We got the chicken pesto ala vodka pizza which was a match made in heaven combo. The pretzel bites with their homemade beer cheese was also phenomenal. Wish we went back before heading home.

Staff was very nice and friendly got us seated and served pretty quickly and our waitress checked on us frequently . The brewery has fantastic wood fired pizza my fav ! So I was excited when I saw the menu ! To start I ordered the st. Germain spritz with cranberry which was really good ! Cranberries were fresh and tasty ! For our appetizer we tried the pretzel bites and they were AMAZING ! Highly recommend ! Nice and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside , served with mustard , pimento cheese , and a creamy aioli . Hands down the best pretzel bites I have had ! For the pizza we tried their most popular vodka sauce with pesto chicken ! And I must say it was really good! The crust was perfect thin and crispy and thick and fluffy end crust ! Highly recommend ! Will definitely be back !

Rhino Market & Deli feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that every city wishes it had…read more This Wesley Heights location is one of my favorite easy stops in Charlotte. It's right on the way to my yoga studio, so it's perfect for a quick in-and-out lunch, but honestly, it's also the kind of place where you end up lingering longer than planned. My usual order is the ABLT on rye with Boar's Head applewood smoked bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Simple, fresh, and consistently delicious every single time. I almost always pair it with the Spinach Bacon salad loaded with spinach, cranberries, goat cheese, tomatoes, toasted pecans, and brown sugar peppered bacon. The portions are huge and definitely shareable. What makes Rhino special is that it's more than just a deli. It's part neighborhood market, part coffee shop, part beer and wine stop, and part community hangout. They've got local products, grab-and-go snacks, fresh sandwiches, beer on tap, wine, outdoor patio seating, and sometimes even live music. It reminds me of the small independent spots I used to love in the Bay Area around Burlingame, San Mateo, and Palo Alto. Relaxed, local, welcoming, and full of personality. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere feels genuinely Charlotte. Not overly polished. Not trying too hard. Just good food, good people, and a place that locals clearly love. And if you are visiting North Carolina, you absolutely have to try Cheerwine at least once. It's basically a Carolina rite of passage. Cherry soda lovers will probably be obsessed. Me personally? Not exactly my flavor profile, but people here drink it like water, so clearly they are onto something. Rhino Market is one of those places that makes a city feel like home. Life is too short to not eat well, Charlotte. Get out there.

Please help me understand why they cut a whole red onion, grilled it, and that was my veggie selection. Seriously! It wasn't even peeled and the overpowering onion smell alone made me not want to eat my meal. I won't order from them again. Ambiance unknown. I used delivery.

Unfortunately this morning I forgot breakfast so thought I would run there for bacon and eggs and boy what a disappointment. The eggs were suspect, with some green and brown pieces and the bacon dripping in grease. I have to say $8.00 down the drain as I had to throw everything away. I will definitely stick with bringing my breakfast to work !

My girlfriend and I stopped by Salata in South End on the way out of town for a birthday Airbnb…read moretrip and thought the place looked great inside. The space is bright, clean, and feels like a nice addition to the neighborhood. The biggest downside was the parking situation which is obviously more of a South End issue than a Salata issue, but it definitely made the quick stop feel less convenient than we expected. The ordering flow was also a little awkward... after building your order you end up waiting at the register while the food is assembled, which slowed things down more than it needed to. Food-wise, my wrap ended up being really good but there wasn't an option for a plain wrap, so I went with the cucumber wrap instead of whole wheat and it actually worked out great. Overall, it was a good meal, but if I'm choosing between salad spots in Charlotte I'd probably lean toward Chopt most of the time.

I had a great lunch at this Salata location the other day. I didn't even realize this was here. I…read moreknew about the Uptown location, but I'm rarely in this area so I hadn't even seen that this one was here. It was super convenient. I walked in and no one was inside so I was able to order right away. I had a spinach salad with lots of yummy fresh toppings and the spice chipotle lime chicken. It looked as good as it tasted. The pesto chicken looked great too, but I wanted a little heat. I love their options and that you get the cute lil croissant with the salad. I had the ginger lime vinaigrette and REALLY enjoyed this salad.

The house made sausage is one of the best over ever had. Coleslaw was good and nothing to complain about. It was average as you would expect. The Inca were on point!

During my most recent visit, I spent nearly an hour watching a staff member greet and check on every table in my section except mine. She made eye contact with me several times but never acknowledged me or asked if I needed anything. Being completely overlooked while everyone around me received attentive service was frustrating and made me feel unwelcome. I brought my concerns to the manager, hoping the issue would be taken seriously. Instead, I felt that excuses were made for the staff member's behavior rather than acknowledging my experience. That response left me with the impression that this type of service is acceptable and that the issue is unlikely to be addressed. That's disappointing because the food and atmosphere are genuinely enjoyable, but good service should be part of the overall experience as well.

While it looks quiet from the outside, inside you will find a lot of hustle and bustle as hungry patrons line up to get their breakfast sandwiches, or their lunch depending on the time of day! The place is part neighborhood market, selling beer and wine along with snacks, and part deli serving made to order sandwiches, and salads, along with prepackaged sides and fixings like chicken or egg salad. I finally got a chance to come in around lunch time and was very exciting to dive into my turkey sandwich which came with bacon pepper Jack and a chipotle spread. It was delicious, just a perfect sandwich for lunch. Nothing fancy or over the top, and it was priced very reasonably which is hard to find these days. This place is a gem.

Food is decent, with good ingredients, but it's a bit pricey and not many allergy-friendly options. Service was overall good. Would return occasionally. Detailed review: We both got just the BLT, and it was solid. The flavor felt a little lacking, but I couldn't pinpoint why. Not sure I would order it again. There are some allergy-friendly options, but they are limited. Price was a bit high , but nothing crazy. Atmosphere is warm, rustic, and comfy, but... limited seating during busy times. I also dislike how they don't give you water glasses for dine-in, just disposable plastic ones, which feels wasteful. Service overall was quick and kind. I'd come back, but only on occasion.

They desperately need a different way of handling people waiting. It was awkward just standing at the front, and it seemed like other people were trying to jump ahead of the waitlist.
