    Chicken and Dumplings
    Alyssa M.

    Went here finally for the first time after having lived in the city 6 years. Don't know how I made it this long, but I had never had chicken and dumplings! We came for dinner on a Friday and ordered the deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, chicken and dumplings, and country fried steak. It wasn't too busy inside but the outside patio looked great! Service was great and our server was very attentive. We loved everything we got to eat and I can't wait to come back for their chicken and dumplings!!

    Sweet & Sour Meatloaf
    Savannah H.

    My friend was playing a show in Charlotte last Friday night at Petra's Bar. After her set, I went to find some dinner. I looked on Yelp. I found this place called Dish. It looked like southern goodness. I decided to try it out. I walked down the street and found Dish pretty easily. I went inside. It looked empty. I saw a sign that said "See Bartender for Table." There was no one in there. I looked and saw a sign up by the ceiling that said "Bar," so I headed that way. There's a back room with a second bar and tables. The bartender told me to pick a table. I found a booth in the back corner. Perfect for me as I was eating alone and wanted to people watch. I ordered the sweet and sour meatloaf. It was so good. It was sweet but with a kick. I'm very sensitive to spicy food, however I could eat this. It was too good to pass up on. It came with a nice big moist biscuit, a deviled egg, and a side of carrots. So good. I'm so glad I found this place. I don't know if I'll be back because I live in Charleston. I would recommend this place to any southern food lover! Did not disappoint!

    Fried chicken

    What a slept on spot in Plaza Midwood. A menu full of southern staples: fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken &dumplings, country fried steak etc. This un-assuming spot has all you need for a great meal with friends and family, or some late night eats(they offer an all-day breakfast menu and are open until 1:30am!). Affordable prices across the board with a nice selection of beers or mixed drinks. Try the candied bacon and make sure to funk it up!

    I couldn't find anything open in the Nora area late night but dish I was so intrigued by the ambiance of dish i loved it. The food was ok nothing i would go back for in my opinion the potato balls where really good tho super crispy and flavorful i had the chicken antree and it was definitely under seasoned the Mac was okay it was just cold my boyfriend said the chicken sandwich was good ! The server was friendly.

    Fried green tomatoes with horseradish and dill dip. Almost didn't get a picture it was so good.

    We came here with it being on the Tripple D list. Let me tell ya it didn't disappoint even down to the coffee.

    Pot roast, seasonal salad (tomato & basil), fried chicken
    Elizabeth D.

    We hadn't been to Dish since they were reopened under new management and decided to pop by last night for dinner. It was even better than I remembered! Truly the best place in the area to get some classic comfort food dishes. I ordered the pot roast (a little on the salty side but that was perfect with the less salty mashed potatoes), and it came with a biscuit, deviled egg AND a side (I tried the seasonal salad, which was an incredibly fresh little cherry tomato, basil & balsamic masterpiece). So good. My husband got a Higher Ground IPA to drink and had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, which he enjoyed as well. I love that they serve breakfast all day as well - definitely need to keep that in mind! And next time I'm definitely saving room for dessert - everything in the case looked so, so tasty. The staff are really friendly and welcoming too, and the space just feels like you're stepping back in time into a homey country restaurant (with a fun late-night bar in the back!). We are already pumped to come back and try some more of the delicious-sounding menu items (like the chicken & dumplings, Cajun seasoned meatloaf and pecan-crusted pork tenderloin!). Keep up the awesome cookin', Dish!

    Chicken & Dumplings
    Veleria L.

    The dish used to be one of my most favorite spots!! I was so excited to be in the area to be able to stop by, I planned a team meeting there! I get there excited about what to order to only find out they are under new management. That's not always a bad thing but this time, the food just didn't taste the same; not even close. I initially got the chicken and dumplings and I think I tasted paprika in it. Yep paprika...it's like when people put raisins in potato salad;just why? Also it just was not tasty at all. Same with the Cajun Meatloaf. Why ruin such a wonderful staple that they had. It was way to spicy and no sauce which made it dry. One of my colleagues said the shrimp & grits was really good and the presentation of it was beautiful and well done. I exchanged my chicken & dumplings for the fried chicken and it was great! Just the right amount of Crisp and it was juicy and tender. Our waitress was really sweet and understanding. I hope that they go back to some of the same great meals that brought me back to it.

    The service is outstanding...the fried green tomatoes were hot, fresh, crisp and awesome. The main entree that I had which was the fish and grits, I did not enjoy. The grits were good but the sauce was nothing but tomatoes and onion broth that to me over powered the entire dish. And the shrimp lacked season and appeared to be steamed. I would have preferred grilled or blackened. My other table mate seemed to like his shrimp and grits. My other friend had salmon, cauliflower rice with spinach and it looked great. I also had a Whoopie Pie on my way out that was delicious. I will try them again but will not order the shrimp and grits again

    Why would you send out a BURNT BISCUIT like this? Everything else was good, but this small detail.

    I ordered the down south benedict with coffee and it was superb. Got a side of the mac and cheese too. Great Sunday hangover place!

Having the open roof adds such a cool touch and makes it a fun spot to hang out. The espresso martinis are killer and definitely worth ordering. And the fries with aioli?

It was fairly busy, but we walked in without a reservation and were seated indoors right away. We ordered two Guinnesses, the Mussels appetizer (with garlic bread), and split the Fish & Chips plate. Everything was incredible. The cod was perfectly beer-battered, the hand-cut chips were crisp and hearty, and the green peas and tartar sauce rounded it out beautifully. The mussels and garlic bread were also delicious (even ordered a second garlic bread). I would 100% order both dishes again. Our server was also friendly, attentive, and gave honest, helpful recommendations. Prices felt fair for the quality, and the overall experience hit all the right notes. We've already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back. A cozy, welcoming spot for comfort food done right.

