Backyard Bistro at Charlotte Crossings

We always get the Brussel sprouts and have always been impressed. The cost/value ratio is inline with the quality of the product. Highly recommend.

What a strange experience. We reserved a table in “main room” and once we arrived with my blind (and physically limited mom) and my 86 year old dad we were told we had to sit at a high top with chairs that have to back and where my mom’s feet didn’t even touch the foot bar (by the time we were done eating her legs were numb and her back hurt more than it does on a normal day). The food was generally ok, but the side dishes were undercooked (carrots) and the mashed potatoes were so salty they were inedible (for one of us, the other person’s was ok). It took 15 mins for new mashed potatoes and by then everyone was done. Overall disappointing, especially given the expensive prices.

We really wanted to love it here but it mostly missed the mark. my husband and I both ordered smash burgers and were very disappointed. they were INCREDIBLY dry. we both asked for extra special sauce just to slather on some moisture. the fries and caesar salad were fine. the smoked manhattan was quite good and the creme brûlée was delicious - the highlight of the meal.

Last time I went there, I paid ~$35 for a still partially frozen lobster roll. Mediocre foods and service. If you’re looking for a predominantly white people restaurant where you overpay for partly underprepared food, this is the place.

Excellent food and drink. I had chicken Marsala which was delicious. Chicken was tender and juicy with just the right amount of sauce. Veggies were perfect. My wife had the gourmet Mac and cheese which has delicious BBQ meat and mouth-watering blend of cheese and pasta. The one detraction was a slight odor of mildewed plastic in the backyard tent. Wife could not smell it, but it was a little off-putting to me. Cocktail was high-end. All in all a pleasant evening. We were glad they could serve us without a reservation.

Our server and host were both fantastic, and the fried pickles were good. However, the smash burger was very bland and the bun was stale. The lettuce was browned and limp. The fries were the worst part though. Very obviously cooked hours before and then reheated. Some were completely dry and rubbery, some were just sogged with grease. Drinks were okay but not commensurate with the price.

Visiting on vacation. Picked this restaurant because they had outdoor seating and allowed our dog. Great food and service.

Everything here is delicious. Light sauces but packed with flavor, herby drinks to die for. The bolognese is a must try.

Very good food & excellent service. We were especially impressed with the way both co-owner and server handled a mishap with one of our dishes.
Ok GF, but not great.
