    I knew this was going to be a great place to eat not only because my cousin recommended it, but because of the flow of people in and out of the place. Take out containers were abundant and diners happily cycled through the restaurant. The food was so good I inhaled it before I could think to take a pic. I ordered the fried flounder breakfast which came with eggs, home fries and a biscuit. All a much needed Southern welcome after my red eye flight from NYC. Wish I had room for the grits. The staff was amazing, friendly and attentive. Grateful the sweet tea kept flowing. Thanks for the to go cup! Can't wait to eat here again!

    Collards, broccoli casserole (get this!) and Mac n cheese
    Cory W.

    Love it here. The service is friendly and familiar and the food is simple southern food done right at a good price. Don't miss the broccoli casserole on Wednesdays, limas on Thursdays or the Mac n cheese. The bbq is one of my go tos but the chicken and dumplings surprised me with how similar it was to the way my nana made hers. Just a bit of salt and a ton of pepper and the only thing missing was one of my nana buttery biscuits. Yumm

    Fried chicken, gravyless mashed potatoes and collard greens
    Keela D.

    The chicken was tender, moist, and the skin was crispy. It was not greasy, which is a plus. The greens were good. Needed a pinch of salt, and a splash of  vinegar. The mashed potatoes and gravy was missing the gravy. ‍ The mashed potatoes were basic. The rolls, I did not eat them because I saw the guy picking up rolls up, without wearing gloves, and placing them in the Togo orders.  They have a decent size menu. I would probably give them another.  #chicken #friedfood  #goodeats  #instafood #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood  #cltfoodies #gratuityadded #fyp #foodiesofinstagram #eatlocal #circleg #homestyle #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottenc #charlotte  #clteats #clt #queencity  #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt

    Came in on a Saturday morning . They were serving breakfast all day. Order a veggie omelette and my friend got the spanish omelette other was really good. Place gets packed and gets very busy

    Here again because we enjoyed it so much when we were in town the last time. Food was on point and our server was great. Pork chops were good and the sweet tea was delicious. Can't wait to come back the next time we visit family.

    Food is ok. The strawberry banana pudding is off the charts !! Service is decent. Ambiance is laidback and casual. It's a local, neighborhood spot.

    Hot Roast Beef Sub which the meat looks old and the cheese not melted!!!
    Steven R.

    I was looking for a breakfast place but got here to late. I ordered a hot roast beef sandwich which I was not impressed with at all. The roast beef looked old and the sandwich was still half cold and the cheese not even melted. Why offer a hot sandwich when the cook does not care about the food. The waitress was nice but I don't like getting the check when you drop off my food.

    Salmon Patty, eggs, potatoes
    Demetria M.

    Still on my quest to find salmon patties in this city, and somehow came across Circle G while heading to Stockyard(which is closed on Saturdays). The parking lot was packed so that was my sign to check the menu and wouldn't you know they have salmon patties! I called my order in for salmon patty, eggs, and homefries with toast. I was able to find parking on the side of the building toward the back while I waited in the car a bit for the order and once I went in there was another long wait as there seemed to be some chaos with sorting the to go orders. The food was good overall but the homefries were too soft and mushy for me but the salmon patty was not bad at all but that long wait may keep me away on Saturdays.

    I had a Spanish omelet which was really good. It's a 3 egg omelet which means it is big. The salsa is in the middle and not on top. I liked it a lot. The waitress was able to get me Tabasco sauce which made me happy. The black coffee was average. The rye toast was okay. Wasn't Jewish rye but it was buttered. I requested sliced tomatoes instead of grits or hashbrowns and they did that at no charge. That's a plus. I had a side of livermush. It was $3.50 for one piece of livermush. Other places serve 2 pieces for less than $2. I deducted one star on this review for this reason. Overall, I would go back. Very good food and service.

    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.

    I've heard rave reviews about this place so Michelle & I went for Sunday Brunch…read more They recommended a reservation so we had one @ 12n. It was already quite busy when we arrived and it's not clear where your parking options are. People are pulling up to the entrance and dropping people off so it gets jammed up and chaotic, of course people are running late so those BIG Yukons and Suburbans are making it a challenge to navigate a small entrance area. You would THINK they would at least have a Valet option of Sat/Sun during Brunch. To park, go BEHIND the restaurant on the street to the left and you'll see some free parking options that are close and walkable. We asked for a table on the patio and were immediately seated. The bar was already buzzing with solo diners enjoying their Mimosas. The patio is NOT that big, a little over crowded and table are very close with not much space in between. There was a LARGE group of 'FUN' ladies right beside us enjoying their MIMOSAS, dropping the 'F' bomb from time to time and making a LOT of noise. What can you do? Nothing but try to make the best of it and just start talking LOUDER like everyone else. The OVERHEAD heaters were way too intense so the Staff was very responsive at our request to turn down the heat. We shared the BBQ Shrimp Starter which was SO good, I highly recommend. I had the Gumbo and Michelle had the beet and goat cheese salad. We both had the Red Fish which comes with smashed potatoes and broccoli. The potatoes were so BLAND, the broccoli had NO seasoning. The Red Fish wasn't that great of a flavor and not very tender, not easy to cut, had to use my knife at times to get a bite. Kinda disappointed, I lived in N Orleans for a couple of years and it was always so good there. The biggest disappointment was the Gumbo. It had all the right ingredients but the ROUX was to strong, dark and heavy. It actually gave me indigestion afterwards. The service was OUTSTANDING. Our Server was Daylean, she was so nice and helpful with the menu and kept our refills coming.

How it works: Follow @so_science on Instagram, and they'll post the week's menu over the weekend. The themes vary every week, so keep an eye on it! 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!
