“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!“
“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 !“
“Eat at Pinky's. Eat at Pinky's. I kept hearing this, so made the stop.The spot itself is cool, eclectic, fun.It was busy so I grabbed a bar spot.Ordered the Ding Dong Chicken and really enjoyed it. It's unique, a crunchy PB, chicken, and cilantro slaw sammy.I'd definitely say to give it a shot if you're in town.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Love this place! Lot's of benefits to this place.The food comes out fast. No matter what it is. I ordered the fried calamari and OMG!! It was very delicious. It was fried nicely, light and crispy. I felt like I was eating fried chicken, pork rinds, and calamari all in one. It doesn't need seasoning. And if you add a squeeze of lemon juice, OMG amazing!I ordered the pork Belly. The pork belly was okay in my opinion. I don't like sweet sauce and the sauce was a bit too tangy for my liking. But other people may like it. That's just my personal opinion.I ordered the chicken rangoons. They were okay. I needed a bit more seasoning or salt.I ordered the Lamb chops for dinner. And they were amazing! The way they cooked that with a nice crisp and cooked medium rare and the flavor OMG!!! It came with a salad with feta cheese and a vinegarette dressing. I didn't really care for the salad on the side. Normally I would have because of the mixed greens and the feta cheese but I don't like sweet dressing.Overall, a super fantastic place!! I will be back!!Vegetarian options: I didn't really see any.Dietary restrictions: I didn't really see any.Parking: Paid street parking and paid garage parking is available.Kid-friendliness: It is kid-friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“
“One of my go to cocktail bars in Charlotte! Every Monday night they have $1 oysters, which is one of the best food deals in the city, and pairs well with their freezer variation of a Martini (easily my favorite in the city).Their cocktail menu consist largely of classics and riffs on classics, of which the Bourbon based Mai Tai and Ube Colada are some of my current favorites. Bar staff is pleasant and highly knowledgeable, and can create “bartenders call” cocktails if you’re feeling adventurous!One of the definite spots for cocktails in the Queen City!“
“Jared and Scott are awesome. At one point Scott actually did a rendition of a famous play (Shakespeare)! I was impressed to say the least. Directly after he told me he could juggle the liquor bottles like from that movie cocktail with Tom Cruise. We had to go but will definitely 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!“
“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.“
“Amazing drinks, first tasted one of their Blender series at a local bottle shop and could not stop talking about it. Found out this was not too far from me and took my best friend with me. I tried a few beers, the food truck sadly was closed when we went but they were very accommodating with us getting outside food. Seems they have some events that happen regularly, including a cycling group. The bartender was informative and had no problems answering specific questions. Even let me know which beers were vegan for me to take some home to my wife. Amazing selections.“
“We stopped by Catalina for happy hour today and I have to say that Catalina is comfortable, beautiful, spotless and the food is good. Thomas, the bartender, was the star of our personal celebration. We sat at the large circular bar which is well stocked and reasonably priced. We tried several of the happy hour small plates (all under $10 and very tasty), and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails while Thomas furthered our education about bourbons, whiskeys and ryes. Highly recommend!“
“First time at Bad Daddy’s, I was pleasantly surprised how good my spicy chicken burger was. It was a perfect blend of well cooked fried chicken with some spice and sweetness. The burger needed nothing else except I had to ask for some avocado because it did not have enough. The appetizer we chose was the poblano pepper strips with the spicy aioli (which was so flavorful). My daughter ordered the groomed cheese which we will not be ordering again. There was hardly cheese and the card too thick with no Mayo or anything to make moist and the broccoli had no seasoning!! My husband ordered a burger with lots of meat and he truly enjoyed but he did ask for the spicy aioli because it was a bit dry although cooked medium well. The place is busy but my complaint I’d that the tables are way too close to each other and the waiter had to be called over to our table because we did not see her in a while. I will say I can appreciate the ability of being able to order a side salad and customize it.“
