    Steak Bowls, Salad, Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
    Virginia G.

    Great restaurant! Everything seemed very fresh and I love the idea behind the restaurant. The steak bowl was my favorite - you have to get the Mac n cheese. The service was good - staff was kind. We did get the wrong item 2 times but they were quick to fix it. Cute interior - nice for a good lunch with friends!!

    Mother Earth bowl with tofu
    Kate S.

    Wonderful fresh lunch spot. Easy access from light rail. Great service. Very friendly. Lots of macro friendly options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot for outdoor dining on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken Yakisoba Noodles

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]My first time at the Ballantyne location and loved the vibe!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was fully packed by the time I exited from my brunch on a Thursday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good portion for a lunch - I really enjoyed my chicken noodles. Looking forward to be back to try new items.

    Amazing 10/10 food. I love this chain and [[HIGHLIGHT]]this location is clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and everyone is so nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had the weather been nicer, I would have sat outside on their outside patio![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Shrimp with Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese & Roasted Broccoli
    Grace B.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I visited Flower Child with my friend during the week, I have passed this establishment on the weekends and it looks so busy but during the week I was able to find a table with no issues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a fast casual place where you order at the counter then choose a table where they will bring your meal to you. The menu is large with items that catered to a wide array of dietary restrictions. I ordered the shrimp with mac and cheese and broccoli. While it was good, I wasn't impressed. The meal was something I could make at home quite easily. Also the mac and cheese tasted more like buttered noodles than a cheesy dish that I was expecting. Overall, if you need a place which caters to different dietary restrictions then I would recommend visiting if not, I would recommend finding another restaurant. Being in Southend, there are so many other delicious restaurants I would recommend over Flower Child

    Rebecca D.

    Delicious. So many options for those with dietary restrictions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing store and patio in the heart of south end.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato with bok choy and sesame seeds.

    If you're looking for healthy options for lunch, dinner or just a snack, this is a great place to start. I ordered today for an office lunch meeting and everyone was happy and very excited about their dishes. We had an array of salads, noodles, wraps and entrees plus tasty sides. My favorite today was the Green Chile Queso with chips. The queso is made of chickpea chorizo, white cheddar and yellow corn chips. It has TONS of flavor. It's creamy and a nice kick of heat in every drop. It melts over the chips and the flavor is consistent. I didn't take pics of everyone else's dish but I got a nice video of mine. Come try for yourself. Thank me later!

    Always a great place to eat! They are celiac friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is fun and they have a great outdoor porch as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My go to is their steak, mac and cheese and roasted broccoli! It is so good! Always cooked perfectly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]their locations here and at The Bowl are so fresh and bright - love eating there![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was also impressed with the staff for this particular lunch pick up. Very helpful and accommodating!

    This place never disappoints me. I am always lookout for vegan restaurants and this always has something. This time I ordered Forbidden Rice Bowl, Black bean falafel wrap and vegan chocolate pudding. Everything hits the good nerve. Just a tiny request to the owner, please add some more vegan options so I can try another wrap

    Salmon, Mac and cheese, Kung Pow Cauliflower
    Jessica H.

    First tried Flower Child in Phoenix and fell in love with it. We were so excited to see that they have a location in Charlotte now. It's the perfect spot for a healthy meal, there's options and flavors for everyone. I love the gluten free mac and cheese, so I had to order that. I tried the king pow cauliflower for the first time and it was amazing. The salmon was prepared well, but it wasn't the most amazing quality- I'd probably go with chicken next time. The ambiance is really cute. Very spacious and colorful. Can't wait to go back, and I really hope we get a Flower Child in durham!

    Entree with Shrimp
    Jacquelyn A.

    Definitely exceeded my expectations from looking at the reviews. I got an entree bowl with shrimp, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower risotto. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Seasoning was unique and the broccoli was the best I've ever had. Perfect portion with just enough food.

    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.

Very casual atmosphere with first come first served seating. Got the Italian salad and pepperoni pizza to share with hubby. The Italian salad (4.5 stars) was filled with cold cuts -who knew.

Pistachio cannoli: 3.5 stars. So small you could eat it with 1-2 bites. Tastes decent and I enjoyed the pistachios.

Pretty simple menu with a variety of options. Mostly their house pizzas with a build your own if you choose that route. It's a pretty busy place with a somewhat heavy flow of in and out traffic. Each pizza is made to order, so there is a little wait. Not a big deal. Apparently this was voted Charlottes best pizza. I can honestly say the pizza is really good. 10" pizzas are easily individual pizzas. We both devoured ours pretty quickly. They have indoor seating, but we sat at a little cafe table out front. The inside was hotter than outside. Overall this place was good. Pizza was great. Service was good. We would definitely eat here again. Recommend giving it a try.

The first time was in November 2025 and 2nd time March 2026 where the bartenders were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made some of the best Bloody Marys we've had in Charlotte. The food was excellent, and we left both times excited to come back. Unfortunately, this Sunday's visit (around 2 p.m.) felt like a different restaurant. It was much busier, and service was noticeably lacking. We waited quite a while just to be acknowledged, our drinks weren't nearly the quality they had been before, and the Bloody Mary tasted like it came straight from a mix instead of being handcrafted like our previous visits. The food was also disappointing. It was much saltier than we remembered, and we never received the Caesar salad with steak we ordered. To the staff's credit, it wasn't on our bill, so we didn't mention it. Overall, no one was rude, but the attention to detail, professionalism, and overall experience that earned our previous five-star reviews just wasn't there this time. We're hoping this was simply an off day because we genuinely loved this place and would like to see it return to the high standard that made us regular customers.
