The 50 best breakfast and brunch in Charlotte

To start, the service was awesome. the server was very personable, and it was very busy as it was mothers Day. We got there early and had a nice brunch. The food selection on our menues was kind if limited for a place in this area, but the food we had was very good. My only issue was the price to quantity. We had 4 people, no alcohol and no extras, and our bill was over 100 dollars. It was good, but on a scale of where this food was to the price point could have been better, here are a few pics of our meals. As always, I look forward to reading responses and please like and follow for more super food reviews

Great service. Ebony was quick and attentive, made sure our drinks were refilled and offered good recommendations. I got the French Toast with ricotta. It was good but overwhelmingly sweet. I thought it was a small portion at first but it makes sense for how sweet it is.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Sonya, and she was phenomenal. From the moment we sat down, Sonya made us feel welcome and taken care of — she was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Her timing was perfect: drinks were always topped off, plates cleared quickly, and she checked in often without ever being overbearing. She had great menu knowledge, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. It’s rare to come across a server who combines professionalism with such an upbeat, genuine personality. Sonya truly elevated our meal and turned it into something special. If you’re dining here, ask for Sonya — you’ll be so glad you did!

Ms. Sonya was an absolutely wonderful waitress! She was so friendly, welcoming, and warm in her attitude and conversation! She gave detailed and thoughtful recommendations for food and places to visit in Charlotte, the state of NC in general, and SC too! She even took time to sit with us and answer various questions we had, and once we left to take pictures outside, she even helped us to take a group photo together! Also, the food was delicious and we can tell it was freshly made! We got the red velvet pancakes and the vegan hash, both of which were amazing!! The atmosphere of the place was cozy and fun too!

A Wonderful Charlotte Find — A Must-Visit I’ve been in Charlotte for three years and, until now, have only been here once before — and that visit was fantastic. This time, my son and his friend came to town, and I picked this place to dine. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the welcome set the tone for the morning. The staff, especially the bartenders, were phenomenal. Every person who greeted us made us feel at home, and their warmth and attentiveness elevated the entire meal. The bartenders crafted delicious drinks with flair, and their hospitality made us feel like regulars from the first hello. The food was consistently superb across the board. One of us ordered the shrimp and grits, another enjoyed the pancakes and chicken, and I treated myself to the French toast. Each dish was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and perfectly plated. The flavors were vibrant, the portions satisfying, and the presentation was spot-on. This is a must-stop for anyone visiting Charlotte, whether you’re in town for a day or a local looking for a standout dining experience. Please keep up the fantastic service and the wonderful food — you’ve earned a lasting place on our list of favorites. If you’re in town, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. You won’t be disappointed. The staff, the bartenders, and everyone who greets you deserve all the praise, and the food speaks for itself. A truly memorable evening, thank you ALL.

Dale was awesome! GM very friendly. Top notch CS! Food was excellent… Ricotta Stuffed French Toast and Short Rib Hash. Atmosphere casual. Mimosas are over priced but we still enjoyed it all.

If you go on the weekend be prepared to wait. They usually stay pretty busy even during the week. I have been several times and the service is pretty consistent and our food was good. The inside of the restaurant is small, but they do offer outdoor dining if you’re into that. Pictured are the chicken and pancakes, pancake breakfast with sausage and eggs, short rib grilled cheese with fries 🤌🏾

First time at Eddie’s and we are glad decided to give it a try. Ordered Prime rib lunch special and Red Beans and rice with grilled chicken and blackened shrimp. Both were delicious. The chicken and waffles looked great and so did hamburgers. We will be back to give them a try.

The restaurant has been open in Charlotte for as long as I can remember. Each time you drive by it is always full. Now I know why! I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and had a 10 minute wait which isn't bad. Once in the restaurant it was busy with waiter / waitresses taking orders and bringing food out to tables. I had a cup of gumbo which was excellent!!! The main dish was black beans and rice with shrimp. Absolutely 💯 delicious 😋! Everything was worth the wait. If you are in the area stop in and get some amazing tasting food!

Went here for Sunday lunch. Saw it had good reviews Waited 10 minutes. Sat. Server took our drink order and asked we were ready to order. We didn't even look at the menu. Once we ordered it was off the races for the kitchen. We ordered the she crab soup. It was good, would have been nice if it was hotter in temp. As soon as I had my spoon in the soup our salads came out. Then half way through having our salads our food came out. Personally for me, I don't like to be flooded with food like that. However, this may be a way they keep turning tables. Their version shrimp and grits was good with ample amount of shrimp. Rice and beans was way too spicy. The shrimp were so seasoned that the season crunched as you bit in. This dish was a fail. When you find yourself commenting on how good the bread is more then the meal itself should be an indicator of food quality. At least for me, I didn't see any love with any of the food. But beyond that, the fact the food was rushed made it less enjoyable dining experience. While this may be a perfect neighborhood bar, I probably would not go back.

I’m totally blown away by the level of quality and taste of the food here. The service was truly exceptional. We were greeted at the front door. The food was delicious there was no way we were going to not take the leftovers with us. Please don’t sleep on this place. If you do you will be very sorry.

Our waitress Anna was wonderful. Never had been to Charlotte before and was told by folks online to stop here. Did not disappoint. The biscuit was amazing and the Parm grits you can't miss. If you are vegetarian, you can ask to substitute meat for a side at no additional cost. We were nervous about a wait but on a Wednesday morning round 10am, it was no wait. Our total was about $22 for two breakfasts, before tip. 5/5

Had brunch here today and I’m so glad we discovered this hidden gem! The chicken and waffles were perfection — crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Our waitress went above and beyond, making the experience even better with her friendly attitude and great service. Can’t wait to come back!

Everyone has gotta try this place. I thought it was more of a very generic southern breakfast place before actually getting here, was I mistaken! This place is more like a local, upscale, hole on the wall that serves drinks and smashing good food! Had the assignment Benedict, which was great! Sauce wasn't broken, ham was not to salty, homefries good and the homemade hash was killer. Wife has the South Chicken+Gravy biscuit. She smashed that thing! Coffee was flowing, atmosphere was cool and chill. 10000% know why this place stays busy as heck! Absolutely a MUST TRY on CLT.

Four years from now, the Dunhill Hotel will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Ninety-six years ago, when the hotel’s architect, Mr. Louis Asbury, was designing it, he probably didn’t imagine that the hotel’s restaurant would one day be named after him — or that his name would be given to a delicious burger I ordered yesterday, along with a salad. Mr. Chong served me; he was a kind, humble, and humorous man. I wanted to see the second floor as well, but it wasn’t possible. I really loved the warm and friendly atmosphere of the restaurant, and the Asbury Burger was excellent. Ben, Local Guide.

We went here for the pre-Wicked menu.The service was excellent, but the food was disappointing. The online menu said beef tenderloin would be served, but we received a very fatty bland strip steak. The fat was not rendered properly. The meat was cold, unseasoned, and not seared. It tasted like it had been steamed. The vegetables were okay. The shrimp appetizer tasted like it was made with frozen shrimp. The lemon meringue pie was lackluster and soggy. I would not recommend this restaurant. They did have a wine bottle special and validated parking. The food was very overpriced for poor quality.

Was staying at the Dunhill Hotel so went downstairs for breakfast. It was delicious ! Great food. Tried the chicken and waffles.

Our server was amazing! She went above and beyond and really did a great job with our party of 16! Food was delicious, atmosphere was very personal and quaint. Definitely recommend! 👌🏼

We went to The Asbury on Thursday, July 31, 2025 for lunch and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hostess/waitress was absolutely one of the most delightful, polite, and attentive waitresses I’ve ever encountered. She made entire experience top notch. I didn’t get her name, but she deserves a raise! She was handling the entire dining room with grace, professionalism, and a smile. Truly delightful. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced for lunch. We were thrilled with our entire dining experience!

Left after waiting 15 mins for them to acknowledge us or take a drink order. No one was served food in the 15 mins, another couple left complaining about how long it was taking, we had a show to make so we decided to jump the gun and leave before it got too bad. We joked we felt like on an episode of kitchen nightmares, everyone looked INCREDIBLY frazzled for 6:30 on a Friday, the restaurant has like 8 tables 😮‍💨

This place is a really nice spot if you want to go for brunch + breakfast. I went on a Sunday and the outside patio was packed, so expect maybe to wait for a table if the weather is nice outside otherwise inside is usually pretty open. My friends and I got the Big Bun Cinnamon roll and it was really good. I think if I really had to nit pick I would have wanted it to be more warmed up/ hot and then I think it would have made it taste even better. It was just barely warm/ at room temperature, but still tasted good nonetheless. We also got their seasonal Cinnamon Toast Crunch cappuccino and their classic chicken biscuits. The chicken was season very well and the gravy was really tasty. The biscuit itself is different so I can see some people either not liking it as much or really love it. Overall, everything tasted good and the waiters and staff were really nice and the overall restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Their parking lot is really small btw so you will need to plan maybe ahead to find some parking near by. I’d come back here again a solid 7.5/10. 👍

Beer was fantastic and nice outdoor patio and vibe inside. The QR ordering system was down due to city wide power outage so we went inside to order and the bartenders who helped us were lovely. We both ordered the shishito salad (small) with grilled chicken, and this dish was our only gripe. It was put together by someone who has never had a salad, and surely hasn’t tried the one they made. The bowl was small but packed to the brim with the salad contents - this would have been manageable but the chicken was uncut (the photo shows it after I painfully sliced it up), and the dressing wasn’t tossed with the salad. It was also under dressed, and this is coming from someone who prefers less than normal dressing. The shishitos were cold and weren’t grilled long enough as-is. They should rework this dish. At minimum, slice your meats and toss the salad so a patron can easily eat the salad without it exploding on the table. That said, the ingredients were quality.

Great spot that we frequent a lot! While it’s a brewery, their rotating food and coffee (s/o Kelly’s coffee program - the Salted Butterscotch latte is amazing) are also very good. I see they have pizza right now so we’ll need to try that next time. Definitely a must visit if you’re in town, walking the rail trail, or just want a nice spot to hangout and chat.

Cool brewery/restaurant with nice brunch and coffee menu. Had a long layover in CLT and spent a few hours here. Friendly staff, good vibe.

ANNE with Offline - This was a wonderful experience. I had the burrarita flatbread and my friend had the chicken Sammie. Both were so flavorful, perfectly cooked and quick service. The chicken was crispy topped with softest lightly toasted bread😋. They have a variety of mocktails for those who still want a fun drink without the alcohol.

Connor with Offline - The Cubano De Suffolk is a must-try—the bacon is absolutely unreal! The coffee is always excellent (I especially enjoyed the Americano), and the service is consistently top-notch. A spot I’ll keep coming back to.

Food was good, vibes & the DJs were awesome. However, the service was nonexistent (not a big deal), but the parking lot situation SUCKS. We were unable to leave for AN HOUR after we were done, because another parked car was blocking our way out. We went inside to speak to the manager on duty, and he said that he couldn’t have it towed since they were parked legally (despite the lousy parking job) and that he would “ask around the tables to see” if they could find the owner of the car to have them move. We waited for an hour, and nothing... Manager never came to check, never saw any of the wait staff asking around, nothing. During that wait, several other cars also had hard times backing out of their parking spots & leaving too, requiring their passengers to hop outside to help guide/direct the drivers from hitting the other cars. Eventually after an hour and a 1,000-point turn, and the help of several strangers, we were able to slip out the crammed parking lot. The car that had us blocked in was still in its exact spot as we left. I enjoyed the food and the live DJ, and would’ve came back again, but we spent more time trying to leave the parking lot than we spent at our table ordering and eating our food.

Overall, my food experience was excellent. The bartender who took my order was friendly and provided great service. I especially love their food options, like the chicken sausage, and their cheesy grits, which are creamy perfection. The food remains consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. However, I did have an awkward moment with the waiter who handled my payment—I believe their name was Jade or Jada. While I was still eating, I was suddenly presented with the bill and the payment machine, which felt a bit rushed. On another note, parking can be quite difficult due to very limited spaces. Also, wait times during the week are noticeably shorter compared to weekends, when large parties tend to cause delays. Despite these minor issues, I would still recommend this spot for its consistently good food and the friendly service at the bar.

I recently tried the Habanero Pork Belly Breakfast Fried Rice (Jasmine-garlic fried rice with braised habanero pork belly, sautéed red bell peppers, onions, poblanos, carrots and pineapple. Topped with Sriracha maple aioli, two crispy sunny-side up eggs, scallions and kimchi spice) for $16.25 and I've got mixed feelings on the experience. The waitress was mid at best but lets put that aside. I've been to Snooze several times including the original location in Colorado long ago. I love breakfast food but never make time for it in the morning so Snooze for lunch / brunch is always a treat (side note.. I really wish they were open for dinner for all of us that want breakfast for dinner). Anyway.. I tried the Habanero Pork Belly Fried Rice and loved it.. loved every bite of it.. all ten bites at least. It was delicious but for $16+ wayyy smaller than my man sized appetite was looking for. I wish I brought a $2 microwave rice with me just to bulk up the serving bc I ended up grabbing something otw home after leaving Snooze. All in all, great food but for my preference.. it was either too small or too expensive for what I got.

I’m was craving pancakes and they did not disappoint!!! Got the sampler plate, the one the strawberries was to die for. Also go the bacon it was fantastic! Also ordered the pork belly benny. Hey do half orders or Bennys too!!! Staff was wonderful and fun, tasty Bloody Mary! We got there early and I love that they open early!! No wait when you get there at 7:30am!

