“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”
“Just finished our first meal. It was delicious and we will definitely come back. Thank you Phoebe V. for great service and a great meal.”
“You have to try the Mozzarella presentation with the Roasted Sicilian Red Peppers and the Chicken Parm with a side of fettuccine. Large portions!”

“This is easily the best greek food in Charlotte! Every time I come back home to Charlotte, I’m here at least every other day. They have such good quality food, great portions and prices and an amazing staff! I highly recommend supporting this business.”
“We just had the best experience at midwood smokehouse! Super family friendly. The server (I can’t recall her name but she was the one who was closing) was so friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was very nice. Highly recommend this restaurant!!!”

“gluten free donuts...what more can you ask for! friendly staff, great location, delicious donuts. made the drive from kings mountain to give them a try! prices are great for what you get!”
“I've ordered from here a few times and every time it's been amazing I love the salsa is amazing a little spicy but well worth it. Good portions and for the price really filling.”
“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.”

“I've visited Idlewild twice since moving to an apartment practically behind it, and it's already become one of my favorite spots in Charlotte.
The vibe is moody, inviting, a little sexy, and somehow both sophisticated and completely unpretentious. Both times we've visited, the host greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome.
We've only grabbed spots at the standing bar, but Jacob has been our bartender both visits and he's been fantastic. Fun, engaging, and most importantly, makes a great cocktail.
What makes Idlewild special is that there isn't a menu. You simply describe what you're in the mood for, and they make the magic happen. Every drink we've had was outstanding.
It's the perfect place to take out-of-town guests when you want to show off Charlotte, and it's also a great date-night spot. You'll look like you're in the know when you bring someone here.
Now that I live so close, it's going to be very hard to walk by without stopping in.”

“Five stars for Jillian! We visited the rooftop bar and she absolutely made our evening. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever hovering. Her cocktail recommendations were spot-on — she clearly knows the menu inside and out — and she timed everything perfectly, even as the bar filled up. It’s rare to get service that feels this effortless and personal at a busy spot. Jillian is a true professional and a huge asset to this place. We’ll be back, and we’ll be asking for her section.”
“The vibe is awesome the good was amazing it was fresh and just the perfect amount of. The drink was great, the back patio was super quaint and cute perfect for a girls night or date night the indoor bar was cute and the outdoor patio was great for a dinner or brunch with friends.”
“We held my daughter’s celebratory graduation dinner from UNCC at Barcelona Wine Bar this past weekend, and it was absolutely perfect! I planned the event far in advance with Tiana, their Sales & Events Manager, and she was thorough, communicative and handled it all like a pro, including a last minute change to the menu that she texted to me (smart). She arranged for printed menus with the event name (lovely detail!) and because they can’t include mussels, her favorite, on an event menu (understandable), they surprised us and sent her some anyway on the house. Our main server (I’m blanking on her name so sorry we love you so much!!) and our bar servers, Morgan and Justin (who we kept busy 🤣), should win personality of the year awards for their wit, humor, charm and skill (for instance, Morgan wowed us with his tapas plate stacking ability and made sure to holler in my Mama’s good ear when he spoke 🤣). It was great fun, and the food was DELISH!! Highly recommend for events and also looks like a fun place to just hang out!”
“Wow! Wow! Wow! We had the most spectacular experience tonight! We ordered the wedge salad to spilt, the Salmon entree and a feature consisting of a ribeye and a crab cake! The flavors surpassed our expectations and every bite we were looking at each other like “what?!” Compliments to the chef and to our server, Peter. Trust us, GO AND ASK FOR PETER! We will be back and we’ll be dreaming about our meal till then!”
“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”

