Kudos to cooks & staff !!!Parking: Parking is easy in & out plenty parking .. if your lookin for out of this world meal this is place to go, exceptional food dishes & soo worth the stop in“
“Brusters is great! The flavor variety is hard to match around here. It's good that some staples stay, but also, a lot of them change for people to come back and try some more! I recommend the raspberry truffle, can't miss that.My only grudge with brusters is that it seems like they've been adding more sugar to the mix lately, and I don't particularly enjoy that. It also seems like the teenagers working behind the window are always overworked and understaffed. The place almost always has a small line.It's nice to sit down around the back and share your ice cream with friends and family!“
“I go here multiple times a week and have never been disappointed. The coffee, pastries, and the staff are all wonderful. Highly recommend to anyone nearby.Vegetarian options: Not a single thing there that wouldn’t be vegetarianDietary restrictions: They offer different types of milk if you may be allergic, or lactose intolerant. There’s no meat in the shop, and I’ve only ever seen one item that contains nuts, but there could be more I haven’t noticed.Parking: At first glance it doesn’t seem like there’s a ton of parking, but there is plenty, and also plenty of exits depending on how you like to converge into traffic.Kid-friendliness: The people are incredibly kind to the kids, and there are plenty of pastries and other drinks besides coffee for any kids. I’ve seen plenty of parents in the shop, and there’s never been any issues“
“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 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!!?“
“Excellent spot for tasty beers! The location is perfect - big things are happening in downtown Monroe! The space is gorgeous and provides a perfect place to chill and relax or catch the live music that happens during the month in downtown.The beers are some of the best around. We haven’t had a single one yet that we didn’t like or LOVE!There’s usually a food truck parked nearby and they’ve all been on point and delicious!Fun fact: the brewery is dog-friendly!So, Charlotte peeps - pack up Spot’s treats & water and make the drive to Americana. It’s absolutely worth it!“
“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.“
“Inviting atmosphere and very hospitable employees. Every need is met with concern and kindness. Beverages are delightful, clean environment and good energy. Encouraging staff to those in need (hence needing a drink during a tough work day) Would definitely come back again and again and again. ?“
“Such friendly people, with amazingly delicious food. Seriously, so good! Best burgers we have EVER had, anywhere! We have been customers at their food truck, and now the cafe as well. I really appreciate the availability of gluten free buns!“

“Came in for the first and was greeted by a very kind woman and her daughter who own this place. I tried the salted Carmel hot coco with the cinnamon pretzel bites with dulce de leche dip omg perfect combination especially for this cold weather I highly recommend you stop by, they have lots of other cool items on there menu I’d have to come back and try something new next time!!“
“My boyfriend brought me here as a surprise for date night and I felt like a kid in a candy store! The concept is my favorite part and it works so smoothly! The woman was so nice to help me, explain the system and what she recommends based on the beers I drink. I will be back again again anytime I come to town!“
“Anytime I am in the vicinity of Brakeman’s, no matter if I need it or not, it’s coffee time. It’s a quaint little home that they turned into a full-fledged business. The concept is locomotives, so the interior exposed brick, hard metal accent pieces, and even names of beverages all point in the same direction. The customer service is incredible and usually has the same faces, so getting to know the staff on a first name basis is very common. The bakery they contract with is a local non-profit and puts out amazing products. They also have other food related items for purchase for convenience. Where it all matters, because upscale coffee shops are white noise these days, the beans and roast are impeccable. I’ve tried a little bit of everything on their menu and the espresso is very high level. I highly recommend the Ticket to London. Pricing is on-point and reasonable considering the quality of product and location of business. What I really enjoyed, just as much as the rest of the aforementioned aspects, was the customer demographic. You get a variety of everyone in there, but yet it doesn’t feel overcrowded, overhyped, or commercialized. It’s just a good local spot with great coffee and top shelf staff. I highly recommend. Rating A“
“Have been here before and its such an enjoyable experience! Love the vibe inside and bartenders are always friendly and helpful. They have gingers revenge on tap which i was thrilled about but also tried other beers and all were delicious! They also now have snacks for purchase including pimiento cheese and gluten free options as well!!“