“The??best??Al Pastor??Tacos??periodt!Vibes and music?love the decor *look for the pop tarts and gummiesThat morita salsa, more please?? flavor for daysssWe also tried the flautas, queso, birria torta & tacos and of course the Coconut Mojito⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Sophia really took care of us, THANK YOU??*sorry no food pics but all too good to waste time in silly photos??“
“This place is AMAZING! Theres swings outside, everyone was friendly, a slide, great drinks.The ski ball was free, duck-pin bowling was relatively cheap (I believe $10?) and lots of open games. Pinball was $1 per game. Despite a lot of people, we were able to go through the place comfortably. Great place to get a drink and hangout, was a TON of fun!!!Parking: Parking on side of building. Unsure if theres a lot of parking, but a good amount of spots.“
“Great local restaurant and consistently one of our favorites! Diverse menu with multiple healthy options and things that can modified as needed. Superior quality of all food items coupled with exceptional service - all very consistent!!! We had the crab cakes, side of collard greens, salmon on lentils/kale, and a side of roasted butternut squash with brussel sprouts - each dish perfectly cooked, excellent flavors.“
“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!“
“The food and drinks are reasonably priced. Food tastes really good and big portions. Very clean and spacious inside. The service was a bit slow after the food arrived, however we did come at a peak time. A manager was attentive and quickly got us what we needed.“
“Our favorite bottle shop in Charlotte for many reasons. The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful, the beer selection is vast and can find some great bargain beers on the bottom shelf, the plants create a cozy atmosphere, and can't forget about the pups!“
“The cilantro-lime chicken skewers and the baked feta and spanish dip were PHENOMENAL!!! I was in town to visit my boyfriend and ended up having our very first date at your restaurant. Even though the hostess and the waitress mentioned that you were running behind in the kitchen, let me share that the delay did not impact the quality, service, and presentation of the food. We appreciate all the people who served Bryan and Gigi, and hope to see you all again!“
“The barista Morgan was incredibly friendly and personable as I waiting to receive my drink and we had such an amazing conversation good luck to their creative ambitions in life. The drink, service, atmosphere, live music, was fantastic and I definitely will be back “
“If you enjoy terrific cocktails, fantastic service and a chill ambiance this is your spot. My wife and I attended their Krampus event that is held during December. We arrived and were seated at the bar for the ticketed event. Their policy is to allow only the number of guests in the bar who can be seated. This leads to the experience that we enjoyed immensely. Ashley was our bartender and provided us with the perfect mix of cocktail knowledge and conversation without being "over bearing". Overall the place is a ten. Nothing was left to chance and customer experience was flawless. Will be back!“
“Probably the best dive bar in Charlotte. Depending on the night you’ll find an eclectic mix of bikes and people there. Is it Carrabba’s, no, that’s what is great about it. It’s a gritty place with a wholesome atmosphere, Cheers meets Hee Haw.“
“The customer service is top notch! My husband was visiting the restaurant from out of state with a large group for a sales meeting and I asked the manager if they could bring him a piece of bday cake and the service team pulled it off! It was awesome that they could made it happen, all while taking care of a huge group! Thank y’all for going above and beyond!“
“One of my favorite restaurants! I want to try everything on the menu, but I love their shrimp and grits so much that I have a hard time passing it up. The she-crab soup is delicious. I done think you can go wrong with most things on the menu.“
“I had a birthday luncheon there with 12 people. The space was not fit for so manu, BUT, they patiently thought of ways to accommodate us. It worked and everyone in my party loved both their food selections, the atmosphere, and the service. Jessica, our server, was fantastic and polite. She answered menu questions with kindness and professionalism. We had people in our party who have never had Japanese ramen so the staff's patience was so appreciated.Thank you for making my birthday special.“
