But I will absolutely be back!!! Adie was absolutely excellent in explaining the menu and sharing her favorites! (I gave her a personal to let her know how wonderful her recommendations were) The fries are delicious. Seasoning so so good! I had my mouth set on the biscoff cookie shake, they only had Oreo. I tried it but it was just ok. Highly recommend giving out bigger straws b/c it was a headache sucking that shake through lol. I also would recommend using coconut milk instead of oat milk. It just has an aftertaste whereas coconut not so much. The best thing and the shocker for me and my non vegan friend, was the Carolina Hot dog. It left me screaming and then speechless. My friend even did a happy dance lol. We are contemplating taking another drive tonight before they close b/c I shared it with her as she was too nervous to get it, we want more lol. We both love hotdogs and I can't say that I've ever had a really good vegan one. This was it!!! And honestly can't tell it was vegan from the texture, to the chili, the special sauces, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! And the Philly cheesesteak came a very close second runner up. The bread stood up to the sauces. And they are saucey but I don't mind it at all. Sautéed peppers, onions, the protein...this was just good clean food and not too much processed. As a vegan chef (Mama Nicca's Homemade Things) and someone who loves to be creative in this vegan world of cooking, this truly was OUTSTANDING. I will probably return every time I'm in Charlotte. I'm in PA and I wish we could have this on the coast. In this voice of my sister Tabitha Brown, VERY GOOD!!!

The service was quick and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

Every side was flavorful, and the meal came together really well. My only minor wish is that they gave a few more lamb chops, but I understand that may not be possible unless you order a double portion. Even so, I left satisfied and would absolutely order it again. One thing to know before you go: you'll place your order on one of the self-service kiosks inside. There are signs letting you know which kiosk to use. After ordering, you'll wait for your name to be called. If you're not there when your order is ready, they'll place your food in a pickup locker for you to retrieve, which is a nice convenience. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving some flavorful soul food.

Delicious! We were in town and wanted to try something new. Taste of Soul is located in a takeout…read morefood hall. I love that there is seating inside the hall in case you want to hang around and eat. There are also different restaurants in the food hall as well so there is something for everyone ranging from Indian, Thai, and Costa Rican cuisine. Each shop allows you to order from the kiosk and will bring your food out when it is ready. If you place a pick up order it will be in one of the lox boxes waiting on you to pick up. Now to the food! I looked at the menu previously and knew i wanted to try the ribs. I also ordered the mac and cheese and black eyed peas as sides. The meal comes with rice and their vegetable of the day which happened to be collard greens that day. To finish the meal I ordered the housemade hibiscus tea. It took about 10-15 minutes or so for everything to be ready and it was brought out by one of the lovely owners (forgot to grab her name). She was so sweet and came back out to check on me mid meal. Everything was so good. I haven't had ribs in over a decade so that was such a nostalgic taste to me. It had the chargrill taste and everything and that sauce was so good! The "rib" meat had a great taste as well and I enjoyed the meaty texture. The fixins were all really good. The macaroni was nice and seasoned so were black eyed peas, collard greens, and rice. Truly tasted like a plate from an auntie's house. I'm already plotting my next trip to Charlotte so I can make my way back over here. We spotted a handful of vegan spots in the Charlotte area but I am so glad we went with this one.

Everything was safe and tasted amazing. We didn't have to think twice about ordering, and it was well worth the money. Service is a 10/10. Very personable and kind, it made dining even more enjoyable. Food came out promptly and was HOT and very fresh! The atmosphere was so relaxing, too. It's a small dining area with soft lighting, making it very intimate. Nothing was overly loud or distracting and they encourage putting phones away, which adds to engaging with your party. In short, it felt like we could fully breathe and just enjoy our dinner. No worries or distractions in sight! We completely reccomend this place and bought the cookbook before leaving, because I was that good. P.S. Try the ravioli! It is a amazing!

First thing we got almost 3 minutes after we ordered was the caramelized Brussels, we rated it a 9! We got the trio dip plate, loved it, a solid 8.9!!! Best pita bread I've had, extremely soft and great flavor! I got the grilled avocado chicken sandwich with kasseri cheese, so so good! One of the best sandwiches I've had, rating it a 9.3! My friend got a heart of palm salmon Caesar and she rated it a 7.4! Service was quick and attentive, our server, Jordan, was nice and genuine! A bartender came and filled our drinks, his name was Fernando, super sweet! Would definitely recommend and would for back in a heart beat! So much more to try!! Thank yall! Edit: total rating has gone up! A solid total rating of 9.2 due to a sticker on the receipt!! This increased it by .2!

We've been to Kid Cashew several times and have tried a variety of dishes. One thing we appreciated…read morewas the dog-friendly patio, and on previous visits the food was consistently good. The chicken skewers were especially great during earlier visits -- very moist, flavorful, and something we specifically came back to order again. Unfortunately, our last visit was really disappointing. The chicken was extremely overcooked and very dry compared to prior visits. The brussel sprouts were also undercooked and mostly raw. It's also worth noting they do not take reservations for parties under six, which can make planning ahead difficult during busy times. It was frustrating because we know the food can be much better based on our previous experiences. If the kitchen were more consistent, the rating would be very different.

I opted for the Entree (chicken) with two sides (mixed roasted vegetables and their feta carrots), and a glass of their sparkling white wine. The service was so kind and helpful, and the girl who took our order was the absolute sweetest. Our food came out quickly, and everything was great. The chicken was juicy and lemony; the vegetables were all PERFECTLY roasted and tossed in a variety of seasonings. The carrots were really standout, with a creamy feta sauce and tons of fresh dill. Even the sparkling wine (from a can!) was good! Can't wait to go back and try more.

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.

It has that warm, lively feel that makes you want to hang out and enjoy your time instead of rushing through the meal. We did a wine flight to start, which was a fun way to try a few different pours, and everything paired really well with dinner. The highlight for me was the whole roasted fish. Crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and really clean, fresh flavor. Simple but done really well. Service was on point too -- friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and one I'd recommend if you're in Charlotte and want a solid dinner with great drinks and atmosphere.

O M G…read moreThis is the best brunch I've EVER had. The setting is an old church and they very much tried to preserve that vibe. It's a beautiful place. 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!