“This place is fantastic! Went there last night for a networking meeting and was thoroughly impressed. The food, decor, and the live band were so great! Will definitely come back in the future just to hang out, meet for business, or to grab a great bite. The staff was so nice and had me in stitches! A true must visit!”
“This was a great choice for my first visit to a Waffle House. I loved the wall of windows and natural light.
Our server was so helpful with menu suggestions and answering my questions. The coffee was excellent, and she kept my cup full. We started with the cheesy grits and OMG! We devoured that! I don't normally eat American cheese, but I liked it on the grits. They were so creamy and tasty!
Next, we ordered the Grilled Chicken plate, Cheesesteak and Cheese Eggs breakfast, and added on a pecan waffle. I added grilled onion to the cheesesteak and hash browns; highly recommend. The food came out piping hot, smelled amazing, and was soooo tasty. The grilled chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. I ate everything on my plate except for the waffle; that was my only disappointment. It was doughy and too dense; I only took a few bites.
I see why people love Waffle House, but I've heard that they're not all created the same, lol. This one is super nice, bright, and clean, with amazing food and coffee.”
“I just can’t talk enough about how good of a server Tazz is I think she’s there best server yet there best server in a long time she so sweet and super patient (not to mentionThe she’s very easy on the eyes , I’m sure customers love her I’ll be back just for the amazing experience tazz and the cook gave us I just wanna say thank you 💚”

“Great quality food with a nice variety of healthy options! 🙌🏽 I loved the Taku Bowl, and my hubby really enjoyed the Peruvian Fried Rice with plantains. I also tried the chicken, rice & veggie soup, and it was delicious!
Bonus: They’re offering a weekday special for just $11.95, and that includes your protein! Definitely worth checking out! 😋”
“Fresh food, locally sourced, large menu— can’t go wrong, everything’s delicious! Great for couples, families (kids). We’ve been several times and always had phenomenal service and a delicious meal (Bbq, wings, favorite starter’s *bacon wrapped jalapeños, and best coleslaw ever!”
“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.”
“Belissima! Vibes and decorè, unmatched! Its sexy, sleak, and a lil sultry. The back lighting at night is gorgeous. It creates a very intimate vibe. The food is small plates so don't belive you're going to feast. My only draw back was flavor. When it said SPICE I was expecting an indulgent amount of SPICE with unique flavor compliments. Being internationally inspired I guess I was reaching. I will say that the food presentation was beautiful.”
“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!!!”
“Went her for a birthday breakfast for my son's 17th birthday! It was great! The food and drinks were amazing! The staff was very nice and welcoming! We will definitely be back!”
“If you ever go please ask to be seated in Mya's section she is amazing...the atmosphere food and music was great!!!
We celebrated our sister Tank's Birthday...”

“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.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place has it all! Mondays are a blast with Music Bingo – the perfect way to kick off the week. The drinks are top notch 🍹, the menu is phenomenal (seriously, everything we tried was delicious 😋), and the energy is always on point. Come the weekend, the dance floor comes alive 💃🕺 with parties that keep everyone moving. A spot that nails food, fun, and music – can’t wait to come back!”
“Abugida is the best Ethiopian in Charlotte, the food is made fresh everyday. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. If you haven't tried Ethiopian, they will help you with the menu. This food is amazing and their injera is always fresh and delicious. Always order coffee!”
“Definitely a special occasion spot. Their wine collection is exceptional, which is to be expected. I initially ordered a Bordeaux that I did not care for and we were able to order another bottle with no issues. My only complaint is we asked to keep the price comparable and they sent a $20 more expensive bottle. I ordered the filet and it was cooked perfectly. We were there for a birthday and they sent a complimentary champagne flute for all 9 of us in our party. Amazing. I like the interior of this location more than the others. But no exterior compares to the Dilworth location.”

“Everything at Eddie V's was spectacular! Dinner was amazing, and the sea bass was absolutely exceptional. But one of the highlights of the night was Maddie, our bartender, and these fabulous French martinis! 🍸 She was wonderful and made our evening even more fun. Thank you, Maddie, and Eddie V's for such a great night. We'll definitely be back! ❤️”
“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. ❤️”
“The prix fixe menu is surprisingly expansive and doesn't feel limiting at all. We took a risk on the ricotta to go with the house-made focaccia that comes out as a starter, even though others said it wasn't worth it. Do not skip this. It's some of the best ricotta we've had, and it pairs perfectly with the focaccia.
Every dish was executed extremely well. The plating was excellent, the portions were just right, and the pasta was the clear star. The sweet potato agnolotti was a standout for us.
Service was excellent throughout. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole experience.
This may be Charlotte's hidden gem, and quite possibly one of its best restaurants. Highly recommend.”
“Yugenn is a Japanese restaurant that takes the art of both Japanese cooking and cocktail making to the next level. Whether it be the Hamachi Haru with the semi spicy strawberry Ponzu, salmon nigiri with lemon, or Scarlett Crown Sushi roll (Tempura Soft Shell Crab, Avocado| Topped: Spicy Tuna, Spicy Mayo, Fried Garlic)) It was all delicious artistry. Service was impeccable too (Sophia). The Lotus Milk Punch cocktail probably jumped too my favorite cocktail in Charlotte. (Clarified Don Julio Reposado, Zacapa, Lime, Pineapple, Coconut)”

