We were about 30 minutes late due to the traffic on 77. A hostess greeted us upon entry and we joined the rest of our party. The restaurant was very clean and the noise volume low enough to where we could visit and comfortably carry on conversations. Our waiter was gracious and helped us to catch up with the rest of our party. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Nior and Dinner while the rest of our party finished their appetizers and salads. I ordered the steak frites and it was just wonderful! My boyfriend ordered the special which was halibut, asparagus, and mushroom risotto. Everything was perfect! The couple that was seated across from us split the special. The kitchen didn't hesitate to split this dish for them in the kitchen before bringing it out to our table. This is just excellent customer service! They are an elderly couple and could not possibly have eaten the entire meal by themselves. Our waiter was very attentive and nobody at the table ever had an empty glass. Also, your plate was cleared the moment that you finished with your meal. This was our first visit, but definitely not the last. Thank you for making our evening out with family and friends so very special. We will definitely be back in the near future. read more

$29 Lobster roll special. We asked if fresh and told "yes". Guess it was at one time but I doubt lobster was cooked that day and meat removed. We had one each- mine was with butter. The other, lettuce (never have seen that in a Maine lobster roll) and aioli). The one with butter had a nice brioche roll but most of the lobster was small claw ends vs nice chunks. The one on lettuce was better, more larger pieces of lobster, but meat was put onto a lot of lettuce to prop it up. It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed. read more

I am a frequent guest here and have always had top notch service. Today was not that day. The place was not busy - probably due to heat. The fellow behind the bar acted like he remembered me, but then proceeded to ignore me. I didn't enjoy the beer I ordered, but was never asked. My fries were not hot, and my dis sandwich was less than enjoyable. I had to get up and find him to ask for a check, he then greeted other guests before coming to me. For the first time in many moons I only tipped 20%. Very disappointed, but will return if anyone else is working the bar. read more

A visit to Burtons Grill & Bar should be a must when you come to Charlotte, NC! The aroma draws you into the upscale establishment with picture frame windows, eclectic seating, and bar dining in the center of the restaurant. Appetizers featuring Colossal Shrimp with house made Cucumber Salad and their Meaty, Dry Rubbed Wings were excellent starters! Aaliyah was an amazing Server as she catered to our passion for great food! The Seven Layer Chocolate Cake was the Perfect Ending to a Great Meal. My only suggestion is to serve the Seven Layer Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream! read more

Service was good (thanks, Kevin!). The setting was casual dining and had ample space for seating. I had the General Tso Cauliflower and it was tasty. A friend had a Caesar Salad and enjoyed it. My downside was my Mediterranean Chicken Risotto. The protein portion size was good - but the chicken was bland and I wished for a larger rice portion. I put a good amount of salt and pepper on the chicken but it was super pale and had zero flavor. The lemon butter sauce with pesto drops was a great add on, but it probably needs more.

Firstly, I loved how allergen friendly they are. They immediately ask you if there's any allergies to be aware of and are helpful when ordering. My husband has a serious dairy allergy, so considerations like these are crucial for a stress-free dining experience. Food was pretty good, too! My only criticism is that flavor felt lacking to an extent. For example, the chicken piccatta was great! But... I had to ask for a lemon to squeeze over it because I couldn't taste any lemon. However beyond that, it was a good experience. Nice and elegant atmosphere, great service, and good food! read more

I called 3 days in advance to book a reservation for a party of 7. I was told they could only accommodate a group of 6, I booked it anyways. As a turn of event , one of my friends cancelled. When we got to our table, it had 7 chairs! Not sure why I was lied to. Menu was decent. Paying for table bread is crazy though. I was also disappointed they didn't offer oysters nor mussels. Ordered: she-crab soup, crab crusted haddock with jasmine rice and broccoli. The service was slow. But the restaurant wasn't packed. There were quite a few empty tables. It Took over 40 minutes for everyone to get their appetizers and entrees weren't service until an hour into the service. Despite the service, the food was pretty good. She-crab soup was nice and HOT! I hate luke warm soup so I was happy it was hot. The serving size of the haddock was huge. The fish was crispy and well seasoned but the rice was bland and broccoli was too soft/mushy. I also tried some of my friend's spinach artichoke dip; it was good except it was too salty. read more