Food here was delicious and decently priced! The shrimp and grits were my favorite and the strawberry shortcake pancakes were delicious! They made my boyfriend’s order wrong but quickly able to rectify it. There was some lack of attention from server and preferred drink items were sold out. Overall, a good experience and would eat here again because of the food!

Visited Charlotte and had to try this place out, as so many people recommended it! It absolutely did not disappoint! The pork belly Benedict was absolutely amazing! Fantastic mimosas too! Glad we stopped by!

Laid back atmosphere. Busy, but fast. The staff is very friendly and it feels so welcoming, like home. Food is bomb as well! They also have vegetarian options!

This place was really amazing.We had great food.I absolutely loved the bugogi fried rice.I got a chai latte as well.I have never been asked if I wanted it more sweet or spicy and doing it half and half made it more than likely the best chai latte i've had. It was a Sunday morning when we went, so they were really busy. I didn't get my eggs the first time when my food came out. That's the only reason I said 4 stars on service, but they corrected it really fast. All of the food came out insanely quick, so I will definitely be coming back.

Googled "best brunch in Charlotte" and was not disappointed at all! Pictures are of the loaded tots, breakfast tacos (get added meat because there wasn't a lot of meat on these, aka one shrimp...), hot honey chicken and French toast bites, and cinnamon swirl pancakes. Not pictured is the Irish coffee and bacon bloody Mary. The tots had a unique flavor that was not only surprising but good. The tacos were pretty meh. But I come back to Charlotte for the hot honey chicken with French toast bites and the cinnamon swirl waffles. Phenomenal. Only down side was the wait (they do have an option to get on a wait list on the website... do it) and having to basically climb on the bar to get the one bartender's attention for a drink while we waited to be seated. Great brunch place!

We moved to the Charlotte are and have been looking for an amazing brunch spot for the last year. We have found a winner. The food was amazing. The Bloody Mary was perfect and Tasha our server was attentive and helpful! We will be back. Make sure to get on the wait list before you come. 80 minute wait but only 10 minutes at the restaurant

Came to Charlotte and have never been so after a little looking around we found this great spot near our hotel -the quality definitely exceeded the price of the menu -my boyfriend hot hot honey chicken and French toast and I got shrimp and grits. As someone who lives at the beach I was very impressed with the quality of the shrimp and the seasoning of the grits was the best I’ve ever had. As far as staff they were all very nice and helpful.

Yesterday was my first time visiting this place. Apparently, this is a very popular place with the 1 1/2 hour wait time! 😄 The food was definitely worth the wait. The service was adequate for the time of day and capacity. The fried green tomatoes were on point!! 😋 I had the shrimp & grits. Though delicious, the grits were a little watery. Thus, giving the dish more of a soup feel. My wife loved her shrimp omelet and the french toast bites. The atmosphere was nice. I can most definitely add Ruby Sunshine to my "favorite spots" list, and I will recommend to others enthusiastically. 😃 But, THICKEN UP THEM GRITS!!! 😂😂

Went for Saturday Brunch and it was a steady stream of customers. We had the Trifecta Benedicts and Eggs Cochon Food was very very good, but giving 4 stars instead of 5 b/c it was warm vs hot when it arrived Had a Ruby Mimosa on the side and that was also tasty. Their coffee is solid too. Definitely recommend :)

It was my first time here. I had the Pumpkin chai stuffed french toast and it was scrumptious, huge serving! I accompanied with a perfectly brewed Cappuccino. Great service, great ambiance and plenty of parking. I will definitely be coming back!

We loved EVERYTHING about this place. Tasha was an awesome server and gave us a GREAT recommendation on the Very Berry Beignets - you only have about two weeks left to try them and they're WELL worth the cost and calories! Even enjoyed the music playing overhead. We can't wait to come back with others!

We had a great experience at Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen in Charlotte, NC. The atmosphere was warm and inviting with a nice mix of modern charm and Southern comfort. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits along with the Farmhouse Breakfast Platter, both of which are pictured here. The Shrimp and Grits were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The grits were creamy and the shrimp had just the right amount of seasoning. The Farmhouse Platter was a hearty and satisfying choice, with fresh ingredients and generous portions that hit all the classic breakfast notes. We arrived right at opening on a Sunday morning, so it was nice to beat the rush. However, our table wasn’t properly cleaned when we were seated, which was a little off putting. Also, be aware that you can’t order mimosas before 10 AM on Sundays due to local alcohol laws. (Something we didn’t know ahead of time.) Service was friendly and attentive overall, and our food came out in a timely manner. The only reason we're giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because of those small hiccups and the fact that while everything was solid and delicious, it didn’t quite hit that unforgettable “wow” factor but, it came close! Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and craving elevated Southern fare done right.

We stopped by for Saturday afternoon brunch and enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant had a good and the outdoor seating was nice. Our server, Nico was nice and hospitable and provided some good recommendations like the Smothered Chicken & Biscuits, which were delicious. Our food came pretty quickly too. Good restaurant overall in the heart of uptown.

The chicken is famous and should be, the lightly dusted is perfect for southern charm. The cereal milk martini was so delightful, I had to sip it just to make it last. The Mahi was really spicy but well done. The fried green tomatoes were average. I wouldn't say the food is amazing, but it is good. I would say the service is amazing and the atmosphere is worth the stop.

Food was excellent and filling! The sweet potato pancake was very good though it started feeling too sweet towards the end. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone who enjoys a sweet breakfast though. We also got the mac n cheese and chicken waffle, but without the spice. Their chicken is absolutely amazing and the next time I visit I'll definitely be getting something with chicken. An entree only + tip will put you just around $20, anything more and you'll go over.

Lovely spot for lunch. I got the Sriracha honey fried chicken sandwich with collard greens on the side and my wife got the original fried chicken and waffles. All the staff were friendly and the place was really clean. I'd come back next time I'm in town.

We had such a great time! We had a big group for a birthday and Cody was great!!! He was so helpful and patient with our wild bunch! He got every food order and drink order correct! Cody was a joy and laughed with us the whole time! You should definitely request Cody when you come!! The food was great! The drinks were amazing! Everything was soooo tasty! And the atmosphere was perfect! I highly recommend coming here for dinner or lunch!

Had dinner here with friends in town for a Real Estate conference, setting reservations was easy, service was personable and great! I got the chicken Cobb salad, it was the perfect size and delicious!

Delicious brunch in a casual atmosphere. Great breakfast and lunch options. Lots of seating. Traditional food with great healthy choices too. Love their seasonal cocktails sand mimosas. Fast friendly service. Perfect for girls brunch or a lunch date. Food is affordable. Highly recommend.

We ordered take-out about an hour ago (receipt attached in the photo). When we got home, we noticed that the item I circled on the receipt — OTS Sausage Gravy White — was missing from our order. Unfortunately, we couldn’t call because the restaurant was already closed after 3 PM, and it made no sense to drive back. The order was fully paid for, but part of it was not provided. Also, please note that we asked the cashier if there was a Military discount. She confirmed there was, and even after my husband showed his Military ID, the discount was never applied.

It was a first time for this place. My husband and I decided a random breakfast date was the move, so we found somewhere we hadn't been that was not too far away. It was a perfect choice. We both got the stuffed french toast, and it was so good, coupled with their warm maple syrup, and I had their freshly squeezed orange juice that was out of this world, in my opinion. Like, do they squeeze the oranges themselves each morning? I was superr impressed. Our server was friendly, but she only came to us once befor our food cam,e and when she dropped off the food, she quickly came back with the bill. Although she said no rush and the bill was just there for when we were ready, that is one of my pet peeves is the bill being brought before we request it. It almost always means the server is done with you for the most part, and she did not return until we wanted a box. What if we had needed something? This time that wasn't the case, but I didn't love that. So that is why I neglected one star from service. The atmosphere was nice however I thing need some updates like they're dated dated silverware old school. Wooden chairs that fell over anytime someone tried to put something heavy on the back like a book bag, and the floor was super sticky. So I'm not sure why. But that's what cost a star in atmosphere. Out side of that I realy did enjoy breakfast and we will be going back to try other things off the menu because every plate that passed by us looked and smelled amazing.

Today we came to eat at the famous toasty at 2:22, They close at 3:00. We knew we were running late yet and still the food was excellent. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. Our food was Hot and on the table within five minutes. The coffee was great and authentic and the service was amazing , special kudos to Meonka.

Came here for brunch with some friends. Had the stuffed strawberry & creme French toast and it was really good. Added eggs with pepper jack cheese & thick cut bacon that was also very good. Staff was quick & nice.

The family & I love eating brunch on Saturdays. Famous Toastery never disappoints from a food perspective. The service could have been better today, but we intend to come back another day.

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Only complaint is its definitely crowded! Other than that food & drinks are amazing

My husband and I went here and it was absolutely amazing I take five stars seriously so if I'm leaving five stars it was well worth it and this place got five stars all the way around for every category. You are not wasting your time going here The food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The waitresses were fabulous. We had a great time. Thanks honey! 😀

First visit today and we had breakfast for dinner. One of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. The western omelette was perfectly cooked with plenty of ham and cheese. The homemade biscuit was served piping hot. The star of the meal was the grits. They were creamy and a great portion came with my meal.

My server was nice, the atmosphere was th he atmosphere of a diner. But the food.. it's a different story. My daughter got the Fish and Shrimp w/ fried. I got 10 CT wings/ fries. My daughter enjoyed her S&F but didn't care for the fries.I was so disappointed with my meal (10ct Garlic Teriyaki wings)$$ The wings tasted like they were poured out of a bag, maybe washed, and if so, barely. Dipped in oil, sprayed with some watered down Teriyaki glaze and the garlic skipped completely. I was asked what kind of sauce i wanted, I asked for ranch but got.... well I'm not sure what it was that i got. If I ever go there again it will only be for the Chocolate Cake, which was very good. I didn't much care for the fries either.

We took a step back into the 50s. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. We got the best food ever. In fact one of our party members is the most pickiest person ever and she gave the place her blessing. The Philly cheesesteak was delicious, their fries were seasoned well,one of our group members ordered fish and said that it was delicious as well. Not a single complaint, it was fast and reasonably priced.

We’re are here visiting for a concert over the weekend from Tennessee and decided to try this place and we are so happy we did because this is by far one of the best restaurants we have tried in a long time. The food is packed with flavor and the portions you get are amazing! Our waitress Kei was nothing but amazing she stood on business she is constantly moving and helping out all of the customers!! She was ready to give us all of her recommendations and what the top choices were! She definitely needs some Recognition and a raise! You go girl!

After a night of meeting up with family, we walked to Midnight Diner for a quick bite. I was staying at the Moxy which is right next to the restaurant. There was a small wait to get in, but the food made it all worth it.

The only problem with Midnight Diner is that it isn’t where I live. We stopped there for breakfast this morning and it was an 100/10 experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is equal parts retro, homey and welcoming. Our server Nacaska was an angel… she was so kind with the best vibes, made great recommendations on the menu and took great care of us while providing great conversation as well. I had the midnight special and every part of it was delicious, but the grits were the standout. I didn’t know grits could be that good. A must-visit if you’re in the Charlotte area, will definitely be going back anytime I’m in town!

Great service. Food was ok but a little too salty and toxic for me. My daughter loved the chicken and waffles. It was her first time trying it. I probably won’t be back because I’m more of a clean eater and when I saw what kind of syrup they were refilling the syrup bottles with that just did it for me.

Tried Flying Biscuit Cafe after hearing a lot about their biscuits and gravy, so I ordered that with chicken. It was decent-not bad, but I've definitely had better. The location is nice, the vibe is casual and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly. Lots of parking available and prices are very reasonable. Overall, a solid spot if you're nearby, but not something I'd go out of my way for.

Came for Breakfast..staff was very friendly and helpful especially since 2 in our party were there first time there. Our server Kat was awesome. Our food was hot and delicious. My party said they are definitely coming back with or without me. Lol

If you're looking for Southern comfort breakfast in Charlotte, look no further My fiance and I just moved to Charlotte and we've been looking for a good affordable breakfast spot. The flying biscuit checked all of our boxes. Fantastic food, awesome service, very affordable, big portions. I got the stuffed French toast breakfast and I can't get over how good it was. The French toast was so fluffy and the raspberry puree on it was such a good balance between sweet and tart. The eggs and sausage were cooked perfectly, and the grits, biscuits, and apple butter were phenomenal. I've been searching for great grits and I think I've found my perfect grits. I ended up buying a jar of the apple butter and I'm very surprised it was only $5! All in all we will definitely be coming back. PS pro tip: put a little bit of apple butter in your coffee. It sounds weird but it's SO good

I was seated promptly for a party of 1. My food was delicious as expected. Great customer service. Variety of food choices. This was a Sunday after church. I ordered several Entrees to take home for the week.

DELICIOUS! everyone was so hospitable. Our main waitress was giving us some feels but the hotess came and took care of us and she was super sweet. All of the hostesses and not sure who the guy that spoke to us was but they were great.

I tried this place because I love biscuits plus they don’t have this in NYC. The mini Shrimp and Grits is delicious the tomato sauce really compliments the dish. My only complaint is that I wish the biscuit was warmer but the apple butter that came with it was good though. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick. Everyone was very friendly.