“Had dinner and drinks with some girlfriends here. Had the most kind and generous service by our server Nathan. He even went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and gave us recommendations to his favorite spots in town. Will absolutely request Nathan in the future. Food and wine was incredible as well as the service. Thank you!!!“
“Our reservations were for 3pm Easter Sunday... We like mid afternoon and the three of us enjoyed our meal and experience. We chose the salmon and crab stuffed halibut with chopped salads. Yum!! It wasn't too busy so the noise and meal experience was very nice! We will be back!!“
“This place where I was is not a Evening Muse. Although, the place beside it is where I went, called The Old News Vintage. It's actually a amazing vintage store,. You can get vintage clothes, hat's, name brands like Carhartt, Levi's, Adidas,etc. With the nicest, most polite, 2 gentleman there, that will help you find what you possibly need or looking for, that I have ever meet. I believe their the owners. Very helpful. I got me some Carhartt pants, & my husband got him a Star Wars hat. And he doesn't even wear hats. Anyway, Check it out when you're near, It's AWESOME ??... Good stuff, with great prices...“
“Buzz City used to be the old Roudines. So I was pleasantly surprised with the decor. Owner was very friendly.Music was nice the parm wings and burger I got were absolutely delicious!Bar was decently stocked but no Hendrix was available maybe next time..I will definitely go back..“
“1st time there thru someone's advice. Place is very neat. For a Fri nite, place wasn't full however everyone seemed nice. Multiple tvs for sport's & they have a good DJ. The only thing that threw me for a loop was at 10 pm, two very big armed guards came in to keep the peace. There's a reason for this, and i dont need to find out. I like the place, and it could be the owners are just being cautious, but im out.“
“I’ve been wanting to try Cypress Drinkery in Charlotte, North Carolina for so long and finally got there. It was better than I imagined. Just a chill local bar with a bottle shop. The bartender was amazing. She was very friendly and had fast service. The prices were reasonable and loved the space too. Will definitely go back.“
“Me and my girlfriend came here last night just looking for a place with good food and beer. This place absolutely nailed it. The burgers are completely as advertised. The Playlist they had on was a vibe and bartender Zoey and the other gentleman took care of everything we asked for. I think we found our new brew and bites place in uptown. Thanks y'all!“
“Well above my expectations! I was actually on my way to another Brazilian steakhouse and then this popped up on my Marriott bonvoy app. The concept same kind of cool with a Brazilian style sports bar so I decided to check it out. The plate that I had was really good and they have 34 Oz size beers available. Very lively when I walked in as there was a band playing which I found surprising for that time of day as it was only about 5:00 p.m. they were towards the end of their set so they had to have gotten there earlier. Guy behind the bar did take care of me but seem to be preoccupied with other things going on. Wasn't a big deal but I did have to wait a little to pay my tab and order my food. It was worth the wait though and is somewhere I will be back again!“
“We are visiting from Connecticut and this was our first time at Maggiano's. The food was the Best I have ever eaten. The manager Jordan and our servor Marie gave us impeccable service. I had the salmon dinner. My husband and grandson had the beef medallions. We started with the wedge salad. Had the stuffed mushrooms and fried zucchini. My husband had the tiramasu for dessert and I had the butter cake. We are going back to Celebrate our anniversary next week. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“
“One of the coolest bars I've ever been too. Mechanical pin bowling, free arcade games, sports games (including UFC PPV), a giant slide with a bar at the top of the slide, swings, outdoor beer pong with trashcan and kickball. They got it all.“
“Legion Plaza is always top-tier for us and is definitely one of our favorite spots in the area! We hosted a baby shower on the mezzanine area this past weekend that turned out wonderful. The staff was helpful and attentive as always, the event coordinator was knowledgeable and accommodating, the food was delicious and presented beautifully, and the space is perfect for a more intimate setting of 30ish people. 10/10“
