“There is only one person I would ever want to make my bagel sandwiches or Ruebens. She actually puts love into what she's making. I've had just about everything made just from every other employee there, and let's just say they don't measure up. They literally will just throw the food together, and it's messy as ever. But Sue really takes her time putting together the bagel/ sandwich you order. We also make sure to ask if shes the one who made the macoroni salad or not. She actually cares about the quality of food that goes in and out of this place. I give 5 stars for Sue for her exceptional service but rated 4 because everyone should learn from her. It would be better if everyone gave out the same quality as Sue does and kept this place consistent with the quality you receive.“
“Where do I even begin? Such a cool experience. We are not vegan, but wanted to try this adorable spot. Our table was ready for us right when we walked on decked out with books and coloring activities for my two young kids. Honestly, my son is a SUPER picky eater and tried AND liked everything he ate. It was so much fun watching him explore new flavors and foods with a huge smile on his face. As for my husband and I, we both loved our dishes, as well. The flavors were out of this world. If you haven't checked out this unique spot...you must! Jennifer is a ?.“
“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.“
“One of our favorite restaurants in South Charlotte. Amazing sides, tasty and healthy. We get take out from here weekly and it’s consistently good and fresh. And the homemade baklava is sooo fresh and tasty. Best I’ve ever eaten (and I love baklava).“
“Very good BBQ. The brisket was tender and juicy. The greens were a little too spicy for me but still delicious. The hush puppies were good too. The brunt ends were amazing. The pickles were spicy too but good. I definitely recommend this place if your nor from Charlotte NC.“
“I was immediately greeted with a friendly welcome. The hostest explained the entire menu to me, including the drinks and beans where their coffee was sourced. This was my first time ever having a crepe. I ordered the eggs Benedict and English toffee coffee. The service was great. Overall a great place to eat. Would like to go back and try their bananas fosters.Vegetarian options: One of first questions I was asked was dietary restrictions and there are lots of plates listed as vegan.Kid-friendliness: As I was eating plenty of moms came in with their children. They were all well behaved.Wheelchair accessibility: Location is on the first floor so it is wheelchair accessible.“
“We have been here a number of times and have never been disappointed. The food is constantly good and so is the service. We brought visitors from out of town and they loved it. We usually do a number of tapas plates and then a main course. There is a nice selection of deserts as well. We recommend Miro and am sure you will enjoy it too.“
“Great local restaurant and consistently one of our favorites! Diverse menu with multiple healthy options and things that can modified as needed. Superior quality of all food items coupled with exceptional service - all very consistent!!! We had the crab cakes, side of collard greens, salmon on lentils/kale, and a side of roasted butternut squash with brussel sprouts - each dish perfectly cooked, excellent flavors.“
“Hands down, the best beer shop in Matthews.Carolina Beer Temple offers some of the best variety of beers in the Charlotte area. Their tap selection is solid & consistently changing. They carry the usual Charlotte based breweries but seem to focus on the highly rated ones. They carry excellent out of state offerings, too. Some of the highlights include Equilibrium, Trillium, & Xul.The building is the old Post Office. This definitely adds a unique character.The environment fits the setting, which equals a perfect spot to play games & enjoy great beer.Carolina Beer Temple is worth stopping at for a few beers & then to take some to go.“
“Food was just amazing my only gripe and my wife agrees is that the food needs to be hotter when it comes out it was Luke warm when we got it. I think the flavor would come out even more if it's hotter. But other than that this place is a surprise gift.PS the beers are very cold!!“
“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.“
“I can't thank the Southern Olive enough for making the best gluten free, dairy free, & nut free cake for our daughter's birthday. The Cookies & Cream cake was phenomenal! I cant explain how simple the process was from placing the order, the communication from their team, & picking up the order. Yes, it was that simple! I cant wait for the next occasion/celebration so that I can place another cake order!! The Cookies & Cream cake was phenomenal! Thank you again!“
“My daughter and I visited on a Sunday afternoon because we had never been before. The food was good but what was even better was the staff. We were checked on multiple times while we ate and there was someone continuously keeping tables clean. We had a pleasant experience and will be return patrons.“

“ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!! Our server Miguel, the manament and entire staff were excellent! Everything about this visit was phenomenal! I had a friend visiting from FL so I got to impress her with some of the best Mexican Cuisine I have ever tasted.The music was lively (as usual), the salsas were tangy and tantalizing, the flavor of all the dishes were perfectly flavored and seasoned, and BEST of all my tacos were crunchy and juicy! 200% satisfied with my service and dinner! Thans for having me as a guest LA Poblanita ??“
“First time at Boardwalks and we couldn’t have had a better experience! Sam S. was an exceptional server! She was attentive and was on top of everything. As for the food…I ordered the chicken fried chicken with mashed taters and the Mac n cheese. That chicken was the best I ever had! My hubby had a dozen oysters and the steampot and he was pleased! The prices are quite reasonable for the dishes and there was hardly a wait on our dishes. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner!“
“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.