Went on Valentines Night - Thankfully they had some extra space for a small party of 5. Our waitress was attentive, she gave us pretty good recommendations, and made sure we had what we needed. I got the Cabernet Braised Short Ribs w/ Mashed Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts and I definitely could taste to Cabernet. I wasn't expecting them to have a strong cab taste, but they were fine. The potatoes tasted a bit earthy considering there wasn't any peeling in them. The brussels sprouts was good. We also go the Filet Mignon, and it was under cooked, we asked for medium well and it was cooked medium rare. Then we get to the NY Strip, the strip was probably the best tasting out of the 3 in my opinion. The menu wasn't huge but still had some diverse options depending on what you're looking for. Overall, still a good place for an intimate night out considering their large cocktail/drink options. I'd go back but I'd definitely order a few different things next time. read more

I've been meaning to get back to Burtons since the Yelp event, and the chance for a proper date night finally appeared. We arrived to a very busy dining room, just ahead of the Friday evening rush. After a short wait while the host checked on tables, we were shown to a comfortable booth. Our waitress was lovely and took excellent care of us, including a clear explanation of their allergy procedures. We're not gluten free, but it was reassuring to see that level of attention. We started with the bread service, which was a great choice. A warm pull‑apart roll with olive oil, butter and tapenade made for a simple, satisfying appetizer before the main courses arrived. Mrs. K chose the crabcake sandwich, a generous crabcake on a brioche bun with truffle fries. I'm not convinced the truffle fries were worth the upgrade since most of the topping had fallen off, and my regular fries were excellent. Your mileage may vary. I went with the Maxx Burger, cooked exactly medium rare as requested. A tall, indulgent stack with a big patty, all the trimmings and fried onion strings. Absolutely delicious, a little drippy and completely satisfying. Even though we were both full, dessert still happened. A slice of chocolate cake, boxed to go, packed neatly in a container that fit perfectly with the chocolate and raspberry sauces in small pots. A thoughtful finish. Cindy took wonderful care of us throughout the evening, and the whole experience made for a terrific date night. Burtons is definitely joining our regular rotation.

It was my birthday on Wednesday and got this recommendation from TikTok. The music was soo good. Not too loud and not too low. Multiple martini options with delicious flavors. General Tso cauliflower appetizer was one of the best vegetarian menu items offered. Short ribbed grilled cheese was delicious. It was like the adult version of what is considered a kids meal. Veggie burger was good. Kids menu offered a decent amount of options. Chicken and mushroom ravioli was good. Bread service. Yum. Yum. Yum. Calamari was well seasoned. Slightly spicy. Shaleen was a good waitress. Patient and attentive. read more

This was my second time dining here, my first was for brunch. From start to finish, the service both times was amazing. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu regardless of which staff you ask. Our appetizer was the general tso cauliflower and Philly cheesesteak spring rolls. The cauliflower is amazing! The spring rolls were ok but I'm not sure I'd order again. I had the crab crusted haddock as my entree and opted for the sautéed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes as my sides. Both were amazing. As for the atmosphere it's very well decorated, warm lighting and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations highly recommended. read more

On our 2nd day in Charlotte, I found this place with tons of gluten-free options. There was so much to choose from the gluten-free menu, but we were so amazed by their selection. Here are a few things we got: *Bread Service - shareable gf focaccia served with pesto, herb & garlic butter, olive tapenade. Their sauces were good, but the bread was a bit hard and cold. If it was warm up, it would be easier to spread. Ribeye - 14oz. 28-day aged ribeye, bone marrow butter, seasonal vegetable, garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious cut with their bone marrow butter. *Mediterranean Chicken Risotto -- artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, spinach, feta, lemon butter sauce, pesto. * Seven-layer chocolate cake -- chocolate frosting, hot fudge, Maldon sea salt, raspberry coulis. Freaking ass delicious and it's gluten-free. Restaurant location: Burton's Grill & Bar 1601 E Woodlawn Rd, Charlotte, NC 28209 Must-try menu items: Gluten free 7 layer chocolate cake Portion sizes: Decent size Menu highlights: So Much Gluten free options for dinner and brunch read more

