Love Love Love Emmett's!!! Even higher on the list since they also supported Veteran's Day :) Flavors & presentation are on point at this delightful gastropub in an old mill in DT Waxhaw. The Nightwatchmen Pulled Pork, Korean Glazed Wings, Poke Stuffed Avocados & Mill fries. A great meal to split between 2 ppl and neither leaving hungry w/not a bite of food being wasted. The Poke Stuffed Avocado my suggestion would be to find another vessel to serve it in. It's kind of hard to manipulate the poke while also getting a bite of avocado. Pulled Pork I'm a fan of sweeter BBQ sauces like Midwestern style so for me not having to sneak a side of Sweet Baby Ray's well goes w/o saying & combining w/the coleslaw is an absolutely delightful blend of sweet & tangy. If this was offered as an entree or a larger standard size I would love it or as a "salad" w/o the bun even better just a heaping bit of coleslaw & pulled pork goodness. Something less pleasant - let's talk about the tp situation in the ladie's room. Let's pile them up in there too! Each time I've gone, well I've been happy I keep a packet of tissue in my purse. Thank you for this fabulous addition to DT Waxhaw! read more

Emmet's Social Table - Deviled Eggs... like none other - American Near Me - Waxhaw, North Carolina

Went here for dinner as a party of 5. There was a 30 min wait so we sat at the bar and had a cocktail while waiting. The place was lively not packed to capacity but busy. The cocktails were not bad. The cosmo martini was very good though. The service at the table was not great just ok. They serve tapas style plates and some food items were better than others. The German sliders, Brussel sprouts, and the quesadilla were my favorites. We also tried the pork belly tacos which had jalapeños and was just too hot to be enjoyed, fried deviled eggs which I am not really at fan of anywhere and fries. Others in the party had the braised short ribs and grits. I tried the chocolate mouse which was ok. Would not order that again but the others had the peach cobbler and said it was good. The service could have been better they were not diligent in clearing away the empty dishes which made things look disorganized and unappealing on the table. read more

The food and the service are both fantastic! We had the best waitress when we went who was very friendly and bubbly. We got the chicken and waffles and the grilled cheese and tomato soup, they were both delicious (the pricing can sometimes be on the higher side depending on what your getting, both of these were about $16 each) i definitely recommend, the inside is so cute and so is the patio which is heated in the winter!! read more

Great local Waxhaw spot! It's a tapas restaurant. Portions/dishes are perfect for 2. Plenty of food. We tried the pork nachos, wedge salad, burger sliders, and fries. Loved the fries!! They are served with cheese, homemade ketchup, and ranch dressing. The ranch dressing is where it's at!! All the food was tasty. Servers were wearing masks and we felt very safe with the baby. They were very accommodating. Even made some grits for the baby. The manager came around a few times to check in and fill our water. We will be back! read more

Love the atmosphere . I just wish their meals weee bigger . You get something and it's hard to share because there is not enough to share . Fires are the bomb and there ice cream comes for the creamier in Waxhaw . Grilled cheese and tomato soup is my favorite read more

Reunited with a high school friend at Emmet's tonight...I wish we had picked to go somewhere else. Cute restaurant and our waitress was good but the food was, simply put, bad. We ordered two appetizers to split: glazed brussels sprouts and buffalo chicken dip. Brussels had more oil on them than sauce, buffalo chicken dip could have been frozen from Harris Teeter. Very blah. She ordered a bbq chicken flatbread which she said was fine but did mention that the flatbread was very thin and fell apart on her. I ordered the figgy flatbread and actually ordered something else because it was not at all what I was expecting. Think super thin flatbread with a thick layer of SUPER sweet fig jam, three pieces of tasteless prosciutto, arugula and way too much goat cheese (and I LOVE goat cheese). I had two slices and had to push it away. I ordered the Nashville chicken sliders instead, those were decent. The chicken was definitely spicy and flavorful but I have a feeling it was defrosted and then refrozen as I could only bite thru certain parts of the cutlet. Other parts were so tough I couldn't even cut them. Can't speak to the drinks as I didn't order any. Honestly, the only reason I'm not rating this place one star is because I'm cutting them some slack - I came in on Friday night at peak time (maybe they were overwhelmed? It's flu season, maybe some of the usual kitchen staff was out sick?) I've heard good things about Emmet's from friends in the area, I find it hard to believe that this is how they usually are. Either way, I won't be coming back to find out. Sorry Emmet's! Hate to do it to ya! read more

Even in the midst of a pandemic, and it's never ceases to impress us! My husband and I went here on a driving date, and we're so happy we did. This is one of our favorite spots in Waxhaw because of their interesting menu choices, extremely friendly staff, and low-key romantic vibe. Our favorite menu item has unfortunately been removed from the menu, but the past two times we've gone they've been kind enough to make it for us a sort of a "secret menu item". read more

Great food and great service every time we visit! Bring your friends and enjoy. You will not leave hungry!