“I've never had a bad meal at the Flying Biscuit. We normally go to the Park Rd location but came to this location for the first time. Where there would normally be a long wait on the weekends, we got in right away because we were willing to sit at the bar. The food was prepared quickly but was still fresh and hot. I love that they offer so many non-pork options. In fact, besides bacon, they don't serve potk but they offer turkey bacon, chicken sausage and this time I tried chicken chorizo. Their grits are always creamy, the biscuits are always fluffy. I often have their biscuits and gravy because it's made with chicken sausage and its amazing and you can't find that anywhere else but the grits bowl with chicken chorizo was amazing and I'll have that again as well. You just can't go wrong.I only gave 4 stars for service because our server was nice but it was hard to get her attention and ultimately it took awhile for us to get our bill.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for non pork esters“
“First time eating a Hungry Howie's Pizza. We ordered a Howie Special Pizza with a Garlic Herb Crust. My only complaint would have to be the Raw Crunch of the Onions and Peppers. I would prefer a little more cook time on the vegetables. The Crust was very flavorful. Overall it's not a bad pizza, just didn't like the crunch.“
“I've been a loyal customer of MingFu Matthews for several years now, and I'm delighted to say that the taste of their food remains consistently excellent. Not only is the flavor unchanged, but the prices remain very reasonable, and the portions are always generous. It's reassuring to find a place that maintains its quality over time, and because of this, I'll continue to be a regular patron!!“
“Definitely a step or two up from Starbucks. This place is clean and runs like a well-oiled machine. Honestly don't even prefer Starbucks, but it's an easy decision when places like Waterbean exists. Cleanliness and attention to detail are important to us, and this place delivers on all accounts.“
“Stopped in after church on Easter Sunday & surprised by a not so busy location. This gem was worth the stop. Our server, Veronica was great ! Her personality made it easy to have a short conversation and definitely added to our great experience here. Food came out quickly, hot & ready to eat. Would definitely recommend this location to others.Thank you!Parking: Plaza of multiple locations shared parking“
“Absolutely superb!!! I am so stoked I found this gem as it reminds me of Wings n Things when I lived in San Diego! I got the 10 pc traditional, half hot and half FlipnGold (sooo good!), celery/carrots, fries, and breadsticks. Wings were cooked to perfection and perfect size, sauces on point and flavorful, breadsticks melt in your mouth and are soooo good ?, just as I remembered,..had enough ranch for my wings and celery/carrots, and even the fries were good. Chris the owner was so nice and personable, it was such a joy chatting with him.The experience and service is just as important as the food in my opinion. From my experience and view, hands down fav place for wings in Charlotte (they were voted best wings in Charlotte, well deserved!). I have no desire or need to get wings anywhere else, this is my spot from here on out! Highly recommend!P.S. (Sorry didn’t get a good picture before eating, I was too excited! And after the first bite, it was Over! lol)“
“I wanted to make sure I provided an update specifically related to service and follow up. I'm pleased to say once I followed the protocol of sending an email to explain my concerns, I received a timely call from the store manager to apologize for my experience. I believe Christa is who reached out to explain the need to more closely monitor the baking steps to ensure these type of mishaps do not occur as various factors can sometimes throw the process off. She reassured me that a complimentary replacement would be noted for me in the store system to retrieve at my leisure. I really appreciate businesses like NBC that truly values their customers.“
“Picture this: you’re sitting there, menu in hand, but who are you kidding? It’s not even a choice. You came for the Roni Rolls. These rolls come out looking like they’ve been kissed by the gods of cheese & comfort food themselves. The first bite? Pure, unadulterated bliss. It’s like every good decision you’ve ever made has led you to this moment. The cheese stretches longer than the last minute of a workout, and it’s a sight to behold. Make sure your phone is charged because this is Instagram gold. Welcome to Buona Vita - Customer service, atmosphere, and menu items are all outstanding!“
“Candidly I was hungry when I bought this pizza. We had spent the whole day at Carowinds and we were hungry. Having said that this pizza was a perfect fix for what we needed and wanted.I love the restaurant itself thought the sign was not lit and we struggled with finding it in the corner of the little complex it sits in. Inside it’s as you would expect from an independently owned pizza joint. Lots of character and a bar. Wolfman and werewolf movie posters adorn this place and it’s awesome.The menu is great extensive with 15+ pizza pie selections and other choices. We went with the 16” Big Bad Wolf (8 slices) and the as perfect for us. The ingredients were plentiful, super fresh, and crunchy. Crust was perfect as well, not too soft and not too crispy (I like a slice I can fold).Maybe it was due to the amount of ingredients but my only critique would be on the sauce. Maybe it was good, maybe it wasn’t I couldn’t tell cause I couldn’t taste it.At the End of the Day, The staff was super friendly and personable. Offering us water as we waited and asking what they could do to help afterwards. They had some TVs over the bar that helped with the wait. The place was a cool and friendly vibe and the pizza was fresh and what I would want from a local pizza shop. I could see myself being a regular if I lived in Charlotte.“
