“The Black & Blue Filet is out of this world and cooked to perfection (medium rare). I crave it on a weekly basis. It is farm-raised beef from a local supplier which earns huge bonus points. The staff is always friendly and it is rarely packed during the week when we go for dinner, providing a quiet, peaceful environment. The meatloaf is also AMAZING!“
“Everyone welcome like family. I grew up in Charlotte. Spoons had the best burgers, The Penquin had great burgers too. Well, I had a cheeseburger last week at The Small Bar. It was absolutely the best burger I've ever had! Service was great. Bar selections were awesome. Front door parking.“
“Fresh is exactly a good description. I was told they only have a freezer for the ice cream. Everything else is fresh. Made every day. The lasagna incredibly meaty and a spicy ? kick. The gumbo was very tasty. Definitely will be coming back. What a a hidden “
“I was looking for a restaurant for my wife and I for our anniversary. I always wanted to eat here when I lived in Plaza but finally remembered to come since it's a special occasion.Our serve was Dylan and he didn't disappoint with service and recommendations. Ambiance was very Christmas-like and personal especially since it was the holiday's, which felt very private and personal.For starters, I had the escargot and my wife had the Apply Begger's Purse. I was a little surprised with the Gorgonzola taste since I was used to copious amounts of traditional garlic with the dish, but it was surprisingly tasty. The purse was also a good mixture of sweet and savory.I tend to be an adventurous eater and he recommended the ostrich since it was the special for the weekend while my wife had also had the special which was halibut. The Ostrich wasn't very gamy at all the was a mixture of beef and duck tase which took me for a pleasant surprise and the Halibut was cooked perfectly and wasn't very dry.For desert we tried their Flourless Molten Lava Trifle and it was he right amount of sweet.Overall, it was an amazing experience will highly recommend for any special occasion or just date night. Will be back for sure!“
“Visited midday and was seated promptly. Order the four meat platter and paid the additional $5 to substitute one of the meats for burnt ends. Of course the burnt ends were by far the best meat they offered. Our server recommended the broccoli casserole which was delicious! The bacon-wrapped jalapenos were delicious as well! We found the Banana pudding to be too sweet. Restaurant was clean. Service was great. Highly recommend the burnt ends!“
“Definitely one of the best meals we've ever had! Our server was Makayla (apologies if I misspelled her name) and she was amazing! So attentive, great personality, and made wonderful recommendations throughout our evening. The culinary team does a fantastic job. Our meal, the service, and the staff made this visit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FIVE stars! Thank you to Steak 48, our server Makayla, the culinary team, and all the other staff that contributed to an experience to remember! We will be returning, and the sooner the better!“
“Excellent place with options for anyone and everyone. I ordered about seven different kinds that macarons and every single one was absolutely fantastic! I also ordered the grilled chicken and avocado baguette and the every aspect of it was amazing. From the flavors to the tenderness of the chicken, you can tell this place really knows what they’re doing. Definitely coming back!!“
“Absolutely love this place. We live close by so this is our favorite spot for breakfast! Food is always amazing, atmosphere is absolutely cute and what I love the most is service.Wes was our server today. We have seen him around many times and today we figure he has been working here for 4+ years! Wes is very pleasant, patience and kind!Very happy we decided to come here. Not much left as the picture shows lol“
“I've been wanting to try this place for so long! (I'm usually a famous toastery kinda girl lol)I am sold ! The million dollar bacon? Worth at least 2 million! The Hawaiian French toast.... so good! Luis our server gave excellent suggestions and was very patient with my husband's picky requests (much for patient that myself lol) . We will definitely be back to eat again!“
“Sunday Brunch was a success today! Thank you ASH, our incredible server and new friend! The food could have been trash and I still would rate the place 5 stars because of her! So fun!funny! Attentive! Great personality that was genuine!I ordered a mimosa—it was good! Classic taste! I tried the honey suckler daiquiri, that was really tasty! Just wish it was frozen!The beignets were AMAZING! We had to order two orders of them lmao I should have gotten a 3rd order to go!I ordered the Charlotte Hot Brown ($24 Stacked French Toast, Fried Chicken, Sweet Maple, Gravy, Grilled Tomatoes, Aged Cheddar, Crispy Bacon, Sunny Egg). I had the gravy on the side and asked the egg to be fried hard! It was really tasty!The atmosphere was great! Energetic but not overwhelming. Can’t wait to come back for dinner“
