“Absolutely blown away by our experience at The One Tapas. Every dish was beautifully executed you can truly taste the attention to detail. The flavor profiles feel elevated and refined, when you pull in and see this hidden gem you would never expect for the fine dining experience you are about to receive. What really made the evening stand out was the personalized service and ambiance. The staff took the time to walk us through the menu, offer thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcomed the entire time. Between the exceptional food and the attentive service, this was easily a five-star experience. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates refined flavors and a memorable dining experience.”

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.”

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. NOTHING on page saying you are closed, even said you are open till 10pm! What the hell?! Somebody is going to fix this issue! And not just with a free appetizer!”

“Awesome little neighborhood place. Burger and Wings were sooo good. Our server Olivia was more than pleasant. Visiting from out of state but will for sure come back next time we're in the area.”

“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”

“Good food affordable and the tacos have thoughtful combinations that are yummy 😋”

“This is a great place. Sevice was great, my family and went for lunch fodd was amazing, drinks where on point and the salsa was so good. This place is fat boy approved.”

“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.”

“OUR FAVORITE MEXICAN FOOD EVER!!!! Their food can’t be beat! The service is amazing too! My husband is always floored with their food, tonight he even clapped! Haha! If you haven’t gone, goooo!”

“Amazing custom European cakes and desserts.”

“Went for first time today and ordered shrimp fried rice. I must say it was the best shrimp fried rice I have ever eaten!!! Didn’t need to add anything for flavor or anything and I ate it warm due to having to make a stop before I got home!! I will definitely be back this weekend! A hidden gem for sure”

“This is one of the best coffee shops I’ve found in a long time. I ordered two of their seasonal drinks—the Peach Basil Matcha and the Red, White & Blueberry Latte—and both completely won me over. The flavors were unique, refreshing, and incredibly well-balanced.

You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients in every sip. The matcha was especially impressive—velvety smooth and rich, unlike many I’ve had elsewhere.

The hype around their scones is absolutely real. I’d never tried one before, but it was buttery, savory perfection. I highly recommend grabbing one with your drink.

I also ordered a chicken salad wrap for lunch, and it was a 10/10. Honestly, everything we tried was delicious. If you’re in the area—or even if it’s a bit of a drive—this place is absolutely worth the trip. Don’t miss it!”

“Delicious! The chocolate orange was incredible!!! We will definitely be back”

“I'm addicted to the gyro plates and baklava cheesecake 😍😍😍 the Matthews location is the best around, hands down... always quick, polite, and delicious 🤤🤤🤤”

“My traditional Greek salad didn't have any Kalamata olives in it. So disappointed!”

“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!!”

“Clean place with a tremendously delicious food at affordable prices. Employees like Nicolas, Alejandro y Santiago will make you feel like family, they will always walk that extra mile making sure that you are satisfied with your order. Staff like this is hard to find and it will keep customers going back over and over again. There was not a single dish that didn’t taste amazing. I am highly recommending this nice place to anyone ready to have a perfect time, eating a top class meal, under a great management . Thank you so much.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Excellent customer service!”

“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 girlfriend and I frequent this Thai Taste because its very nostalgic for us because we grew up in the one in Dilworth. Cass our server was amazing and made us feel right at home. I always recommend the Duck and Pad Thai. The service was phenomenal and you can tell they bring a family feel to the restaurant!!”

“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.”

“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”

“Get the chicken Parm every time, plus a calzone to go. calzones are as big as my head!! get 4 meals out of this! plus the garlic knots are to die for!!”

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

“This is our go to spot for Mexican food. Always delicious. Friendly staff as well! Great menu for kids.”

“Visited Matthews, NC few days ago and had lunch here. 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)). Service was great, and washrooms were clean. The place has a really cool vibe to it, looks like one would feel at home there while watching sports on one of the many screens.”

“What a great experience! A true taste of Buffalo! We had the pizza and wings, And both were wonderful! Would highly recommend. We will be back!”

“We always have a good experience. The food is good and the staff is great”

“Our group has eaten here several times. The service and food have always been good; and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, we were joined by a cockroach. We ended up taking our food to go. Doubt we will be going back.”

“Food with real Caribbean flavor, I felt like I was in Puerto Rico.”