We just came from a Father's Day meal and had one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was great-very attentive, friendly, and asked about allergies (my Dad has severe shellfish allergy). We started with the Calamari that came with peppers, fried perfectly, and was very light. They have a lot of really good vegetarian options and my Mom had the roasted vegetable bowl. It was a nice size portion and looked and smelled delicious. My Dad had the chicken Milanese Alfredo and loved it. I opted for the steak frites with chimmichurri and it may be one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked medium rare, which some restaurants struggle with but Burton's got it right. It came with a side of parmesan truffle fries, and the chimmichurri was full of garlic and herbs. We didn't have room for dessert but will come back for the recommended key lime pie. 5 stars all the way around! read more

I only ordered the general tso bowl so my review is based off one item, but it was SO good!! It was spicy, but delicious! My friend ordered the sauces on the side as she has had it before and wanted to control how much she put on due to the spice level, but it wasn't too much for me. Super flavorful. The restaurant was busy and had a lot of other items on the menu I would try in the future. The parking lot was super busy and hard to find a spot but the food and restaurant itself were great. read more

Been meaning to try this restaurant glad I finally did. We sat on the heated patio. It is warm if you are seated close to a heater which there are four. Do NOT sit at the table near the exit if you're looking for warmth. Even though the door is not opening that often, it's drafty. Food is delicious. We had the crab crusted haddock and the salmon. Just heavenly. Service was ok but could be better. The heat situation was a real issue. Overall good food. read more

I remember having some mixed feelings on our very first visit here years ago... Anyway, we finally decided to return again...and this time, thanks to our Open Table reservation, we got seated right away...and indoors, in a choice area. Just like the first time here, I felt that the ambiance here was a bit drab...but I liked the menu much more. Seemed they added more items since I first visited. We were very happy to see that they had Fried Calamari...so started with that. For our entree, my husband ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli, and I ordered the Chicken Milanese Alfredo. We also got a side of Broccoli. Well, all I can say is that I'm now a fan. I really liked their Crispy Calamari. Bit smaller in cut than most, but I liked the batter and the mix of veggies. I was also impressed with my entree, Chicken Milanese Alfredo. It was such a generous portion, I couldn't eat all...but thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also nicely presented. I enjoyed the Broccoli too...very fresh, though it was quite basic. My husband seemed to like the foods as well. In fact, we both thought that the foods here were better than what we had at Firebirds or 131 Main, the two restaurants that we always felt were similar to Burton's (American food). I could be wrong, but I felt that Burton's was a tad more sophisticated, with a more fusion mix. Also, I thought the foods are presented much better here...always a bonus! For drinks, my husband got some beer (??), and I went with this Desert Flower cocktail...and it was so tasty and strong! In any case, so glad we returned...though much later than sooner. read more

Not the most interesting burger I've had, but good enough. Candied bacon and an egg isn't much new, and the meat itself was a bit bland. The fries were alright as well. However, this place has the most detailed waitstaff I've come across, bringing the rating up to where it is. They were careful to ask about allergies instead of relying on me to tell them, and they made sure to confirm the dish when it got to me. I'll definitely come back to try something different in the future. read more

I was in the mood for something wholesome, but didn't want a cold salad. When I read the description of Burton's Harvest Bowl, I knew I found what I was looking for. The bowl was filled with delicious fall vegetables - butternut squash, roasted brussel sprouts, beets - and topped with creamy goat cheese. I had mine over kale salad instead of rice for some extra goodness. Ate it with a boiled egg at home for the perfect healthy fall meal. read more

Very impressed with this restaurant. Many bar and grill places that I have been to, look more like an outdated hole in the wall. But Burtons is a higher tier restaurant and I love them for it. The restaurant is huge and there's even outside dining. The decor is very nice and gives a relaxing vibe. Service was phenomenal. Definitely would come back Old fashioned- delicious Chicken and waffles- the waffle is amazing.. wow I would order the waffles alone. I should've check to see if they offer just waffles, they were that good. The chicken was seasoned good, but I wish they used a whole breast or chicken thigh and not chicken tenders. This entree comes with hash browns and a side of sausage gravy and maple syrup. read more

Great service. We love sitting at the bar. The bartenders are the best. Efficient, responsive and friendly. The food is delicious.