Discover a hidden gem that will leave you speechless! From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by exceptional service that truly stands out. The highlight of the menu? The shrimp and grits—absolutely amazing and a must-try! Check out the attached photos to see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed, and the outstanding customer service will make your visit unforgettable! Come and experience it for yourself!

Really nice ambiance! Decorated very well with R&B/Hip-Hop themed art. They VALIDATE PARKING in the on-site garage. Menu had a nice selection of brunch items. Price point is a bit high. Service was fast and friendly. We went on a slow weekday. I tried the sweet potato waffle and wings along with the shrimp and grits.

Stopped in for breakfast and had a great overall experience. The French Toast, Home Fries, and Pancakes were excellent. Very friendly and quick service. Definitely would describe it as simple breakfast dishes done really well. The one criticism we had was the price. Nearly $100 after tip for a simple breakfast for two would likely keep us from making this place a more regular visit as opposed to just an occasional treat.

Finally decided to give this place a try since it’s been taking over my social media and they did not disappoint. I was a walk in and sat at the bar. Grabbed a mimosa while waiting. Would recommend making a reservation if you don’t have time to waste. Chicken wings seasoned to perfection , waffle was fluffy , grits thick , and the mimosa did what it was suppose to do. Nice atmosphere and playlist was spot on. Will definitely come back!!

This is my second time trying Uptown Yolk and it did not disappoint. I went for brunch and ordered the sangria/margarita (the name is escaping me) and I also ordered the french toast with chicken and added a side of eggs. The chicken was fried and seasoned perfectly! I took some home to my husband and he was disappointed I didn’t bring more. I am also not a french toast girlie but the dolce sauce on the side was a perfect complement to the french toast and fried chicken. My friend ordered the omelette with a side of potatoes. The potatoes were delicious and also fried to perfection. I also noticed they had a premium selection of liquor, this is def the perfect spot to take the girls or even a brunch date with your significant other.

Very nice breakfast restaurant in South End. The Shrimp and Grits were delicious. The service and atmosphere was amazing. I have no complaints.

I gave a 4 for the service time. It was a bit slow. Reservation was at 12:45 got our food almost a hour later. I will admit it was worth the wait with how great that damn food tasted. The majority of eating my meal I was cursing. Not out of anger but out of shock. The omelet had soooo much flavor. Then them potatoes. I'm still confused at how you can get those to taste so damn good. All that flavor and they were crispy. Overall, they had zero misses with the quality of the food. The timing was off... Dope spot. Just have to be patient I guess.

Excellent dining experience - on numerous occasions - but especially for dinner/late night cocktails. While they do it all and do it all reasonably well at that. They excel at creating a dinner & cocktail experience that feels both hip upscale yet full of southern charm. As our waitress stated, you really can't go wrong with anything on their dinner menu - the chef creates beautifully balanced flavors. The staff are all very pleasant and attentive. And overall they are able to accommodate even last minute reservations which is very appreciated. The only negative for me personally is that the inside gets a bit loud, good if you like the crowd feel, but the rooftop and (new) patio dining in front are perfect spots to enjoy a chill meal and some fresh evening air! Pictures: Tuno Crudo (100% would recommend - shocked by how good the flavors mix), Pan-Roasted Chicken w/gumbo & okra, Black Striped Seabass, Citrus Creme Brulee (best desert in Southend for anyone who loves citrus). Drinks: Hanging Garden & Ember's Kiss. Would recommend all of these!

The last time I came here it was about 3 years ago for a friend’s birthday. It was wonderful then and tonight seemed even more exceptional. I got this amazing pasta with meatballs (3 types of meat) in a garlic cream sauce with asparagus. My drink of choice was the Desert Bloom. My friend got Steak frites— also exceptional. Sammy (Sammie?) was our server and she was amazing! Thanks again for such a great visit!!! I can’t wait to come back!

Great Saturday brunch at Lincoln Street. 2nd visit here and the biscuit and gravy was just as good as I remembered! Multiple people enjoyed the huevos rancheros. Bacon and hash were excellent. Reserved a table for 5 the morning of with no issues. Definitely walk ins available for smaller groups. Make sure to arrive with your whole party or they won’t seat you. Great service, highly recommend.

What an enjoyable experience! From beginning to end, Lincoln Street Kitchen delivered on a tasty brunch. First, the host and server couldn't have been nicer. Super friendly and helpful staff. And the place is cute inside with a small rooftop deck for nice days upstairs. The food was delicious. I opted for the blueberry waffle, a side of eggs and a side of thick cut bacon. My friend went with the breakfast sando with a side of potato hash. The eggs were cooked to perfection; the potatoes needed a bit more seasoning. The waffle was delicious- just not hot. The bacon was a bit fatty but delish with amazing flavor. And the bloody mary (made extra spicy) was perhaps the best I've ever had. Amaze. I'd recommend and look forward to returning on my next trip to Charlotte!

Typically I do not leave many reviews but I felt compelled to in this case because this restaurant has great potential. I was excited to try it out when I dropped in this past weekend. The atmosphere and ambience were very nice, and I liked the lighting and overall vibe. Service was fine, but the food and portion sizes were the main issue. I appreciate that they avoid seed oils and cook the fries in beef tallow, but the overall food experience was disappointing. I ordered the bread service, wagyu tartare, tuna tostada, pasta of the week, steak sandwich, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato fries. The bread was dry and lacked flavor. The tartare was overpowered by the feta which threw off the taste. The tuna tostada was just okay, not bad but not great, and the portion was very small. The sweet potato fries were soggy which was surprising since I had heard they were usually much better. The pasta of the week was actually very good, but for twenty dollars the portion was extremely small, if not the smallest I have ever received anywhere. The steak sandwich was solid and I was happy with that. All in all, the foundation is here for something really good, but the food design, flavor, and portioning need improvement. I would be willing to pay a little more for better portion sizes. Spending fifty dollars and leaving hungry does not feel right. I would only go again if the menu and execution improve, but I do hope they make those changes because the place truly has potential.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lincoln Street Kitchen is the gem of the neighborhood for me! The cocktails are truly tailor-made— with unique essences that give each drink its own creator. The food is consistently delicious, comforting yet creative, and the atmosphere just wraps around you. Martin & Rai... delivered an awesome night-cap to my day. I'll see you for brunch... Steve.

Excellent brunch! Highly recommend! Lots of cocktail and food options. Must get the biscuit app at brunch. Nice atmosphere, great staff! We'll be back!

First timer. We stopped by on a whimp around 1:30pm on a Saturday. It wasn’t too busy but we were happy to be seated promptly. There was parking so we didn’t have issue with that. Service took a bit, however when the food came we were pleasantly surprised. It tasted really good. The restaurant was a bit dirty, that least the floors were. That kinda caught my attention. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended

I have been wanting to try this spot for a long time and had a chance today. The host was super friendly! The bacon was awesome. Pancakes were great. My server was.... let's just say she might of been having a scrappy day

I walked into this spot craving a hearty breakfast and was greeted by the comforting aroma of pancakes and fresh coffee. I ordered the apple pancake, which took about 20 minutes to prepare, but it was worth the wait—fluffy, warm, and bursting with cinnamon flavor. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure my coffee cup was never empty. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed morning meal. However, the parking situation was a bit challenging, with limited spots available. Also, the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours, so be prepared for a potential wait. Overall, a delightful breakfast experience that I would recommend to anyone in the area

Best omelettes I’ve had in a very long time. I know that they are known for their pancakes but the omelettes are outstanding as well. The fact that they come with a stack of pancakes makes the combo even better! I would highly recommended them but you better get there early as there is always a line for a very good reason! The food is delicious!

Food was terrific. I asked our waitress what her favorite item on the menu was. And I'll agree, the Mediterranean Omelet and Banana Pancakes were phenomenal! Very friendly, good food, over all great experience as a first time customer. My son enjoyed got the smiling pancakes then he Decorated it with the fruit cup.

Wonderful place to meet my Southeast coworkers for the first time! Quiet enough to talk & get to know each other, but loud enough to feel the early morning buzz of conversation over food. Would go again! (*leftovers still amazing next morning - waffles, hashbrowns, and bacon).

Decided to give this place a try… what a mistake. I got the bacon platter with hashbrowns and the three small pancakes. Fiancee got the chorizo scrambler. Both were impossibly bland. Even the bacon! To add insult to injury, our waitress would barely give us the time of day—much less give us an opportunity to ask for anything else. Don’t eat here… just get that Waffle House to go.

Our first visit to Little Mama’s was for lunch, and overall, it was a lovely experience. Our waitress Emma was attentive, the homemade mozzarella was delicious, the bread and red pepper infused olive oil was a great combination, the pasta dishes were classic but each with a little twist, and the tiramisu was wonderful. I do think the Fettucine al Fredo would benefit from a little extra cream to offset the almost-nutty Parmesan, but that’s a matter of taste. It was still delicious. The homemade rigatoni with chicken and broccoli with a delicate lemon-cream sauce was superb as it was. The tiramisu was delicious, but I passed along that I think it would be even better without the chocolate syrup, or maybe with a little less? It was a great tiramisu on its own and didn’t need the syrup IMO. Others may love it though. All things considered, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to return for dinner soon.

We had a great time at Little Mama’s at the South Park location. Our waiter, Moses was friendly and very knowledgeable about the good entrees. We had the freshly made ziti a la vodka with chicken and the broiled chicken with mashed potatoes. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and a new dessert menu item, apple and walnut cake served with ice cream. Everything was delicious although the apple cake was dry and hard. I was asked for my honest opinion on the cake….I suggested that they serve it warm, as it may help it be more palatable. This location has ample parking. Great place for a date night!

This was the best dinner! We took my mom for her birthday dinner as she requested and couldn’t be happier that we brought her! We had a reservation and though we were there early for our reservation we got sat immediately (definitely recommend a reservation). Our waiter Steven was Insanely amazing!! He gave us all of the recommendations/his favorites and we listened to all of them! The food was amazing, we got the mozzarella presentation to start, which if I could’ve eaten only cheese I would. Again I can’t stress enough how good the food, drinks and service was! We can’t wait to go back!

We had an incredible experience at Little Mama’s! Our server, Jonathan R., went above and beyond to make our evening special. He provided outstanding service from start to finish; friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He even brought us three wine samples to help us choose the perfect pairing, which was such a thoughtful touch. The mozzarella presentation was absolutely amazing, both in taste and presentation, and our entrees were just as impressive. Everything from the atmosphere to the food to the service was top-notch.

My wife and I stopped into Little Mama’s on Friday night around 4:50 PM, and even at that early hour, there was already a two-hour wait for a table. Thankfully, the bar was completely empty and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so we grabbed seats there and ended up having an amazing experience. Our server, Alexis, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and just a pleasure to be around. If we return (and we definitely will), we’ll be asking to sit wherever Alexis is serving. She was that good. We started with the fresh mozzarella, which is served in a bath of olive oil. I’ll admit, fresh mozzarella isn’t really my thing, so I wouldn’t order it again personally, but my wife loves it and said it was one of the best she’s ever had. We paired it with the white bean salami and roasted tomatoes on the side, both of which were very tasty. For the main course, I had the lasagna, and it was absolutely perfect—rich, flavorful, and made with obvious care. The portion size could have been a little larger for my taste, but the quality more than made up for it. My wife ordered the buttered noodles, which Alexis described as somewhat similar to an Alfredo, though it’s definitely not Alfredo. It’s a simple, buttery, cheesy pasta, and while the sauce reminded me slightly of what you’d find with shrimp scampi (but without any garlic), it was still pretty good. She added grilled chicken for some extra protein, but unfortunately, the chicken was on the dry side. The restaurant itself is lovely—intimate, cozy, and clearly popular, so if you don’t want to risk waiting or sitting at the bar, I’d highly recommend making a reservation. To those about to nosh—we salute you!

We celebrated my wife’s birthday last night at Little Mamas Italian restaurant at South Park. Jonathan our waiter took exceptional care of us . It’s always a real treat to have a meal at Little Mama’s Italian Restaurant. Jonathan surprised us at the end of the meal with a dessert and two lit candles. What a great way to end our evening celebration! Thanks Jonathan so very much to your attention to every detail of our evening! Thanks Wayne

The dishes are very authentic! If you love Italian food I would highly recommend this place. It has a cozy and family friendly atmosphere. Our friendly waiter (C) and staff did an outstanding job of keeping us well informed of the menu and provided outstanding service.

Came from UNC Charlotte to check this one out, a bit of a walk from the train station and not the best part of town but once you get here it’s super nice cute and abundant outdoor seating. Jay was great at the front and my chicken and waffles were amazing. Two dollar large cookies were a welcome treat and bonus.

Great little mom and pop place tucked away in NODA. Sammie selections for everyone, and different other offerings. The Cuban was great, sweet and salty. The Italian was also comforting, but their battered fries are absolutely a REASON to go! Prices are good for CLT. Try to eat outside and people watch aswell!

We sat outside for Sunday brunch around 1:30 pm. There was a ~35 minute wait for food, which we were told about before ordering. I got the Bubble & Squeak and it was delicious! My husband got a breakfast sandwich and he enjoyed his as well! I see some other reviews mentioned seasoning — ours was perfectly seasoned. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere and will be back! 😊

We both got the shrimp and grits, personally I found them to be too salty and oily for my taste. I also found the restroom door to be an anxious person’s worst nightmare since it is partially see through so someone can tell if someone is on the toilet… but the service was spectacular and the prices were reasonable.