“Tipsy Burro has really good Tex-Mex food, but it is not a place to stop for quick bite to eat.First, the complaints about service: We visited Tipsy Burro on a Friday night at around 5pm because we had a 6pm appointment less than a mile away. Seems like a reasonable ask, to order food and eat within about an hour. But it was not to be, as we had to rush our way out of Tipsy Burro. Our 12 year-old ordered an appetizer and meal at the same time. The appetizer arrived in good time. After 10 minutes, my wife and I ordered our meals. But I did I have to go up to the bar to request a waiter after about 10 minutes because no one came to check on us. My wife and kid's platters arrived at the same time (a decent time after our appetizer arrived). My meal still took another 10 minutes to arrive after that (basically, my kid was done eating before my food arrived). The staff apologized for the delay in my food, which I appreciated, but I only ordered a salad, so I didn't understand the hold up. We asked for the bill when food arrived, and we did receive it in timely fashion. Unfortunately, my wife had to flag down someone on the staff to pay our bill because after several minutes, no one came to check on us. She literally stood in the middle of the dining floor trying to get someone's attention for several minutes before someone took her credit card. This might not have been a major issue for us if we didn't have something scheduled up the road. But we did and we tried to make it clear and it didn't seem to matter.All that being said, let's get to second: the praise about the food! Holy moly is this place tasty. Our 12 year-old is a very slow eater. But their rice & bean tacos were so tasty that they finished eating before my food arrived. We have never seen that before. Technically our kid ordered a guacamole taco, but there was no guacamole on it. We didn't get charged extra, so no harm, no foul. I ordered a spinach salad and I chose the soy crumbles as the protein. The salad was wonderful! Spinach was fresh. Orange slices were peeled perfectly with no pith or bitterness. The bacon pieces were a great surprise, as they were unexpected by me and also cooked ideally (not too crispy). The avocado ranch dressing I got on the side was really tasty and wonderful for dipping crumbles into. I cannot say enough good things about this salad! My wife loved her meal as well, although I can't remember what she got because I was so focused on my delicious plate in front of me. I know she had something with refried beans while our kid's tacos came with black beans. Both of them were happy with their bean choices.As far as atmosphere is considered, the restaurant and bar are decorated pretty kitschy. Such an eclectic collection of posters and antique signage and Simpsons toys. All three of us couldn't stop looking at all the unique sights. One of our favorite things was watching the TV at the bar - they were playing old 1970's episodes of the Gong Show. The only downside was what was on our table - a lack of napkins (which were eventually delivered to us as a roll of paper towels, but only after us asking) and silverware (which were disappointedly delivered as plasticware when our food arrived).The food was amazing and felt authentic and we will be back to this place, even with our challenging service experience. That's how good the meal was.Vegetarian options: They didn't seem to have a kid's menu, but our 12 year-old pescatarian found plenty on the menu to choose from.Parking: The parking lot is huge and is only for Tipsy Burro - you shouldn't have any issues parking.Kid-friendliness: They didn't seem to have a kid's menu, but our 12 year-old pescatarian found plenty on the menu to choose from.“
“I booked Black Moth Bars for my Asheville wedding last weekend and I can honestly say it was the best/my favorite wedding decision that we made. We rented the green camper and did two signature cocktails with the team. From the beginning it was such a pleasurable experience. Sam and Rachel and the whole team were so communicative, professional, friendly, and were quick to answer any questions I had in a timely manner, whether that was through email, text, or hopping on the phone. When it came to picking out our signature cocktails, we had so much fun traveling to Charlotte to meet Sam. We were given 4 full cocktails each to sample and choose from which was such a fun experience. There was even a delicious charcuterie board waiting for us at our tasting!! Sam went above and beyond for us and I am so grateful for her. She even went out and bought a frame for me to display our cocktail menu at the bar on the wedding day. On our wedding day, it came as no surprise that the camper bar and the signature drinks were the talk of the night. Sam was open to all my suggestions, helping me decide what kind of "welcome cocktail" to choose, which liquor would be best in our drinks, etc. They even sent over a shopping guide with recommended beers, wines, and liquors which made the entire alcohol purchase process easy and painless. If you're on the fence about booking Black Moth Bars...just DO IT. You will not regret it. Thank you again to the BMB team and we will definitely be stopping by for some cocktails the next time we're in Charlotte!!“
