Restaurants in Matthews

“Nate was amazing! Helped picked out the best food, super kind and hospitable!

The food was so good after a long day! I got the bourbon bacon burger with truffle fries, highly recommend it!”

“It’s the REAL deal. I had the cold soba noodle soup (hard to find at most Korean restaurants) AND it hit the spot. Not to mention, PRETTY MUCH everything that was served at the tables around me, looked AMAZING. Yeah, I was looking. HARD not too…when the smell, the sizzle, and presentation looked bomb as FRICK. I’ll be back to try it.”

“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.”

“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.”

Even though WT Harris location is closer to me, I definitely prefer this location. We only had a light meal of the wings, shrimp and a side salad, but everything was good.”

“Today placed an order online. Got my total, time to pickup and off my husband went to get our 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!”

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

“I always come here to the Prosperity/Benfield Location but tonight it wasn’t decent. I’ll still come back but disappointed cause they wouldn’t answer their phone. I’m allergic to mushrooms. My Rice wasn’t cooked thoroughly”

“Platform Coffee is such a great spot. The coffee was really good, and the customer service was honestly the best part. Ryan and Sarah both helped me and they were so friendly and welcoming, definitely made the whole visit better.

“Great staff. Friendly and accommodating. This location is my favorite but the other locations are pretty good as well, but this is my favorite location. Staff always takes care of me. Anna and Rebecca are awesome”

“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.”

“Fresh & delicious! Great, quick service. Definitely a sub above ��”

“Food is always good and service is prompt and courteous.”

“Amazing custom European cakes and desserts.”

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

“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.”

“Been to this Kpot many times, Eric was by FAR the best server me and my wife have ever had. Extremely personable, on top of his table to a point where I thought the guy was psychic. However much he's being paid, he needs more. Knows his stuff and will for a fact bring people back in no matter what.
Cheers Eric.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Hosted a Milestone birthday on 9/13/25 with 50 people and it was AMAZING! From the initial planning all the way to the night of the party, Bobby, Scotty and the entire staff were impeccable! Everyone who attended is STILL talking about how great it was. I HIGHLY recommend for a Private gathering. We love Stumptown Station!”

“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 🤤🤤🤤”

“Great location and atmosphere! Old school irish pub in the back, upscale downtown bar in the front, and lots of outdoor seating!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great service! Great food!! The owners are fabulous!!”

“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.”

“Excellent customer service!”

“Tudo na padaria e feito com profissionalismo e qualidade, pois os produtos são feitos com carinho para servir os clientes. Muito obrigado, e sejam bem vindos a padaria brasileira Tropical bakery.”

“Awesome sushi and affordable prices”

“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.”

“The chorizo was good the sausage was amazing! The empanadas was okay a bit dry for me. but the star of the show was the WAFFLE!! It was amazing wow but there was a piece of hair in it but i chose to ignore it because of the taste. They are pretty quick and nice.”

“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”

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

“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.”

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

“Vibrant, happy atmosphere, is a delicious way to nourish myself in a hurry.”

“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!!”

“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”

“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.”

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

“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”

“My wife, granddaughter and I love this restaurant! We always order the green tea, garlic bok choy with rice, shrimp spring rolls, Singapore noodles, veggie, shrimp or chicken curry.

Their bok choy is the best in Charlotte! Everything we’ve ordered for the past two+ years has always been so fresh and delicious. The service provided by Jean and Shelly is always top notch too. Their restaurant is always so clean and has a stellar sanitation grade between 100 to 98!!

This restaurant is a hidden gem!!

My only very small critiques would be to please:
1. remove the tails from the shrimp and
2. remove the black film from your restaurant windows. The black film makes it look like the restaurant is dark and closed. It doesn’t look inviting from the road/parking lot.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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”

“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.)”

“This is a great venue! The customer sitting area is spaced out! They made me a fantastic salad! She took her time; did her best. The other co-workers gave me eye contact. And we're very laid back. I will strongly consider getting a real salad here. Thanks for powering me up! Yet another day.

-Brother James”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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 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!”

“Ordered through UberEats. Food was amazing, fresh, and hot. Steak was tender and cooked with perfection. Salad was crisp and the broccoli was steamed and seasoned top tier!!”

“Great place for a light, fresh breakfast.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. We had a wonderful dining experience, and everything exceeded our expectations. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Chinese food!”

“I like how qdoba is quick and fast, butttttt nothing can beat the one and only, Ultra Rare!, LEGENDARY, ONE OF A KIND!!!!!,(pause for dramatic effect) CHIPOTLEEEE!!!!(boom)(crackle) AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!(ahhh) (ahhhh). Thank you for having me tonight, it has been a pleasure!! with love, your aunt may🕸”

“Today was nothing short than great. Upon walking in Jade and Audrey were so sweet and in great spirit despite the AC not working. I was very pleased with the laughter and conversation while working, I had my family with me and they had smiles on everyone's face. It was just the kindness that was displayed not only to my family but the other guests that came in as well. A raise sounds like a great gesture to keep good people.”

“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”

“Food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is nice , clean and service was great ! Definitely recommend!”

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