“I always pass this and never went in , tonight I stoped in and told the gentleman working which ones I’ve tried at other locations and asked what he would recommend … I asked what the tiger teas were and he said they were brown sugar based . I got the black tiger and OMG was this tasty and delicious! I like that they have a points system as well. I am not sure how it works or if they have an app but I am super excited to come back and try more !!! Very clean inside as well.”

“I stumbled on this restaurant and I’m so grateful that I did. It’s an intimate place and the food is DELICIOUS. I’m picky about what I eat and lately most restaurants I leave feeling disappointed.

Not here at Li’s, I ordered chicken lo mein and it was fresh & hot, my husband ordered Shrimp fried rice and it was the best he ever had. Notice he ate all the shrimp before I could snap the picture 😂

You could taste that it was cooked to order.”

“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”

“Very authentic, great Chicago bread”

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

“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 🙌”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Very clean establishment, friendly staff, and the food is delicious. I especially appreciate the attention to detail. When it comes to separating the tree nuts from the rest of the bar ( i'm allergenic, and because they were in a completely separate container i felt comfortable accessing a lot more parts of the the toppings.)”

“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”

“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”

“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”

“We have been going to Osaka's for a number of years. They updated their menu recently as well as the quality of their product. The new menu and the changes to their product has been exceptional. It is our No. 1 place for Sushi in the area. I highly recommend it.”

“Excellent service and very delicious food”

“They were super cool with my husband's service dog. Food was awesome. staff were friendly and nice. Would eat there again next time we are traveling through.”

“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!”

“They have false advertising on 10% on the wall and then refuse to give it. Otherwise they are fine”

“The quintessential Mexican restaurant with a reliable and familiar menu. It's no frills with solid food quality and quantity. The service is excellent and great prices. Don't miss this place!”

“my family has been coming here since this place opened many years ago. Their food always hits! My favorite thing to order has always been the general tso's”

“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.”

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

“We have been coming to best wok since 2001 it has been the best chinese fast food since I have been eating Chinese food.
..I grew up in the sardis rd area in 2000 and when we left the hospital in mattews after having my baby in 2010 my 1st meal was best wok II...... I get the chicken mixed vegatable and its amazing and my husband gets the extra spicy hunan beef....the owner remembers us everytime!!! We love bestwok II!!”

“Love the owners and the food. Highly recommended”

“Great place for a light, fresh breakfast.”

“I was thrilled to find a Mod Pizza while traveling. The employees were kind. My only reservation was that the glass doors and windows were very dirty. Besides me, there was only one other customer eating inside. As someone that used to be in Management, my thought was that the employees had plenty of time in their hands to be cleaning.”

“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 !”

“Today 5/30/26 we encountered the rudest group of individuals dining during lunch. They were being 100% disrespectful to the employee running the front area. I wish I had gotten her name but she handled the situation with complete grace. To those individuals, you should be ashamed for bringing your no home training to a public place.”

“Great customer service! They accidentally made my mom’s order wrong, but immediately offered to remake her sandwich with no hesitation. The food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be back. Keep up the great work, Five Guys!”

“My family and I went in on Monday . Missis Tammy was very professional and gave us excellent service . Tammy deserves a raise she definitely gave excellent service”

“The ice cream sundae I had was delicious!”

“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.”

“Pretty good Chinese take out compared to the others around me on the other end of mint hill / lawyers road. Would definitely recommend this to those in the area.”

“This Chick-fil-A is our go-to location. Not far from us & conveniently located. We love getting dinner here & it’s one of our go-to dinner spots. Love that they had a Valentine’s Day themed heart shaped container. My husband surprised me with this on Valentine’s Day & Chick-fil-A breakfast from this location. Love the location, food, & service.”

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

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Drunken noodles. It was a substantial portion and the noodles were perfect mix of elasticity, smoothness, chewiness. The sauce was an exquisite blend of flavors with mild spicyness. I just wish it was a bit more saucy the noodles dried out quickly. My husband ordered the kungpao chicken which was expertly prepared. The sauce was sweet, sour and spicy all the same time. I couldn't decide which new dish I enjoyed more.

The server was very patient with our indecision as we wanted to try something new and gave us suggestions. We appreciated her attentive service. There were customers at several tables and she managed to attend to us often. The restaurant was pleasing, quiet and comfortable. Definitely going back for more drunken noodles.”

“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”

“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”

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