The food was really good, but the restaurant itself as a business is bizarrely run. We waited for an hour for a biscuit, some fries, and two entrees at 11am on a Sunday. We had two little kids with us and a hour wait from ordering to serving is just too much for the kids. The place was busy but it wasn’t like people were lining up down the block busy, just usual NODA on the weekend busy. It’s also so strange to me that they don’t give you any number to put on your table, so the waitresses are holding the food running from the restaurant to the front around the building to the back dining area calling your name. There were times they would walk back and forth with the same plate of food for a few times because people weren’t paying attention. I feel so bad for them. And it’s such an easy problem to solve. The food was delicious and my savory bowl was such a creative take on oats. But was it 65 minute worth of deliciousness? Definitely not. There are plenty restaurants with great food in the area that have a much more reasonable wait time.

Food, environment and staff were all AMAZING! This was no doubt freshly made food from scratch, including the sausage. Highly recommended!

Food was pretty mediocre. Long line that took awhile to order. Not sure why they don’t have a number system of some sort. It’s counter service but then no way to track where the food is going so the servers are just walking around yelling names through the crowded space. My food came first which was the Spanish omelette. It was fine but I also ordered toast and my husband got a breakfast sandwich. We decided to split both because we were hungry. We were done with the omelette before we even saw the toast or BEC about 15 minutes later. The toast had no butter or jam or anything. I feel like they should try to keep tickets together so people can eat together! I’ve worked in a restaurant my whole life so I feel for them - the kitchen guys looked extremely stressed as did the food runners. I can only assume they’re short staffed or lots of new people are being trained? I think if this place could get some things streamlined and organized it could be way better but right now it’s just a bit of a mess. Best thing we got was the pumpkin chocolate muffin - delicious!

I fell in love with Cuban food in Salisbury but the place is open odd hours and limited days so it's hard to get food from there. It was a necessary date night. I loved the look and feel of the restaurant. The mix of live music and DJ was top tier. The band sounded beautiful and they kept people on their feet dancing. My only issue why I didn't give it 5 stars is the fact that our reservation was at 8:45, we got there at 8:41. We'd been sitting for 14 minutes before our waitress (Laura G) came to our table. She walked past us several times before even speaking to us and throughout our time there, she checked on everyone else but us. My boyfriend had to flag her down for the check. So we never got a refill on our sodas. She didn't seem friendly or cared. My boyfriend doesn't care to try new things so he didn't care for his food but I loved mine! I had the maricadas and it was flavorful and the presentation was great. Had the service been top notch, it would have been a better experience. I don't see myself coming back just because of the service unfortunately. She made it feel uninviting.

This was our first time here and the place has a nice relaxing atmosphere love the ambient! Kelly was our server she took the time to go over the menu with us and recommend dishes! Food Was good! We went with the empanadas for appetizer and the tees leches for brunch. She was very sweet and friendly also kept checking in on us to make sure we were good! The place looks like it has live music which we will definitely be checking out next time! Muchas gracias Kelly La pasamos bien!

Ana is very friendly and attentive. She always greats me with a warm smile. Everything I had was great. Especially the El Puro old fashion. It paired well with my cigar. Then the coffee was a perfect way to cap the evening out. This place is definitely one of my go to spots.

Fun Saturday night with a Latin band and lively atmosphere. Celebrated a birthday, but giving 2 stars since they don’t offer a complimentary cake slice. Feels profit-driven and unappreciative for special occasions

Amazing service! The staff was so pleasant and truly made our first time, memorable. We are celebrating a birthday and wedding anniversary. At the end, they came out and did a birthday song, complimentary champagne, and anniversary cards. We will be back. Thank you so much

We enjoyed our meal and loved our server. She was very knowledgeable and gave very good recommendations. Great atmosphere.

2nd time eating here & the food was good. Never had oxtails like that before. Big shout out to the beautiful waitress, Yissel. She was big help with the menu. I’ll be back probably Sunday to try the fried red snapper..

Expensive, mediocre taste, had to wait 20 minutes for two sandwiches. Bland and not so fresh tiramisu. Has great potential but idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tried the egg and cheddar cheese with avocado, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and flavorful! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made my first visit even better. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and I left feeling impressed. This was my first time here, but I will definitely be coming back!

Friend of mine got me an ice coffee, perfect for this crazy summer. Best I have ever had in a while, Best part you add your own sugar!! She also got tiramisu’s samples, Omg that was exquisite!!

How do you expect me to eat a burnt egg sandwich. This tasted like paper and I had to throw it away after spending $8 on it. What a shame, this was absolutely disgusting and I am never ordering food from this place again. Don't get the egg sandwiches here, they always burn the eggs. They don't know how to cook eggs.

the atmosphere of the cafe is very nice and calm. one of the workers (faye? fay?) provided excellent customer service and had my food and drink out in a timely manner. not only was the food excellent, but the server also offered to add syrup to my coffee without extra charge if it wasn’t sweet enough. will definitely be coming back.

First off impressions....very clean The lady behind the counter was very helpful and kind. We decided on a “dirty” latte and regular coffee along with a blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll. The lady let me sample my latte to make sure the sweetness was to my liking and it was. I thought that was a nice touch or customer service. The regular coffee was decent. The blueberry muffin is not your typical sweet muffin. It grabs its sweetness from the real blueberries. The cinnamon roll was super sweet but somehow I couldn’t stop eating it. You could taste the real cinnamon! We got there after lunch time and there just weren’t many options left to choose from. Knowing this I suggest going earlier to make sure you can pick what you like. Lots of vegan/gluten free options.

Sunny’s Special Sandwich (Rosemary sourdough bread) with meat, egg and sundried tomato pesto was decent. Blueberry muffin was aromatic and surprisingly the sweetness comes from only blueberries. Pastry is crumbly and fresh.

My girlfriend and I came in for a visit on 2/28 before a concert nearby, and honestly it was a pretty big letdown. We were quickly greeted, and sat next to the bathrooms, which was a weird spot, so we requested to move to another table, which they obliged with no problem. We ordered an old fashioned and Negroni flight, which came out a couple of minutes apart. Not a big deal, but why not together? She wanted to order the fish and grits, but they were out of salmon, which I thought was very surprising considering it was 5 o’clock on a Friday. She asked the waiter for some recommendations which he responded “everything is good”. She asked about the steak, he said “it’s OK, but people normally prefer the sliders”. Thought it was a little bizarre he didn’t even even try to upsell that, but hey, whatever works. I ended up ordering the porkbelly while she got the sliders, and we got a side of fries to share. My pork belly came out a while after, which was the first time I’d seen our waiter since he took our order, and asked for a Don’t Worry Bee Happy instead of the Negroni flight… I had no idea sweet vermouth wasn’t sweet. That’s on me. The couple next to us was sat after we ordered, and got their food before us. Their sliders came out before ours. When we finished our entrees, she ordered another Old Fashioned. Our fries didn’t come out until the very end of our meal. The additional Old Fashioned didn’t come out until we finished the fries… by that point we were ready to leave. While looking for our waiter, we observed him looking at us through the kitchen, then duck behind the door when we made eye contact. Cool. We flagged down another member of waitstaff, that happened to be the manager on duty, explained our experience, and she was kind enough to comp our food since none of it came out together. Food was ok, but not flavorful. Porkbelly was tough, the sliders were bland, the fries were definitely frozen NOT the advertised “farm to table” fresh. I doubt my opinion would be different if the experience was better. It was like the cherry on the whole experience. Considering the price of everything being al la carte, I was hopeful but very disappointed. And, following this experience, the manager on duty gave us a card which had a QR code on it SPECIFICALLY for contacting the manager… we were never reached back out to. So, 4 months later, here’s my experience and review. 🫡

The staff was amazing! A women owned business, they did a fantastic job of taking care of all our needs quickly and courteously. They have a really nice art gallery with a cute outdoor seating area. Drinks were delicious and every food item we tried was so good! Highly recommend the meatballs and the scallops. Definite 5 stars and can’t wait to come again!

The food was amazing!! We started with the Warm Marinated Olives and the Bacon Wrapped Dates. They were so yummy. Finished both plates clean. We had the shrimp artichoke salad. Very fresh. Probably the best shrimp I’ve had. For our main plates we had the empanadas, meatballs and scallops. Every plate was left clean. Very delicious. Love that it is a women owned business! Owner was so nice and passionate about her restaurant. Love how she uses locally sourced Ingredients! Also has a little art gallery and adorable secret garden in the back that has a great atmosphere.Overall amazing experience.

This place was 1) women owned and women sportive. On top of that, the owner is one of the most fabulous people I have ever met. The food speaks for itself and is so yummy. The food is natural, locally sourced, and again MADE SO GOOD. I love this place Top place in Charlotte.

Went recently to Artisan's Palate and had a decent experience. I accidentally booked a reservation for the following week and they were still able to get us a table with no wait on a Friday night. Food was decent, but pricey. Good variety of food options and a lot LOOKED good, but the flavor unfortunately wasn't a home run for anyone in our group. I normally have a single old-fashioned when I'm out at dinner and while the drink tasted good, I felt like I was drinking a non-alcoholic drink. I felt nothing after the first drink and proceeded to have another. After two drinks that should be almost straight whiskey I would expect to be feeling a little buzz. It felt as though I had a couple bud lights. Service was unfortunately the worst part of the experience. While the waiter was friendly, he was nowhere to be found every time we needed something. Even getting the check paid took about 10 minutes of waiting for him to come grab and charge the card. If the food was cheaper I would consider going back, but I was unfortunately disappointed given the 4.7 rating on google. I was expecting more.

This place was amazing! Women owned which is a plus! All the food was amazing… I would so come back again for a date night. The atmosphere was great and they have a cute little “secret garden”! 10/10!!😊

So…was our first time here and I must say it was very disappointing food wise. This place is run by women, had quick service and support art which is why I am giving 2 stars, otherwise If I had to rate based on food level I would have given 1 star. Here is my feedback 1. The portion size for the price seems extremely small. A $17 empanadas with a count of 4 empanadas doesn’t make sense to me. 2. The tomato soup was tasteless. 3. Menu shows many vegan options but it was so hard to find a proper vegan meal. Appetizers like fries, Brussel sprouts were our options but we were there for dinner, so didn’t choose that. Please add some vegan meals 🙏🏻or mention you can make the items vegan atleast. 4. Such a cute place and decorations but it was burning inside, maybe use some AC? Overall I don’t think I recommend this place based on what I got but maybe it’s good for other people.

Wow such a hidden gem. I came upon this place because I was across the street after dinner looking for a coffee shop that was opened and found Roots. Lovely staff. The espresso was delicious and I didn’t realize they had cocktails too and let me tell you the Finding Rose #2…. Amazing. The place is so cute and has such a beautiful vibe to it. They also have food which I didn’t know about. Will definitely be back!

We might have found our new go-to spot for good food, great service and amazing coffee! Me, my wife and my daughter stopped by ROOTS Cafe on a Saturday morning and it was obvious why the place was packed. Only two tables were open so we quickly scooped one up. You order at the register so we went with a Bananas Foster Latte and Crème Brulee Latte to drink. Both of those were top notch! For food, we ordered Avocado Toast, Breakfast Burrito and the BELT. Food was brought out timely and tasted amazing. Everything we ate was delicious. We will definitely be back again even though it is a 45 minute drive! Would highly recommend ROOTS Cafe!

Really good expresso martinis! Intimate bar and work, social setting! I had this place on my to go to list and I am happy I finally go around to going! The Latin style breakfast was amazing! Definitely going back

Delicious food and ambiance, especially if you can get a patio table on a nice day. They have great coffee as well. One of the best tomato soups I’ve had! My only complaint is that seating is very limited and it’s an order-at-the-counter situation, so if there are no tables, it’s kind of an awkward wait.

I luv to venture out of Fort Mill and into Charlotte and RooTs was a great find !! I don’t eat a lot of meat but the soup that I had was DELISH !! ..it had meatballs and rice .. name ? 💭 can’t remember 😛.. but the pleasant staff , the decor and the ~just right size~ of the dining space gave it an authentic vibe I want to return to !

The smoked salmon and sweet potato hash was delicious. The sauce they gave with the hash was great too. Everyoen who worked there was attentive and very sweet, warm and welcoming. Atmosphere was really cool and my espresso (not pictured) was great as well.

Added chicken adobo to the breakfast burrito it was delicious! Pricey, but the quality is there.

We have been coming to Poppys for about 9 years and lately we have only come like 1 time every 3 months because they have gone down hill so much. You would think coming first thing when they open you would get the freshest bagels but this was like biting in to a rock. So horrible and they just don’t care anymore so disappointing!

Poppy's Bagels is a great stop for breakfast and lunch! The staff is friendly and the food is good. The omelets are extraordinary!

Great bagel shop. Fast friendly service. Great selection of bagels Bagels were very good. Had the cream cheese and lox spread on my onion bagel. Perfect amout of lox to cream cheese. Would get that again. Bagel egg sandwich was very good as well. I would go back.

The staff was super friendly! The poppys club sandwhich was very good. They did not skimp on ingredients. Just wish they had toasted The Bagel like I had asked but it was still good . The Italian rainbow cookies are so fresh and delicious. The blueberry blintz is awesome. Just needed to add a little powdered sugar to top it off. Not a lot of atmosphere, but definitely a good spot for breakfast or lunch. Does have some outdoor seating. Great coffee, especially the chocolate raspberry. They also have a great selection of cookies and pastries. Yummy!!@

While visiting Charlotte, we stopped by this spot to grab a dozen bagels. The area is nice, and there’s outdoor seating, but the bagels were a letdown—bland and got hard by the next day. Everyone in our group shared the same sentiment. The place is clean, but I won’t be back for the bagels."