Cheap Eats
“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,”
“The food is good, inexpensive and the music ties the whole vibe together. The service is so quick and I’ve never had to wait for our food. $7 can you get you 2 meals. Along with the $3 empanada thursdays.
Family or friends, this place is a GO TO in the plaza midwood area!”
“Great place for a quick bite. If you’re there on the days they make the tamales just know the tamales are HUGE. They aren’t really a side dish, more of a whole lunch type deal. The queso was amazing, I wish I asked for more of it! Cool place. I’ll be back next time I’m in town during the week.
Also. Don’t be deterred if you see a line going way out the front. They are super fast. Like really fast.”
“Tried Chex Grill in Indian Trail today and let me just say… the food was SLAPPIN 😮🔥 But the real star? Rashad. Absolute top-tier human. There was a tiny “delay” with my jerk chicken sub because they were literally making the sauce fresh (which honestly just tells me everything I need to know). I wasn’t even bothered, but Rashad went out of his way to make sure I had food at the same time as my family and surprised me with a chicken, mushroom, and cheese sub (no clue the official name but BABYYYYY… it was BUSSIN). The kindness, the thoughtfulness, the vibes were unmatched. Food was amazing, service was superb, and it’s rare to see someone care that much these days. We’ll 100% be back. Rashad, you’re doing it right 👏🏽❤️”
“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”
“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!”

“Great sushi at Yama Loso! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and quick. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.”
“This place is back! The food and service Was Michelin star quality ! It’s a must try . #yum”
“I had the Island Ribeye with asparagus, she had the Cedar Baked Salmon. With a glass of white wine and a "Perfect Manhattan", it was certainly a night to remember. Great spot!”

“Taking your kids to a brewery sounds like a parenting choice you'd only make if you were actively trying to get judged by the internet. But honestly? This place is a total lifesaver. Even if your children are currently vibrating at a frequency that shatters glass and running around like they’ve been fueled entirely by Pixy Stix, the staff here somehow makes it a pleasant experience. They didn't even flinch when my youngest tried to befriend a potted plant. The food was fantastic, the beer was exactly what I needed to survive the aforementioned Pixy Stix energy, and the whole experience was top-notch. 10/10, would highly recommend to any parent looking to drink a great beer while their offspring are safely distracted.”
“Excellent food & service. Gorgeous courtyard with jazz guitarists 2 Wednesdays a month from 7-9.”
“Maya’s was fantastic as our server! We had never been before and she made the experience more than amazing! The entire meal was fantastic, fresh meats, seafood and vegetables. Delicious broth for th pots. Definitely worth the money and we will most definitely be back again! Also thanks for the birthday dessert and the fun (yet embarrassing song)😂”
“Incredibly fun experience and delicious food! We will be coming back in the future! The crispy pork belly is out of this world!!!”

“Just visited the Charlotte Uptown location today and it was fantastic! This was my third time at this location and I think it's even better than the last two times. Keon, our server, was exceptionally nice and made our lunch such a great experience. Love Jinya! So good!”
“Had a really nice lunch here with the family. The food was fresh, and the staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back next time we’re in the area!”
“Stopped for a lunch just off the interstate. Loved the beers and the food! But Cassie was the icing on the cake. She recommended all great things and gave us a great respite on our work day. We’ll be back!”
“We had an AMAZING experience at Cowfish Bar and Grill!! The food was delicious BUT our waiter, Jevon, was exceptional!! He gave great recommendations and he was personable. The birthday parade Jevon led was entertaining and put a big birthday smile on my husbands day! Thank you Jevon!!!”
“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.”
“Absolutely AMAZING pizza! The atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic! I can’t wait to go again! I had the veggie pizza, my only regret, sharing with my daughter😂. I’ll get my own next time.”
“I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant!! We went here for my boyfriend’s birthday, and we both agreed that this is our favorite restaurant we have tried in Charlotte since moving here last May! The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. Amazing experience!!”