Brought my family here to celebrate my adult son's birthday. We were a party of four. Everyone had something different. I ordered the Ahi tuna salad. My wife had calamari and a Caesar salad. I told the waitress that it was my son's birthday. Honestly, the prices seemed high for what you get. When my Ahi tuna salad showed up, I was kind of surprised that it just had four tiny pieces of Ahi Tuna that looked like they were squashed and run over by a truck. I couldn't tell if the tuna was cooked or not because it was lukewarm and I tried to figure out if it was supposed to be hot or cold? It was just meh. My wife's Caesar salad was drenched in dressing. As a result, she didn't eat it all. They didn't bring a little dessert or anything for my son, and didn't even acknowledge that it was his birthday, despite the fact that we had told them. I didn't expect anything, but this was on the very low end of what a restaurant like this would generally do, and seemed pretty greedy. The price tag with tip came to about $177, not cheap, and pretty expensive for what we got that evening. At the end of the night when it was time to pay, the waitress handed me one of those heavy, clunky POS systems that has been handled by thousands of other people since it was cleaned. She then had to hover over me while I chose a tip level for her. Of course the system had all of the tips calculated on the post tax number. Obviously, it makes no sense to pay tips on tax. So I had to awkwardly ask her to see the bill once again, so I could calculate her tip. The whole experience was pretty mediocre for the cost. There are far better options in Charlotte to celebrate a valued family member's birthday than this one. read more

I was really impressed with the service at Burton's and the food was delicious! Our server started by explaining that they take food allergies very seriously & asked if any of our party had dietary restrictions. Their menu is clearly noted with what options are gluten-free or can be made as a GF version. The brunch menu had great variety & our food was fresh. They're a scratch kitchen, and you could tell they use quality ingredients. I definitely recommend giving Burton's a try! read more

Burtons Bar & Grill has been on my list for a while. I have heard nothing but great things, especially about their top-notch service and attentiveness to allergies and dietary restrictions. After finally making my way over to the Park Road Shopping Center location, I can see why people speak so highly of it. From the moment I sat down, my waitress, Sadie, made the experience even better. She was friendly, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to answer my questions and made great recommendations, which only reinforced what I had heard about the restaurant's excellent service. Their menu covers all the bases with classic American appetizers, burgers, soups, salads, grain bowls, handhelds, steaks, seafood, and pastas. Whether you are craving something casual or a more elevated entrée, Burtons seems to have something for everyone. Two dishes that immediately caught my attention were the lobster roll and the jumbo lump crab cake. Sadie mentioned the crab cake has minimal filler, just enough to hold it together. With so many tempting options, I already know I will be back soon. For this visit, I wanted something lighter and ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad, swapping the chicken for grilled shrimp. The salad was made with romaine lettuce, BBQ glaze, black beans, bacon, corn, cheddar cheese, tortilla strips, and a house-made BBQ ranch dressing. Since I am not a fan of grape tomatoes or raw red onions, I asked for them to be left out. The portion was generous, and I could not finish it all. The shrimp were perfectly grilled, the toppings were plentiful, and the romaine was fresh and crisp. If you prefer a lighter touch with dressing, I suggest asking for it on the side. There was quite a bit tossed in, which some may find overwhelming. I also have to mention the sweet tea. It struck a nice balance, not overwhelmingly sugary like candy but sweet enough to meet Southern standards. Burtons made a solid first impression, and I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

The first time I dined here, it was decent. The second time, it was just okay. I love the decor and atmosphere. I also like that you don't need a reservation to dine, and it's not overly crowded. From my initial visit, the margarita was pretty good. The short rib grilled cheese on ciabatta was okay. It had a hint of flavor, but that is something that has to be served hot so the cheese doesn't dry up. The firecracker shrimp were good.  From my most recent visit, the latte was what I enjoyed the most. The buffalo chicken dip was pretty tasty and had a hot sauce kick. I ordered the chicken and waffles. It was not good. The chicken was extremely bland, the waffle was cold and had a chalky taste, and I have had better sausage gravy in the school system. It came straight from a pack, and they probably just added water.  Again, we were in the area and appreciated being able to dine without a crowd or wait; however, I can understand why those are the circumstances. read more
