My goddaughter and I visited for the first time and had an amazing dining experience! Our waiter, Martin, was absolutely the best. He was attentive, fun, and made sure we received first-class service from start to finish. The food was delicious, and the restaurant had such a fun, festive atmosphere. We also enjoyed chatting with the other guests around us. Since it was everyone's first visit, we all admired each other's meals and shared in the excitement of trying something new. It was a wonderful experience, and we can't wait to come back! read more

My family and I checked out Delux Fun in Charlotte, and it was a mixed experience. The food itself was actually quite good we had the Bag of Bones sharing platter with lobster tail, bacon-wrapped asparagus, shrimp, glazed wings, fries, and corn, plus a fresh salad plate with grilled veggies, mini peppers, and oyster Everything was well-seasoned and beautifully presented, but portions/prices was over priced for what you get. Where things fell short was the bar they were understaffed, so much so that the manager had to step in and make our drinks herself. As a result, our drinks didn't arrive until after our food was already served, which threw off the whole flow of the meal. Food quality was solid and the presentation was great, but the service hiccups and pricing knocked it down for me. I would come back it was a one a done for me. read more

It's been a while since my (pretty horrific) experience a few years ago. My teen wanted to try it, so we went during Spring Break, and everything was five-star, especially our waitress. She made the whole experience genuinely unforgettable. Fast forward to May 2026: I took my teen and his identical twin friends back for the twins' birthday and we decided to go for brunch. I'll never do that again. Our reservations noted the twins' birthday, but the waiter didn't acknowledge it, and after I mentioned it, he still kept forgetting. He made so many mistakes that I stopped trying to track them. He did, however, push hard, more like beg, for us to order the buffet. We told him we'd already chosen entrées because the presentation of the food mattered most to us, and that's not really something you get with a buffet. He promised we'd still get that presentation with all of our drinks. The drinks arrived about 20 minutes later, with none of the smoke, hoopla, or anything special...he told us he forgot. We also asked to view the buffet before ordering. We explained that most stations were empty, so we weren't interested. He assured us everything would be replenished. It was replenished... eventually. After waiting about 30 extra minutes and asking multiple times. The refills came out at a snail's pace, and the empty bins stayed empty far too long. We were also seated upstairs near the windows. A waitress spilled some of a drink on the small stair area near our seats and continued walking without picking it up. By the time we left an hour later, no one had cleaned it up, and multiple staff members walked right past it. A five-star experience followed by another one-star experience has to be enough to finally put the place on pause. Spending several hundred dollars each visit is just not worth it when the experience is this hit-or-miss. And they didn't even bring out two cupcakes for the identical twins birthday. The twins had to split one. Seriously? Come on!!! read more

This restaurant never misses! I always enjoy my experience at Deluxe. The way I enjoyed my lobster and red velvet waffle was truly indescribable--my lobster was cooked to perfection, and the waffle was absolutely delightful. I hadn't been in over a year, which I'm sure made the experience even better. The ambiance was great overall. It was a little chilly since we were seated near the door, but the manager, Sebastian, made sure we were quickly reseated and comfortable, which we appreciated. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and the 90s R&B and Afrobeats playlist definitely added to the vibe. An all-around great experience! read more

Jason took great care or me. I sometimes dine alone and feel a little shy, but he made me feel welcomed. Come on Wednesday night the saxophonist is a beast. I'm grateful for days like this. read more

Ok, first off the website and videos do not represent the atmosphere of what "could" be a fun restaurant. The buffet was just plain nasty - old, tired, dried up food. Terrible, terrible, experience and a complete embarrassment to the family and friends we brought with us! Still have not received the $52 reservation fee that was promised back to our credit card. Save your money, appetite, and later bathroom experience - trust me, do not even think about going to this place. Yuck. read more

Yes, food presentation can be fun! We can were for a birthday dinner and it was truly special. Right from drinks presentation, to popcorn shrimps, to puffs, and our entrees. We loved how our food tasted and the service. Drinks were well made too. A bit too expensive though. read more

