The food was awesome (I had Jalapeno Poppers and Peter Piper burger), and so was the beer selection (I had a really good blonde ale (cannot recall the name unfortunately)).

Pulled up to get food, empty parking lot, no one at window to get food from, sign on door said closed for the day for remodeling.

“Great ice and wonderful staff!! Highly recommend them!! 🍧”

“Been coming here for my birthday since 2022 and I absolutely love it. Big portions and good prices, the food is really nice, but the vibe of the place is the best. Listening to 70s rock on the way always fits, and they play oldies in the restaurant too. Amazing staff, and again just the design of the place is great. Always come here in the evening and enjoy your time.

and it’s got a good record shop next to it called Noble Records. Sells cds records and cassettes and I’ve bought from them after eating a lot. Writing this review right outside in the parking lot actually about to go in south 21.
Overall I suggest it to everyone.”

“Googled nearby coffee and this came up, definitely a gem. Yummy empanadas too”

“I had the Honolulu bowl and it was delicious. Super happy we have a poke place near Mint Hill. I do recommend to bring your small kids in a stroller with a tray, though, since there are no high chairs.”

“I’ve been to just about every Que Onda location around Charlotte, but finally remembered to take photos at the Matthews spot tonight. As a California-born taco lover, I’m almost embarrassed to admit how incredible the tacos are here... because I’ve eaten at just about every hole-in-the-wall from Tijuana and all up and down the East Coast. I know good tacos, and this place absolutely deserves its flowers.

Every single taco was phenomenal, but the steak is out of this world. The flavors are bold, the textures are on point, and the tortillas hold everything together without falling apart, which is a bigger deal than people realize. If you appreciate real tacos and not just “taco-adjacent” food, Que Onda is well worth checking out.”

“We saw a review of them on TikTok and decided to give them a try. The review was positive but does not do them justice! Got the Pickle Ickle Ickle, The Maddie Rita, the Jordan's Jamboree, and the Butter Pecan Cinnamon Sticks, all were fantastic! We will definitely be ordering from them again.”

“Really enjoyed the food! Family ran business, food was great and service felt more like we were family than patrons! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Desmond us an AMAZING bartender. The food and drinks are great, and price is right. Thanks for the AWESOME time!”

“Kim and her kids do a awesome job. Kim has a great heart and the customer service is the best Stop by and enjoy a ICE Cream with your family”

“We stopped by on our way home to New Jersey and WOW what a way to start a road trip! The café con leche is perfection and the chorizo is unbelievable. I should have bought more, I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of our ten hour drive. They are friendly and helpful and patient. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Matthews!”

“Eat there every time we are in the area. We always enjoy the home cooked food. Tonight my husband had the baked chicken with dressing, green beans and black eyed peas. I had the sausage with cabbage, mashed potatoes and black eyed peas. Both meals were delicious!!”

“We had a surprise birthday party for a family member today!! What a great time. We had use of the Queens room, The food was great as usual but I need to bragg especially in our server Jeanette. She was amazing she handled us all with efficiency and grace!! I know we drove her crazy but she was amazing!!!! Thank you John’s place for a wonderful time and again kudos to Jeanette !!!”

“Beyond delicious, great service 5*”

“I’ve been here twice and I can’t stop thinking how authentic the food is. I tried the Spicy Shrimp Wok and the Spicy Beef Broth and I would highly recommend them. I asked to make mine extra spicy and they didn’t disappoint. They also used Szechuan peppercorn in the broth and I loved it.”

Can't go wrong with the daily lunch specials which come with soup and a spring roll, be aware that the lunch mmenu changes daily. You can still order from the regular menu. Cannot say enough good about this place. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family.”

“My husband and I discovered Jets pizza recently. My coworkers told me about this amazing pizza I just had to try. Well let me tell you, jets four corners deep dish pizza is now our favorite pizza EVER!! We are a bit addicted to this place. The staff are always professional and polite. The store is clean and inviting. They are also honest, I left my purse there accidentally and the staff kept it safe till I arrived the next day to pick it up. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants the best pizza in Charlotte.”

“The shrimp fried rice to the sesame chicken and the egg rolls I can’t complain one bit. It as an absolute 10/10. Highly recommend for anybody wanted local Chinese.”

