    Great ambiance and food! Nice beer and cocktail selections too. My shrimp and grits was one of top 5 best I've ever had. My son's steak was cooked to perfection. The restaurant is located inside a big shopping plaza area but inside it was beautiful and cozy. 4 stars instead of 5 because they sat me in a booth under a leaky AC Roof and put a rag there to absorb the leak and said I can wipe it before I scoot out ....weird...maybe I wouldn't have minded if they offered something like free dessert or beer, something as a reward to deal with something I shouldn't have had to deal with.

    Wanting to share this great menu w/friends we came to 44 Mills for early dinner; this place isn't a secret anymore & fills up fast. The summer menu is great; we ordered burrata cheese w/fresh fruit & crostinis & chicken lollipops for apps. Very different & both delicious. For entrees we ordered the shrimp & grits, pork chop & short ribs. Both the presentation & taste were over the top. They had a nice wine list & made some great suggestions, overall a great dinner. 44 Mills had become our 1st choice when we come to town, don't miss it!

    I feel like this is one of those small neighborhood gems that people tend to forget about, including myself. It's been a couple of years since I was last here, but decided to stop in for dinner yesterday evening and was very impressed with the overall service and menu. Everything looked and sounded so good that it was hard to choose. I ended up getting the short ribs with mashed potatoes and some carrots and separately, I ordered some crispy calamari. For dessert I took home the lemon berry mascarpone cake. Everything was so delicious that I'm thinking about going back today.

    Second time here for dinner and it was even better than the first thanks to Amelia! Our server was friendly, helpful, professional and fast. She anticipated our needs and checked in often. It was a busy night so it stood out to me that she was so attentive. Our food was delicious of course: deviled eggs, salmon, and burger. She explained the Cabarrus burger contest. Their burger is amazing, check it out! I saw groups as well as couples. Dining room is not large but the layout maximizes the space: high tops, regular tables and booths as well as bar seating. Nice ambiance, low lighting, casual. Bathrooms are gender neutral, clean, nice decor. We were one of the last tables and Amelia took time to chat with us. She even asked our names! We'll definitely be back and ask for Amelia!

    Pasta with blackened chicken.   It was way to soupy and the chicken was not blackened and not seasoned enough

    Chase as the new mgr is a great change. We loved him as the bartender. There are new servers there now who try really hard. One suggestion is to make sure you hear all of the order so as to not make a mistake. I was served pork and not the roasted chicken dinner. For someone who doesn't eat pork that was disheartening. But thankfully Chase understood and apologized and took care of that portion of the bill. I'm not sure when we will be back.

    This is such a cute local spot that has the perfect ambiance with dim lighting that makes the place more intimate and cozy. Our server Amelia was great. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend asking for her! Started off with one of the holiday specialty drinks , the mimosa mistletoe which was a cranberry and rosemary ice cube served with champagne. This was so good that more than one round was ordered. The truffle fries are a great way to start the meal. The entrees we decided on was the fresh cut salmon and the roasted chicken breast. 10/10! Everything was perfect to the presentation, portion amount, and the taste. Nothing went to waste! I absolutely enjoyed my dinner here and can't wait to come back!

    Great service but a bit loud inside. The food was hot and fresh but the proximity of other parties dampened the experience. Nonetheless this is a great spot for bites and great drink selection.

    We started with an order of Calamari appetizer which was cooked to tender crispy perfection. We all ordered the braised short rib. It was phenomenal. Our server was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. She brought out the dessert we ordered with a candle for my mother's birthday, which was very sweet. The chocolate cake was melt in your mouth perfection! It was moist, and chocolaty chocolate without being overly sweet. When you walked in the waiting area is relatively small, but we only waited. Two minutes. I think most people make reservations.; we did not so we were very fortunate that we were able to be seated so quickly. The lighting in here is perfect slightly dim, but not so much. You can't see your food. There is a large full-size bar with excellent bartenders as everyone at our table. Enjoyed their drinks. We will definitely go back.

    Truffle Fries
    Cara P.

    I came to 44 mills with a friend on a weekday at lunch. It was not crowded and we were promptly seated. Nice ambiance that will make you want to come back. We ordered the truffle fries and Caesar salad with salmon. Everything was delicious and fresh. I still dream about the salmon. Customer service was great and I plan to come back. It's a hidden gem.

    Truffle fries! These are a must! Very flavorful.
    Kyshia M.

    We didn't have a reservation but they were able to accommodate with little wait time. It was packed, prime time Friday night. The hostesses and our waiter were a delight. We was cracking jokes and having the best convos. Ok now for the nitty gritty. I ordered a rosé, it was still although it was in the sparkling wine section. It was still good as I could do with either and didn't have a preference. For our apps we ordered the truffle fries and the bang bang shrimp. SMACKING! Both were hella good! The bang bang shrimp had a light, nicely seasoned batter that was crunchy and held with the bang bang sauce drizzle. The shrimp were huge in size. Definitely a reorder. The truffle fries OMG! Every fry was coated in truffle. The parmesan cheese and whatever that white cream sauce they added on top paired so well with the fries that we couldn't stop eating them. No for real. Definitely a reorder. For my main I ordered the 44 cheeseburger. I don't eat pork so they put it on the side so my friend could put it on her chicken sandwich. The burger is a smash burger with 2 patties, pimento in the cheese, lettuce and tomatoes with a house remoulade sauce. The burger was DELICIOUS! The patty was nicely grilled, had some crunch on the edges but was juicy and seasoned! The burger comes with fries but since we ordered the truffle fries I asked to sub. They had salads and so I got the caesar salad. That was a miss. I did like the freshness of the salad. So I will give kudos for that but the dressing was a no go. It was watery and lacking true caesar flavor. I'm definitely coming back! Parking was a breeze since it's in a plaza. We were able to snag a park right in front!

