    Shrimp and broccoli
    Matt S.

    Talk about a true neighborhood spot; this place is the definition of it. The food is really delicious, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere feels warm and inviting. My only critique is that the appetizer selection is a bit limited, but the huge variety of main dishes more than makes up for it. I had the gumbo over rice, which was fantastic, and my wife ordered the shrimp, which was also amazing. I love this place and will definitely be back. Very homey, very friendly, and exactly the kind of spot you want in your neighborhood.

    This place is now the weekly date night or "what should we do for dinner?" spot. Service is amazing and the food is just amazing.

    Chicken picatta
    Charlotte W.

    Went for dinner on a Sunday night. They weren't super busy inside but were doing a TON of takeout orders. They have pretty big menu. I decided on the chicken picatta and my husband got the Alfredo with blackened chicken. The service was pretty quick and friendly. The food came out hot and in a reasonable time. Mine was really good and flavorful with two pounded chicken breasts and a large serving of pasta! Plenty of leftovers. My husband's Alfredo was very soupy, he mentioned it to the manager and they offered to remake it. I think they got busy in the kitchen and left something out of the sauce. We will definitely be back and try something else on the big menu! Prices are very reasonable!

    Late lunch on a Sunday with my family. Came here by suggestion of my sister and we were not disappointed. I love that the menu is ecclectic enough that there's something for everyone but no so large that it's overwhelming. Our server, Kenzie, was wonderful. She was professional, helpful, prompt and super kind. She even helped us move to another table to accommodate an additional person to our party. We've already decided that when we go out to eat after church, no more searching all over, we're coming straight to Fresh Chef. Everything we had was delicious, although my sister didn't like the dressing on the kale salad. I ordered mine on the side, thought it had kick but it was good. Parking is great, location is in a plaza. Tip: if you pay cash you save a few dollars Check them out!

    Had a very busy weekend! I'll try to do the food justice. Today we celebrated a friend's birthday at Fresh Chef on Lawyer's Road in - I believe Matthews - on the border of Matthews and Indian Trail. Excellent food, cannot complain! Service was pretty good, of course always appreciate the Manager at that location - Frankie, she's wonderful! Frankie always takes care of us and I appreciate that so much! We had a variety of different dishes, both breakfast and lunch. The breakfast foods were good, the crab cake good, salmon? Was excellent! If you're looking for good quality home-cooked food this is a great place to be. Very happy with them. I can't speak to any other location? But I can speak to this one and Frankie always delivers!! She knew we were from St. Luke's church, a really great experience not ever had an issue!

    Shrimp and grits

    I ordered lunch here via Uber Eats. The food definitely was a positive distraction from a stressful work day. I ordered shrimp and grits & brussels sprouts. The food was hot upon delivery. There was a little spillage of sauce with the brussels sprouts, but it may have been caused by the driver versus the restaurant. I had some food leftover. Will definitely visit when I'm in the area.

    Menu and a sycamore

    A Mother's Day treat! We had reservations and were able to change them to an earlier time without any problem. Started with tuna appetizer, enjoyed shrimp and grits, salmon, and a shrimp salad. All the food was fresh and delicious. Service was great. Craft beers was cold. The space itself is in a strip mall, but inside clean, modern and lots of light and roomy--not crowded. I would highly recommend for Mother's Day or any day!

    I have been trying to check out local spots more often in the area and this one has been on the list since it had great reviews. I guess it used to be "Steven Mills" and now combined with "Fresh Chef" restaurant. The service is good, quick, and everyone is very friendly. We tried it for breakfast and the best thing was the omelet, the veggie & California with egg whites, and they were just ok. The other items came out somewhat cold or burned (or if you want to call it extra crispy): potatoes, grits, waffle, cheddar biscuit, toast. It wasn't very fresh, so not sure if some of these items were just sitting out for a while. So overall, omelet and orange juice were ok...hence the two star rating. The food was not picturesque, so only captured the menu lol. Maybe lunch and dinner provide a different experience.

    Is there a kids eat free day?

    Not that I know of. It's a little more upscale than that.

    You know those places that the locals like to keep to themselves, but you always see it in passing…read moreand wonder how it is? Dunwellz is definitely that. Walking in, it looks clean and put together. We were greeted promptly and opted to sit at the bar. They have daily specials, which is always a plus in my book, and plenty of options for food. I must say, while sitting at the bar, everyone demolished their meals and we all had something different. If you check this place out, I recommend trying the sweet potato tots. They were the recommendation that made me stop in initially. I have enjoyed my visits here over time.

    Dunwellz is a neighborhood pub that serves mostly traditional bar food, but it does it very well!…read moreThey are located in a nondescript shopping center in Mint Hill, but they are a local favorite so expect to see a large crowd. I came in on a Saturday evening and there was a bit of a wait for a table, but we were able to grab a drink nearby and didn't mind the wait, we figured it must be worth it. It sure was! There's a reason they are a crowd favorite, and it has to do with the food, the service, and the reasonable prices. I elected to have the Buffalo chicken quesadilla, and we started with an order of cheese curds. They also look like they have some delicious wings and burgers. If I lived in the Mint Hill area this would be one of my go to's when I wanted a nice meal and a drink or two. Nothing fancy. Just good food for a reasonable price!