I came to this restaurant on a Saturday evening. They have a large parking lot that fills up quickly, but it always seems to be moving so there's not a huge wait for a spot. We grabbed a seat at the bar, which is quicker than waiting for a table. The avocado was my favorite dish. I also enjoyed the fig flatbread, minus the prosciutto for next time though. I really don't care for prosciutto. The nachos were ok, not the best I've ever had. The service sucked. The bartenders took forever to take our order and to follow up with more drinks/food. It took about 45 minutes for our dessert to come out. We even closed out by the time they were bringing it out, so we couldn't really sit and enjoy it by no means. I would try this place again. It's a cool concept. the décor is nice and most of the food is pretty unique. read more

Another great place in little town of Waxhaw. In a great historic mill conversion, with a parking lot. Big bar area, outside seating for the summer, and great seating with bar top tables inside. Busy place on a Saturday night, we had a reservation thankfully. Seated right away, we ordered the Rose wine bottle. Which was a great dry one. Awesome small plates menu, they seem to love balsamic glaze, seemed to be on everything.which is good because I love it! We ordered the glazed Brussels sprouts, which came with bacon and Sriracha honey glaze....so yum!...sweet and salty, perfect . Then the veggies lettuce wraps, filled with brown rice, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, goat cheese and balsamic glaze. Great alternative to the meat ones, delicious and light. The caprese avocado comes with fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil, with the balsamic glaze! I'm not a avocado eater, but my friends lapped this one up and I ate the mozzarella which was indeed fresh. Everything came out fresh and pretty quick. Love to come back here soon!. Go check out Emmets! read more

First time back since Covid. We ordered the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and the Kale Yeah Salad with Blackened Shrimp. I know that with Tapas the food comes out as it's ready but....The Nashville Chicken Sandwiches came out with the Mill Fries but unfortunately my salad came out about 7 minutes later. The Chicken was a little thin so being Deep Fried the thinnest parts were cooked to a crisp and a little dry. What about a BONELESS THIGH instead? My Shrimp came out lightly seasoned but nowhere near Blackened. I thought the Shrimp would come out on the salad but instead they were on a separate plate sitting on top of a little bit of shredded lettuce Oh well..see you again next month... maybe. read more

Everything was fantastic. We did have to wait for a table but everything and everyone was fantastic!

Excellent food, great service, good ambiance. Bar has a wide selection, fair prices all the way around. I'll be back.

The food tasted great but I got food poisoning the next day and I was in excruciating pain.

People rave about Emmets, with tapas and drink. Food was pretty good, custom sauces and different types of cuisines but service was absolutely awful. Waitress came just to give the check at the end after waiting for 15 minutes and other guests at the table just up and left. Ambiance is nice but over all grade is meh. Doesn't live up to the hype read more

My family and I had a beautiful time here. We sat outside and loved the ambiance. This place gets busy and we had just arrived at the top of the dinner rush so we didn't have issues being seated. The service was phenomenal and I really enjoyed the food. I love the concept of ordering a bunch of different plates to the table. I'm the kind of person who likes variety and a little bit of everything, so this was for me. I can't say I was a fan of each menu item, but that's the beauty of sharing! The chicken and waffles were decent, the mac n cheese was decent, the wedge salads were maybe a bit too light on the toppings/dressings, the fries were awesome, the cocktails were great. My little ones enjoyed their own burgers, fries, and milk and gave their seal of approval. I'll more than likely be back. There's just something very warm and welcoming about this place. It's certainly worth checking out with friends and/or family. read more

Food is fabulous! Tried the buffalo chicken dip, flight of dips, Korean glazed wings, pole stuffed avocado and figgy flatbread. Service is on point! Will definitely be back! read more

Great food good service! Portions were plenty for four people to share. I would go again.