I know I made it look very pretty in my photos, but don't be fooled. Here is the complete review. We found the green tomatoes bland and appeared to have been frozen before being prepared. The "Gravy Train" with the mini biscuit was inedible. The gravy itself was OK. Nothing special, not one of the three were "great." But the mini biscuits were terrible, hard, dense chunks of dough. I ate one of them and discarded the rest. The "Chicken Ditch the Waffle" was equally terrible. Whatever they did to turn the biscuit into "fake" French toast is a 100% fail. They were as dense and unappealing as the mini biscuits. The chicken itself was fine. If I was only rating the chicken I'd probably give it a 3.5. The best dish was actually the "GOAT." It was served with a Standard biscuit which we thought was still too dense and dry. I recommend finding an independent restaurant that serves real, "from scratch" food. I should point out that the service crew in the dining room who delivered the food as well as provided cleanup and assistance, were exceptional. They were friendly, courteous, and focused on customer service. I'm sure they deserve more than they are being paid. It was obvious many of them were spanish-speaking immigrants. Not everyone in the restaurant treated them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. Here's the detail of our order from their menu. GRAVY TRAIN mini biscuits with samples of our gravies: sausage, mushroom, and smoked gouda mornay 9.25 FRIED GREEN TOMATOES O hand-breaded and served with ranch or pimento cheese (+1) 8.5 CHICK 'N DITCH THE WAFFLE we've ditched the waffle and replaced it with our biscuit-style french toast with a buttermilk fried chicken breast and Mike's Hot Honey 13.25 THE G.O.A.T. buttermilk fried chicken breast, sweet pepper jelly, goat cheese 12.25 DARK & SPICY BLOODY MARY poblano-tomato mix, vodka, garnish 11.25 (Overpriced and underwhelming)

    Great " hole in the wall" restaurant at downtown Charlotte. I had Chili Burger that came with…read morespicy chili and coleslaw on top of medium cooked patty. A Carolina special. Love it!

    Despite being one of our staple restaurants for decades, we haven't been back in a long while…read more(mostly due to the distance factor)...and when we did, I was quite disappointed. First of all, they're no longer open for dinner...but just open for for lunch. Luckily, business still seemed good for lunch...as it was a packed house! However, there were some changes (for the worse). First of all, one of the hallmarks of Lupie's was the loud, overhead music. Granted, I didn't always love the music selection (as many tended to be Rockabilly), but music was part of what made Lupie's a fun place to be. Well, this time around, we could barely hear the music from where we were seated (downstairs). The vibe has completely changed from its "Heyday". Once a hipster hangout, the place has become a casual family spot now...with many older folks as well. I guess this may explain the reduction of music. *SIGH* Then the service. First of all, Lupie's has never been the place for sweet, friendly hospitality or anything like that. In fact, the service was always quite swift...but the waiters here have always been competent. Well, this time, it was altogether different. This older guy that showed us to the table was also our waiter. Again, we didn't expect any friendliness...and that wasn't the issue. What was the issue?? He was running around like crazy, sweating the whole time! It was obvious they were short staffed, and I get that...but because he was near hyperventilating (literally running and sweating!), it made me (and surely others?) quite anxious throughout. Definitely NOT a relaxing dining with all of that going on. Plus, I couldn't even get his attention for iced tea refill. At one point, I had to raise my voice to get his attention to order dessert...and he basically snapped back at me. Then as if that wasn't rude enough, hear me out on this! When I finally placed the order ("Kuchen", this peach cobbler dessert), he rushed that back to us WITH HIS THUMB INSIDE THE LITTLE BOWL...NOT ONLY TOUCHING THE FOOD, BUT SMEARING THE WHIPPED CREAM WITH IT. it was disgusting!! I thought about asking him to bring us another one...but decided to scoop out one third of the dessert off instead. I mean, how crude of a service was that?!? Beyond gross! Thank God, the foods still tasted the same...well, almost. I had my usual Texas Chili Mac...and while the meat still tasted good, it was a tad more salty than usual. Also, they no longer use the thicker noodles...a big letdown as far as I'm concerned.. Portions have decreased over the years as well...which was fine actually. The pricing was still quite friendly. As much as I love (LOVED!) Lupie's over the past 3-4 decades, I just can't ignore this. You do not stick your finger into your guest's foods! How repulsive is that?!?!?!? I hate to do this, but for once, our experience merited 1 star, but considering our long history with Lupie's, I'm being generous with 2 stars. I mean, FINGER INTO OUR FOODS....and not even being aware of doing it because of all the rushing about so manically?!? I call this REALLY BAD SERVICE. I'm seriously hoping that things change for the better again. I mean, I hope the management reads this, and informs the staff members not to touch the customers' foods, for one. Also, it would make for a nicer dining experience if the waiter didn't run around sweating so much. Of course, the place could definitely use another waiter or a hostess...as that may prevent all the manic running around (?!?). I seriously hope to upgrade this review the next time...if the place is still open, that is. I'm just wondering if they're in the process of closing down altogether, given the lesser hours. Honestly, as much as I appreciated this restaurant for decades, I can't deal with the running around sweating, barking and "FINGER-IN-YOUR-FOOD" service. We may give this place at one more try in the future (if open)...but if I see this type of repulsive service again, I vow never to return.