    Omelette
    Alecia W.

    Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. We were able to be seated right away. Very nice ambience and atmosphere. We had a very attentive server who checked on us frequently. He also was able to answer all of our questions about the menu excellently. Food came out nice and prompt. The truffle fries were delicious and they were a good quantity. This picture was taken after we started devouring them. The omelette was nicely made; but needed some flavoring. Overall was lovely would come back

    Kids chicken tender and fries
    Jazmine H.

    Went for lunch and food did not disappoint! This is my second time visiting 44Mills. This time, I ordered the A44 Burger (made with Waygu) and it was probably the best burger I've ever had. The only negative is that my bun got soggy. Maybe they added too much sauce on it so next time, I'd request light sauce and drain the grease from my burger. My husband enjoyed his hot honey sandwich and no complaints and may daughter did like her chicken tenders and fries. Our server was very friendly and knew the menu well. We'd definitely visit again soon.

    Wife took me today for my BDAY. Our waitress Asia really was fantastic along with the food. Calamari is excellent! Outstanding restaurant that we drive a ways to because it is so good.

    Ask the Community - 44 Mills Kitchen + Tap

    Is this place good for groups of 6 or more?

    I had a group of 6 for a lunch, and while the wait was long, we had the option of dining inside or outside.

    Does 44 Mills have a kids' menu?

    They might. I would call the restaurant to be sure. We did see some kids during our visit, but I can't be sure if there is a specific kids menu.

    Any other cheese options for the burger besides pimento?

    You can substitute the pimento cheese for either cheddar or American cheese.

    Does 44 mills do reservations, I talked to someone on the phone and they said they didn't and she told me to make one on Yelp?

    They have an option on the Yelp app to make a reservation for 44 mills and set what time you'll be arriving. My fiancé and I did that and they had our name down and we were seated promptly.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes they do!

    Does this place offer takeout? Or is it done in only?

    They do offer takeout. But the experience of enjoying a meal there is great !

    Is this place kid friendly?

    They have a kids menu. We've taken our kids there and I've seen lots of others. Check out the kids menu before going if your kids are picky though.

Another party also ordered all 3 eggrolls but they were burned and had hair in them. She sent them back and her claim was disputed by both the manager and bartender. The fact that the burned Eggrolls were not replaced without a triple check shocked me. I was flabbergasted. Based on that interaction she proclaimed she wouldn't return nor would I. I was disappointed in that interaction. I was going to order the lamb and pasta but decided against it.

I think they wasted space. We tried their char-grilled Oysters, grilled crab cake, and she had several if the Oysters; Tripple D, Pink Moon and Bay Breeze being her favorite. The house Oysters were not. I tried the char and they're good. Decent profile but they're cooked so it make sense. Not New Orleans style char but good flavor. The crab cake was delicious. For the price it was huge. I was very impressed as I loved the flavor and texture. It has a lot of filler but the seasoning took me out, in a good way. Now, they provide a yummy German potato salad that I thought was really good. Its warmed up seasoned chunky potato with no flair. The coleslaw was trash though. It looks beautifully seasoned but its a vinegar based and lacks the creamy flavor depth you're used too. They do change the menu frequently. I got a chance to see a few others plates and was very impressed. There are a few other items I would love to try, Specifically the pasta! Our waitress wasn't the best but the shucker and bus boy were both great. Very friendly and energetic. Definitely not an upscale establishment as jeans and a tee are perfect. I would definitely come back!

Firstly this establishment is owned by two sisters. They were absolutely amazing, the ambiance was nice, a small intimate space but there was room enough to get up and cut a rug! Unfortunately they will be closing their doors permanently. This beautiful gem is located within a shopping strip mall and is so easy to miss, the vibe here was so good I hate that I have not known about them up until now as I could definitely see myself coming here more often now that I have been here. Parking was plentiful! Service was slow, but they were down about 4 staff members so there was literally only one person taking orders, preparing and serving the food, so we completely understood. And plus the service was great so it definitely made up for it! They paired the girl scout cookies with the wine and had us score the pairing. The host was very engaging and gave us a description and origin of each wine that was selected. I've neve experienced anything like this, it was so engaging and well orchestrated. They had a small menu of items that you could order for small bites. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was really yummy! And the garlic Parmesean wings, the wings had a bit of a kick to them and were a bit too salty for my liking, but they were cooked well and very meaty, if you like that sort thing! They also had 5 dollar drinks/cocktails available to order a well. The entire time they had a DJ playing all the hits and after the wine tasting, people got up and danced, laughed and had a good Ole time on the dance floor. It was such a great experience! I'm really sad that our community didn't show up enough to save this gem, I hate to see spaces like this go. But, I'm wishing the owners much success and blessings. Their closing day is March 14th 2026 and they are going to have a celebration, go out and support them!