“Indulging in a girls' night out at Papi Queso was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled in a vibrant atmosphere, this establishment seamlessly blends the warmth of a cozy eatery with the excitement of a bustling social hub. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the aroma of melted cheese and a warm welcome from their entire team- setting the stage for an amazing girls' night. The menu boasted an impressive array of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and their $8.00 Frozen Rosey (Friday Night Special) promising a feast for both the palate and the soul.For starters, we couldn't resist diving into their signature Garlic Aioli sauce a perfect pair for their Garlic Tots, it was the perfect opening act for what was to come.As we savored each bite of our chosen Texas Cheesesteak grilled cheese sandwich, it became evident that Papi Queso is not your average grilled cheese joint. The combination of premium ingredients and inventive flavor combinations elevated these classic comfort foods to a whole new level. To complement our meal, we sampled their $8.00 refreshing Frozen Rosey. What truly set Papi Queso apart, however, was the impeccable service and vibrant atmosphere. The staff exuded warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked up and sat at their bar. The lively ambiance, complete with the chatter of fellow diners, added to the overall sense of camaraderie and celebration. In conclusion, our girls' night out at Papi Queso was nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you're craving a gourmet grilled cheese fix or simply seeking a fun and vibrant dining destination, Papi Queso is sure to satisfy your cravings and leave you craving more.“
“Stopped by on a Monday morning. No wait, sat down immediately, and greeted by our server. Everything was great. Service, quality of food, and timeliness of food from start to finish were all fantastic. I ordered the bacon avocado bowl which was an item I would usually not order, but decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. Although there were no "roasted" grape tomatoes(plain cold grape tomatoes). It was tasty and satisfying. My mom had the bissell breakfast which she throughly enjoyed.“
“My wife and I had a fantastic dinner experience at 131 Main! The atmosphere is perfect for upscale casual dining - inviting and stylish. Our server, Kellie, was top-notch. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our experience was great.The food came out incredibly fast, in about 10 minutes, and everything was piping hot. We could tell the ingredients were fresh by the taste and perfect seasoning. I had the slow roasted chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken itself was juicy and flavorful, and the smashed potatoes were a perfect complement. My wife ordered the crabcakes, and they were loaded with succulent crabmeat. The sauce was also amazing!We highly recommend 131 Main and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.“
“I go here multiple times a week and have never been disappointed. The coffee, pastries, and the staff are all wonderful. Highly recommend to anyone nearby.Vegetarian options: Not a single thing there that wouldn’t be vegetarianDietary restrictions: They offer different types of milk if you may be allergic, or lactose intolerant. There’s no meat in the shop, and I’ve only ever seen one item that contains nuts, but there could be more I haven’t noticed.Parking: At first glance it doesn’t seem like there’s a ton of parking, but there is plenty, and also plenty of exits depending on how you like to converge into traffic.Kid-friendliness: The people are incredibly kind to the kids, and there are plenty of pastries and other drinks besides coffee for any kids. I’ve seen plenty of parents in the shop, and there’s never been any issues“
“What a fantastic restaurant and bar. The food and service is better than you can ask for, (ask for Lauren, Hannah, Sam or Maria) the ambiance and dress of staff offers a new and fun take. Steampunk without being overwhelming and Edgar Allen Poe mixed in the best way possible. I would suggest the Irish Nachos with Beef. Any of their burgers are a solid choice. Finding it hard to see anything wrong with this place, hopefully they will continue to expand, but come see these guys because this is the best one!“
