    Shrimp Cocktail

    Beef 'N Bottle is a true Charlotte staple! I absolutely love the classic ambiance of the space, completely decked out with Hollywood star photos, dark wood, and white tablecloths. The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. This spot is highly popular, so I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance! You really can't go wrong with any of the food options here. They pay immense attention to the finer details, down to all of their delicious homemade salad dressings. The homemade cheese and crackers they bring out to start your meal may sound simple, but it sets a wonderfully unique tone for the rest of your night. The steaks are always cooked to absolute perfection. The filet medallions are easily my favorite because they come served with three different, delicious toppings. Plus, the steaks come topped with an onion ring, which is such a fun extra treat! For sides, the onion rings, balsamic Brussels sprouts, and the fried cheesy potatoes are true standouts. They also feature a great cocktail and wine selection--and if you are a fan of a solid, classic dirty martini, I can absolutely vouch for theirs!

    For our anniversary my wife and I gave BnB a try. Victor was a great waiter/server! We were seated in a back area that was separated from the main dining area. Tables were too close; and you couldn't help but overhear everyone's conversations. Finally they turned on some music that slightly helped. Next time we'll make a reservation for the main dining area. We had the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were giant and delicious. The homemade cocktail sauce was a bit strong (too much horseradish and too much in the serving). I had the ribeye, and I'll be honest, it was just alright. It was cooked as ordered (medium rare) and had a light seasoning, but as a previous reviewer mentioned was grizzly and fatty, but the searing fat didn't add to the steaks flavor. The steak fries and creamed spinach were delicious. My wife had the salmon, red potatoes, and Brussels sprout. She said they were all delicious, but the salmon could have been larger (for the price). We had a slice of key lime pie for dessert. It was good, but was a tiny sliver. The Linville Falls chardonay was good. And again, great job Victor!!!!

    Went for a birthday and this spot was the perfect place for it. Unassuming from the outside you realize it's because their money goes towards their staff and the food. Our waitress was very attentive, informative, and nice. When I ordered the wrong level of steak, they were quick to take it back and cook it a bit longer for me, even though it was 100% my fault. That's the type of service I'd expect from a nice restaurant and it made the experience that much better. Let alone all their drinks which were top notch! Highly highly recommend

    You truly can't go wrong with a visit to beef and bottle. This is one of the oldest steakhouses in Charlotte and they have been doing it since 1958. Catering to romantic hearts as well as business travelers, it can be hard to see inside the restaurant because they keep it dimly lit, but once you put the food in your mouth, you won't care what it looks like. It's so good. We always get a steak with crab meat on top and sides. Their sides are large enough to share so if you want to split who's getting what side and share you are definitely encouraged to do that. I would definitely suggest making a reservation as this place books out quick!! They have

    Made a reservation for our anniversary and stated it was our anniversary on the reservation. We got caught in traffic and I called ahead to say we were running 5 minutes late, was that okay. She made a point on the phone to say "well there's a reservation at 7:10 behind you". We arrive and walk in the door at 6:05. The place is not packed on a Thursday night, plenty of seating and you know where they sat us for our anniversary? By the bathroom and the kitchen. The worst table in the restaurant. The waiter took 10 minutes after we're seated to ask us for drinks. There was only one water glass on the table and the waiter didn't bother to look at the reservation bc he asked "are we celebrating anything?" And just like the universes perfect timing they bussed a booth across from us and placed a "reserved" sign on the table. The food was mid at best. Only thing I would come back for is the cheese spread which I asked to buy and found they don't even make it in house. Brussels were over dressed and cold. My husbands potato wasn't hot enough to melt the cold butter they gave us. Sea bass portions were huge but had no flavor and needed a pan sauce not tarter sauce (gross). For the price and service, I'd rather buy some cheese wiz and saltines before giving this dark and inhospitable place another dime of my money. Also they didn't even acknowledge our anniversary. They don't even pack your leftovers. This "institution" is dead and IMO def leaning racist.

    Fried Cheesy Potato
    Ian N.

    Choice Cut Ribeye (4/5): Decent steak but it was too fatty. The fat also didn't translate into the big, beefy flavor I was hoping for. Balsamic Glazed Brussel Sprouts (4/5): Slightly undercooked compared to most brussel sprout dishes I've had. I liked the texture but would've loved some more of the glaze. Fried Cheesy Potato (4/5): Great texture--crunchy outside and soft inside. Almost no flavor though... Couldn't even tell there was cheese in there. I ended up dunking these in ketchup. Onion Rings (4/5): These were fine. The onion was dry and the batter was lacking in crispiness but I just like onion rings. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    We celebrated our four-year anniversary here. BEST. DECISION. EVER. They had us set up in the most romantic corner ever. I could finally see what the reviewers mean by "old-school steakhouse." Drinks: Old Fashioned + the best red Cab ever. We ended up buying a bottle. Eats: Creamed spinach 5/5, crab dip 5/5, ribeye 5/5... you see where this is going. Everything was fantastic. Surprisingly, the complimentary cheese and crackers were also a huge hit. The waitress packed us more to go lol. Can't wait to come again!