South Blvd location. We were excited to get some bagels. Got there an hour before they closed and they were already closing up shop. We were greated by a sourpuss who said kitchen is closed. We just wanted take away bagels. No one would wait on us. They turned off the case lights. We walked out. Staff rude, place looked janky.

I was excited to try Poppy’s after seeing so many positive reviews. I ordered a ham, egg & cheese on a toasted everything. The bagel was good but not by any means exceptional. It was a good bagel sandwich. The store and bathroom was in my opinion, run down, and not well kept. So with a good bagel and less than stellar upkeep, Poppy’s gets a three start review.

Beautiful Interior. It is designed like a French from outside as well. The staff is polite and kind. Tried to display the main attractions of France. Food was good but I felt much sweeter than regular.

Enjoyed my experience. It had been a while and I decided to come with family for a quick little brunch sesh and they loved it. Pastries were nice and soft. Nicely sweetened. Coffee and lattes were very good as well. Nice balance of coffee and sweet. A bit pricey but granted we did buy a lot. Atmosphere is very chill and quiet enough for people to bring their work and have a treat. Lots of parking also, its right in front of Sprouts market and beside the Atrium Health Urgent Care.

We stopped by this Amelie’s in the NoDa area of Charlotte after seeing it recommended on several food lists, and it completely lived up to the hype. The place has a wonderful mix of French bakery treats along with great options for breakfast and lunch. We couldn’t resist trying the macarons, especially the fun flavors like peanut butter and jelly and coconut lime. They were a bit larger than usual and packed with great flavor. The café itself is absolutely charming, filled with creative French-inspired décor that makes it feel special from the moment you walk in. The service was warm, friendly, and made the visit even better. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their pastries!

Have been going to Amelie’s since 2009. Boy has it changed but keeps getting better! Went for me and my husband’s anniversary last week after dinner as a throwback. We moved an hour away and did dinner in Charlotte also. Of course we had to get the SCB ( salted Caramel Brownie) and decaf which they brewed fresh. I am gluten and dairy free and didn’t think I’d have anything for me other than coffee but shockingly the pbj macaroon and macarons were both gluten and dairy free. Always a fav!

As a Francophile I’m pretty disappointed in Amelie’s. I used to come to Amelie’s park road location in high school and was impressed with the assortment of deserts, treats and most importantly baguettes. I move away for some year during college and then moved to France after college for a year. Maybe it’s my experience but their sandwiches are just not good any more. This is my third time having a bad experience specifically with the baguettes. Baguettes are so simple but so important to a good sandwich and a good French establishment. These baguettes sandwiches are not small but are just bad. They need massive improvement. Pictured below is the sandwich I bought for $12. It’s a quarter of the entire sandwich which shows really how small these are. Goat cheese is in the title of the sandwich but i can’t taste it at all! Look at the picture yourself and try to find the goat cheese! There is none! Owners, if you are reading this. PLEASE go to France and then come back and review your menu. You can make improvement and bring this establishment back to its glory. It has fallen so far from excellent.

I cannot even begin to tell you how in love I am with Amélie's. This place is such a vibe! Perfect place to meet up with friends or family. Food/drinks were amazing! Such a comfortable atmosphere. To beat the crowds I'd highly recommended an early weekday or weekend morning.

I really like this cafe. The pastries are delicious. The interior is gorgeous. I've been to a similar cafe, but in Uptown, and it was terrible,it was like they were two different cafes. That's why I love going to this particular cafe, in Noda.

🍽️ Before I mention the negative, I do want to say the food was great, our server was very attentive, and the vibe is fun! It's our second time here and we will probably go back; although this time the tres leches kind of tasted like a refrigerator - which I did mention to the server. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Okay, that being said... The bathroom was absolutely gross. 🤢 The smell was like stale urine, there were paper towels overflowing as well as on the floor. Honestly if I would have seen the bathroom before I ate I may not have stayed. The chair rail was sticky with dust, so it probably wasn't a one-off. The back hall looks like a storage closet. No I did not mention this to management because at that point the meal was over and my party was leaving. I hope management sees this and takes a good couple hours to clean up the back hall as well as the bathrooms, especially the left one that we used. We love supporting local businesses, and hope this will be taken to heart.

Amazing food, amazing quality, amazing service, and amazing variety! The chicken has great wood-fired flavor and everything is always hot and fresh. I love there is something for the whole family. Great lunch menu prices that will keep you coming back. Also really nice variety of vegan foods. A lot of seating, but it does get very busy and a bit loud. Regardless the atmosphere is wonderful and the team working is always phenomenal. If you're on the fence, just give it a try! Ordered lamb burger, chicken with the side of beans and chips, mountain trout, quinoa avocado, brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese, chicken skewers, and wood-fired octopus - which was cooked perfectly. Was also given their strawberry shortcake for my birthday and it was incredible! I'd recommend any of the above dishes and I'm sure the rest are great too.

Our first time at Kid Cashew. We learned of this place as it was featured on the CLT Burger Week page. Too bad we missed it as our burger week stop, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Happy Hour specials. Our table having two shareables, a beer, a margarita, and a $6 kids meal that includes their drink, our total was $30! The Brussel Sprouts alone are worth another visit. My daughter had the Mac and cheese and chips. The Mac and cheese was pretty good, always nice when it’s not blue box for kids. We’ll definitely be back, as I am excited to bring an appetite and explore the menu. The service was just okay. Not horrible by any means, but not exceptional either. The restaurant inside has a bit of grime just a layer of it, everywhere. It’s a bit of the aesthetic, but I also think it is a bit too authentic, if you know what I mean.

This place is different and delicious. I went with my bookclub for dinner. Kevin was fantastic! He made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing. We mac and cheese, salads, meatballs, gyro, rotisserie chicken, chicken and avocado sandwich. All of the dishes were great. I will definitely go back so I can try more from the menu.

The food was delicious. The spinach and feta dip was everything I imagined. The Big Mac daddy burger and chips were 10/10. My margarita was strong and tasty. Bee was an amazing waitress, very helpful and great personality. My first time and I will definitely be back. The flies were the only negative lol, something the restaurant can’t control. I’ll be eating inside next time.

I was visiting Charlotte from Indiana and heard about Kid Cashew from google. I am so glad I found this spot. To start off, I ordered the wood fired beets, and they were really interesting. They had a beautiful char on them. The combination of the goat cheese, mandarins, beets, and pistachios was unique. The pistachios and the mandarins added a nice sweetness to the dish. I also ordered the chicken and avocado sandwich. It was amazing! The chicken itself had so much flavor because of how it's cooked. The bread is local and very good too. The atmosphere is nice. It's a little noisy but you can still hear your party just fine. The decor didn't make too much sense. It was very quaint, though. I definitely recommend Kid Cashew if you are in the area. My sister and her husband traveled from Raleigh to meet me, and they also loved their food. It's definitely worth it and inexpensive, too.

Great! Check out thier special menu. See website. I recommend go early during lunch hours. Service staff is wonderful. They have nice cloth silverware. Free parking. It’s incredible place to take a date or business lunch. It’s great vibe . I really like the hamburgers the most. Wood fire burgers Request for mgmt- is there a way to remove onions from mac and cheese. Is there a way to update the bathrooms and add paper towels to dry hands. Reminds of good ole college bar bathrooms

I finally get to try this place for the first time. The breakfast burrito was ok. In my opinion they could add more seasoning and toast it a little bit. I asked for a plate to the kitchen lady and she said "we don't have plates". Look at the pic below lol. I don't know what was that about...

Rhinos is the place to go when you have a taste for good food and drinks. Im hooked...Rhino's is addiction. The workers are friendly...even when the place is filled with customers. They treat you with great customer service. The atmosphere is inviting. I appreciate that I can choose seating where Im not on top of other consumers. Great place all around.

Several of the employees are entitled rude . My crew was restoring the apartment's power across the street and it was 98 degrees that day. My guys went in and got a drink & sandwich. The register had a option for a tip ( to tip the cashier for ringing up a few things), apparently one of my guys didn't pay a tip and she chased them out into the parking lot cussing and treating them like scum.. we was still working the following day ( haven't went home yet and going on 27 hours without sleep or rest ), and it happened a 2nd time when they went for another Gatorade and sandwich, this time 2 employees pulled the same crap..I also believe they are the one who called the news crew out about us leaving the apartments without power ( we was fixing/ replacing the bad underground power line that burned up, and we was going the best we could under the conditions). I don't recommend this place unless you like paying a tip for someone to do their job, because you probably want enjoy outcome if you don't tip

Truly the best deli in all of Charlotte!! Best prices, diverse menu, great service and live music or DJ most nights of the week…I mean who could ask for more?? Well being plant-based, I could ask for vegan food and, bonus, they have so many vegan options for being a deli. Even have one of the best vegan breakfast burritos I’ve ever had and for an unbeatable price!! Thank you Rhino for being the best neighborhood spot to hang pretty much any day or night. 🙌🏾

Good place to get a sandwich. If you come around lunch time expect a decent wait. They have a grand selection of beer, wine, and grab and go snacks. We tried the veggie sandwich and the bread was lackluster but the flavor of the vegetables inside was great! A more wholesome ciabatta with a crust would bring it next level.

Awesome deli and market for a quick bite or drink! They offer drink and snack options not found many other places but also the usual drinks and snacks as well. The deli sandwich’s are very good! The rueben has tons of beef piled high to satisfy. The raw rhino sandwich is perfect for those who want a vegan option but also want to satisfy their hunger. The drinks are not typical drinks you can find, which is one of my favorite parts. I love the drink options they offer. I’m definitely a fan of the Rhino.

Everything you’ve read about the breakfast burrito is TRUE! Randomly craving one and found this spot. So glad I came here, hands down best tasting and well seasoned. Also it’s pretty big, will keep you full for hours. And their hot coffee is pretty good as well. Overall it’s a vibe. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Shavoyah with Offline - This is a nice intimate bar. The food and beer was good and service was wonderful as well. I had the Korean grill cheese. It came out fast and hot. So delicious. I got some baked wings to go. And although they were good, I don't think it was worth $15 for only 6 wings. I wish I asked before ordering them. Its an ok place to catch a game as long at you don't care to see multiple as they only have 2 tvs. Overall, liked this place and will return to try some of their other delights.

It’s a cozy place inside, a place to relax and catch up with friends. Did not try the food. My only critique is the beer options are mostly all hop forward and there was one dark beer, whereas I prefer something in between.

Good food, great portion sizes, amazing choices in beers. Highly recommend. Outside and inside seating. A grest hang out place. Veggie options as well!!

We hosted a baby shower at Legion Brewing Plaza Milwood location. We had the best time. Our server, Mary, was fabulous. The food platters were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Harvest Salad, Mac & Cheese cups, Sliders and Half & Half cheese board. Great place for a 20 person event for the guys and ladies.

Looking forward to giving this place a higher review next time we come to Charlotte. Spent $15 on a Uber only to find out it was closed for a private event. Note to business owners, Always update your social media. Completely wasted the ride cost and plans. Your decisions around private events need to take into account people’s plans and this did not give us a good impression of your establishment.

After lunch at Whiskey Warehouse, we popped right across the street at Plaza Midwood to Legion Brewing Charlotte… Upon entering into Legion Brewing at Plaza Midwood Charlotte, we were attracted to the wooden furniture throughout its premise. The tables, the bar counter top and even the wooden beams at the brewing area – they all point to a homely and friendly atmosphere here. At Legion Brewing, they bring the community together. Whether, you’re dining, chilling or even working, Legion provides a clean positive vibe for everyone to enjoy its premise. There are some daily specials/program at Legion Brewing. But we couldn’t really make out what does “Vinyl on Tap” meant or whether there was any deals. Hence, we went right ahead for some recommendations instead. This time, they had the following on tap at Legion Brewing Charlotte: Easy Drinker Penguin Pilsner Lunar Daze House Sparrow Saison Hop Forward Juicy Jay Mango Juicy Jay Tiny Dancer Hopchiller Tart & Funky Supernova (Cherry Lemon) Sparkle Party Ikimasui Gluten Free Hard Seltzer Hard Cider Dark & Roasted Slainte Quit Your Wine-ing Ghost of Kiev Red Eyes Black Dragon Wine Stone Bay Archer Roose Diamarine Marc Cellars As you can see from the selection, Legion Brewing has its grounds covered. If you’re a craft beer lover, you have the pilsners, IPAs and Stouts. There are also seltzers and ciders for those who wants a choice of gluten free. There are also wine and prosecco selections. With the non-alcoholic selection of soft drinks and kombucha, that’s pretty much everyone covered. We asked for some IPA recommendations and this time, we had a sessions IPA (Tiny Dancer) as well as a juicy mango IPA (Mango Juicy Jay) which came up to a total of $14 (with $2 tips)… For the full review of Legion Brewing, visit 2bearbear today!

$15 salad…looks like it came from Harris Teeter Very little chicken and bowl wasn’t even close to full. Disappointing for $15.