“I have eaten at the Tap and Vine twice in two weeks. The dining experience is above and beyond the dining experiences I've had at other restaurants recently. The food is absolutely delicious! Very fresh. We've tried a couple of bottles of wine that did not disappoint. The wait staff is on it! I can't wait to go back for more! It's nice to finally find an intimate setting to enjoy with family and friends.“
“Moo & Brew has become an instant fave! The staff are all incredibly personable and the food and drinks always hit the spot. Order the cheese curds, any of the fries, and the hibiscus marg. Pro tip: order whatever sandwich sounds good and swap out the protein for your choice. Thank me later!! Love the Tuesday night Trivia on the Tracks and can’t wait to check out karaoke on a Wednesday. Literally this place cannot disappoint!!Parking: There’s a free parking lot but if it’s crowded you can find free street parking nearby“
“While visiting Charlotte for a week long vacation I came across Snooze for breakfast as it was fairly close to my hotel. I found the selection and quality to be great with unique and traditional options. Shout out to Emma, “Chewbacca” and especially Bri for being amazing servers with friendly and pleasant attitudes! I’ll be back again before I leave.“
“We stopped by Catalina for happy hour today and I have to say that Catalina is comfortable, beautiful, spotless and the food is good. Thomas, the bartender, was the star of our personal celebration. We sat at the large circular bar which is well stocked and reasonably priced. We tried several of the happy hour small plates (all under $10 and very tasty), and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails while Thomas furthered our education about bourbons, whiskeys and ryes. Highly recommend!“

“I went with a group tonight. The service was excellent and the food came out quickly. I had hanger steak which if you are lucky you will find in a grocery store but most likely you will not. It is a tender piece that is quite delicious. They had a nice light sauce with it. I shared brussel sprouts with a friend. They were roasted and had a crunchy flavorful topping. Roosters always delivers in my experience consistently excellent food. I ordered for takeout a velvet cake with chocolate mousse. It was yummy. It looked besutiful. How can you lose with sugar and chocolate? We had a great experience and will be back!“
“The food was so fresh and delicious. It’s the kind of restaurant where it’s so bewitchingly good you order things off the menu you normally wouldn’t. Every restaurant makes good duck fat fries but this is the kind of restaurant that makes you say “we should try that beets dish” because you know that even if you don’t love beets —the dish in this restaurant will probably get you on board. Great meal. Great atmosphere. Great time.“
“High end food! Very expensive! Lobster roll was so good I wouldn't be surprised if the chef behind the counter was controlled by that Ratatouille fella. However the aesthetic of the area lends itself to a multitude of young clearly spoiled teenagers. If you have an aversion to such Tom foolery reserve the whole place out before eating. If you're planning to eat here you can afford the reservation anyways buddy“
“Such a cute place! Friendly staff and customers. The flatbreads were very good. They have a decent wine selection you can get by the glass (they were on the drier side). Also, a few local beers on tap and a selection of chilled beer, room temp wine, and chilled wine available for purchase. We definitely will be back.“
“This is a very Wonderful quaint little restaurant. The service was impeccable. The food was phenomenal. You will thank the price as a little high when you see the menu. But the plate is more than enough for the value.Everything was fresh And truly delicious.“
“First time visiting Cajun Queen last night. It was fantastic. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious! Having been to NOLA this food is as close to NOLA as you’ll get without traveling to New Orleans. Everything from appetizers to dessert was so tasty. Prices were on track with the quality of food and service. We will be back!“
“Although it was cold, we sat outside with our puppy and 4 kids. Fish and chips was amazing! Katelyn took great care of our large group. Our friends come here all the time, and so glad they shared this lovely spot with us! All the staff were very friendly. Everyone was happy with food choice… next time I’ll get the Reuben, “
