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!“

“Great place for a quiet evening out. Food was amazing.“

“My favorite steakhouse. It has a 1950's/60s decor and menu, but it's genuine, not just a recreation. The place has been in continuous operation at the same location since 1960-something. The food and service are excellent, and considering the quality of both, the prices are reasonable. Morton's, Del Frisco's, Ruth's Chris are all good, but Beef 'n Bottle is even better.“

“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!“

“I enjoy years of celebrating my family Birthdays at Capital grill. The Staff is amazing. The General Manager European Elegance every thing is spectacular! My favorite is the Armenian Breads! Only Capital grilled! So Elegant and Delicious I feel like on London in this restaurant! The Queen City of Charlotte best served restaurant! The Hostess are stunning beautiful. Wow. All the waiters college educated and college students. This is the best a hospitality Restaurant ever! Is Magnificent! The General Manager sweet! Congratulations“

“I love boil in a bag it was delicious and serve in a timely matter waiter was very well matter“

“We had an amazing dinner here during Queens Feast. Highly recommend for a date night as the atmosphere is extremely warm and romantic. Great drinks as well, and the food of course was delicious and extremely fresh.“

“Love the food here! I’ve had both the salmon and chicken plates. I was slightly disappointed that you only get like half of a chicken breast with a normal portion, that you’d have to purchase “double” protein for a full piece of chicken breast. Regardless, the food is delicious and flavorful. Tastes fresh each time and I will definitely try more dishes!“

“We went to Dressler’s tonight for my husband’s Birthday. We had never been but wanted to try it since we loved their old Dogwood concept. Michelle was our waitress and truly made the evening so special. She was so knowledgeable around the menu and so attentive and fun. The food was exceptional. I had the waygu flank special and he had the 16oz ribeye. The shrimp appetizer was a great way to start and the apple crisp was a perfect ending to the meal. We were so excited to see the manager from the old Dogwood concept working there. She is so great too. Thank you for having such an amazing space that can make nights so memorable.“

I would definitely eat here more if I lived near. Hostess was very polite all around great place. Chicken was tender and moist.“

“All items were freshly cooked and seasoned well. I loved my fried lobster tails and fried shrimp. The rest the party enjoyed their seafood boils as well. Great customer service.“

“The Ugly is the ultimate pregame spot in Charlotte! Elite dive bar vibes with insanely cheap beers—$2–$3 a piece—and bartenders who are just super chill. Perfect for kicking off a night out, and the location is unbeatable, just steps from the light rail. A must-visit next to Idlewild!

Disclaimer: they do not serve food.“

“Update in May 2026:
Another favorable experience at Mico, this time at the bar. Autumn was our server and she was excellent! We had the parmesan fries, the Caesar salad, the filet medallions on a skewer and the grilled brussel sprouts. The food was exceptional! Also, the wine menu has something for everyone.

Dec 2023:
What a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary with Maha as our server. She did an incredible job and made us feel like valued guests.. Our fillets were cooked perfectly and all of our food was delicious. Also tried the Malbec flight, which did not disappoint. Highly recommend Mico,, especially for a special occasion.

We ate here twice in the lounge during our stay at the hotel. Both times the service was very good (thank you Mikey and Chelsea) and the food was delicious. The wine list is also pretty awesome! Some of the food we had that was delicious was the gazpacho soup, the 8 Oz filet, the scallops and most of the desserts.“

“Tried it today for the first time, but it DEFINITELY won’t be the last time! Amazing food, great atmosphere, incredible service, unbeatable prices. Fantastic all around!!“

“Amazing Vibe ~ Food ~Drinks & People I Truly Enjoyed Everything About This Establishment & Will Definitely Be Back🥂 Oh & I Can't Forget How Attentive The Waiter Was ,I Requested A Mango Lemon Drop & Got Just That Although That Was Their First Time & The Cook Came Out To Apologize About A Mishap That He Immediately Rectified 10/10 Recommend 🤗“

“Excelente lugar , muy buena atención y no digamos la comida ufff una delicia se los recomiendo 👌 😉 👍🏾“

“excelente restaurant, mi favorito, me pareció amable y muy atenta la atención de Valeria.“

“Easy to get into but took a while to find it once inside the gate. I took a picture to show where these guys are. So much from for parking and overnight parking.

Peoffesional and communicative. They open qr 7 am to unload. We had a 7 am appointment and came early. They took about 45 minutes to clean the dock and within a few minutes unloaded the few pallets we had.

No bs, just good work and friendly. Thanks“

“Chicken & waffles were delicious also the shrooms. Service was also great“

“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.“

“I've been coming to Mr 3s since it was in gastonia but I've only been to this location twice. They only do walk ins. So if you are trying to call in an order you'll be wasting your time. Beside that the service and food has always been good. I love getting the cash only deals. They have the deals Wednesday thru Saturday. The deals are worth the money. They also have there homemade drinks. In my opinion the blue raspberry lemonade is the best.“

“Went today for the first time with my daughter. The seafood boil was awesome. I had crab legs, shrimp and crawfish with medium Cajun sauce. Really enjoyed the flavor and the staff was great!“

“I love Po Boy’s Low Country Seafood.
They offer a variety of delicious fried options such as flounder, perch, red snapper, whiting, shrimp oysters and more.
One of my favorites is the fried oysters with regular seasoning. They are so delicious and tenderly cooked with just the right amount of crispness. They can be purchased in a Po Boy’s sandwich or plate with sides. I like to purchase fried oysters by the half pound. I always order their delicious sweet tea and they offer free refills!
Friendly staff!“

“Great food with exceptional service“

“So glad I found this place on our travels. Delicious food and friendly service. McKayla and Tony were wonderful!“

“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!“