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant as a recommendation because we were out of towners celebrating a birthday. Pros: The aesthetics of the environment were nice including the live saxophonist which added a wonderful touch. The customer service was great, I forgot the name of our server but she was extremely sweet, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. Also, the presentation of the drinks and food were fun and instagram worthy! Cons: Though provided with large portions, the quality of the food was lacking. The chicken wings tasted like frozen wings, the lamb lacked seasoning and there wasn't much to them. The fried lobster was also underwhelming. The drink prices were a bit pricey for the amount of alcohol in them. Overall, this restaurant has potential, I just think that the quality of food could be improved. read more

We went for the brunch buffet on Saturday as an early Mother's Day gift, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Honestly, you could get a better meal at Golden Corral -- and that's no shade to them. The food was lukewarm, the grits had that hard layer across the top like they'd been sitting out forever, and the mac & cheese and salmon casserole had absolutely no flavor. We were so excited about the red velvet waffles, only for them to be cold... along with the syrup. If you're looking to pay for decor instead of quality food, this is definitely the place. As for me, I wouldn't return even if the meal was free. read more

I've been to Deluxe Fun Dining multiple times for dinner, but this was my first time pulling up for brunch l and it did not disappoint. The music set the perfect vibe from the moment I walked in, and the service was on point the entire time. The food was just as good as I expected. The oysters are always my go-to here, whether it's brunch or dinner . they're fresh,m and flavorful, I tried a few new dishes this time read more

If good food, great drinks, and a fun vibe had a meeting, it would be called Deluxe Fun Dining. From the moment you walk in, the energy is playful and stylish -- warm lighting, cute décor, and music that sets the mood without overpowering conversation. The food was beautifully plated and full of flavor, and the drinks were generous, smooth, and crafted with intention. Nothing felt rushed, and everything arrived right on time to enjoy the moment. Huge shoutout to our server Lilly, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was handled effortlessly. What really made the night special was the atmosphere -- laughter in the room, people celebrating, music humming, and a vibe that makes you want to relax, dance a little in your seat, and stay awhile. We laughed, we danced, we ate well, and we left happy. Deluxe Fun Dining is more than a restaurant -- it's an experience. Perfect for celebrations, date nights, or anytime you want your night out to feel a little extra. I'll definitely be back. read more

Last night, 7/11/26 a grouo of us celebrate the birthday of an amazing friend. We had an amazing time - Jose our server 100/10 - he was extremelt attentive to us and the birthday girl as well as a Manager (forgot his name) who really made us feek welcome. Everything from the vibe, the music, the drinka (Smoked Old Fashion 10/10) the kindness of the other patrons was top tier.The food was ok - oysters 5/5, crab dip 5/5, and the popcorn shrinp 5/5. However, I was unsatisfied with my main dish the Salmon Supreme meal - it has absolutely no seasoning or flavor on it. My friend had the lobster and shrimp pasta and when I looked at her face, she had this look of disappointment because the presentation was amazing. I would strongly encourage the chef's to re-evaluate the menu and how they season the food. Both dishes got a 0/10 for us and we just packed them up and left shortly after. I was a patron before and the main dishes were the reason I never came back. For the price, I expected more and again was very disppointed. read more

I'll keep this simple. Food was good, service was good, space good, drinks and presentation were fun. Now for the however. There was a 20% service fee included in the bill of $330 which I'm good with and we added an additional $15 because the service was solid. We got sideways looks and huffs insinuating we didn't tip enough. I think there was an implied expectation of an additional 20% strictly for the server. I would love to go back but won't based on the expectations. Know before you go. read more