“The food was excellent. Several choices for wine and the pinot from Washington was a good one. Our server knew the wines and was able to explain their characteristics. The menu could be more expansive; however, there is still something for everyone.“
“turkey Rueben was good but not great, the kraut was only in the middle of the sandwich so when cut in half it was a little bit on each side but if you don't really like the kraut- this is perfect to get the flavor but not the actual kraut - the bread was great and the turkey was good! Def will be back.Parking: lots of parking available -easy to get in and out“
“Right as I walked in I was greeted with 4 dudes wearing batman capes, they asked me if I was looking for a friend because I seemed "lonely".... I walked right out that door back to my vehicle, I was trying to unlock it when they approached me and said "If you don't get on all fours and beg for this drink I'll knock you out" So as he said that I replied with: "Sure thing, let me put my keys in the car" so I opened my door and grabbed my Glock 22 red-dot and told them to back off. One of the dudes started reaching in his pockets and pulled and a freaking 8 inch sword, so I took cover behind my car and gave orders to drop the sword. At that moment two PD officers saw what was taking place and helped me, as they were yelling the other three dudes pulled out their sword, And I was about to cry omlll. After 10 minutes and 5 more officers, we got the suspects in custody. They were all released the next day without charges, only because they were higher than ur mom after he ate taco bell. I was gifted free food for life from this restaurant and would definitely recommend reaching out to me so I can gift you some free food!!“
“What a fantastic restaurant and bar. The food and service is better than you can ask for, (ask for Lauren, Hannah, Sam or Maria) the ambiance and dress of staff offers a new and fun take. Steampunk without being overwhelming and Edgar Allen Poe mixed in the best way possible. I would suggest the Irish Nachos with Beef. Any of their burgers are a solid choice. Finding it hard to see anything wrong with this place, hopefully they will continue to expand, but come see these guys because this is the best one!“
“Tegan and Cookie, best bartenders EVER!!!!This place has AMAZING drinks AND prices, yet the customer service is uncanny!!You'll laugh and feel like you're meant to be here. Meanwhile, you'll meet the nicest and most friendly people imagable!And YOU ARE MEANT TO BE HERE!!!Only, IF YOU CAN FIND IT!!! ???If you can find it, you've just found your new and favorite watering hole!!!Congratulations!!!??? ????? EmilieParking: You'll be glad you came!!!“
“Although it was cold, we sat outside with our puppy and 4 kids. Fish and chips was amazing! Katelyn took great care of our large group. Our friends come here all the time, and so glad they shared this lovely spot with us! All the staff were very friendly. Everyone was happy with food choice… next time I’ll get the Reuben, “
“Amazing little place to take your kids or if you are craving any chuchería, the got an ample menu from ice cream to Maruchan locas, price is reasonable and the place is also super clean. If you live in the area I recommend 100% and if you’re visiting the area you can leave without trying their food.“
“Staff was super friendly and helpful. The margarita pizza was fast and tasty. Love the buffalo mozzarella ! Open table seating / order up front. Little fixens over by the beverage machines. Also had to sip on the side of marinara (so good ). It’s definitely a family friendly happening spot.“
“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.“
“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.“

“Nice spot in the middle of little Mint Hill. Outside seating has heat and fans as needed. Because of the proximity to the road it can be a little loud but if you know that going in, it's not really a problem. We always bring our pup so we have never sat inside but it does have a nice vibe. Service is always good and food is good as well. A large selection of wine so I feel certain that you will find something you like.....Unless you don't drink wine;-)“
“Aqua e Vino stands out with its superb ambiance, offering a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. The food is a delight, with every dish showcasing culinary expertise and attention to detail. The inviting atmosphere is complemented by an impressive wine selection, providing the perfect accompaniment to a flavorful meal. Whether you're drawn in by the cozy setting, the delectable cuisine, or the well-curated wine options, Aqua e Vino promises an exceptional dining experience for those with a taste for both exquisite food and refined surroundings.“
“Found this place while looking for a new spot on a Sunday evening. The beer was great, and this is the only brewery or bar I’ve been to in the Charlotte area that has decent lighting. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and friendly and kind. Definitely recommend.“
