We decided to try Don's for brunch today. AMAZING doesn't even describe the atmosphere, prices, staff and most of all the food. Being first time customers, we ordered a few things to share. We had Chicken & Red Velvet Waffle, Whiting & Grits, French Toast and the Garlic Parm wings appetizer. 10/10 definitely recommend. They have a repeat customer in me.

Our flight was delayed and changed at the last minute. We decided to google some black owned restaurants to support. Don's came up and we were NOT disappointed. We were so impressed by the service from our waitress! We told her how delicious everything was and she recommended we talk to the owner. Don came out to meet us and I can see why the food is so good. The brother has such an amazing spirit and mannerism about himself. Go support this place the food is cooked with so much love and quality! From our starters to our drinks, absolute PERFECTION! We has salmon balls, collard dip, salmon and grits, and the wings/waffles.

Traveling from Savannah, GA. The food was so delicious! Was more than I expected. I will be returning again when I come back to Charlotte 😊😊
Gratuity is high, but the food is great, atmosphere is great, DJ is great, and the service is superb.

My husband and I did takeout at this restaurant. I ordered chicken and red velvet waffles and collard green dip. My husband ordered French toast, bacon, and potatoes. The chicken wings were huge, and I do not like big chicken wings. 😩 It was not seasoned well at all, so I ended up throwing the wings away. The red velvet waffles were delicious, but the collard green dip and chips were the star of the show. I would absolutely go back for the dip and chips. Everything else is mid.

First visit for my friend's birthday. Had a reservation, walked right in and sat down! Waitress came directly over and took our food and drink orders. Appetizers came out quickly! Wings and Collard Green dip delicious! Everyone enjoyed their entree Whiting and Grits, Red Velvet Waffles and Wings, and the seafood platter. I liked the atmosphere and the fact that they didn't have the music up LOUD and the selection on point. I had a great time, food was good and service was friendly and quick. I'll go back. Give them a try! Fyi: the food prices crazy and they charge an automatic 18% gratuity
Parking: Park directly behind the building in reserved spots.

So this was my first time here, it is an intimate setting however they take very long making drinks & hookah. But thank god they're quick with the food. The establish has so much potential to be great but they're on the expensive side. My food was delicious I had the stuffed crab shrimps & salmon w/grits topped with teriakyi sauce I would recommend anyone to order that. Unfortunately, my friend had the wings & they still had feathers on them, her fried shrimps were overcooked & mac & cheese lacked flavor. I would still consider this place to other who aren't looking to drink or do hookah which took 45 minutes to come out.

As a man with a business to be told i can’t be serviced because i have on slides and teeshirt and shirts but you have a whole female in crocs and is sitting eating is Crazy I be Here all the time is crazy i will never be back
Atmosphere is a vibe but the food is nasty. Had the collard green dip and the cheese was cold, had chicken and red velvet waffles. My waffles were hard & my chicken was overcooked, the waitress tried to charge me $16 for 1 shot of don. The food was overpriced for what was brought to our table. My lobster bites was like rubber and also overcooked unfortunately. Never returning. The food looks aesthetically appealing online.

I tried to make reservations online this am but it would not allow me to. When we showed u it was a 30-45 min wait but there were a lot of open tables. We sat at the bar and had amazing service from Diamond the bartender. She was very nice. Sitting at the bar noticed that the cooks who have full breads did not have on hair nets on them that is an easy fix! We order pineapple mimosas, Honey Lemon pepper wings and French toast. Please get the Honey lemon pepper wings they are amazing, flavorful.. The French toast was cold. Sad face. Great service. I would come back when I am back in town. Request and tip Ms Diamond she was the sweetest!! They also charge 18% gratuity on all parties.