First time I have returned since my visit in 2021. This is definitely a place to take someone to impress ! There were 10 of us and one guy was celebrating his birthday. They gave him a crown and a smoking septre. Each of our items were served with ridiculously outrageous presentation. I tried the crab dip with pita bread and it was delicious! I also tried a bite of the steak bites and they were pretty good. For an entree, I got the lamb chops. They were tender and had a cilantro cream sauce and slices of pickled red onion. My cocktail was witches brew ($20) and it was absolutely fabulous! My husband also got a raspberry bourbon cocktail that was also very good. ($18) For dessert, I got the chocolate mousse cake with side of hot cocoa sauce and fruit. The chocolate sauce was amazing and reminded me of one of those chocolate lava cakes. Tip of 20% is automatically added to groups. There is a note on the menu that they WILL NOT SEPARATE CHECKS FOR 12 PEOPLE OR MORE. So be aware of that if you go with a group. The bill for my husband and I for 2 cocktails, 2 lamb chop entrees, and one chocolate dessert including tip was $195. Parking at the lot across the street is expensive ($14.) One guy parked in a garage and walked farther for $10. They redecorated since the last time I was there and it is much more colorful and fun ! Did they change the name too ? Because I thought it was Delux Fine Dining. Now it is Delux Fun Dining. Anyway, I'll be back in a few years due to the cost of parking and the cost of the items here. Lol read more

Came here on a weekend despite the reviews on Instagram it was quite empty. The place was clean and well organize the had several awards on the wall from 2020 to 2023. They were no current awards. Paid for parking upon entering was greeted and had a reservation. We were seated and waited for a very long time. No one came to the table not even even bring water. So we left the table because I was so hungry and went to the bar area as it was empty. I grabbed some food from the bartender. I enjoyed the lychee mimosa the popcorn shrimp. The shrimp and grits, lacked vegetables and real flavor and only had four shrimp. I quite enjoyed the Godiva brownie. The food came around a good time. The temperatures and textures were good. The service is where they lost everything. When checking out they wanted to charge me for two meals made the correction. Hope they get organized so much potential. read more

So let me start by saying that whoever is making videos of this place has been doing an amazing job promoting this restaurant. I saw this restaurant first on a video that someone posted on Instagram. It looked fun and exciting and we had some friends that we wanted to bring with us and have an outing together at a cool fun place. The menu is a little tricky. They promote a $45 brunch that gives you one starter, one main course, and one desert, but there are only a few items on the menu that match the $45 fee. As you look over the menu, the items on the menu have a "+$x" where "x" is a dollar amount to add to the brunch fee. For example. The burger was additional $24 so you pay $69 for the burger. The chicken wings are additional as well. So there are only a few items in the main course that are "included" in the $45 brunch fee. The representation of the food is really creative. I've never seen food displayed this way. So it was quite an experience and made that part of the brunch very fun. Popcorn shrimp brought out in a popcorn maker machine was one of those. The food, however just wasn't making the grade. And there was a mistake where the table beside me ordered the 24k gold chicken wings and I did as well and the kitchen brought their plate to me. After they sat it down, the lady beside me said "I think that is my plate" and I said "you can have it, I didn't touch anything and all I did was take a picture". But she insisted on not taking it. That made it weird for both of our parties. She was the only one at her table without food and I was the only one WITH food. The staff really screwed that up and for what you pay for this experience and the food, that was a big issue. The chicken wings were dry and not very meaty at all. More bone than meat and just not something I'd ever try again. I regretted not getting something else. The burger had lobster on it and we shared the lobster with others at the table and it just wasn't up to par with a $69 burger with lobster on it. You have a choice of ordering water only and it was warm to barely chilled, which added to the dryness of my chicken. There were 5 of us. My daughter had a $12 Caesar salad. I had the 24k chicken wings, there was a child with us that had the chicken nuggets, and the two others in our party at the shrimp & grits and the burger. When the bill came it was $292+ and I realized there was a $45 surcharge on the bill (tip is included by them). That's sad because I give a HUGE tip for good service and less if it's not up to speed. But enforcing a tip on ALL sales is really odd. I can see this for big parties. But not a group of 5. We took the desert home. It was a brownie for all of us. The brownie was not fancy restaurant style brownie. It tasted like something you'd buy at the grocery store. I'm not trying to be this critical. The food just simply didn't match a $292 meal for 5 (when one was a kids meal and one was a salad only). That's pricey for such low quality. Another interesting thing that turned weird was that during the start, a guy comes up with an SLR camera and says "can I take your picture?" By the time the meal came out, he walked up and showed us a very fancy frame with our picture in the frame. He said "you can buy this for $25". What? I mean in the 90s this was probably a cool thing. But it's 2025 where people can take a photographer grade photo with their phones now. And surely nobody would want to pay $25 for it. We chose NOT to buy it. But as I was leaving the waiter approached me and said "hey sir, did you want this picture". And I said "no thank you". I would give them 10 out of 5 on presentation and cool ways to display food. I would give them a 2 out of 5 on the food - it just didn't satisfy me. Maybe it was just the dry thin wings. But it just didn't do anything for me. I would give them a 1 out of 5 for how they price their food and how they add a tip to every ticket. I may come back. But I'll have to really think about that before doing it again. read more

