charlotte.”
“I am of Indonesian decent and I think this place is lovely. The food is not 100% traditional Indonesian food but it has put a great fresh clean twist on their me.

This was the first time that I had tried the BBQ quesadillas and they were delicious. I also had fries (which are always great) and a water.I will definitely come back every opportunity I get!”
“I often take lunch to go here on Wednesdays. My favorite food is Chicken Hakka noodles. Sandeep does a great job of customer service and Russel does his magic in the kitchen.”
“This was such a pleasant surprise. I don’t usually write reviews, but I was craving a smoothie bowl after a yoga class, and I stumbled upon berries and bites. At first, I was a little bit taken aback because I didn’t realize it was in a gas station, but don’t judge a book by its cover because the bowl was delicious, absolutely delicious. And then I realize maybe it was a good thing it was in a gas station because I was able to get my bowl and also a bag of Takis on the side. ? They were super sweet and kind.”
“Went recently and can’t judge too much on the food since I only had a Korean corn dog but they were pleasant and good customer service. Got a drink at the bar and never got a receipt or the option to tip and I think the bartender gave himself a tip. I would have gladly given one and don’t appreciate someone adding a tip automatically themselves ? it is a cute place though and has a lot of potential!”
“I was looking for a restaurant for my wife and I for our anniversary. I always wanted to eat here when I lived in Plaza but finally remembered to come since it's a special occasion.Our serve was Dylan and he didn't disappoint with service and recommendations. Ambiance was very Christmas-like and personal especially since it was the holiday's, which felt very private and personal.For starters, I had the escargot and my wife had the Apply Begger's Purse. I was a little surprised with the Gorgonzola taste since I was used to copious amounts of traditional garlic with the dish, but it was surprisingly tasty. The purse was also a good mixture of sweet and savory.I tend to be an adventurous eater and he recommended the ostrich since it was the special for the weekend while my wife had also had the special which was halibut. The Ostrich wasn't very gamy at all the was a mixture of beef and duck tase which took me for a pleasant surprise and the Halibut was cooked perfectly and wasn't very dry.For desert we tried their Flourless Molten Lava Trifle and it was he right amount of sweet.Overall, it was an amazing experience will highly recommend for any special occasion or just date night. Will be back for sure!”