Beautifully decorated restaurant. Had a girls brunch here for one of my friends bday. Had an 11a reservation and place was empty when we arrived but still had to wait abt 15min for our table to be ready. Not sure what that was abt. All of us enjoyed our food, I got the burger and it was delish. Also got the lemon drop mocktail which was very fruity and refreshing. I’d definitely go back and try some other items. Also our waitress was amazing with an even more amazing singing voice. Didn’t expect those type of vocals to our friend for her bday but it was a welcomed surprise!

I had a really great time. Brian and Joe super cool, friendly and talkative. The wings slapped!! The donuts are made to order. I've never had any donuts that taste like that....the caramel, raspberry and the white sauce are superb! Really nice decor as well. The staff was giving was so chill, easy going and easy to approach or converse with.

This place is really beautiful! We sat in a booth at the bar and had a couple of appetizers with drinks and wine. We were able to really watch the bartender interact and she was so personable and knowledgeable. Princess our server was fantastic. I took one star because of the overabundance of floor managers. I'm not sure what they were expecting on a Thursday night but they just had too many floor managers. One in particular really didn't have anything to do and he seemed to be trying to get 10,000 steps on his fitbit. He speed walked past our table probably 15 times. He was fully unnecessary on the scene and should have been asked to go home. It was annoying to have him zooming by repeatedly and other than that I can highly recommend the restaurant.

As a long time frequenter of Link & Pin both Arboretum and Southend, I was devastated to hear about the Southend location closing. Thankfully the Arboretum location is still going strong! This place is fantastic for all around dining experiences but my personal favorites is their late night cocktails and apps/deserts! You can enjoy lunch on the terrace or dinner in the dining room - all are excellent choices. Our waiter for lunch this past weekend Alex was new to serving and did a fantastic job! All of the servers we had in the past have been so helpful and friendly - the know how to keep a very kind and professional staff! We can't wait to go back for more late night cocktails! 🍸

Food was amazing. I got the 8oz filet mignon with asparagus, and my husband got the whole flounder. Followed by the seven layer chocolate cake. Amazing. Food was delicious. Service was wonderful. Definitely recommend.

We had a great Sunday dinner with amazing service by Matt. Not only did he provide amazing service, he was a great bartender! For my birthday dinner we had steak, deviled eggs, lobster mac and cheese with garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert we had the donuts(HIGHLY recommend) and the bread putting. Everything was great and will be going back again.

My brother & I went to Link & Pin twice during his weekend in Charlotte while visiting from out of town because we loved our first visit so much. The vibe is great - lush, moody, inviting. And the service and food were fantastic. On our first visit (this past Saturday at lunch), we sat outside on the patio, and our server Ashley Leigh was gracious, helpful and made us feel very welcomed. We both had the chicken sandwich & loved it. Shoutout to the Cameron Leslie the bartender for the incredible Illegal Contraband cocktails – some of the best we’ve had (with instructions on how to best enjoy them!). For our final hangout of the trip, we snuck in a quick snack on Sunday afternoon before my brother headed to the airport. He got the chicken tenders & a Moscow Mule – high praise! But the stars of the show for both of us were the phenomenal homemade donuts and dipping sauces – the kitchen staff are outdoing themselves. To make our visit even better, Luce our server was wonderful to work with and made sure we had just enough time to enjoy our treats & still leave on time. I also need to praise Louis the manager for greeting us warmly on both visits and treating us like family. He is passionate about creating an atmosphere that goes beyond just a great restaurant – he wants it to be a community. And you can tell that the staff members feel appreciated and motivated to go above & beyond. My brother & I have already planned a double-date with our spouses when he and his wife return in November, and my husband & I will visit Link & Pin together in the next couple weeks. We're excited!

My wife and I went here for a date night, we did the Indian Cuisine. It was a wonderful experience. They had bottles of wine for sale while we learned. We met some great people at our station and the class was very easy to follow. We will definitely be back!

I reserved a company team building event at Chef Alyssa’s kitchen last week and it was a wonderful experience. Andrew was extremely helpful during our reservation process in helping me decide which class to take - cooking lesson or Chopped competition. We decided on the Mediterranean menu cooking lesson with Chef Alyssa. We all had a great time and enjoyed our creations. Highly recommend!

Chef Alyssa’s Kitchen is amazing! I’ve taken several classes here (doughnuts, fall in the south, bread making, Mexican cuisine, cake decorating) and every single one has been awesome. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and make the experience enjoyable for everyone. It’s a great solo activity or group activity, and I love the little recipe books they give each participant. I highly recommend for anyone in Charlotte looking to try a cooking class!

Absolutely great experience for me and my 11 yr old as her birthday gift this year. Really hands on. Chef Ja Quari was fun and personable as well the rest of the team. Our apple fritters were a little under-done and he gave us his finished batch while ours finished cooking! Goes above and beyond for customer satisfaction. The whole place was very clean and orderly. The food was fresh and tasted amazing once we finished! We'll be back for the teen/parent classes as often as they have them!

Alyssa and friends had me over for dinner, and the chicken cutlets was perfect. The flavor in the macaroni and cheese was quite delicious. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

I was invited to attend a cooking class as a social event by one of my software vendor, what a great venue. I would love to do a team building here. The Chef was organized and friendly. We all enjoyed ourselves and learned some new cooking techniques as well. I would highly recommend this venue for a group event.

I booked Chef Alyssa's Kitchen as the annual work team-building event, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. I attended a cooking class before and thought this might be similar, but it was on an entirely different level! The location is excellent. There is plenty of parking and great breweries in walking distance. The kitchen was spacious! The team-building event was in a smaller back room, but it had plenty of room for us to complete our Chopped Challenge. The Chopped Challenge might be the best event I have ever booked - even the people who do not typically cook had a wonderful time. It gave the people who love to cook a unique way to express themselves. Overall, it was an exciting way to learn some new things! We had Chef Kaegan and Chase leading our class. They were helpful, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable! They were accomodating to the food allergies in my group and went above and beyond to take care of us all! They even provided suggestions and helped with the challenge when needed (my group needeed A LOT of help.) Part of the Chopped Challenge experience is a chef plated meal. The group loved the short rib that we chose as our dish. I was plated a dairy-free meal and offered a vegan meal, which was a nice surprise. An even better surprise was at the end when I got my own vegan cheesecake for dessert! I would go back for a class, but I would love even more to participate in the challenge again! Even though some of the mystery ingredients provided were things I would never keep in my own kitchen, they were so fun to cook with.

Small sized but very high quality Reids foods. The other location is far far larger, but this one does have great foods.

I love Reids in South Park and Myer’s Park, but the service here was somewhat offputting. Pepper sent us back and forth between counters, making it difficult and confusing to order, and offered zero explanation as to why she was making it so difficult. Between each time, she was on her phone behind the counter and then handling food after touching her phone screen. Jabari really saved the day, stepping in and taking care of us with a smile. He went out of his way to accommodate us and is the reason we’ll come back to this location. Well, Jabari and the amazing bagel sandwich!!

The team at Reid’s Fine Foods on Trade St. is absolutely incredible! The chemistry between the staff is unmatched, you can feel their energy the moment you walk in. Even during the busiest times, they keep things running smoothly and absolutely kill it every single time. The food? Always fresh, delicious, and consistently top-notch. It’s clear they care about both their customers and their craft. If you’re in the area, this spot is a must-visit!

I had never been to Reid's before. It was lunch time, the place was packed, and there were three lines (salad, soup/sandwich and hot bar). I chose the hot bar, and the line moved quickly. The server was efficient, but helpful in pointing out the vegetarian options. His recommendations were good, and I enjoyed my cheesy-green bean entree, mixed vegetables and BBQ cauliflower sides. My sister had a large salad made to order, with fresh fruits.

Great job on the breakfast bowl. Too much salt. And please stop cooking pork bacon on the skillet with Turkey bacon. I don’t want pork grease on my bacon. Eggs, don’t cook in oil, non stick pan please.

Checked out the new uptown Location today. Order was completely wrong but didn't realize until I got back to my office - no portobello, no roated peppers, no spinach, no cucumber, nothing spicy... instead romaine, tomatoes, cheddar cheese (?!), and loaded down with red onions, yuk. Don't have time to go back to get it corrected. You'd think for a $9 wrap they'd put a little more consideration into their work...

We had the pleasure of working with Reid's fabricating their beautiful store-front blade sign for their newest Uptown location! Excellent B2B transaction!

I love the vibe of this restaurant, and the fact that it's open 24 hours. The food is great, too (even though it's a lot of carbs/sugar). We had the chicken & waffles, the shrimp & grits, and a biscuit sandwich. Honestly, I've never fully appreciated chicken & waffles, because it seems to dry for me, but it seemed good as far as chicken & waffles go (the dish seems meant to be dry, so we only get them to experience how a new place does them for comparison). The chicken & grits were great, and will probably be my go-to in the future. The biscuit was light and buttery (definitely not dry like the chicken and waffles). As a side note, they don't take Apple Pay or other tap payment methods. So make sure you have cash or a card before going. Maybe chalk that up to a more authentic (rather than modern) experience in a classic diner. Next time I'm downtown and hungry after midnight, I'm definitely heading back here. Great place overall.

Andrea was our server and all I can say is wow!!! What a very well mannered young man! I got the California burger with fries and my husband got the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and fruit we got a strawberry cheesecake for dessert and all I can say is the food was incredible. One of the freshest burgers I’ve had in a very long time the beef you could tell was locally sourced and very fresh the food all around was wonderful the atmosphere was great it was quiet but we came during hours right before dinner rush. This dinner is open 24 hours the staff was kind and the building was clean. What a great experience.

I was out with my girlfriend! I don’t know why but on a Saturday night, half of the bars & clubs were closed in uptown! ?? We got one drink and decided to get some food. Love that this place is open 24/7. For it being really late, the employees were in a great mood. Our waitress, African American woman, she was also a bartender. Soo nice. I should’ve gotten her name for this review. I’d definitely come back. They also have a lot of options on the menu. From wings to omelettes to spaghetti lol.

This was an amazing dining experience for a late night! Our server was incredibly friendly and had great food recommendations. Everything we tried tasted so good and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely visit again.

Food was great! Hot and just right. Not all that busy nor was the entire area of Charlotte. Guy showed me where there bathroom was. I got lucky to sit next to Dolly Parton & Nirvana. Not for real. Just the gold disc on walls. Table 7. Surprised they were open so late or I mean 24 hours. Cool coat hangers. Karissa looks like she a wants to attend college. Maybe for design. Cool scarf for ponytail. Thank you kindly. Menu simple and sweet. Not a dennys but much better! I got the bubba. I would have liked to order French toast or chicken fried steak or pancakes.

I was in Charlotte for a show with a few of my clients (Roshon Fegan, Matthew Finley and Aaryn Doyle) who came in from LA and Canada. I wanted to give them a good southern experience and the Red Eye did not disappoint. Our waitress Nicole recognized my clients and had a great moment with us. The staff were amazing and respectful of our space and we made sure to do pictures after our meal. The food was excellent and the vibe was what we needed at the time.

The place has a nice decoration and the menu has a lot of options. Meanwhile we waited 15 min to be seated, 40 min to have a server coming to our table and more 40 min to have our omelettes. The serves are not very friendly though. Try don’t use the restroom, because it’s disgusting! The price is OK, but you need to count with the parking that is around $20 (in a Sunday).

Have been coming here since childhood. Many menu options. Many classics on the menu that I can remember. Also newer options. They even have a full bar. Kids menu available. Seemed to only have 1 server during our visit so we waited a bit before we could order. The hostess brought our drinks out.

Nice restaurant / diner on the east side of Charlotte. I went with our social group. We had a party of 11. Service was great. Food was fresh and delicious. All seem to enjoy their entrees. Must be a pretty popular place as the restaurant was quite full while we were there. Good food, generous portions, therefore a good value. Try them out!

Ms. Love who was our server amplified her name...LOVE!!! Her food suggestions hit the spot and her attention not only to us but her other customers were spot on. It was our first time definitely not the last!!!

Okay, so this is a legendary locals haunt in Charlotte that everyone has to eat at once. This place is famous; artists paint it and authors write about it. The service is the best every time; many waitresses have been there for years — so strike up a convo! From the dessert cooler to the Greek spaghetti to the Tom Turkey to the Chicken Livers to the Sirloin, you can’t go wrong. Pro Tips: Try the Italian Tour, Key Lime Pie, Grilled Flounder, and anything from their daily specials menu.

This is my second year here in charlotte and let me tell you the struggle to find good food is just that a struggle well I found this gem and for the life in me why nobody told me about this place first off it’s a very nice place and the staff was very nice Derlyn our server was very nice and took good care of us the food was very good and the desserts are also on point and all day breakfast this is my #1 spot now by all means check them out

My family and I recently moved to East Charlotte and have been hearing great things about the Diner. Gave it a try this past weekend and it was amazing! Huge menu and the prices & portions were great. Our server, Lindsey, really made our experience stand out. Everyone very busy, yet she never skipped a beat. Very personable and attentive. We will DEFINITELY be back to see her! One of the best diners I’ve tried in Charlotte. I can see why they’ve been in business for so long!

I was a regular for a few years in the late 90s and have since moved 15 miles away. The food was good and fresh as always. The interior has been updated. If you can't find a breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert here you don't want to eat; you must be Gordon Ramsey or the other guy who has never sampled food on TV that anyone else has cooked besides himself that he likes. Service, food, atmosphere and value all 4 stars.