“My experience at ming fu was a perfect one i hands down !! I was met with the best hospitality and the food did not disappoint ! Not only were the prices already a steal during lunch but they had deals on top of that. I got the boneless ribs, egg rolls, and crab rangoon as a appetizer and literally had to stop myself from eating it all before my entrees came out so i didn't get full too soon lol.
For my entree i had the ming fu special, sesame chicken, miso soup, white rice, fried rice , the rock and roll specialty sushi roll , and the spicy mayo California roll. They have a great deal where if you order a main entree you get a free soup or salad, as well as if you order a speciality roll, you get a maki roll free and well as a soup or salad ! (dine in only for soup/salad). The ming fu special was definitely my favorite ! the jumbo shrimp and scallops , the chicken and mixed veggies with the sa-cha sauce was everythingggg ..and it was served super cute on a sizzling plate with the foil shaped as a swan ! The whole experience was more than i expected and ill definitely be returning to try more on the menu!.”

“Down home cooking great variety, Southern Greek foods. Older restaurant with great food and great service. GREAT Service! We have visited several times and they always go over and above our expectations. We quickly noticed that although we may have an assigned table and waitress, the waitresses support one another. A family atmosphere like a friend invited you to "dad & mom's" house for a bite to eat, and mom and the family give it their all.”

“Picked up lunch at 11:30 today and was truly impressed watching Brian single-handedly manage the entire store and every customer. Not another soul was working alongside him. Despite the challenge, he never complained or made excuses. Instead, he seamlessly juggled multiple tasks while remaining exceptionally professional and friendly.”

“Love the owners and the food. Highly recommended”

“I love that my sun can have ice cream, even though he is dairy free”

“My husband and I have had the worst experience's while ordering from this location. We both feel very targeted and it's very obvious. There are flies always on the inside of the store on the different surfaces. The rating is a 97.0. The manager and another employee have been the main two making us feel like we are not welcomed in the store. They go so far as to talk about us very obviously when we're in the store. The customer service from those two is the worst I've had. I've been to other stores around the city and I've not had those problems. It's a shame that paying for items that are not inexpensive comes with uncleanliness, targeting, lack of customer service, and rudeness from employees including the manager. I can gladly spend my money somewhere I'm treated right since I go basically everyday.

Since the negative things that happened in the past in the past review, I have nothing but positivity about every aspect of this location. I'm there very often during the week, and I can honestly say that they go above and beyond to assist customer's needs, provide a clean welcoming atmosphere, and they make sure orders are correct. All while going above and beyond the call of duty. I look forward to going now, and I never leave without smiles and satisfaction. Special kudos to Beth, Lacey, and Zack and all the staff.”

“Delicious fresh food, nice ambiance, and great service. We got steamed dumplings (both pork and vegan), sesame chicken with egg fried rice and pork belly bone broth ramen - everything came out freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. 😋 Thai iced tea was perfectly crafted. This is one of those places you crave and return to again and again because it’s consistent, cozy and delicious.”

“Amazing!!!! The flavors and the quality is perfection!!!”

“I decide to try this out after a walk in the park nearby and was extremely impressed with the quality and service. The staff were extremely friendly and gave great service. Not to mention the prices are completely fair and not crazy expensive. I will absolutely be coming here again”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“great pizza! 4 tvs, Labatts sold here.”

“Food good, Music TOO Load.”

“Excellent service and very delicious food”

“OMG! I have NEVER tasted Muscadine Juice like this! I ordered a carton of 12, I gave 2 away and happily and selfishly kept the other 10, plus the extra bottle given for picking up your order! The owner was a wonderful older man of God 🙌”

“My husband and I have been going to Marios/John’s place for over 30 years and have never had a bad meal. John has done an excellent job from his managers to wait staff and to the wonderful tasting food. I recently had a private party there and every person raved about the food and the hospitality of the restaurant. I cannot thank John enough for making everything perfect. You are definitely missing out if you don’t go there and have a wonderful dinner.”

“The food was delicious.Great atmosphere. Wonderful service and the price is fair. Our server Peter is so kind and patient and he gave us a great service. Thanks so much! We will come back for sure.”

“This was such a great hometown pub experience. The beer was excellent, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive to our needs. The chef, who graduated from Johnson and Wales, created food that was truly outstanding and unlike any pub fare I've ever experienced. The gouda mac and cheese was out of this world! Definitely worth a visit.”

“Christopher's is a good restaurant/bar with good service but lack of military discount was disappointing. 4/5”

“In one way yes we really like the Product, my husband and I have been using the product for 8 years now. On the other had it’s VERY frustrating with our monthly subscription. It Never ships on a timely manner and we end up running out before our shipment even leaves the shipping dock. It makes , buisness travel VERY DIFFICULT when we don’t have our product. Sure wish we could get it figured out SOONER rather than LATER!!”

