    Honey Butter Croissants
    Christina C.

    The waiter was excellent ! He made the entire time there great . Despite some of the reviews we decided to try while on vacation for spring break . All of the was good . From apps, drinks and dinners . We went on Easter . Busy but still got a table within 10mins . When in town we would go again . It was as casual but because of holiday ppl were dressed in their best . The large fish tank made the kids night !

    I'm at Cheddar's celebrating Liz's 53rd birthday! She is the best person anyone could know! Happy birthday Liz!

    I don't know what to think now! Because of what happened during my first visit to this place, their customer service gave me a gift card to try them again! Today I walked in to place a to-go order! I arrived at 3:45 p.m. I had to wait for a shift change before my order was placed! It's now 4:20 p.m., and I'm waiting for my order! I think I'm done with this place! I'm sorry, I walked in with open expectations and because of the long wait just to place my togo order, I know I'm done! Thank you for the gift card! #cheddars #iwishyouthebest

    After leaving the airport today. I thought I'd stop in and get something really good to eat. I love the food, decor, music and folks here! Great service! Spoke with Manager Won and Waitress Bree made the dining experience wonderful. Will be returning for sure.

    I decided to stop by cheddars, it's been so long since I've been to any location. The ambiance was great! Service was good as well. I decided to sit at the bar and grab a drink and an appetizer. (I will say it was very, very chilly inside the restaurant and that's the only complaint I have. ) So I grabbed a strawberry daiquiri and Santa Fe spinach dip. They both were amazing and I also decided to try the honey butter croissants and they were delicious. I will definitely be back because the prices are great and the food is good.

    Visiting Saturday afternoon around 3, several large parties waiting to be seated. Thankfully my daughter did something on the phone and our table was ready in less than 5 minutes. Service remained just as quick throughout our visit, thanks to our waiter Kaleb. This is a very loud restaurant. I am sensitive to sound and the close proximity of tables and booths makes it very hard to hear your conversation. Needless to say this and the cleanliness of the restaurant are the only reason I'm not going 5. The food was good. I ordered meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and broccoli casserole. Everything was delicious. I wish the portions of the sides were larger. I almost ordered another order of sides to complete my meatloaf. I do love the fact their meatloaf isn't soaked down in ketchup. A gravy meatloaf is hard to find. My daughter ordered the sirloin and tenders. The steak was seasoned well and tender. The chicken tenders were juicy and meaty. My 6 yo grandson finished the kids penne pasta with Alfredo and that's my review on that. Our waiter was amazing. Really enjoyed spending my afternoon there with family. Definitely will return!

    Good food, reasonable prices and great service is what we experienced on a first visit to Cheddars. The interior was nice and clean. The server brought over complementary honey butter croissants to try, YUM!. I was originally hesitant about going given the low ratings, but I will always try something at least once and I am glad I did. This is a great value place with quality food. I thoroughly enjoyed a steak (6oz) and half Slab combo which was very reasonably priced. They nailed the steak temperature, hats off!!!! We are Definitely going back. Keep up the good work!!

    My first time in Charlotte NC while I make my way down to SC. Never heard of this place. Gave it a shot. Great decor and great, friendly staff. Walked right in. Happy Hour All day prices on a few drinks and Bud Light. They advertise chicken tenders as a popular dish so of course I ordered it. The tendies overall were slightly better than Canes and the ranch dressing was to die for. The Hot Honey was not good as it had a maple syrup flavor to it. The French fries was where they went wrong. A few people I was with agreed. Barely warm, no seasoning, not crispy. My meal was called Key West Chicken and Shrimp. Should have made a different selection. Wry small Piece of chicken and 3 slightly overcooked shrimp on top of a bed of rice with pineapple and some hideous teriyaki type sauce. The best part of the restaurant was the prices. Very cheap as 4 meals and a few beverages cost $70. Not a bad price. Of my party of 4, 2 people were satisfied and 2 were not. Overall a 6.8 overall out of 10.

    Server was nice and there wasn't a wait for seating at all. We ordered an appetizer and drink while waiting on our entree's. Cheese bites came out warm and they were delicious. It was a lil wait on our other items but not long enough that it was a problem. My chicken wraps were room temperature, like maybe it was sitting out while waiting on the other food.

    Dry, too spicy Key West Chicken.

    Ordered our 'favorite' Key West Chicken and shrimp. This was a take out order. We have gottwnnthis no less than 25 tomes since they opened. The chicken was waaay too spicy and over cooked. The shrimp were also overcooked. A bit disappointed.