I am beyond impressed with the food here. This is the first restaurant we visited, where every dish was 10/10. The taste was delicious. The restaurant itself was spotless and cozy. You can make it a romantic or family dinner. The staff was very friendly and tentative. We will definitely be back. Keep up the great work.

Lived this place! Loved the ambiance as well. Our server was amazing! I went for dessert but ended up ordering an appetizer plus dessert. I ordered the Charred Octopus with smashed potatoes. I did like it. However, it lacked seasoning. I added salt 🧂 but it needed more than salt. It needed flavor. I ordered the donut 🍩 and the cheese 🧀 cake 🎂, cheesecake. They were both amazing!! The cheesecake was raspberry flavored and nice and creamy. The donut 🍩 was very fresh. I loved the custard and toffee crumbles on top. Overall, it was a great experience 👍🏾! I will get back!!

We picked the restaurant based on Google reviews and when the Uber dropped us off at the Marriott we were concerned about it being a hotel restaurant. But our concerns were unfounded! Stoke was amazing! We had the deviled eggs, drunken shrimp (keep the sauce when you're done with the shrimp - it's delicious!), cheese and ham, and then had pear salads as our entrees. It was wonderful. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. We were full, but not overstuffed and very satisfied. And our server was perfect! Helpful and attentive. We could have hung out with her all evening. Our only disappointment was that we weren't in town longer to come back and try some of the amazing looking dishes like the pork shank.

My experience is probably gonna be a little different from everyone else’s because my wife basically reserved the restaurant for my birthday! The atmosphere was a whole vibe and the service and food was excellent! Highly recommended!

This place might have the best burger in Charlotte. Perfect ratio, perfect combo. We have been here multiple times and service is always great. Sets the bar for hotel restaurants

Lunch at Stoke was a pleasant surprise. The wood-fired flatbreads and house-made ricotta were the standouts—fresh, creative, and packed with flavor. The restaurant has a warm, modern aesthetic with an open kitchen so you can see the chefs in action. Staff were friendly and quick to offer recommendations. Bathrooms were sparkling clean. It’s a great place to escape the office crowd and enjoy an elevated but approachable meal.

I had a great experience here, with the food and the wait staff. Unfortunately they were out of the pasta, so I went for the steak instead. Steak was very good, they cooked medium rare perfectly, and the sauce had a nice acidity to it. The sticky pork shank was very flavorful with a sweet sauce. Mac and cheese tasted very creamy and cheesy. The burrata had a lot of nice flavors to combine for an appetizer and the donut was really good and fluffy, but very filling! Drinks were very good as well. I would definitely come back here and recommend it.

Came here for my 21st birthday and it was so lovely! Our waitress, Tracy, was very kind and attentive. She went through the whole menu with us and helped me pick out my first cocktail! The food was delicious and very filling!

Locals recommended this place as one of the best in town. We couldn’t get a dinner reservation since everything was booked, so we went for breakfast instead. Our waiter was very professional and friendly. The food presentation was outstanding—better than in any other restaurant we visited in the city—but the quality of the ingredients was below average. The restaurant was packed with guests, which made it a bit noisy. The interior design was beautiful. Overall, it was our best experience in Charlotte, though still not comparable to NYC.

This is a restaurant where we truly felt welcome and appreciated as patrons. We had a party of four (including a toddler) and Alex -our server was extremely attentive from start to finish. We tried a couple of appetizers (whipped ricotta and meatballs) and had their pastas and salmon for main. Grateful for the pizza option for our toddler, was so tasty... Also great ambiance, great cocktails- it was a Saturday and the place was packed but not extremely loud. Overall a very good experience and looking forward to repeating it.

Several locals recommended Angeline‘s. I came here on my second day of a two day visit to Charlotte and left wishing that I had had dinner here twice. I wasn’t super hungry so I got the fig bruschetta and the pork belly small plates. They were absolutely spectacular. The combination of complementary flavors was over the top and just the right amount. The bartender brought me two complementary chai truffles that were the perfect ending to a great dinner at the bar. If you’re ever in downtown Charlotte, I highly recommend a visit to Angeline‘s. You will not be disappointed.

What a great dinner! The whipped feta, gnocchi, and lamb were all incredible. Sven and the rest of the staff were friendly, accommodating, and efficient. It was one of the better meals I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend.

What a gorgeous restaurant. We chose to eat outside (I don’t like air conditioning) and the patio was SO CUTE. Got to sit amongst some gorgeous plants in a sunken patio. What could be better. We had the Whipped Ricotta as an appetizer and I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. It was delicious. I had the Chicken Sugo for dinner and my husband had the Gnocchi. Both plates were bursting with flavor and tasted unlike anything I’ve experienced in Charlotte. Our server (her name escapes me, cute blonde, super bubbly) was excellent. It’s rare to have good food service these days and she was just a breath of fresh air. We will definitely be returning.

Danielle was an outstanding server. She was friendly, knew the menu very well, and made us feel right at home. The food was terrific. Great experience!

Excellent breakfast!! Stopped in after a race and was glad we did. Service is top notch! The place is managed well. Very clean! Exciting menu!! Can’t wait to go back.

The breakfast was very good here. I had a Southwest scrambler with the eggs done just right and sausage with tortillas and avocado with tomato. I also had coffee and orange juice in their cute cup. Varied menu with something for everyone. The service was excellent with lots of coffee. I will go again!

Very lovely place! I had an amazing experience and the service was definitely amazing. Food was delicious and the drinks were definitely my kinda drinks! It's a 30 minute drive for me, but I will DEFINITELY be back. I highly recommend.

Very nice breakfast, lunch and brunch spot. I love having brunch. I got the shrimp and grits with garlic bread. Everything was delicious the restaurant was packed there were people waiting for a table. The staff was very friendly. It is a cute breakfast restaurant.

Service was amazing she helped us out with our options! Food was yummy, fresh fruit too! we got the Floridian omelette and the Benedict, super good. Also a lot of seafood options so if you’re into that, this is an amazing option for cheaper seafood.

Service was top notch but the food left a lot to be desired with. The location is great though but they need to work on better food options rather than bland breakfast options.

You have to try the Hash Brown Benedict. Crispy hash brown croquettes that are cooked to perfection👌. Topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, made it amazingly delicious 😋. I chose country potatoes with it and a coffee. Everything ordered was cooked fresh and served hot.

This is a good breakfast and Lunch place! I had the Cilantro lime chicken wrap and waffle fries. The chicken was tender and flavorful. Waffle fries were tasty and crisp. My friend in our group had the Pancake Sandwich which had very large fluffy pancakes. She said it was delicious and gets it regularly. Our server was attentive and friendly. I will come back and try the Pancake Sandwich!

The food is always very well made and nicely seasoned. They always get out orders right. The staff is very accommodating especially Jessica!

Always pleasant. I wish their home fries had more flavor and were not so fried. Maybe some onion and peppers with them or just more flavor. The French toast was good. The quiche and fruit were good as well. Always able to get seat quickly. Friendly fast service.

3.5 stars but gotta round up^^ Got 2 coffees, 1 espresso milkshake 1 create your own omelette 1 order of carrot cake pancakes 1 order of 2 flavor pancakes and 1 order of sir Benedict omelette, Coffees: terrible, tasted like sewage. Espresso milkshake: Pretty good tasted like espresso and chocolate loved it. Create your own omelette: pretty good. Sir benedeit Omelette: flavor was good, Switched chicken with bacon. 2 flavored pancakes: they were decent not the best around but pretty decent for a quick bite. Fruit cup: AWFUL literally them fruits tasted terrible it kinda tasted expired and sour. We were too full that we didn’t taste the carrot cake pancakes! Food was decent (words of each dish was from the person who ate it) check is below to see more details and pics are also there!! Waitress was nice and attentive and kind overall

I love this place and really enjoy to be here. It is always tasty, breakfast is delicious and servants try to do their best to make your morning relaxed and pleasant. But what I really don’t like and can’t give 5 starts - are tables and dishes. Tables are always stinky and I need to sanitize it each time and dishes (mugs and plates) have cracks and scratches and it looks disgusting. I think to change broken plates is not a big deal for the restaurant 👍 This small island outside looks like a paradise- I would like to add some fans during summer time and more plants.

Great lil neighborhood breakfast spot with yummy lattes. Love the omelets. Everything is hot and fresh.

A pretty straightforward breakfast/brunch spot! Classic menu items although I got a delicious French toast the first time I checked this place out! Atmosphere is relatively casual but a nice seated spot for after church or just a quick bite. No complaints about the service or atmosphere either!

We had an amazing experience at this wine bar! Abby and Taylor were absolutely perfect—warm, attentive, and made us feel taken care of the entire evening. The bread was freshly made and delicious. We ordered the Parrillada Barcelona plate, a bottle of wine, and a few small tapas, and everything was spot on. Great food, great wine, and truly outstanding service. Highly recommend!

The food was outstanding. I had the stuffed dates (6/10), swordfish(9/10), chicken thigh (10/10), carrots (10/10). I felt like the dates were slightly out of balance, just a bit too sweet overall. The fish and chicken and carrots were all just fabulous. Every sauce was so delicious. I highly recommend this place depending on what you are looking for. The atmosphere is different depending on where you sit, because the inside feels totally different than the outside. Inside the restaurant is very very loud with industrial loft type furniture. I felt like the noise level was really high due to the concrete floors and abundant metal throughout the design and the music level. The outside had about 8 to 10 tables with lots of umbrellas up for shade. After sunset they light candles, so the ambience was really nice. The outside patio was also much quieter. They had 80s music playing low/mid level. I was originally sitting at a table right by the exit door, but it was really stifling. The waiter noticed me fanning myself and suggested that I move over by the fan. That helped immensely. That corner just must be in a dead air area. If I recommend anything to the restaurant it would be to add more fans out there. With the Charlotte Humidity seems fans are an absolute must when sitting outside in July.

Loud thumping music but the food and atmosphere makes up for it. Featuring tapas style food and some bigger options for sharing like their meat board. Service was a little slow but we went on a Friday during peak hour so there’s that. The pan con tomate was really delicious, as was the croquetas.

Food and atmosphere are amazing here, great spot for a date night or special occasion. Prices are somewhat high but worth it for the quality and atmosphere. Service is usually pretty great, but can be a bit busy sometimes slowing things down a bit.

Great tapas spot. Lots of options and great atmosphere. Patatas bravas are some of the best I’ve had in the US. Croquettes were great too. Didn’t get any wine but seem to have a wide selection of Spanish wines including select flights. Wish they gave you complimentary bread for the leftover butter/oil from the gambas.

My friends and I came here for tapas and sangria for my bachelorette weekend. We had the best time!! Our waitress, Abbie, was so helpful and made sure we got the best bang for our buck. She bought us some drinks to celebrate, and had great recommendations throughout the night. The staff was amazing and the manager also bought us drinks and delivered them in a fun, creative way. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be returning soon!

Absolutely loved it food was delicious,Service was amazing loved our server.Me and my fiancé went for his birthday yesterday.Totally look forward coming back.

Good place to start your morning. Reasonably healthy breakfast options. Try out their freshly squeezed orange juice. There are many options for wraps , sandwiches, and eggs. The food is not greasy and feels wholesome. The service is slow and the place is a little old.

We went to this place to go eat before heading back and overall it was good. The food was a solid 8/10 and service was 9/10 the staff was great(shout out to our servers and chef)! They did mess up our order but totally okay just messed up a side, they even remade my waffle. Definitely try out the orange juice very good! The prices are very reasonable and affordable! I really liked this place especially since it wasn’t too far from our hotel!

Fun place, good drinks, food was mediocre. Was excited that they have real maple syrup. But the eggs were way over cooked. Our server, Terrence was great. However when our food came out, he was busy with a couple of new tables so not worth waiting to get new eggs. Definitely not a place to go if you are in a hurry.

Came here on a Monday morning for breakfast. 5 of us. We waited 15 minutes to get a seat. When we finally got our seats, we already knew our orders from waiting so long. Drink orders went in and asked if we could put our food order also. After putting the whole order in, food came out first in about 5 minutes. My omelette was tasty and good, but my breakfast potatoes were really cold and under cooked. Drinks never came until we were finished with food! Then complained and still took a while. We will not be back. Plenty of other places

Food was excellent! You get a big portion. Service was amazing as well. This place is kind of hidden but definitely a place to go to.

I placed a togo order and my shrimp and grits looked ate out of. a piece of rubber was also found inside of them. my pancakes were NASTY! and i don’t even know how that’s possible. however the waiter who took my order was really sweet. but i dont recommend

I’ve come here a couple times before & never really had a bad experience except for this time around. We walked In With 4 people they had us on a 20 minute wait which was fine, once we got sat we waited for around 12 minutes before a server even approached our table and once he did we ordered our drinks which all came out at scattered times. One of us didn’t get their drink till after the food hit the table. I got eggs Benedict which one came out as a semi fried egg…… & the potatoes were barely warm. Another got a tuna melt & it came out stone cold. We didn’t have enough table touches to see if we needed anything or if it came out okay. I work in the service industry and this was just a pretty poor experience. I’m not sure if sitting upstairs is what affected the service & food/ drink running problems.

Love the location and the diversity of the staff and patrons! I’m not sure this place is wheelchair friendly it’s rather small and in a residential area so it has limited parking surrounding the block it’s on. We did not love the waffles. We were under the impression that they were made fresh. They were heated up and pile with toppings, but the waffle itself is extremely dense and a bit cold. They run about $7.25 apiece. I would definitely suggest starting with one to share to see if you like it before diving headfirst into the different options.

