“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!!“
“The food was simple, yet delicious. This family run restaurant felt warm, and the staff was friendly. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, which was a perfect portion. My husband had a bagel breakfast sandwich and pancakes. Everything was delicious!Parking: During a rush, you may need to park and walk. There is a gravel lot near the water tower.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Maxwell's is a fantastic little spot in downtown Waxhaw. It's also very popular, which is great for the restaurant, but makes it a challenge when we wanted to have lunch today. The place was packed with a bunch of people waiting outside. We put our name on the list and were told it would be about 40 minutes. No biggie, Waxhaw has plenty to offer while we wait. It's so good that this place is so well known and popular.Today I got the Grilled Salmon Salad. The salad is what is to be expected - fresh greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, croutons, hard boiled egg. Everything was fresh and tasty. On top was a spectacular piece of salmon, grilled perfectly and arrived smelling like Sunday brunch, as it was cured with maple syrup. That made it very unique. Interestingly, the aroma was wonderful, but the flavor just wasn't there. The fish itself tasted great, but the maple never really hit my tastebuds. Could be because it was lightly blackened (by design) and the crust formed there took away some of the sweetness? The fish was great, don't get me wrong, but it smelled better than it tasted. When we return, I'll get it again. I just wish the taste had a stronger maple flavor.Our pescatarian middle schooler got mozzarella sticks and hummus with pita. The sticks seemed pretty standard fare, but our kid really raved about how good the hummus was.As for the atmosphere, the room is bright and inviting, with classic looking tools and components on the walls. Plenty of TV's with sports. Although it was one room that was packed with people, we could still hear ourselves and carry on conversations at our table. Maxwell's loses a start for atmosphere because the tables were too jam packed together. Servers and patrons alike kept bumping into our chairs as they walked by (but everyone was polite about it). I was guilty of this too when navigating to the bathroom, as I couldn't avoid chairs which were back-to-back on my way across the room. We were seated near the bar, which is where people would stand around while waiting for a table. For some of the meal, a gentleman's behind was hovering right over my wife's shoulder as were waiting for our food to arrive. The constant bumping took away a little from our experience. If we were in a booth, we probably wouldn't have been impacted.Maxwell's is a fabulous restaurant and is a great reason to visit downtown Waxhaw!Vegetarian options: Our kid is a pescatarian and got mozzarella sticks and hummus with pita. They said it was really good hummus, so that's good. There are plenty of salads to choose from, plus a garden burger.Parking: Street parking is okay, with parallel parking on one side and angled parking on the other. You can always park around the corner on South Providence Street too.Kid-friendliness: There were plenty of kids in the restaurant from toddlers to middle schoolers. There's a kids menu with crayons too.“
“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!“
“Very affordable good food with great service.It's a 4 star only because of the wait time.I wish they had a system that would mimic a reservation, like getting in a "virtual" line. In fact the outside feels more chaotic than the inside.Once you get seated though, you'll forget that you had to wait that long.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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, “
“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.“
“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.“
“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. ?“
“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.“
“We’ve always enjoyed our visits. Each time back seems better than the last. Tonight, Reed delivered excellent service with outstanding personality. The food was fantastic. Great food, great wine priced fairly, exceptional service, all together in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Thank you to Reed for making sure this was our best visit yet!“
“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.“
“Amazing. Sometimes the weight staff is extremely slow but worth it when you get the food. But do not ever order dessert to go. It’s very disappointing to spend $12 and get these for your dessert. You don’t even get the mint or the raspberry“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“First time stopping in for lunch and just happened to hit the chicken and dumplings special. They were awesome! I had the fried squash and green beans with cornbread and my husband had the chicken fried steak. Everything was wonderful. The menu had a great variety and the staff was so nice. We will definitely be back soon!“
“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.

