That soup was so delish. Grilled cheese was good but I mean it's just cheese and bread so not much to say there lol. I sat at the bar and was served immediately. The place seems to be extremely popular for the after work crowd since they are right below Wells Fargo. Only thing I wasn't a fan of with their menu is that their sandwiches don't come with a side, In this expensive day and age, selling a sandwich and fries separately is kinda ridiculous to me.

My mom and I were in town for ChosenCon and staying nearby -- we wanted something light to eat…read morebefore heading back in for panels, and online this place said it had wine and charcuterie which we thought would be perfect. We came in at a time when it wasn't really busy, but it took forever for our server to come around. Ordered two glasses of red and the cheese plate only to be told after we received the wine that there was no charcuterie -- at all. Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food. But overall, a really disappointing experience based on what we expected. And we had to hunt down the server to pay so we could get back to the conference on time.

This diner was an awesome Yelp choice. Old school look with amazing service and food…read more My eggs were fluffy as well as my pancakes. The chicken wings were huge, fried just right and juicy. Kudos to the chef. Only negative is they offer a whipped spread instead of real butter. Delicious pancakes deserve good butter. I asked for real butter and all they had was honey butter. Do not sleep on asking for it. While it still spread, the honey makes it much better.

We came to Charlotte for a concert and decided to stay the night instead of driving home. By the…read moretime we got settled in, dining options were pretty limited, so we searched online and this spot looked like the best choice -- and we're glad we found it. When we pulled up, there was a police outside, which didn't bother us. If anything, it made things feel more secure. They also use a metal detector when you walk in before being seated. Don't let that scare you off though -- this place is a well-oiled machine and everything felt organized and under control. Our server was fantastic: calm, attentive, and never pushy. I ordered the country fried steak with collards and mashed potatoes with gravy, and my husband got a burger. My meal was excellent, and it came with a perfectly flaky biscuit. The tea was Southern SWEET tea, too. My husband said his burger was good for a diner, fresh vegetables and the fries were seasoned well. The diner itself is adorable, full of character and charm. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely come back.

I lost my card and was pretty…read moresure I left it there but when I returned I couldn't find it and Eric couldn't either after spending a good amount of time thoroughly looking - which I very much appreciated. I left my name and number in case they found it but I wasn't hopeful and was leaving town the next day. Eric found it and gave me a call a couple hours later. He even offered to run it out to me if I called and let them know I was near so we wouldn't have to deal with parking. I've never had a server go above and beyond like this. I would highly recommend this place on service alone but the food was great too! Thank you again Eric! You are the best!

I don't want to see belly button or back piercings. We had to ask for everything - Splenda, water, nothing came w/o asking. Server spilled creamer all over the floor and a bit on the table. Instead of wiping down the cup or providing another, server left the cup and dripping of cream throughout the meal onto the person. The menu was promising and hard time selecting. Chose the fish and chips. Was told it was a scratch kitchen and was looking forward to homemade fries - unfortunately, they seemed like they were out of a bag and served cold. The fish had so much grease my dining companions watched me squish the grease out before eating. The tartar sauce seemed like mayonnaise with a couple pieces of pickle thrown in. The coleslaw seemed like it came from a bag as well. There was nothing good about this meal except the ketchup. Sadly, we won't be trying the Bowl location.

If you're catching a performance uptown, this is the perfect spot for food and drinks beforehand!…read more The ambiance is great with its dark wood, downstairs community seating, and a nice, expansive bar area filled with high-tops (plus an upstairs dining space for special events). While the menu has plenty of full plates, I love ordering their shareables so you can try a variety of things. The lamb meatballs, mussels, fries, and Brussels sprouts are all fantastic, and the Farmers Board charcuterie is massive and delicious--perfect for sharing. To top it off, they have a unique custom cocktail menu where The Queen Bee and CLT Stinger really stand out. Service is typically good, and if you let them know you have a show to catch, they'll make sure you're out the door right on time.

Too many choices. Just red something simple, delicious, and contorting. But who? Enter QCBC. It's getting late. I'm hungry. And I want something simple. And honestly, The Alley is really hyper confusing. So I pull into QCBC just looking for a burger and a beer. And dayum!! Did they deliver!!! First...my bartender comes in super cool. She explains the menu and recommends a beer. I keep it simple...the QCBC Burger with provolone and fries. She recommends the Kolsch. I'm in!! Long story short...perfection!!! The burger is cooked exact to spec. The fries are crispy, seasoned and delicious, and the beer is a pitch-perfect match. Faith restored!!! I was skeptical going in. Walking out...full, happy, and looking forward to the next time I can settle up to the bar and enjoy another perfect burger and a beer experience. Seriously kids...hit it out of the park!!!

That also includes the Huntersville location, which I would put third (but not bad) of the three I have visited. Another plus... They had a Bold Rock Cider in a bottle, which I had never had before. Figured I'd give it a whirl. I'm glad I whirled because it was excellent. If I didn't try it, I never would have known. The service here was excellent as well. If there is one negative, it's a small bathroom that cannot accommodate that many people at peak times. Overall, still recommended.

The staff stood out, both our waitress and the other waiters were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. We ordered a mix of food for the table: tacos, fried pickles, steak and fries, cauliflower, and a burger. The highlights for us were definitely the fried pickles and the cauliflower--both were good and something I'd come back for. Everything else was just alright, hence the reason I deducted a star. We also loved that there was a pool table it added a lot to the experience but I do wish it was free instead of $2 a game. Still, not a dealbreaker. Overall, it's a great spot with a fun atmosphere, good food, and attentive service. Definitely worth checking out, especially for trivia night.

The food was classic bar fare, but made with noticeably fresh ingredients. I had the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce. They were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and clearly just made. The waffle fries were piping hot and delicious, easily some of the best I've had. My husband ordered the waffle chicken sandwich and loved it!! Super filling and packed with flavor. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. There were TVs throughout the space showing live soccer games, which added a nice vibe without being too loud or distracting. Even during lunch hours, it wasn't crowded or overly noisy, just a great place to relax and enjoy a tasty meal. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Super talented bartenders mixed great cocktails and they have some nice selections of beer on tap and wine. The space is tight and, if I'm being honest, the seating wasn't extremely comfortable, but the vibe in this place more than makes up for it Service, from Madison, was excellent. She knew tge menu and had great insights. She was crazy busy but took excellent care of us. The food was quite nice. Candied Bacon is a must. I had a perfectly cooked filet, we had a delicious short rib, and the Cone Trio. The trio was really tasty but the kitchen somehow forgot to put the tuna in one cone and it was only guacamole. Odd, but Madison took care of it right away and it was great. Would recommend 100% and definitely return.