“MICHAELA!! You were amazing! Thank you for being so sweet and kind. You were timely and your service was awesome. Being from Jersey (the land of the best diners ever) this is the best diner we have found outside of Jersey! We have eaten here 3 times now and each time we have loved it and can't wait to come back! So yummy, great portions and great service! Michaela deserves all the awards! Thank you!“
“The Jap chae was excellent! It was hot, the beef was tender it was sauced well. I also had the dumplings.. they were good, I didnt like the dipping sauce for them though. I had a beer that was ice cold. Service was great, staff was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely be back.“
“5 stars for design and flavor. Cake turned out amazing, it was honestly sad to start cutting it was too pretty. We went for vegan option and maybe we should not do it, cream was too sweet and thick, also we paid extra for raspberry filling and unfortunately there wasn’t much of it between layers but plenty of cream. Otherwise we enjoyed it and highly recommend you to use this bakery for special occasions.“
“OGGI is an amazing gem!! This is the 2nd time we have been there, and both times they were spot on. The food is cooked perfectly. We had the scallops and the filet mignon which both dishes were tender, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The ambiance is wonderful and inviting along with great service. Don't forget to end the evening there with a mouthwatering desert or even an espresso/cappuccino.“

“Luigi’s (Karissa) did a great job with our basketball team, a large party of 16 young men. I had called an hour ahead and they had our table ready with drinks, breadsticks and salads when the team arrived. We will definitely visit in the future while in team trips and highly recommend them. ? ? ? ? ?“

“Found this spot because it was close to my hotel and I’m so glad I did. I’ll definitely make this a regular visit location. Bravo to the spot! I love the play on the name Sunflour: indicating everything is baked in house. The fact that they had lots of Vegan options for me and even more options for my family was amazing. I of course got the Lavender 5 shots Latte with Oat Milk and it was probably one of the best cups I’ve ever had. You could actually smell the lavender. The foam was perfect and the cup was just delightful delicious. I also bought 4 cupcakes ( 2 red velvet, 1 lemon & 1 pistachio) they didn’t even make it home the kids ate them up. I was told they were finger licking good. I also purchased 2 vegan scones, 1 cheddar & chive biscuits & 1 cinnamon roll. I think I paid $40 for 8 bakery items & 2 lattes. So the price was great ? this spot is a must if you love fresh food made with love and good ingredients.Vegetarian options: Had more than just 1 option for Vegan/Vegetarian.“
“Great service and food. Loved the scallop entree and the cauliflower appetizer. The noise level is a bit too high...high ceilings and close tables of large groups next to smaller tables makes it difficult to hear across the table. This is my only complaint as the food and service are wonderful“
“Absolutely fantastic donuts! If you’re looking for a good craft donut, this place is a must try. Perfect texture, size and they taste just as good as they look. Not too much seating to sit in and enjoy. They also make great gifts! People are always impressed “
“One of my favorite spots. The staff is always warm and welcoming. I enjoy taking the kids to celebrate their birthdays here for a one on one treat. Get a coffee from next door and take a nice break with a great cupcake.Kid-friendliness: Super kid-friendly. Staff is always nice!“
“Great atmosphere Family Friendly both Owner and His wife went to my table make sure our visit went well my server was excellent as well. I want to personally thank Mr Carson for making my dine in experience A plus This will be my go to spot moving forward hands down.Parking: In a plaza not an issueKid-friendliness: Great Menu my 4 year old loved the Mac and cheese for kidsMy 11 yr old had the steak“
“Food was very good. The pot stickers (dumplings) had plenty of meat and fried just right. The Mongolian Beef was good as well. The service was ok. The male waiter was kind of stiff and unengaged but the young lady was the complete opposite, which made the meal a little more pleasant.“
“Shout out to CHRISEvery time I come in he goes above and beyond to answer any questions I have. He doesn’t rush through my order, he takes time to explain the specials they have going on. He is such a sweetie and I truly appreciate his hard work. Customer service is lacking these days but Chris is such a breath of fresh air and somebody needs to give him a bonus/raise! Thank you so much Chris!!! You’re awesome and you have a great team!!“

Tamara’s attentive and caring nature makes you feel like part of the Brixx family. Her passion for unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction are truly remarkable. Sitting at her bar isn't just about drinks; it's an immersion into a world of delightful flavors and genuine hospitality. Tamara, thank you for consistently making our visits to Brixx Pizza absolutely wonderful!“