“My wife and I are pastrami lovers. We moved from around New York area and missed a good pastrami. We’ve been looking for a good pastrami place in charlotte area. My wife found Katz deli on line and we decided to give it a try. Oh my goodness, let me tell you our experience. We each took 1/2lb pastrami without knowing how good it was going to be. What a great decision we made. The taste was amazing and mouth watering. It was that good. The staff were so amazing. It took a minute late to get my order but it was worth it bc they made fresh rye bread. The girl who took care of the order kept me updated that they’re waiting for the fresh bread as I ordered more rye bread. While I was waiting I saw more repeat customers coming in. The place was packed. Next I’m going to try corned beef. My hats off to the owner. Please keep up the great job you’re doing. ?“
“Such friendly people, with amazingly delicious food. Seriously, so good! Best burgers we have EVER had, anywhere! We have been customers at their food truck, and now the cafe as well. I really appreciate the availability of gluten free buns!“

“Our reservations were for 3pm Easter Sunday... We like mid afternoon and the three of us enjoyed our meal and experience. We chose the salmon and crab stuffed halibut with chopped salads. Yum!! It wasn't too busy so the noise and meal experience was very nice! We will be back!!“
“Me and my parents go to this restaurant regularly almost every Sunday and it is perfect every time. The waitresses are very kind and attentive, and the food is always fresh. The portions are a good size, the food is affordable, and the quality is top notch. I definitely recommend eating here, the whole place has a comforting, southern ambiance.“
“I was looking for a different menu and came upon Eddie’s Place on DoorDash. I couldn’t make up my mind so I chose a hot dog AND the shrimp and grits with ham OMW they were so good! The hot dog has to wait. So many shrimp and a lot of ham and those creamy cheddar grits ever! The portion size was large so I have breakfast for tomorrow! I’ll definitely order again. Wish they were on DashPass but oh well...“
“The food was excellent. Several choices for wine and the pinot from Washington was a good one. Our server knew the wines and was able to explain their characteristics. The menu could be more expansive; however, there is still something for everyone.“
“Wow. First off service was very southern and hospitable. The waitress made an effort to check in and give suggestions as it was out first time. She even went over the different sauces that were on the table! The food was great as well. Our appetizer was the chicarrons and they were still sizzlings, so extra pints on that. We got a meat bbq platter and the salmon meal. Both had their fare share of salt but I enjoyed the experience of North Carolina bbq. The aesthetic of the restaurant also makes this place memorable. You have the history in the building and nice spot in the center of town.“
“Better than the one on Independence, this spot has a diner vibe. Very fresh ingredients, and friendly people. I will say that my 4 stars come from the place, and the people, but the food is only 3.5. Diner environment, very cool. Sundrop...cool. 4.5 stars Hot, friendly, and fresh, even if not amazing food...The dogs and the double burger are solid. I will be back because of the feel, and I will enjoy the food because it's hot and solid.“
“This was my father-in-law's favorite place to eat for years. He passed away last year, and unfortunately, I was never able to eat here with him. After eating here, I can see why he loved it so much. It's a wonderful place with great food and even better service.Kid-friendliness: Great kids options.“
“Upon a recommendation, we tried Crepe Bistro for a mid morning breakfast. The breakfast crepes we tried were tasty and had good portions of meat. While the breakfast crepe was good, it was similar to other places like this. The sweet maple madness crepe was exceptional. The server was pleasant and offered good explanations of the offerings.“
“Quick and friendly service. Fill your own drinks. To go cups are offered at time of order. We have eaten here several times and we have never been disappointed. We are usually a little over full because the burgers are large. The big tasty is my go to menu item with tots. It is one the top burgers I have ever had. I really enjoy the tots here also. Tawnee usually gets the shroom burger without onions and always tries to finish it. The fries are very good also, but I’m partial to the tots. We will continue to eat here on a regular basis. They have daily specials on the chalkboard when you come in the door. Plenty of clean seating has been available for us when we have been here. The only slight negative is decor for seating could use an uplift, but it is still okay and it is comfortable enough.Parking: Tons of close parking is available“
“While in Mint Hill we were looking for a spot the locals may go for a nice beer and proper bar food. After checking out different reviews in the area we stumbled upon the spot! We had their hot wings, the Hilly Cheesesteak with a side of chips, and $5 Carolina draft beers. Exactly what we were looking for! The service was great. Definitely check it out! We will be back when we are in the area!“