“Great spot for a meal. Excellent cook and service. Almost felt I wasn't quite local enough yet to eat there, but not in a bad way. I have only lived in Monroe for 3 months. They also do a brisk carry out business. Give 'em a call!“
“My favorite restaurant in the area from the first visit in 2014. I don't know how possible not to get a complete satisfaction here. We missed 3 years since covid, but the creativity of chef Adam has never changed. The food was excellent last night for my birthday celebration. The only wish is the servants are trained better.“
“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.“
“As you pass the Skinny Cook, it looks like a hole in a wall restaurant, but it's much more. It's where you eat home cooked meals with family or friends. It's a well-known place by all locals in Monroe. It stays busy for breakfast and lunch. The prices are very reasonable, you can't beat it. I had lunch there and ordered the loaded tots and chicken wings. The wings were spicy but not super hot, just right. The loaded tots came with tons of melted cheese and bacon bits. Absolutely delicious ?.“
“A friend invited me to lunch at Brown Bag and I was pretty impressed.The parking is up a ramp and in the lot beside a bank. There were a few spots open when I got there. No issues.The atmosphere is not a big deal here. Fairly simple.The service - man who took our order was super friendly and cheerful. Two pats on the back.The food - at first I thought it was a bit expensive for lunch. The name brown bag made me think it would be mostly sandwiches. However, it was very fresh and hearty - well worth the price. The servings were very generous. Look at all of that meat!I got the teriyaki chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Super delicious!The purpose - had to look up what the purpose is that is their tag line. They provide meals for sick or shut in people if ordered 24 hours in advance. Amazing mission and heart to serve others well. I love that!“
“Main Street bistro recently catered a conference I attended in Monroe. Not only was the food they offered amazing but the staff was very friendly and cordial. The egg salad and chicken salad finger sandwiches were incredible! Obviously homemade, very simple and absolutely delicious. Prime Rib was served at a carving station one night (all meals were buffet style at this event). I don't normally eat a lot of red meat but I asked the server if he could carve me some that was a bit less rare and he said absolutely. It was slightly pink and absolutely delicious! I was so glad I had asked for some. I grabbed some of the whipped horseradish sauce to have with it. Amazing! Highly recommend if your group is considering A catered event that you call these folks.Dietary restrictions: The first evening on the charcuterie table hummus was offered in addition to multiple crackers and lots of different veggies and fruit. Egg salad finger sandwiches were also offered. Folks who were gluten-free and or dairy free could've also found something to eat at the buffet.“
“I’ve come here for as long as I can remember; as a child. Every time I come I feel as though I’m having flashbacks of the past with my family. The service is always great here. Food is awesome here and fast. I recommend them to all. Thank you for always being a place that feels like home.“
“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!“
“Food came out hot and fresh from the kitchen. Stuffed grape leaves were flavorful and the spinach pie was good. Only minor complaint was cashier charged a credit card fee when bill was paid with cash. Had to point out they overcharged, which seemed to confuse the cashier on how to refund it.“

“Lil hole in the wall type a joint. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The double cheeseburger all the way with slaw, Carolina style, was delicious. I didn't even get a picture of it. It went fast. It had two big patties, two melted pieced of cheese, slaw and oh my, it was good. And, it was only $7. It was way better than any $15-$20 burger I've paid for.“

“Queen City Craft and Gourmet has been a staple lunch location for our family since they opened. The menu rotates through the seasons, the beer choices are amazing and also rotate, and the staff is always polite and helpful.Today I ordered my usual, greek salad, this time with grilled chicken. When it is in season, the trout is an amazingly prepared protein to top a delicious salad here. However, the chicken does the job when there is no trout on the menu - it's grilled just fine. The greens here are always fresh, the olives are full of flavor and perfectly salty, and the tomatoes are sliced big and juicy. The highlight of the salad are the huge triangles of feta, which make for a delicious treat of flavor mixed into the salad. I don't care for peppers, but my wife loves them so she always happily picks them out of my salad for me.I also ordered a side dish of Salt & Pepper Brussels. Oh my goodness they always come out roasted to perfection. Just enough oil, just enough seasoning, and cooked to bring out just amazing flavors. This little side dish is my favorite thing on the menu.The staff, including the owner, was wonderful as always. Friendly as can be, greeting customers as they enter and making sure to thank us as we were leaving. This is a place that genuinely appreciates all customers and definitely makes that obvious. You will feel extremely welcome coming to Queen City Craft and Gourmet for a meal or a drink. The friendliness of the atmosphere cannot be beat here, but I did take a star away from this category just because the design of the interior space is just okay.Overall, we highly recommend Queen City Craft and Gourmet to anyone looking for an incredible meal with amazing drink choices and the friendliest of staff. You will come away appreciating your food while feeling appreciated for being a patron.Parking: It's a very big shopping center with plenty of parking. No issues.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, but really the adult menu has many appetizers and side dishes to make any kid happy. Today our kid ordered 2 sides of shrimp as their meal and they were quite satisfied.“
“Hidden gem !!! Was looking for somewhere new and saw the high ratings. It is worth EVERY SINGLE high rating. 5 out of 5. Fresh Bolognese sauce which you cannot find around here. Wife had stuffed shells. Couple pizzas to take home to the kids. Got to know Romeo and Katrina - so nice. This place deserves to be known. PS - Try the meatballs.“
“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“
“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 “

“Visiting from out of town, seems their hot dogs are quite famous but don't skip on the chicken wrap, it was really good!! Everyone was super friendly. 10 out of 10 highly recommend and will return next trip! Ambiance was casual and welcoming! My son kept asking for another hot dog!“
“I absolutely love coming here with my family! We drive 30 minutes out of our way to come to this location for the servers (Alicia) and manager (Melissa). They are a godsend on game days and the food is always perfect. I can’t recommend this location enough, we come here weekly and love it every time!!“