“As a vegetarian this is by far my favorite breakfast place in Charlotte. Great people, quaint little area, and incredible food. From their breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese, hash brown, and vegan sausage on their house Bolilo or the vegan buffalo chix sandwich with house ranch, as well as the great smoothies and coffee....this place rocks.Vegetarians/Vegans in Charlotte, NC who have not had a chance to step in and have a bite in the cozy atmosphere with the great owner/staff are missing out big-time!Vegetarian options: Plentiful, and delicious!Dietary restrictions: Very catering to all needs, as all items seem quite customizable with many substitutes available across the board!Parking: Plentiful, and easy!Wheelchair accessibility: Oof, this is the one and only place where I am uncertain as someone who does not use a wheelchair...the interior seating areas are rather cramped, and I barely can walk between tables (e.g. to/from the condiment area or from the ordering area to tables/bar by the window) without turning sideways. There are outside tables, though, for folk in wheelchairs. I imagine (given how kind, accommodating owners are) that space could be made inside or a table moved to the interior front entrance area!“
“I cannot say enough of how incredible the atmosphere, the culture and the people are all about Red Carpet Treatment ? It’s just amazing here and to me it is the best coffee ever!Please Open up more I’m thinking Huntersville would be a Grrrreat Location! ?“
“Pretty tasty crab cake. I ordered the crab cake sandwich and added a side of cole slaw. Everything was good. The crab cake was flavorful but I think I would've liked a touch more seasoning. The flavor that was there was good but I like things kicked up a notch. The cole slaw was good. I really liked it. It was fresh and the combination of cabbage and spices was good. I think I tasted small bites of apple in it and that was a great surprise. I'd definitely swing by here again for a second sandwich.“
“Chin Chin 2 is amazing! I’m so happy for this new Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood, I live by Albemarle rd, in the Meadowbrook park community area, and I’m so happy that this new restaurant opened close to our community. The food is very delicious, very similar in flavor to the Chinese food in New York, the young lady over the phone is very polite, helpful and takes the order very quickly! The delivery gentleman is amazing! Very polite, even though he was surrounded by my irresponsible neighbors, two pitbulls, the delivery gentleman kept calm, and delivered my food, I’m very thankful for this! As long as I live in the Charlotte area, Chin Chin 2 will continue having my business, I highly recommend this restaurant, A+++. Delicious food, fast delivery, friendly staff, the best!“
“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.“
“The extensive gluten free menu is perfect for my husband who is gluten intolerant. He ordered the Maxx burger gluten free with truffle french fries. I had the crab topped haddock with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Our server Chris was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me pick out a nice glass of chardonnay. We will definitely be back.

“Awesome unexpected joint on the highway after a weekend trip. Burgers and fries were awesome(smash style with their own secret sauce. Even had fresh baked cookie for desert! Fed 2 for under $24! Great service. No dine in but picnic tables are available.“
“I had the pleasure of collaborating with this business for a fundraiser on my university’s campus and they were amazing! The customer service was great and the owners were very responsive. It was a great experience and I hope to make it a regular occurrence!!“
“MaryGrace is so lovely and made my day. She is such a class act! It is because of your epic staff, LGBTQIA support, your perfect working space, the vibe, all of it is just right! As a broker, it is a wonderful place to meet with my mentor and meet with clients! Great wifi, friendly staff that's like family, and I just love being there and plan on coming in soon!“
“So, i tell them to make it as spicy as they can. I tell them that i eat things that make people from nepal turn purple. They say "10?", i say "as spicy as possible". King of spicy right?Turns out the 10 is a 2. I might need to show them the difference between nc spicy and sc spicy.Really good food overall and nice people.Better food than almost anyone.“
“Staff was helpful and friendly. The “Sinatra” was tasty. The portion was small for the price. I was disappointed with only having Coke products to choose from. The tables had “clean/dirty” signs that I felt was a nice touch. All and all a solid experience.“

“Do you like a smooth sweet but not too over the top coffee? Brakeman's Honey Bee Latte is for you! I am sure their other drinks are fab but this is the drink I purchased a minimum of 5 times in my weekend sun the greater Charlotte area. Even when the place was busy, the baristas kept their positive and upbeat attitudes about them. It made the experience that much better. Plus, you have cute items and decor to view if you have to wait for your coffee which doesn't happen often given how quick the baristas are.“