“Visited Portofino's with my mom for an early Sunday supper. Enjoyed the stromboli which had a nice, light bread crust and plenty of cheese. Arianna was pleasant and attentive in her service to our table. Servings are generous and our food arrived quickly. All around a great experience at Portofino's in the Arboretum!“
“Nice to have a local authentic pizza place. Ordered from here a handful of times and never disappointed. Love how many options they have for pizza and besides pizza. I’m more than happy to wait and there kind and apologetic when it happens.“
“We have been looking for good NY style pizza since we moved from Upstate NY. We decided to try Tony’s pizza because we had heard good things about it from our neighbors. We ordered a build your own pizza with ricotta. We loved how they swirled the ricotta around the whole pie. The toppings were very generous and the thin crust was crispy but not overdone. And on the leftover reheat…just as good as when it was fresh! As a bonus we were able to order the fried mushrooms as an appetizer. They were delicious and something you don’t find in too many places! We will definitely be returning!“
“Wife and I absolutely love this place, have only ordered delivery through Doordash when we order but definitely need to come by and check the place out! My kids LOVE the Mac & Cheese bites with the cheese dip and the Chicken Parmesan bowl is always delicious ?“
“What a world of difference between this location (Galleria) and the university location. The service was so fast and neat as I noticed the staff working in a way it made me feel humble, and as I don’t go out of the way to give positive reviews frequently. However the staff working tonight at this location merits recognition of excellent service. I took the time after my order to personally thank them (Shaina/Austin). They made me feel humble by their stellar service. I felt they deserved to be appreciated.Thanks, Jay“
“I had an incredible experience at Smoothie King! Their smoothies are not only delicious but also healthy. The staff was friendly and helpful in recommending the perfect blend for my taste. Nessa was my cashier and she was the best!!! Best customer service I’ve ever received. The variety of options is impressive, and the quality of ingredients is top-notch. I love the fact that I can customize my smoothie to fit my dietary needs. The prices are reasonable, considering the quality and portion sizes. Overall, I can't recommend Smoothie King enough – it's a 5-star smoothie haven!“
“I recently experienced a positive exchange with the ownership. The new owner is superb, bringing a fresh and positive energy.The quality of the bread at this establishment is truly exceptional. The flavors are rich, the texture is perfect, and it's evident that a lot of care and expertise goes into each loaf. Kudos to the new owner for delivering such delightful, top-notch bread! Highly recommended!“
“I needed multiple pizzas for a school club party. The assistant manager was awesome and told me about the party deal that’s available in store but not online. I ordered the day before and all 7 pizzas arrived on time the next day. My students loved them!“
“We love Chicken Salad Chick and have been to multiple locations, but most recently came back to this one as our closest one is temporarily closed.Chicken Salad Favorites:Sassy Scotty - ranch, bacon and cheeseBuffalo Barclay - ranch and buffalo saucePam's Parmesan Caesar - this is a seasonal, but it really should be permanent as Caesar goes amazing in chicken salad. This is my ultimate favorite.Other Chicken Salads we like from time to time:Olivia's Old South - egg and picklesFancy Nancy - apples, grapes, and pecansKickin Kay Lynne - buffalo sauce, ranch, bacon, cheese, jalapenos, and srirachaSandwiches:Turkey Club - this is a great alternative if you do not want chicken salad.Turkey Pesto - My husband's favorite, but it is not currently on the menu.Chicken Salad BLT - pick your favorite chicken salad for a great sandwich!Sides:Broccoli Salad - only issue with this is it is inconsistently made. Sometimes it is very runny, which then soaks a sandwich if you get a takeout order (which happened this last time).Drinks:Strawberry Lemonade - sweet and refreshingDesserts:Iced Cookies - haven't tried any desserts other than the included iced cookies, but they are so good!Definitely recommend Chicken Salad Chick for a great lunch option. Get the large quick chicks of chicken salad to go for lunches throughout the week!“
“Here from out of town for 5 days, this is my go to spot for 4 of them. The food is better than your average "bar type" food, the service all week has been great, and overall a great place to visit. Everyone, from management on down to the hostess, has been extremely polite and personable. Personally recommend the Carolina cheesesteak and honey bee sting wings. And if you ever get to meet nicole(regional gm), consider yourself lucky. Looking forward to my next work trip back here.“
“B’zzz cakes did an amazing job on the cake and cupcakes for my son’s fire truck themed birthday party. The cake and cupcakes looked exactly like the design photos I sent and somehow tasted even better! Everyone at the party commented on how delicious and cute they were. Communicating with the bakery was easy, professional and timely. I highly recommend B’zzz cakes and will be a returning customer!“