We had such high hopes for this adorable little corner spot! The concept is wonderful and both the exterior, and interior, were warm and inviting on a spring day filled with bird song. We love supporting small businesses and the great reviews pulled us in on a late Thursday morning. Unfortunately, the waffles, coffee, and service all fell well short of our expectations. While not busy, the two people working seemed overwhelmed. Our waffles came out 10 minutes apart from each other. They were cold and hard, pulled from a plastic case where they are stored. We had difficulty trying to cut into them with provided utensils. Bland and flavorless. Coffee from the urn was lukewarm. Wife’s specialty coffee arrived after we were done eating. Unfortunately, we did not eat most of the waffle(s) and the coffee was tossed. I think it’d be a wonderful spot had the waffles been made fresh, coffee served hot, and orders arrived together as is the standard in any eatery. Perhaps we’ll give it another go in the future.

I was really looking forward to trying Cast Iron Waffles, but unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. We ordered the Blueberry Lemon waffle and the Lumberjack, and both left a lot to be desired. The waffles themselves were crazy sweet to the point that it overpowered any other flavor. On top of that, the ingredients tasted noticeably artificial, which was disappointing. The Lumberjack waffle came with cold, flavorless bacon, and both waffles were cold when they arrived at the table. The service was great though.

Amazing waffles!! Best batter I have ever tasted. I have an extreme sweet tooth so this was the perfect brunch for me. Quiet and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for my children. Not overstimulating. Great prices. We all had drinks and waffles for under $50 and there were 5 of us. I would come back again.

From the moment we pulled up, we knew this place was going to be special. The outside is super cute, and as soon as we stepped in, we were hit with the amazing smell of fresh waffles and coffee. You can actually see the dough being made right from the register, which adds such a nice homemade touch. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting with soft music playing in the background. There was even a corner with kids’ books to keep little ones entertained, such a thoughtful detail! We ordered two waffles (blueberry lemon and a berry-topped one) and iced coffees, and everything was absolutely delicious. There were so many waffle options, it was hard to choose! Our order was ready super fast and brought right to our table. This place is a hidden gem in Charlotte. Can’t wait to come back!

Cute little waffle and coffee shop in the area. The food was super cute as well. A bit too sweet for my liking but the waffles were so so good. You definitely need a knife to cute through them because they are thick! Make sure to ask for syrup if you wanna add it to your plate. Didn’t get to try the coffee but it smelled amazing. Parking on the side street appeared to be fine but there was no actual indicators about where to park.

We found coffee—real coffee! And it’s delicious! ☕The service isn’t exactly what we got spoiled with in Europe, but hey, they smiled and brought caffeine. We’re happy.

After an amazing day at the spa, we decide why not check out Fine and Fettle. First and foremost, let me say although they may have been understaffed, the staff that was present was amazing. Once we were seated, our waitress immediately greeting us at the table and ask for drink order. Since we arrived just in time for brunch, we asked for recommendations. She recommended both the Chicken and Waffles, the French Toast, which we decided to order. For our drinks we decided on coffee and a glass of Prosecco. I must say, the drink glassware is stunning. Our food was cooked to perfection! The chicken was juicy and seasoned very well; it had a little heat but not enough to overpower the dish. The French Toast was also delicious! The berry compote and homemade whip cream was a nice touch.

Understaffed like most places and honestly I expect that everywhere these days however the waitress said I had to sit at the bar "cause I'm only one here, have too many people before you, and you are only one person". Ate at the bar where I constantly had to ask for water refilled to a tiny cup, out of burgers so ask for a grilled chicken breast (not on menu) they "forgot" to make so it took 30 minutes to finally get the most driest, cold!, horrible chicken I've ever had. 2 stars over 1 for the bartender who at least recognized the time it took and removed from my bill.

A Charlotte hidden gem. Once others experience how great dinner is, it will likely become a hot spot The drinks are excellent. The craft that goes into the cocktails you can see smell and taste. The food is made from scratch and delicious. Wife had the scallops and raves about them. I had the rigatoni and it was the best pasta I’ve had in Charlotte The pizzas are cooked so well they have that nice crunch on the bottom with fresh ingredients on top Great restaurant! All covid protocols are in place and they have outdoor heated seating too.

We were staying at the hotel for one night where Nine & Fettle is located and decided on a nightcap in the bar. It's a nicely designed boutique-y space that matches the overall flare of the hotel. We were just looking for drinks and their cocktails looked pretty fabulous. Watching the bartender actually make them to was a pretty fun production, especially when he got into double-handed shaking mode. The drinks we got were okay. We selected the Pirate Jenny IV and the Down But Nut Out cocktails. Both were beautiful to look at, but not sweet at all and a little hard to drink. I'm not a fan of an overly sweet cocktail but both of these lacked any kind of sweet element to balance out the other flavors and make them go down a little more easily. There are also many other cocktails we could have chosen so it's possible others have a little bit more balanced flavor profile. Kudos also to them for having a "mocktails" section so anyone who doesn't drink can feel included in the fun. Although we didn't eat anything I loved that their food menu not only had plenty of options for vegetarians and gluten-free diners and those items are prominently labeled as such. (This was just the bar menu too...there are more such options don't the main dinner menu.) Not sure if this place is a destination on its own, but you'll do well if you're staying at the hotel to stop in for a meal, snack or drink.

Fine and Fettle was not exactly what I was expecting from the pictures. Of all the brunch location based off location alone; I would say possibly look at other options. Outside of it being a bit far from downtown Charlotte; this resturant is 100% attached to a hotel (what seems like a lobby). This was not really displayed in the pictures. Don't get me wrong some of the best resturants are attached to the rooftops of hotels but the quality and cost of food surely gave hotel cafeteria "vibes". Personally, the food wasn't all that great. The cost was high teens and low 20s. Some of their speciality drinks weren't good and staff was a bit hard to find at times. The staff we did interact with were sweet and did their job but it doesn't make up for the food at all. However, there is free 2 hour valet parking and the outside seating/near the window area was a nice view and space to enjoy the weather. I won't return but I hope that you find joy in your visit here at Fine and Fettle.

So this is going to be a COVID grading scale. We ate breakfast here for two days. The service needs some serious improvements for sure. There were not that many tables, but they had two waitresses, and most of the time they were hard to get service out of. The food is different, more yuppy type of breakfast. On the first day, we ordered our food, which was good, but it does take forever. When we ordered, I ordered OJ and my son took two sips of it and stated he did not want it anymore because it tasted bad. Again, not the end of the world. On day two, we ordered our food, the pancakes were definitely not as fresh and yummy as the first day. Was it bad, nah not at all. Was the concept nice, sure was. Do you want to eat here if you are in a rush, not in the least. Would I eat here again, maybe if it was part of my package. What I can say is that if this was not COVID times, the score would be different for sure.

This place is AMAZING, the drinks are top notch. These are from Nori and Cecil. The espresso martini is absolutely the best we have ever had. The experience here was incredible. We just ate here 1 day ago and came back the next day because of how good it was. Food is beautiful and delicious. Our new favorite spot.

Soon as I walked in I was greeted and seated 🪑, nice environment I mean the scenery was relaxed and welcoming. Now, the food was a little bland, I ordered the “Cajun Sausage Skillet” and was highly disappointed 😔, that dish should be changed to “ Home Fry Skillet”. It was literally around 5 thinly sliced sausage and the rest of the skillet was filled with home fries. It looked a little suspicious 🤨 with the egg covering the skillet as if trying to hide the fact they ran out of sausage or something I’m not sure 🤷🏾‍♂️. My advice, take the egg off and make sure you get sausage if you decide to get this dish. A little over priced for such simple meals.

Pretty big breakfast spot. Wasn’t super busy at 7am. Friendly staff. Simple but yummy food. Decent coffee. Big parking lot. Community focused.

The food, coffee, and people here are incredible! I met Will and his team and was blown away! Chef Shay and her crew made the most delicious food ever ! Sarah and Megan made sure everything was great for our shoot as well!

While in the Charlotte area, I looked up places to eat breakfast and I came across this restaurant since it had pretty good reviews. When first coming in honestly I didn't feel welcomed from the young lady at the desk. She just asked where would I like to sit at. She didn't specify or tell me that one side is like self serve and the other side you will have a server/waiter, that would have been nice to know especially since it was my first time but I learned that information from asking another staff member at the coffee side once I realized which side I chose, while waiting to be waited on since I wasn't given a menu or anything. While sitting and watching I did notice how some others that came in were greeted by the same young lady at the door which is why I couldn't give 5 stars. However, to the good part. I'll upload a picture of what I ordered but I can honestly say these were the best cheese grits I ever tasted so far, I could eat it by itself! My food was a 4 1/2 and thats only because the potatoes tasted funny (sorry I can't explain this better) other than that my tea was good, and the rest of my food was good. I just wished the service, feeling more welcomed, just some type of advice/explanation kinda just something for someone that is new to the restaurant which I was sure to mention for that reason when coming in. So, hopefully that is better next time because I have to go back again for those grits. Hopefully, I can edit this review and/or update with a better experience. Food is good Atmosphere good Service needs improvement

My wife and I had a great breakfast here. I had the crème brûlée French toast 😋. Definitely recommend. It would be a great dish to share. It was sweet. Overall the food, atmosphere, and staff were great! The best thing about this place is the help it provides to the recovering community is amazing. I wish I wasn’t terrible with names because our waitress was so awesome. She was very attentive and friendly we didn’t want for anything. Since it was our first time in she shared a little about her recovery and how this place helps with an easier transition back into the workforce.

ANNE with Offline - A place to fill your belly and your heart. I think that this mission is not only heartwarming to help the community but they have not skimped on the flavor or creative license of the chefs! From the coziest, spiced chai to the savory peach toast! Sooooo amazing! Definitely try this out when you are in the area. No disappointments for us.

Delicious! The two-egg breakfast came with impressive chosen sides - really fresh fruit and tasty yogurt! Everything tasted high-quality and thoughtfully prepared. The setting is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Really loved it here! We had the Basil Pesto Chicken, The Mariachi and Creme de la Crepe which were all really really delicious but personal favorite was the Pesto. Very clean, super friendly people, and excellent food. When I'm craving crepes in NC I'll make the effort to come back here again.

I've been looking for a decent crepe and Hazelnuts Creperie has over-delivered. The space itself is inviting with its decor. This establishment is amazing. The staff are super cool, friendly, polite, and helpful they take the time to prepare your order to perfection and deliver it with a smile. Once you sit and take your first bite you know you're going to be hooked. It's an absolute gem so give them a try.

The crepes were really tasty and well done. The space was pleasant looking but cold. They had the temperature for the workers there near the cooking area (she told me so) and the rest of the space was really cold, eating at 68° is not pleasant for me. The tables outside are okay. There is no service to speak off, you order and pick up yourself. Good for a quick meal.

This is thee spot for crepes!!!! Excellent service!! Clean, friendly, knowledgeable and tasty. We will be returning

Good crepes for a non French restaurant in Charlotte. Staff is always great, they are very accommodating with substitutions. Our family sweet go to is the Nutella with strawberry’s and banana! And for savory they like the pesto chicken. I normally go for the just cheese and opt for the Swiss. Ample seating indoor and outdoor. Whole vegetarian section and gluten free options

These crepes are not the most photogenic but boy are they good! Got the small Nutella and the regular chicken curry. It's a bit weird having warm lettuce in the crepe but the flavors were really good. Would definitely go back. Oh also most things available gluten free so very much a plus!

After getting fasting lab work done, I was happy to find Hazelnuts close by (first time customer). I got the Maple Dream which was delicious and filling! Nice combo of sweet (maple syrup) and savory (bacon)! Sorry no pics. Posting was an afterthought. It tasted so good, I had to review it.

We had an amazing dining experience here. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing authentic Peruvian flavors with every bite, a true taste of Peru. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere added to the vibrant, welcoming vibe. Don’t miss the ceviche! If you’re craving bold, expertly prepared Peruvian cuisine, this is the place. My family and I love it. We’ll definitely be back!

These folks are a good lot. I enjoyed my unplanned visit after a float spa appointment. Perfect stop for lunch IMO. The whole staff were friendly and humorous as an unaffiliated ad was shot there and the people didn't even spend $$ with the establishment. Just adios and thanks. The Ceviche was excellent. I got the Rocoto with shrimp and fish. YES! Loved it. Primary reason for the stop and I savored every bite. After good conversation with some other locals and a tasty margarita, I know I'll be back to further sample the menu.

The Cuban fried rice is probably one of the BEST fried rice meals I've ever had. In my whole life. My husband got 2 half sandwiches and they were both great. If we lived closer we would be here allllllll the timmmmeeeee. We already can't wait to get back to this side of Charlotte and try something new. The whole atmosphere and staff were amazing and so welcoming. Our younger male waiter was great and had a lot of great recommendations. There was a female (maybe manager) that came and asked us how everything was - and then we saw her eating lunch - which is a great sign when a manager eats the food! She was super nice and had recommened a few dishes to try next time as well.

Finally after couple of tries, got to visit this place on a summer Sunday and it was worth it. The mixed ceviche(shrimp & white fish) was one of the best in Charlotte. Equally good were the Shrimp Chaufa(Peruvian fried rice) & Tallerin(Noodles). All the ingredients were fresh and you can taste the distinct flavors. Will definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. It’s a small place with limited parking space. So plan accordingly. Service is good.
