“Beyond delicious, great service 5*“

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

“We love Cornerstone. It’s got a neighborhood vibe that’s accessible. Lots of TVs for your favorite events, great cocktails , large beer selection. But the food is great! Try the best mozzarella sticks you ever had, hot stretchy delicious cheese with the perfect crust. We had fish and chips tonight, just delicious.
Highly recommended!“

“I'm not sure why the reviews for this location is bad. The food was excellent, my man and I went on a Tuesday night, it was empty. We did the 2 for $25 we each got 2 meals and an appetizer. There's an upcharge for the streak and shrimp but portions are large, everything was fresh. Our server Savanah was quick and friendly, checked on us multiple times and gave an update with everything.“

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

“This was a really nice place to visit and have a meal. We were in town for business and wanted to eat somewhere other than a chain restaurant. The food here was very good and hot when it arrived at the table. The service was very good and we felt like we were being taken care of. Everyone working there played a part in making sure we had everything we needed. If you like pub food, this is definitely the place to go!!“

“Today we went to Ten58 Sports bar for our daughters birthday lunch. She had requested we take her there and we were very pleased and will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, great staff and great food and drinks. Only wish we could of ran into TD himself.“

“Mandatory destination for soccer fans. Cool old school bar in a really cool brick alley. Upstairs and downstairs are both small but not claustrophobic. Scarves on the walls and a match on tv, classic soccer bar stuff. Bartender was a good guy, great soccer conversation and some helpful local insight on other watering holes. Glad that we stopped by Courtyard Hooligans, if you are a soccer fan you will enjoy it too !“

The lively atmosphere, authentic live music, and delicious Brazilian food make every visit special. The staff are welcoming and attentive, and there’s always a great vibe—whether you’re watching a game, listening to great music or just hanging out. Highly recommend for a fun night out. Kids are also welcomed :)“

“Came in from out of town. As soon as we walked in, not only were we greeted by the staff, but also the patrons. You can tell this place was full of good people. Football game was on, food was out fast, and top notch. Next time I’m back here, this will be a must stop!!“

“I can’t say enough about my incredible experience at Mexicali Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.

The service was absolutely outstanding. Brithney and Stefanie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Now, onto the food—wow! I started with the guacamole, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The sopes were an absolute highlight: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and topped with the most delicious ingredients. A pitcher of margaritas was the perfect pairing—refreshing, tangy, and just the right amount of kick. To top it all off, the flan was the grand finale I didn’t know I needed: creamy, silky, and a perfect blend of sweetness to end the meal on a high note.

Mexicali Restaurant delivers not just incredible food but an exceptional dining experience, thanks to amazing servers like Brithney and Stefanie. I’ll definitely be back soon and recommending this spot to everyone I know!“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Darts, Drinks & Personal Development”
From this week’s “Sticky Rice & Sweet Tea – After Dark Edition”

I don’t go out much. My usual nightlife consists of refrigerator light and a cozy existential crisis. But in the spirit of not regretting life on my deathbed (which feels closer every time I eat fried mushrooms), I ventured to Midtown Country Club.

And you know what? I had fun. Like, honest-to-goodness, looked-up-darts-on-Amazon-after kind of fun. Learned how to play darts with some tragically unbalanced plastic ones, and still managed to feel like an Olympic athlete in the glow of good vibes.

Shoutout to the bartender—this man is a sober cocktail sorcerer. I asked for something citrusy, low sugar, no alcohol, and he handed me a cup of mystery that tasted like a sunset on a fresh start. Give that man a bonus and a playlist deal.

The crowd? Surprisingly lovely. Diverse, relaxed, unbothered. And as someone who usually stiffens up around groups of gays I don’t know (read: trauma, shade, and past brunches), Sean’s friends were actually warm and welcoming. It reshaped some deep-seated expectations I didn’t realize I was still carrying.

All in all, 5 stars for a Tuesday night that gave me community, a tasty mocktail, and a hobby that now requires wrist coordination and a budget.

“Such a fun Irish bar with great bar seating, some booths and tables, and outdoor spots to enjoy a day or evening out. The owner and bartender is great and can get you any mixed drink, 🥃 shots, or 🍻🍺 beers you can want. The people also make this place super fun and you can easily strike up a conversation and stay a while.“

“came in a few weeks ago and doug was my server! great server, friendly and on top of everything. food and service was so good came in a few days later and megan and elise were my bartenders and again, great service and great food!! highly recommend this place!!!“

“Best bar on Noda strip. Love the bartenders“

“THE PEOPLE ARE VERY FRIENDLY!! I WOULD DEFINITELY COME BACK!!!3😊💙😀“

“Let me tell you about the best server ever.
I lost my phone in Charlotte and and Uber driver that didn’t speak English found it walking down the road. Since he only spoke Spanish I went to the bar and Nohemi not only talked to him she negotiated the return of my phone. NOT ONLY THAT. She came out side in the 22 degree weather to help me translate with the guy!
If you come here ask for her, take care of her ,
My faith in humanity is restored!!!!
Thank you Nohemi!!!“

“I’d be remiss to begin a review without sharing that Madelyn is an incredible server. We are frequently here because of her welcoming spirit. We appreciate how inclusive it feels for customers of all ages. While we’d love to see corporate put in some effort in the aging atmosphere, the restaurant is consistently clean.“

“A welcome departure from the usual South Park eateries. Quite a gem if you love local watering holes: poor lighting except over the 2 Diamond pool tables in the back. Staff casual but attentive. Good drink prices and possibly one of the best reubens in Charlotte.“

“From out of state.. went two night during our stay! Great nachos and friendly staff. Prices are fair and patio was nice.“

“Both my girls learned to skate here. The program and coaches were engaging and knew how to get the kids moving. Now 3 years later we are a part of the girls hockey program and still love this rink and staff.“

“Great spot for drinks and pub grub. Love the atmosphere when looking for a place with outdoor seating. Must try when in Charlotte.“

“Been here a few times and the food has always been great now the service depends on the day and how busy they are but I’m still craving them whole wings from the brunch menu! Great options to get a bang for your buck but great food is the reason I’ll keep coming back!“

“It's been years since I have had food at a Hickory Tavern. I ordered the Smokehouse burger, and it was delicious. It came out fairly quickly. Our server was really good. I can't remember her name, but she was working the bar on December 9th, we were at table 33 (the three sisters). We want to thank her again! She was quick, nice, and understanding.“

“Lots of bad reviews on here about the service, but we came in during a trivia night and the place was absolutely packed, to the point that I considered just leaving. The service was very prompt.. and our waitress Cortney did a fantastic job.“

“This restaurant is very good. They offer meals that are just a bit more interesting than most. I had the Greek tacos with shrimp and broccoli as the side. I really enjoyed it. Service was good also.“

“Bartender was awesome food was great!“

“Love this place a lot! Best location to spend a good time with friends and family ❤️“