“The bar was purchased by new owners last year and things have improved dramatically! I always have a great experience with the bartenders, especially Jesse, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The old setup was uncomfortable and dirty, but now the dance floor and stage area have been redone, and opened up, and a new main bar installed. The bathrooms were expanded and rebuilt, and a new lounge area created on the side of the dance floor. Honestly other than the name, little of the former club still exists inside. They also started having regular theme and event nights, and the new owners have been good about posting their themes and events on Instagram and their website, so you can find out in advance.“
“From the atmosphere to the food everything exceeded our expectations. We ordered different small plates to try a variety. The wings, cauliflower bites, ribeye, bang bang shrimp were all delicious. The fries weren't your liking, but everything else was flavorful and top tier.“
“Wonderful service. This restaurant isn’t my type and i ended up not liking what I originally ordered(not because something was wrong with it, i just didn’t like it) and regardless of that the waiters and manager still made sure I ordered something else that I’d enjoy. It’s hard for me to know what to order here since it’s not my style. The order i replaced it with was delicious. The bison burger is the bomb.There doesn’t seem to be a niche with the menu though and that was another thing i struggled with. The options to me were quite random, but that’s another reason i had a hard time knowing what to order. My only feedback is to niche the menu so it makes more sense and speaks to a specific target audience. For example, I didn’t understand why there was one random Indian dish when the rest of the entrees aren’t Indian or Asian dishes.“
“The drinks were amazing! They've got a decent selection of mocktails too. The service was good, however, it did feel like our waitress was bothered by us despite needing minimal help over the evening. I would've liked to see more variety in the small plates. The food we had was delicious. I absolutely hated the fact that they put the spicy crab on top of these pebbles in a dark restaurant. They looked like legumes because it was dark and half the table accidentally chewed on rocks.“
“Nice decor and location, the food was good, had the slow braised lamb flat bread , the Slow Braised Beef Short Rib Skewers, the street corn fries and boozy ice cream sandwiches, I didn't care much about the later but the food and the drink selection was good , will definitely be back.“
“The Horseshoe is a gem hidden! They've got it all – screens everywhere, quick service, and food and drinks that hit the spot. The food is really upscale bar food. I got the chicken Alfredo and my wife got lemon pepper wings with well seasoned fries. I have become a regular here and every time I try something new they never disappoint me.Vegetarian options: beyond burger offered“
“We went here for a drink and a snack before we went to the movies in the area. They have plenty of parking. The staff were friendly. The place is small they had about 10-15 tables in there. It's wasn't busy when we went. It's a nice little spot to grab a beer or drink and chill. Their menu isn't crazy. It's nice for like tenders and other snacks just like bar food to snack on. The place was nice we will be back.“
“We stopped in on a quiet Wednesday evening. There was one other couple sitting at the bar, so we sat just down from them. The bar tender was kind and attentive, making our drinks and chatting with us. I enjoyed my mule, and there were several beers on tap, too. They have a food menu with some snacks, though we didn't try any this time. There were old movies and video games playing on the TVs. The space was decorated nicely to feel like you were stepping into a new alcove/world. There's parking nearby and it's close to the Scaleybark stop (no drinking and driving!). I hope this place gets more foot traffic on busier days! It's a bit hard to see as it's in the middle of the shopping plaza. As LoSo grows, I think it'll become a nice destination.“
“They have some great pasta dishes. I don't have a lot of time to write and share a more detailed review with you at the moment but, I will do that as soon as I catch a chance today. Whiskey Warehouse definitely deserves it. So for now, I give it 20 Stars.“
“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!“