“Li’s is an awesome restaurant close to Matthews. A couple years ago, they were only taking to-go orders, but they are back open and the dining space is very cordial. The cashier lady/waitress is extremely friendly and the food comes out super quick! I highly recommend this spot!“
“Resident culture brewing Company is a fantastic location. The afternoon that we were there all the doors were open, full of families, groups, and couples, and even had a DJ outside. Beer is good staff is super friendly, taproom is clean. If you’re only visiting a few breweries, have a couple hours to kill definitely put this one the top of your list.“
“Place is amazing, beautiful and fun. Staff was attentive and friendly. Outside seating area is incredibly inviting and band was great. Prices are fair and good and drink quality was fantastic. Nothing but good things to say about this hole in the wall heaven.Parking: Plenty of spaces in the free lot or on the street for free tooKid-friendliness: Not a place for kids after about 8 pm but for lunch or normal dinner time it would be appropriate“
“First tried dining here for a date night, we really loved it so we went back for a family brunch and our little girl absolutely loved it! Our server Andrew was awesome too! From appetizer rangoons, to our yuzu sodas, the entrees (dang! that char siu is the best), and the dessert... customizing our bubble waffles was definitely the highlight!☺“
“Went on Friday night. Bar was wide open. Bartender Sam is kind and hilarious. He recommended the whole menu. I forgot the name of the one I got, but oh my. The dough is so fresh, and the ingredients melt so yummy together. Definitely will go back. Im eating the leftovers right now. Popped the pizza in the oven, and it's as good as yesterday.“
“I've been around CM ever since I was a little kid. Being able to go regularly as an adult feels just as exciting, but now I can actually drink the beers. Deli is amazing as always, so fresh and delicious. No better place to grab a beer and sub in all of Charlotte.Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to cow dairy, and their vegan section has been a savior.“
“I love this neighborhood pub. Friendly service, great wings, amazing prices and a warm & friendly environment. We come here often. Standard pub fare - wings, burgers, flatbreads, appetizers, etc. we love the wings. The tater tots and onion rings and fries are all crispy and delicious. A great spot to watch sports. Don't come if Alabama is playing football. They were slammed busy today at 5pm due to basketball and the service didn't suffer for it. The place was full plus a birthday party and UNC game followed by a NC State game and staff rocked it. Bravo!“
“I had an incredible experience at The Pizza Peel! The pizza was beyond amazing—so delicious that it nearly brought my partner and me to tears. The flavors were rich and authentic; the texture was superb. Our waiter was exceptionally sweet and attentive, enhancing our overall dining pleasure I believe their name was Luis. A must-visit for pizza enthusiasts! Literally will come back to charlotte just for this pizza, not kidding if I could give it 10 stars would.“
“If you haven't had the pleasure of trying this phenomenal restaurant in maxhaw please trust me, I'm a foodie and holy cow it's consistently amazing! The owners are the best and truly take ownership in this place! You won't be disappointed ?“
“The bartender brian, is the most laid back person ever. Maybe alittle reserved but if you get the chance to get into a conversation with him, hes a pleasure to talk too. I appreciated everything about his conversation and service! Will be back again.“
“My first time here this morning. Arrived at 11:10 Saturday morning to pick up sausage for a birthday cookout. I asked if they were still serving breakfast. The super nice lady said yes and I ordered a couple bagel sandwiches. They had 4 or 5 flavors of sausage and they are prepackaged 4 to a pack. I bought bratwurst and it was $13 for 4. We haven't eaten them yet so can't comment on those. Those sandwiches though!!! Best breakfast sandwich I've ever eaten. The bacon was perfectly salty and crisp. The everything bagel was DELICIOUS! I asked for our eggs to be cooked hard, no runny yolk for me, and they cooked them just like I asked. My husband really enjoyed his pastrami and egg bagel but after trying my bacon, he said mine was better. The sandwiches were about $7 each but everything is fresh and high quality. It's worth the price. We can wait to come back!“
“We lived near Grapes Bistro & Wine Bar for many years, but never visited until recently. I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner. We had a perfectly chilled bottle and split several appetizers with friends. The cranberry and goat cheese was excellent, as was the pimento cheese and marinated olives. We ended by splitting a mushroom flatbread. Our experience was nothing short of excellent.Parking: Lots of parking for the entire shopping area“
