Soul Food Restaurants near Matthews, NC

“Entering The Flying Biscuit Cafe felt like stepping into a cozy haven, where the anticipation of a delightful brunch experience came to mind.As I took my first bite of the French toast, it was as if I was tasting a cloud – airy, light, and delicately sweet. The raspberry sauce drizzled atop, accompanied by a dollop of creamy goodness, elevated each forkful into a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds.True to its name, The Flying Biscuit did not disappoint in the biscuit department. Each golden-brown creation was a masterpiece of flakiness and warmth. Pairing it with a generous swirl of raspberry sauce only enhanced its already divine taste, leaving me in culinary bliss.However, the steak failed to meet my expectations. It seemed lacking in flavor, as if it hadn't been given the chance to truly marinate and develop its potential. The absence of seasoning left it feeling underwhelming, despite its promising appearance.On the bright side, the eggs provided a comforting contrast with their soft, velvety texture, adding a touch of familiarity to the meal.To complement the feast, I opted for a Blueberry Lemonade Mimosa, a refreshing concoction that perfectly balanced the tanginess of blueberries with the zesty kick of lemonade. It was the ideal accompaniment to my brunch adventure, leaving me thoroughly satisfied and ready to face the day ahead.  #GratuityAdded#charlottesgotalot #MatthewsNC#MatthewsEats #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #OfflineClt #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #CLTNewEats #charlottefood #leapyear #Eclipse24 #exploreMatthews #cltfoodie #foodie #keeppounding #charlotteeats #eatdrinkclt #OfflineCharlotte #TheFlyingBiscuit  #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #springtime #charlottefoodies  #cltagendaParking: Just drive around until you find a spot.

“Came in for the first time while visiting the area, and it was delicious. The waitress knew the menu well, and made recommendations. Chicken sandwich and fries all great but the "Spoonbread" was out of this world!! Do yourself a favor and order it. Will definitely be back again when I visit.“

“I ate here and had Scottie as my server. I would highly recommend the ribs and fish combo! The Mac and cheese amazing and the cabbage is the best I’ve had! Scottie was one of the best servers I’ve ever had and he was extremely attentive even tho he was busy. He’s great with kids too!“

“Good location, Great service and Incredible food!Cozy shaded area outside was nice with the pup. Our hostess was helpfull, kind and courteous in every way. Potatoes taste like they were marinated cooked crispy then seasoned (Perfect moon hash) chicken chorizo hash and or the chicken waffles were amazing! Thanks!“

“My very first time here and OH MY GOODNESS...it will not be my last! Where do I start? I was part of a large group (17 people!), and we were all seated in about 15 minutes. To our delight, there was a DJ playing today! Our 2 servers were absolutely awesome. They were fast, friendly, and accommodating. Even with a large party, our food came out in a timely manner. I had the wings and the red velvet waffle. Delicious! Delightful! It was such a wonderful dining experience for this first-time visitor. Everything was done in excellence. If it couldn't get any better, as we were preparing to leave, the owner came out and greeted us! He was so kind and gracious. Prices are very reasonable. We drove up from South Carolina to visit, and it didn't disappoint! I will tell others to drive up and dine well, too.“

“Second time coming here and the food was amazing! The honey hot chicken sandwich was delicious and filling. You get a big piece of meat so I could barely finish 1/2. I also got the shrimp and chicken Alfredo. That was super delicious as well! The portion was huge so you definitely get your moneys worth and can share it. Service was nice, the owner is super cool. The food was 100/10. Yall definitely need to go!“

“The food is delicious! My son who is a very picky eater requests Snow Your Roll all the time. We are so happy they are back and we can’t wait to visit them! The staff is friendly and kind, and always greats us with smiles. Food trucks tend to move a little bit slower, so make sure you prepare for a reasonable wait.“

“These rolls are amazing served up by the nicest people! Smiles everywhere! The soul roll with the hot honey sauce is a perfect vegetarian choice. The collards are even made with vegetable stock. Don’t forget the hot honey sauce. The perfect balance between hot and sweet. The heat hangs out just long enough for the honey to cool your tongue for another bite! What a great experience.“

“Freshwaters is a great place to eat!? This delightful little family owned restaurant is tucked away in a cozy spot in uptown Charlotte. The atmosphere is a combination of classy and inviting. It's a great place to take the family for a great home-cooked meal or a perfectly fine option for a couple on a romantic date. The staff was outstanding! They were one of the friendliest and most helpful I've seen. The food was delicious and fresh. I tried several different dishes. Most were a pleasure to the palate. Some were not to my personal preference but received rave reviews from others in my party. All agreed that the cornbread muffins were a highlight. My personal favorite was the backend salmon. I look forward to trying more of the menu. As Freshwaters is definitely a new must goto restaurant, in my opinion.“

“My first time here visiting from Virginia. I will say that the food was very good. The service was okay you had to wait a little while for someone to take our order but our server Doug was good he took care of us. I will definitely be back!“

“When I tell you...each and every time I go, I always have some for later! This amazing spot is where everyone needs to come to when they craving soul food! I was STARVING and wanted something hearty and we stopped by here! The service is always amazing and I was the only one there!I wanted the meatloaf, Mac and cheese and green beans and my hubby wanted fried chicken wings, okra, and mac and cheese! EVERYTHING WAS BEYOND AMAZING!!! The chicken wings were cooked to order and it was soooooo good, I'm surprised he shared a wing with me! Even the cornbread tastes like cake! The ambiance was fine, music from the 2000s were playing so I happily waited!Every time we come, it's great comfort food and honestly the best around! I would recommend everyone to go check them out!“

“Great food. The jurk wings are very tender yet crispy and grilled but yes always really well marinated. I real liked the wings. We also got a curry chicken. It was also very good. Both items were cooked low and slow. The sides were good too. I would come back. When we went to pick up the food the place was clean and the people there were friendly.“

“A friend guy invited me out for some drinks and food after I got off work, it was my first time, I really enjoyed myself, such a nice lil spot, it was on a Sunday night, wasn’t crowded, the Dj had great music playing, music I could vibe to while having drinks and talking, the bartenders made wonderful drinks, the food was good, I would definitely recommend and will be back“