Based on how Deluxe Fun Dining is advertised and the pricing I expected an elevated dining experience from the area, ambiance, food and service. However, I feel like only 2 of the 4 were met. The area is downtown Charlotte but on the edge. It looks a little run down compared to the photos. Additionally the inside of the restaurant looks a little DIY when it comes to decor. But the food was absolutely delicious! I thought the salmon Wellington was a unique and flavorful dish! The flakiness of the pastry was just right! I also really enjoyed the seafood pasta. The sauce was super yummy and the chunks of lobster and shrimp were perfect. I'll mention that the lobster stuck to the inside of the shell a bit which made for messy hands. So if you trying to stay cute, maybe choose a different dish lol. The customer service was also good! I'd recommend this spot for a good meal but it's not the swankiest of places. Some parties were dressed up but there were others in t-shirts. read more

We had a great time at Deluxe Fun Dining, sampling both regular menu items and some special offerings for Restaurant Week. The portions are generous, served on large platters that really tie into the fun, thematic atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout the meal. All our entrees arrived at the same time, so no one had to wait. This spot is perfect for a date night, a girls' night out, or a birthday celebration--everything is presented in an exciting, over-the-top style. read more

The ambience was romantic, colorful, and comfortable. Staff were great. The dress code did not fit the ambience or vibe. Also, the food was disappointing. I did not enjoy the small lamb chops, lobster rolls, or salad. I also did not enjoy my drink. By the way, my card was swiped about 6 times before a different staff member decided to swipe it successfully on a different card reader. Really??? Also, parking should have been complimentary. Don't believe the hype. I do not see a return visit in my future. I left, then dined at Eddie V's. read more

***10% off when checking in on Yelp*** Wow a time was had!! This is the kind of place you didn't know you needed, it really was fun dining. Main floor has a bar, drinks were good. I had a lemon drop and my bartender gave me a proper mixology lesson on vodka vs tequila lol. Dined upstairs because it was more spacious and much prettier. Orders the crab legs and what a treat I got (see pic). Huge crab with all sorts of fillers to add a dramatic vibe. Olives, pineapple, grilled shrimp and shrimp cocktail came with it. 10/10!! My waiter was amazing! I wish I could remember names better, but everyone there was really nice. A must try! read more

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere promised a unique experience, and it delivered at every level. The presentation of both the drinks and dishes was on another level, it felt like every item that arrived at the table was a mini performance. The attention to detail was unmatched and made the entire meal feel extra special. The lamb chops? Hands down the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor, I'm still thinking about them. The mashed potatoes were silky, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent. For dessert, we were not disappointed. Rich, beautifully plated, and the perfect ending to the meal. Our server was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed excited for us to enjoy everything. Their recommendations were spot-on and they really helped make the experience feel personalized and fun. This place is also a total photo-op dream! Everywhere you look, there's something Insta-worthy, especially the gold wings wall backdrop, perfect for capturing that "wow" moment. There was even a professional photographer going around taking photos of guests during their experience, and you had the option to buy a printed and framed version at the end. Such a fun and memorable touch. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. Deluxe Fun Dining is exactly that deluxe, fun, and absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend! read more

Entering the establishment the decor and ambiance seemed very intimate. The attentiveness was mediocre.