“My hubs and I had our third visit just over a week ago. This is the third time I've had their chicken fried chicken dish, and it is just as delicious as the first time! Perfect portions, no leftovers! The steampot is wonderful as well as the bbq plate (with 3 choices, I believe). The prices are perfectly reasonable! We had Eden as our server at our last visit and she was exceptional! She stayed on top of our beverages and clearing the table when needed. We will definitely be back!“
“Stopped in for lunch and while it was busy, seating was available. They do a Sunday menu for popular items so those are the quickest however we waited no time for our food. Grilled ham and cheese with veg soup for him and Reuben with crinkle fries for me. Both sandwiches were good and buttery. Reuben had dressing on the side as a dipping sauce however I could appreciate the approach. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and warm. Definitely will be going back.“
“If You Love Nostalgia, This Place Will Take You Way Back To The Late 50's Into The Early 60's.Not Only Is It Nostalgic, The Food Is Worth The Stop. Their Onion Rings Are Some, If Not The Very Best In Charlotte! Great Place To Grab A Bite And Reminisce About How a Things Used To Be.They Serve A Large Variety Of Meals And Sandwiches. 1/4 Of A Chicken, Fried Chicken, Trout Dinners, Hamburger Steak, Chicken Salad, and Multiple Desserts. You Really Can't Go Wrong. ✌️?“
“My family went there for dinner last night and had a great time. Great food and an even greater atmosphere. My daughter won a basketball signed by the entire UNC team. We will definitely be back, so glad to have another happening restaurant in Downtown Matthews.“
“As long as there are restaurants like this, I'll try to avoid the usual burger chains!The service is friendly with heart, humor and well organized. The ladies have everything under control.The food is made to order, is tasty and the portions are generous.The ambience fits and creates the flair.The restaurant loses one star because of the outside toilets.“

“Nice spot in the middle of little Mint Hill. Outside seating has heat and fans as needed. Because of the proximity to the road it can be a little loud but if you know that going in, it's not really a problem. We always bring our pup so we have never sat inside but it does have a nice vibe. Service is always good and food is good as well. A large selection of wine so I feel certain that you will find something you like.....Unless you don't drink wine;-)“
“Food that was correct was good. Standard level pub food. Waitress was very attentive. I can't say whether my order was taken incorrectly or made incorrectly by kitchen but mine was a cheesesteak & was incorrect missing the extra cheese & had mushrooms on it which was asked to be removed. Flavor of food wasn't knock your socks off great but I was satisfied. Desserts were spot on. I would return & recommend.Kid-friendliness: Kids menus, kids cups, kids milk. Good for them.“
“The chicken souvlaki platter was all-encompassing fulfilling and delicious. I was happy that you were still providing a fresh meal that late in the evening (because some restaurants microwave food), and I still had enough to take to work the next day (but wished I had more), and still tasted delicious. Your staff, especially the desk staffer that took my order, were wonderful to interact with (especially when you just want to go home, eat, do no exercise, and sleep). Thank you for the great transition!“
“The extensive gluten free menu is perfect for my husband who is gluten intolerant. He ordered the Maxx burger gluten free with truffle french fries. I had the crab topped haddock with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Our server Chris was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me pick out a nice glass of chardonnay. We will definitely be back.

“Rad af. A rock solid meat and three with Carolina style burgers, daily specials that sell out before dinner service, and ice cold bottles of PBR for a dollar--all day, every day. I miss it like the sun misses the flower. If you're reading this, go get some chili spaghetti with extra onions for me.“
“Got the Sandwich + Wing combo for 11.50 and it was a really good deal with one side and drink. The wings were HUGE and I got the spicy sauce and it was was super flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was pretty good but I tried my moms pulled chicken and it was awesome so I'm definitely getting that next time. I also got the wedges and they were good but we also got the hush puppies, banana pudding and Mac n cheese and they were all 9/10+. Definitely coming back soon.“