“5/5 Stars – Delicious Vegan Food! I stopped at Enat Ethiopian Restaurant while passing through Charlotte and picked up a vegan platter to go — and it was incredible! Every item was flavorful and satisfying, and the injera was so good I could eat it every day. The staff was friendly and welcoming, even for a quick carry-out order. I left happy, full, and already wanting to come back. Highly recommend!”
“Really fun cocktail lounge with a huge selection, so there’s something for everyone. I also loved the atmosphere. It’s a really neat spot without feeling pretentious. Definitely has a “come as you are” kind of vibe.”

“From the ambiance, the attentive staff, exquisite food and drinks the evening was 1st Class. Not stodgy or overbearing but our needs were anticipated. The food was beyond! Thank you!”
“This was such a fun birthday night for my bestfriend! All the actors were great (especially the hidden ones in the crowd)! Kept us laughing and kept us guessing who the murderer could be all the way up til the very end! Food was also very good. Will absolutely be back for a new case to solve soon!
This was in uptown so keep that in mind when looking for parking in advance. There are some paid lots around the area.”
“❤Brian is amazing. This place feels like family. Amazing food, wonderful server, Jodi, dessert to die for! Go and feel at home!”
“Recomiendo la comida, es muy deliciosa. Pero el servicio de las personas es muy malo en Charlotte en Raleigh son excelentes, en Charlotte la única persona con don de servicio, es el chico, las mujeres no.”
“We had an excellent experience. The food was really good. Really nice dining area and outside seating. Absolutely loved it.”
“Very well maintained restaurant with delicious food. I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala with butter naan. The rice was aromatic and the mango lassi was delicious!”
“Staff clearly knows what's gluten free, happily points it out on the menu and at the dipping sauce station. Dipping sauce station is super clean and appeared free of contamination, no mixing of ingredients/sauces. Vegan options are obvious on the menu, and plentiful. Service was stellar, and soooo was the food! This is is my new favorite, hands down. Show up hungry, the servings are generous.”
“I went for a business trip and found this little Gem. Friendly staff and food is amazing. 😋”
“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 👍🏻”
“Everything at Eddie V's was spectacular! Dinner was amazing, and the sea bass was absolutely exceptional. But one of the highlights of the night was Maddie, our bartender, and these fabulous French martinis! 🍸 She was wonderful and made our evening even more fun. Thank you, Maddie, and Eddie V's for such a great night. We'll definitely be back! ❤️”
“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.”
“Great food! Loved the Mac and cheese and pulled pork. Our server, Zach H was awesome :)”
“Our server, Brian was phenomenal, he made our dinner so pleasant. He was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful with our dinner selections. Our meal was excellent as always.”
“we had a retirement celebration at Harry's. Highly recommend. Everything was excellent. Thank you Harry's for making the celebration a success.”
“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!”
“Stopped by while we are visiting the area and what a find! The steamed momo dumplings are extra special, a must try⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Also the tandoori chicken was perfection. The serving sizes are generous and the staff was lovely. A great hidden gem!”
“Yesterday I organized a dinner for my family, food was very delicious and tasty. My all family told me that their staff was very professional and kind. Highly Recomended💯”
“This place is a must go to if you like Ramen or shrimp tempura or gyoza, etcetera. The spring rolls were fantastic as well but we will be back here for sure. Very authentic and great service and food!”
“Outstanding food, service, and ambience. First time coming and we’ll definitely come back; the ceviche, octopus, gambas, and beet salad were simply scrumptious 😋 10/10”
“Our family had many lunches here, the quality of the food was consistent, we were greeted with big smiles every time, the restaurant & restrooms were clean. We loved the food here & will definitely be back. Keep up the good work!”
“Very Friendly service. Staff were great and assisted with menu choices. Most of all the Pizza was Delicious 😋”
“Delicious! My fave is Island Soursop and I just found it Friday at the Christmas show. I’ve had 1 daily since Friday and I’m obsessed. I also loved the Mango but honestly all the flavors I tried were delicious also. I feel great and hydrated plus the taste is incredible. I have several more to drink this week and will be getting more soon! Try it- you will not regret it!!!”
“Great food and service favorite ramen is the spicy vegan with fried chicken!”
“Western PA native; moved to Concord, NC in 2023. I had heard about it and seen it on social media. Love it! My Dad and I visited it today! #yinzer”
“Great service thanks to Ducky! She was outstandingly personable, friendly and informative, giving me a great suggestion on what to order. Food was 10/10! I had the shrimp burrito and the flavors were incredible. Possibly the best burrito I’ve ever had, no cap!”
“We had the opportunity to visit Stagioni while completing a commercial plumbing project for them, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. The team was incredibly kind and even sent us home with a pizza, which was absolutely amazing. We can definitely see why this place has such a great reputation. We'll be back, this time as customers!”
“Prime Fish is the very best for sashimi that you will find anywhere in NC. The quality they use is just superior to all others. It literally melts in your mouth. The chefs are genius and pure artists.”