Food was awesome! I think we tried every appetizer on the menu for 6 of us. I will definitely go back!

Updating new menus I tried so far. Hmm..seems like I visited every week lol my favorite menus are poke stuffed avocado, glazed Brussels and French onion dip! Can't go wrong with these options. Emmet's smoked mac was a bit plain too me. Expected somewhat spicy taste from jalapeno but there was none. BBQ CHX flat bread was okay. Too much bbq sauce taste for me. Prefer figgy flatbread. Pulled pork sliders always right. World's oyster sliders were good too but recommend to oyster lovers. Blackened fish tacos were not great. Prefer fried fish tacos. For Kicking chicken and waffles, I likes maple syrup glazed crispy chicken but waffle was mediocre. A bit disappointed with raised short ribs. White cheddar grids tasted so bland. Beef could be more tender. Still more foods to explore! The service is always good. They keep changing the menu so choose what survives on the menu! Like their outdoor seating but be ready to fight with flies. read more

A great place for Tapas style small plates in the big town of Waxhaw, NC. Went with K on a Thursday evening for an early dinner and found it to be a very good experience. We were immediately seated and had service from Nicole who walked us through the menu. They have a nice selection of bottled wines and option for by the glass as well. They have a picker/singer playing James Taylor and the Beatles so it was nice dinner entertainment and not loud so you could have a conversation. We had the Brussel sprouts which are flash friend and have a delicious honey/sriracha glaze. We added the tuna poke which comes in a half avocado & the blackened Mahi tacos. It was all delicious and an overall experience. They have a nice sized outdoor patio with heat lamps and 2 large HD TV's. Plenty of free parking in the dedicated lot. read more

Emmet's Social Table - old fashioned and BLT sliders - American Near Me - Waxhaw, North Carolina

While out running errands before dinner. Walking out the store - we decided we wanted to try a new place and thought of Emmet's. We arrived about 6:15PM and put our name on the wait list. When we first arrived, the property is an old factory converted to a restaurant and a flower shop. If you drive around to the side and back - there are unique apartments with an open area for residents to grill. Was really cute and very interesting. Part of me wished there was a little more on the property such as store fronts for shopping. Parking was a bit tight but works. When we arrived we were told by the great hostess that the wait will be approx. 45 minutes. We were cool with waiting as this give us time as a family to chat and catch up. Before we knew it our wait turned from 45 minutes to 2 hours! Normally, we would have left after an hour of waiting and as parents making sure the Rugrats are fed. However, the weather so horrible Friday night. It was a down pour with lightening and thunder. Therefore, those that were already seated - truly took their time during dinner and was no rush to walk to their cars in the rain. We understood and decided to wait. The highlight of our wait time was finding a frog hopping around by the front door. The kind hostess caught the little fella and released it back outside. We finally got seated around 8:15pm which was extremely late for our Little Rugrats. They were such great sports but absolutely starving by the time we sat down. For appetizers we ordered Fried Green Tomatoes with pimento cheese. It was absolutely amazing! Crispy crust with firm hot green tomato that has slight sourness. Mill Fries was the other appetizer we ordered. The fries were just as good but what took it to the top was the sauces that accompany the dish. You have the choice of curry ketchup, which has an ever-so kick. This was by far the Rugrats favorite. I may have had the chance to dip a couple of fries into the curry ketchup before I lost a few fingers! LOL!! The homemade ranch and cheese dip was my favorite. The Mr. just like straight fries. Boy - we polish the fries in 2.2 seconds and had to order seconds. The plates are on the smaller size - very similar to a tapas. For the main course - Rugrat #1 order a kids cheese burger with more fries. Typically I would have cut them off from so much fry food but they were so hungry. I would have felt so guilty if I had taken it away from them. Rugrat# 2 ordered Nashville CHX which is seasoned fried chicken with slaw, pickle and Sriracha. Unfortunately, it was a kids meal so it did not come with fries but had enough from the appetizer. I had the Cajun-style Shrimp and Grits and it was delicious. There was a sauce on the the grits which I believe is the cheddar sauce. OMG - I could have just drank the sauce! It was so YUMMY! I'm telling it made the shrimp and grits AMAZING!! The Mr. had BBQ ribs with fries. Can you tell we love FRIES?!?! =). The Mr. said the ribs was really good and finished his plate. He didn't even offer me a bite! By the time we finish dinner, we were tired and full. We had no room for sweets. We will definitely come back to visit and try new things but maybe come a bit earlier to beat the crowd. Highly recommend trying and it's great for date night, girls night out or just a great night out with loved ones! read more