    Feeling nostalgia on a Sunday I decided to reminisce on the old CIAA days and just old faithfuls like Chedsar's. A gem back in the day when life was carefree. I gave this Cheddar's location a tryout again (over a decade later). I used to frequent this location in the early 2000s. I fell for Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen for its consistency and quality. I'm grateful to learn that the experience is still on point here for the most part. The restaurant was nice and clean. There was no one to be found at the Host station. Very busy day, so this was to be expected. I sat myself at the bar. My bartender/server Crystal was amazing. Very kind, welcoming, and attentive. Crystal had tables and the bar to tend to and she didn't miss a beat. Always upbeat, pleasant, and worked well with everyone never sacrificing great customer service. The rolls were as I remember. Buttery soft and delicious. The New Orleans pasta was decent. Flavorful and meaty. My only suggestion is to cook the pasta less. I prefer my pasta al dente and the penne was cooked a bit too long. The temperature of my food on arrival to me was perfect. The kitchen has mastered this. Piping hot and blowable food is a YES for me every time. My classic mule was very good and refreshing. The right amount of ice and I enjoy the mint.

    You can't go wrong with cheddars. The food and service is going to be consistent every visit. We love their buttered croissants. I always get the same thing salmon, broccoli and cheese casserole and corn! The kids love looking at their huge fish tank! The inside is filled with real plants...I wonder who takes care of them lol

    First time here. Service Niyah was my server and she was very attentive. Made sure I had everything. I got the ribs & shrimp .

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.

It has a cozy indoor dining area and a cute side patio, right in the heart of NoDa. We made a reservation online for four people, which was easy and definitely recommended since reservations can be limited. They do accept walk-ins when space is available. Haberdish is known for its fried chicken, and our table tried several different options. I ordered the dark meat chicken, one friend got the two-piece white meat, another got the Nashville hot chicken, and another ordered the Haberdish Stack. Everything was delicious. For starters and sides, we shared the deviled eggs, mac and cheese with crispy chicken skin, Brussels sprouts, hush puppies, and a cinnamon roll. The Brussels sprouts were fantastic, and the hush puppies were the standout for me. They came with a sweet butter that was absolutely incredible. We also enjoyed mimosas with brunch. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it's definitely a place I'll be returning to. Next time I want to check out the dinner menu because brunch was so good.

The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, featuring a great patio, a nice bar area, and an indoor dining space with a simple yet charming design. I love that it's elevated with fun silverware and plates that look just like the vintage ones you'd find at your grandparents' house! While they are widely known for their fried chicken--and both the chicken and the chicken tenders are admittedly delicious--my absolute favorite thing on the menu is actually the fried cauliflower steak. It is served with an incredible red wine jus and mushrooms, and it is a total standout. If you are looking for recommendations, here is a quick breakdown of what to try: Go-To Sides: You can't go wrong with the Brussels sprouts, mac n cheese, or the tater tots. The Cocktails: They offer really fun punch bowl cocktails that range in size for small or large groups, complete with a cool tableside punch bowl service. If you are ordering individual drinks, a friend tried the Kitten Death Metal and it was quite good, even if it wasn't my personal flavor palette. (I also tried the ginger pomegranate sangria; it was decent, but I probably wouldn't order that specific one again).

They even still have the 120 year old pews! If you ask your server, you are likely to hear the entire story of the place. It's pretty amazing. They recently received a Michelin recommendation and it's totally deserved. It's a buffet, but most of the hot food is actually served by a person which is something that I particularly appreciate. (I really don't like touching the handles of spoons that hundreds of people have touched.) Some of the stuff is self serve but not any of the hot dishes. Absolutely everything I tried was outstanding. Like everything. There are a few things that they consider "pass around" which means that they are brought over to you by a server at random intervals. For everything else, you just help yourself. I went with a friend of mine who has a deep appreciation for a southern food. He was absolutely amazed. Honestly, I can't think of a better place to have chosen to eat in a short time I had in Charlotte. I've attached a picture of the menu. I tried just about everything. I wasn't disappointed in a single thing, and I was completely wowed by many of them. The servers were wonderful. Very friendly and very willing to talk to us about the history and the food items that were there. Highest recommendation!

You have until midnight on Tuesday to email them with your order. On Wednesday morning, you get an email with payment and pick-up details, and then you swing by the back of the church between 4 and 7 PM on Wednesday to pick up your goods! Pretty easy process, especially if you live close by. So far we've gotten dishes from their BBQ menu (brisket, bbq beans, cheese and mac) and their Greek menu (moussaka with side Greek salad, gyro with fries). Everything is restaurant quality. Let me rephrase: everything is excellent restaurant quality! Like what I would expect if I went to a BBQ joint or Greek spot that specialize in that type of cuisine. Pretty incredible. We originally found out about HA's from a neighbor, and I added this business page to Yelp to be able to share my photos and experiences to help spread the word about this awesome local spot!