“It is not what appears on the menu that makes this an incredible diner. I witnessed a lot of interaction between repeat customers and the entire staff. It gives the place a nice 'home style' feel. The food speaks for itself, fabulous for the price. Always pleased with what I order there.”

She is the one to ask for! 5 Star rating! Food was excellent! Prices are reasonable, the murals are Colorful! Looking to Going again!”
“We ordered takeout from Showmars yesterday (Sunday, May 5 2026) and everything was perfect! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were craving. Everything was correctly prepared, nicely packaged, and clearly labeled, which made unpacking at home super easy. A special shoutout to the cashier, Carol, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. Her great attitude made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend! 👍”
“We LOVE Jersey Mike's food and their crew! The food is always superior and the crew is so friendly and they take such good care of us. We are there every week and they cater to a garlic allergy Mark's mother has. They make everyone feel like family. I highly recommend that you stop by and pay them a visit, Tell them Kathy & Mark sent you! You will not be disappointed. Donny the manager and his crew run a tight ship and they will take great care of you! Keep up the great work everyone. We appreciate your hard work! God bless & keep you & yours... Kathy & Mark”
“We happened upon this most delicious and delightful treasure while seeking flavor, quality food and welcoming atmosphere. Adriano, owner, scored perfect 10s in all categories. If you benefit from an honest review from a taste and quality connoisseur please do yourself, family, friends, co-workers and neighbors a tremendous favor and visit this lovely, sparkling with personality Romeo and Juliet cafe. So many savory looking, lip smacking, mouth watering exceptional flavor, smooth and exquisitely presented dishes annd desserts! Wow! We’re going back and taking everyone with us. One visit and you’ll be coming back, too. Yes, it’s that special. (Adriano’s wife is a world class chef)”
“I had lunch today with my friends here and the food was delicious and genuine. It's not easy to find a restaurant that has real Cuban food. My wife and I were born in Cuba and miss this kind of food. She had the 'vaca frita' and I had 'masas de puerco'. Everything was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender with genuine flavor. The mojitos were also delicious. Our compliments to the chef and staff. If you want to taste real Cuban food, we highly recommend this restaurant.”

“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!”
“Kelly, our server was absolutely fantastic - The Best Server I have seen in any restaurant - 5 STAR Service - She did a wonderful job. However, the food quality was not up to par this evening. I had the Surf & Turf and the Lobster was overcooked. Another party had a Hamburger and was not satisfied with the quality & taste. The manager came over and took care of everything very professionally for which we very much appreciated his involvement. For that reason, we will come back to Firebirds in Stonecrest again.”
“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.”
“Salutations! What a wonderful evening we had that was elevated by our server, Carli. She has wonderful decorum and carries herself and represents Stir in the highest light. Carli and the exquisite service that she delivered amplified our experience— a rare quality to be found. The food was delicious and elegantly presented and served. The artisan ice extrapolations, performed table side - again by Carli- offered an elegant and entertaining prologue to the divine Stir Old Fashion. Cuisine and atmosphere were delish. Thank you Carli for the above and beyond and fabulous personality and wit. See you again soon!”