“The nicest people work here, and make everything with such care. I come here often on my lunch break, and it’s 100% worth it! The BLT is delicious and fresh, and the cookies are so tasty!”

“Have been coming here for several years ever since we moved to Indian Trail. They are always kind and fast, food is great and the woman working there is always accommodating to my dietary needs. Thank you!”

“Saw this place from the street after leaving a deli around the corner . Decided to get some to bring home . Had a bite to sample and was delicious ! Loved that they had a freezer section so could bring those home to sample at another time ! Also saw door dash delivery so after trying all we ordered I’m sure I’ll order more in the future ! Will leave pictures in comments !”

“Great food and great atmosphere.”

“I have always taken my mom to the Golden Corral in Mathews for Thanksgiving since my grandmother passed and this is the cleanest and best Golden Corral I’ve ever been in. The manager runs such a great crew on busy holidays and he overlooks the dining room constantly making sure everybody is happy with service. He communicates very good with everybody and will help out his crew with any service someone needs. Such a great manager during these holiday times and me and my mom really appreciate this guy and all of his crew”

“I usually go there with my son and husband. All three of us have very different taste. this is the only restaurant we no one has to compromise. We all get exactly what we like. Our son likes Sushi, my husband likes Chinese, I like American. We try to go early because it's cheaper and we get a senior discount as well. we help ourselves to the food so there is no wait time. A refill of your drink is done very quickly. The atmosphere is also very nice. No loud music and the waiters a friendly and polite.”

“The ice cream sundae I had was delicious!”

“I got the peppermint frap and my sister got the carmel brulae latte. It was yummy”

“I had the most amazing time at Sweet frog in Matthews. I brought my family here for a special occasion, and the lady working behind the counter made our experience so special we will never forget it! Please give Peggy Jane a raise!”

“Just be prepared to wait for your food. It was over 10 minutes on our food. Not a soul other than us in the restaurant. Drive thru patrons were getting their food faster”

“I’ve eaten here regularly since I was a kid. I’ve never found another restaurant that does the chicken lo mein better than this Best Wok. Everything is delicious and I love that they still use the traditional to-go boxes”

“Great customer service! I choose the cauliflower pizza but Whitney was great by notifying me that it had dairy in it before it was made saved the day! Pizza tastes awesome!”

“I came here on a Saturday night to get a sweet treat. When i walked in there were only a few people inside and there was no wait to make our sundaes. They had a good variety of flavors and toppings. Everything was clean and the staff were friendly. I will definitely come back in the future.”

“Great place for a light, fresh breakfast.”

“Best service & margaritas in town 😊😃😃😃😃”

“We have been going to El Valle for over 20 years. The food is consistently good and the service is simple marvelous. We are friends with most of the staff.....they are all friends.”

“I've been here several times with my girlfriend and our children. Always good, no complaints. Food is fresh and readily available. They also take pizza recommendations for the bar. The only thing I have to say is the small arcade is not at all reasonably priced. Other than that I have no complaints.”

“Chick-Fil-A is one of the last remaining places in the fast food business to not incorporate A.I into their service process, they also are one of the only fast food establishments to hold their employees to a respectful standard. THIS particular Chick-Fil-A… gave me the best experience from a fast food establishment in my 15 years of experience. Michelin star worthy off of service alone.”

“Well, the subs are just incredible, the owner of the business is the kindest person. He remembers you and actually cares about his customers. I highly recommend supporting this business. The food is amazing.”

“It was so great to be back in the restaurant. They stayed takeout only for a long while after Covid and I finally stopped checking to see about dine-in. Very happy to have been able to have dinner inside again! I love the updates to the inside and the food was just as good as I remember. Thank you!”

“Such delicious rice!
Very fresh! Very clean atmosphere....and the young gentleman that greets w/ a genuine smile and an air of kindness helps makes the whole take out experience quite nice.
The chicken/ brocolli and beef/ broccolli are 2 of our favorites.....but the egg rolls!!!! Spectacular!!!! Try this sweet little shoppe soon!!!!”

“Really great tasting subs, my only complaint is that the subs can become a little messy at times, other than that good job and a large selection of different subs and a good rewards program”

“Great atmosphere, wait staff, and....food!! By far, the best authentic Colombian food in Charlotte.”

“The buns were too soft and it seems they grill them and push them flat when you have a large size burger the bread tends to fall apart also the fries could have been cooked harder The floors are slippery as well”

“The food was delicious and the hostess helped me out to my car which I thought was very sweet of her. I didn't get her name but she was the African American lady.”

“Very polite and helpful waiter. Delicious meal with great biscuits and gravy!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍”