Amazing doesn't even begin to cover it. Our dining experience was next-level AMAZING. We had the best time at DFD. From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely impeccable. Everyone was genuinely friendly, and the vibe? Fun but chill in the best way. We went with two other couples, but honestly, it would also be perfect for a romantic date night. They were playing '90s and early 2000s music, so I was fully in my element . And the food? A full-on flavor explosion. Think Fourth of July fireworks... but in San Diego. We ordered several dishes, and not a single one missed. Not one. I wasn't expecting every dish to be that good, but here we are. Let's talk about the Bloody Mary because WOW. And the presentation of each dish? Fun, creative, and totally different. It's one of those places you really need to see for yourself. Crazy good. Oh, and they even have a selfie light if you want the perfect pic . They know what's up. Loved everything about this place and I already can't wait to go back. read more

Worst food I've had in at least a decade. Absolutely nothing was fresh. Surprise $55.00 service charge. Manager asked why we didn't eat, so I told him. He took $100 off the $355 bill.

Meh..... tried this place for restaurant week last night and was not super impressed. I ordered cheese puffs and pork chops and a chocolate dessert. The cheese puffs were good and the pork chop was dry. The menu indicated it came with mashed potatoes but I got potatoes au gratin instead. When the waitress delivered my husband's food she dropped the plate of salmon on his lap. No big deal he stained his shirt but that was it. Manager came over and gave him a free drink..... big deal. I think they spend more time on making the food instagram worthy than anything else. We also mentioned we were celebrating my birthday and the waitress said they would make it special..... not sure what the special part was. There was literally zero acknowledgment.

I was there last night. My server (Alyssa) was very good. No problems with that. However, when received my popcorn shrimp it was not fresh. I had to send it back. The food overall was nowhere near as good as previous times. I was very disappointed. I do not even want my leftovers. Also i paid via the In-Kind app. Evidently the staff had not been trained properly on the use of the app. Staff called me after i left and asked me to come back and show my receipt. As i turned around and was heading back, they called back and said "nevermind". Overall bad experience for the money i spent. read more

It was such a fantastic experience and meal!!!!! I was a bit skeptical of this place upon reading some reviews online about food and reservations being canceled, parking, etc. I decided to go ahead and just make a reservation for 2 a month in advanced Even though I kept getting text and email confirmations, I decided to call the restaurant and just double-check that our reservations were still there. We arrived about 5 minutes before our actual reservation time, and we were seated immediately. We were taken to the 2nd floor. Now, this is definitely a pay for the experience type of place. Ordered drinks, and they were brought out on a tray with smoke coming out. Decided to try their Rockefeller oysters, and they were delicious!!!!! The parmesan cheese elevated the oysters to another level and definitely gave it a bit of a kick. The husband and I decided to share the tomahawk surf and turf platter. It comes with a huge piece of steak, broccolini, steamed or fried lobster tail, and fries. It was BEYOND AMAZING! Even though it did take an HOUR for us to receive our food, it was well worth it. The steak was cooked medium well and to perfection. Seasoned right and very juicy! The lobster tail was delicious also. Tasted great. The fries were the best. Just enough crisp to them, very well seasoned and fresh! We were happy with our meal. Everything was spectacular. They brought our meal out on a board with a sparkler! They definitely put on a show. It is a bit pricey but I say a nice treat for a special occasion. As we were leaving, we noticed they had show girls dancing on the first floor, and everybody was hyped up and dancing to the music. We were told they were making their way upstairs, but since we were already heading out, we missed the show. This is located in uptown, so be mindful of parking. We were lucky to snag a side street spot for only $3 as opposed to a parking lot charging $20. We will definitely be returning to try other items for sure. Everyone from the hostess to our server Nick was amazing! Very friendly and efficient. read more