“I live right around the corner, and this has quickly become one of my favorite places in Charlotte. I can’t say enough about the staff! Jesse, Ryan, Abby, and the entire team, as well as the owner, Eloy. They have created a place that feels genuinely welcoming every single time I walk through the door.
There is something very special about the atmosphere here. It is warm, sophisticated, and beautifully executed without ever feeling pretentious despite getting Michelin recognition. The lighting, music, and overall design are exceptional, and the bar is easily one of my favorites in Charlotte. It’s just so well done.
Rada also makes, hands down, the best martinis in the city. I’m not sure what comes in second. Every dish I’ve had has been thoughtful, layered, and so well done, with a level of creativity and attention to detail that really stands out.
More than anything, this is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to keep coming back. It feels polished and elevated, but still personal and comfortable. Almost like coming home. I’m very grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood and look forward to many more visits. Thank you, Rada!”
“This is my second visit. I enjoyed one of my favorite classic sandwiches: The Rueben. Delicious. The Chop Cheese is on special like it was two weeks ago the first time I was here. The Chop Cheese is out of this world. The fries and sides are too notch and the bagels are so good you'll slap your mama!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Amazing Experience!
I brought my wife here for her birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated incredibly well. The hospitality, the service, and the overall atmosphere were beyond our expectations. We have rarely, if ever, been treated this well at a restaurant!
The food was delicious, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the outstanding customer service. A very special thank you to Troy, our server, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He was attentive, kind, professional, and genuinely made us feel special. He made my wife’s birthday even more memorable, and we truly appreciate the effort he put into making our visit so wonderful.
People like Troy are what make a restaurant stand out from the rest. You can tell when someone genuinely cares about their guests, and that made all the difference for us.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service. We had an amazing time, felt welcomed from beginning to end, and will absolutely be coming back! Thank you, Troy, and the entire team, for making my wife’s birthday such a special occasion. You guys deserve all the recognition! ❤️”
“Maya’s was fantastic as our server! We had never been before and she made the experience more than amazing! The entire meal was fantastic, fresh meats, seafood and vegetables. Delicious broth for th pots. Definitely worth the money and we will most definitely be back again! Also thanks for the birthday dessert and the fun (yet embarrassing song)😂”
“Came for lunch with hubby for the first time and the food was delicious. We tried the mussels and burrito as appetizer and for Entrees has the chicken sandwich which was amazingly good and hubby had the branzino. Atmosphere of the place is so inviting and decor was beautiful. our waitress Eva took really good care of us. Totally recommend checking this new restaurant out.”
“I had the hamburger at Painted Rooster, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor was great, and I also really enjoyed the coleslaw. The service was good, and overall I had a very pleasant experience.
My only suggestion would be to make the hamburger a little bigger or offer a larger portion. After finishing the burger and the coleslaw, I was still a little hungry. The quality and taste are definitely there—just a little more food would make the experience even better.
Overall, delicious food, good service, and a place I’d be happy to visit again!”
“The best place run by the best people! We've been coming here for years, and it's a no-brainer: the wine list stays fresh and exciting, and the staff is always teaching me something new. Substrate's pop-ups and live music jams are always a good time, and it's a good time whether you're out on patio or cozy by the bar. The only place in CLT with such an authentic, art loft vibe. If there's no pop-up happening: plan to order delivery to the patio & stay for a while; Subs doesn't have a kitchen.”
“Went to Mother’s Comfort Food for breakfast, and the food was so good! Such a welcoming place, and I absolutely loved the wall of photos of mothers—it adds such a personal touch. Loved the Mama Mary Bloody Mary too! 😂 We’re moving to the area and will definitely be back!”

“Five stars for Jillian! We visited the rooftop bar and she absolutely made our evening. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever hovering. Her cocktail recommendations were spot-on — she clearly knows the menu inside and out — and she timed everything perfectly, even as the bar filled up. It’s rare to get service that feels this effortless and personal at a busy spot. Jillian is a true professional and a huge asset to this place. We’ll be back, and we’ll be asking for her section.”