    I've come here every valentines weekend with my girlfriends for the last 3 years and this place never fails to charm me. Get a reservation early! This place is Unique; Capital U! It's been around a long time and is super popular. This is where you get your clean traditional style steak dinner. Prices are affordable, service is warm and consistent. These folks will explain specials and key menu items while also winning over your friendship. So many food items are worth it here. I love getting a ribeye. Frog legs are a rarely seen classic. All of the dips are to die for!! This is a great "apps and wine" spot for girls night. Through and through you won't be disappointed. You'll see wood paneling, black and white framed photos, and dim warm lighting that feels vintage and nostalgic. Dining here shows you a peek into some CLT history. *Due to this classic location being long standing there is some uneven flooring between dining rooms--they always make accommodations for any accessibility needs and are very kind about doing so.

    Finally got around to trying this Charlotte staple! Went on a Wednesday evening and it was totally packed. Loved the wall art, lower lighting, and classic vibe. Side note: I love anywhere that has their own matchbooks! To drink, my date had an old fashioned and I had a dirty martini. Both cocktails were perfectly made, and the bleu cheese olives were great. To eat, we started with the escargot. I've had it before, my date had not. He was so surprised that it was as good as it was. Perfectly buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. The bread that accompanied it was wonderful too. For entrees, he had the ribeye with a Caesar and loaded baked potato. I had the filet medallions, one with the horseradish crust and the other with the red wine butter. On the side, I had a Caesar and broccoli. My filet medallions were cooked a perfect medium rare and was some of the best steak I've had. The horseradish was strong - which was to be expected, but keep that in mind! The red wine butter was absolutely delicious. Broccoli was exactly how I like it, steamed, soft, and lightly buttered. Caesar was good too, but the steak was definitely the star. Service throughout was excellent. Despite how busy it was, everything came out relatively quickly. We had the best time and I can't wait to return.

    Beef N Bottle is a Charlotte staple. I love everything about this place. It's Charlotte's oldest steakhouse and still brings it every night. The bar is small, but full of character. The star is the shrimp cocktail for me. It is the BEST, hottest most flavorful cocktail sauce in the city. Their steaks are also phenomenal! Still cooked in an old fashioned way that leave it full of flavor! Their desserts are also incredible too. One note, service is amazing, but on Sunday there is no bartender so the servers make the drinks.

    Arrived late into town one night decided on this place. No tables available so we sat at the bar in the back of the restaurant. Great service ! Great Steak. Tries the frog legs too. Very old school steak house vibes.

    Thank you Yelpers for the recommendation. Went to Beef 'N Bottle for the first time and absolutely loved it. The place is absolutely charming. I believe the waitress said they been in the same building since 1978. I had the 12 oz ribeye, creamed spinach and baked potato. My wife had the filet and sea bass that was on special. Not only was the ribeye a superb cut and cooked to absolute perfection, the flavor was amazing. I don't know if it was the quality of the beef or the aging or the fact they've been service steaks in that building since 1978 but it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Not overly seared or seasoned or covered in butter but perfectly charred and natural flavor. Bravo to you Beef N' Bottle. I will definitely be back.

    Classic menu.

    Do they require reservations?

    Yes, I believe they do.

    Would this be a good place to bring my kids too? I want to take my wife, mom and kids out for a nice Valentine's Day dinner, after Valentine's Day though, and didn't know if this place would be good.

    Romantic, intimate and sophisticated for couples. Kids would feel like they were not in the right place.

    Are you dog friendly?

    To answer your question (I'm only a frequent patron) I don't believe they are.

    I relocated to Charlotte from Louisiana and this place is spot on from food to service.read more

    As a girl born in Texas, a really good chicken fried steak is practically part of my DNA. It's one…read moreof those comfort foods I don't eat often because it's so rich--but when I see it on a menu, it absolutely catches my attention. That's exactly what drew me to The Southern Pecan in SouthPark. Here in the South, they call it country fried steak, and I'm happy to report this one did not disappoint. I met a colleague there for lunch, and everything about the experience felt easy from the start. The restaurant is located in Phillips Place, a lovely little shopping area that feels a bit polished and upscale--with shops like Orvis, Tory Burch, and even a Restoration Hardware restaurant nearby. They do offer valet parking, which is a nice touch, though honestly parking is easy enough on your own. We had reservations through OpenTable and were seated on the patio, which was absolutely delightful for this time of year in Charlotte. The weather was perfect, the setting was relaxed, and the service started off warm and welcoming right away. Now, the food. The country fried steak was beautifully cooked--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and served with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy that hit all the nostalgic notes from my Texas upbringing. I paired it with a vegetable side (I believe it was broccoli or corn), and it was a classic Southern plate done right. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, and to finish, we split a praline bread pudding, which felt like the perfect Southern ending to the meal--sweet, comforting, and indulgent without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and attentive, and one of the things I continue to appreciate about Charlotte is how easy it is to connect with people. We even chatted with diners at nearby tables, which added to that welcoming, community feel that makes dining out here so enjoyable--especially for someone coming from the Bay Area. Prices felt fair for the quality, the setting, and the portion sizes, and overall the experience left a great impression. Bottom line: If you're craving a solid Southern classic like country fried steak--or just want a relaxed patio lunch in a charming part of SouthPark--The Southern Pecan is definitely worth a visit. And as someone happily eating my way through Charlotte and the Southeast, this stop was another reminder that the journey has been a delicious one.