We got Green Fried Tomatoes and Pork Quesadillas tapas size. Both of these were really good in taste and portions. My main was the crab cakes, which did not disappoint. The building is an old saw mill or brewery, not sure but it is an open concept with lots of space to move around and not be too close to other parties. Our waitress Kaya was charming and attentive. She offered her suggestions on what she liked and glad she did. Thank you for making my last day in NC special. read more

We were hoping for a good tapas place closer to home. The speciality cocktails were $6 so I tried the sangria which was okay but not great, my husband got an OMB Copper which tasted flat. We decided to try the meat and cheese board and the Veggie Flat Bread. The food came out quickly and the meat and cheese board was really good although it was a little smaller portion than I expected for $15. The veggie flatbread came out next and I wish I had asked what the veggies were before ordering. It had red peppers, sun dried tomatoes and broccoli. All which I like but the combination together on pesto flatbread didn't work and it honestly didn't have a ton of flavor. For the 2 drinks and 2 food items it was about $45. We weren't super impressed with the food or drinks! read more

While visiting the area from Florida we decided this would be a good spot to meet up with out friends. The restaurant is so cool looking inside. All the wood and industrial look is right up our alley. We ended up sitting outside which had a heater on which made it perfect to sit outside. The food was awesome. The question is what didn't we order. We started with the Deggs and Milk Fries. Then also ordered B&B and figgy flat breads. The deggs were so delicious they were ordered a second time and also to go home. We followed that with the Nashville Chix, Pork belly tacos, philly tacos, and chicken and waffles. The food was amazing. Atmosphere was great. We got there about 430 with little other parties there. It was very busy by the time we left which was around 6-630. The company was so good we forgot to take pictures of anything. They made room for our 3 infants we had with us. Everything was clean and everyone had masks on when supposed to. We will be back for our next visit for sure! read more

Emmet's is a new gem in the heart of Waxhaw, just past downtown. In a renovated building (which is super cool outside and inside), you'll find quality small plates. We took advantage of the outdoor patio for an after work cocktail and small bites. The first "must get" is their fries! Not only are they super crispy, but they come with three dipping sauces: curry ketchup, warm cheese, and a seasoned mayo (my pic.) (we almost ordered a second orderWe also split the fig and prosciutto flatbread, which was a perfect combo of salty and sweet. We also really enjoyed our fried green tomatoes and avocado caprese salad. (Note- they do come out as ready, so jus let be prepared for a staggered meal.) As for cocktails, we had moonshine margaritas and their "Waxhaw mule". Our waitress was very nice, and helpful in picking menu items. read more

Emmets atmosphere will win you over with its quaint and laid back atmosphere. This place is perfect for a group! I highly recommend bringing a group of at least six people or more. The food is brought out randomly and not the order you order them because it is tapas or smaller plates. We tried a variety of things from the devil eggs , wings, flatbread, kale salad, peach cobbler, nachos and couple other things. The devil eggs were my favorite along with the kale salad. The other food was memorable but nothing to go shout on top of the mountain about. What sells here the most is the atmosphere . Definitely will come back when I am back in town to hang out and order a couple of good items on the menu. read more

I've been here three times now and every time it's for lunch. We've always had good service, the place has such a great vibe, and I love the patio. I've had the prosciutto fig flatbread, the BLT sliders and most recently the chicken and waffles. All were delicious. I also highly recommend the mill fries. They're a good sized portion and come with cheese, Curry ketchup which was good, and ranch. So there's something for everyone! I definitely plan to come back one evening for dinner so I can try the drinks! read more

They put way too much dressing in my salad . Devils eggs were great ! That was probably my favorite thing to be honest.

Service is terrible. Sliders inedible, very loud . I have been there 3X and have never had a good experience. I think it's popular because of the live music read more

We love Emmets. Go there all the time! Love the Nachos, Brussel Sprouts, fish Tacos, Ice Tea and So much more! I do have one request though. While we love sitting in the Outside section, I can't help but get grossed out by the leftover food stuck between the tables' slats. I love it there so much that I will keep coming and stay inside. But if you agree to clean those outside slatted tables better, I will be even happier! read more
