    Visited Goldie's on a Saturday night around 8:30 p.m. and had such a fun time! There was a $5 cover charge for men (women got in free), and a rock cover band was already playing when we arrived, which added a great energy to the night without being too overwhelming. The space itself was clean and thoughtfully decorated, with a welcoming vibe from the moment we walked in. We ordered beers at the bar right away, no wait, and both went for Good Morning Vietnam from Wooden Robot (Charlotte-based brewery). It had just the right amount of coffee flavor, smooth, not overpowering, and we ended up ordering it again. Always love when you can support local and actually enjoy what you're drinking. The place was busy but not packed, which we appreciated. There was plenty of room to move around and lots of seating options: outside up front, inside near the bar, and out back where there's another bar and patio area. They even had a hot dog cart outside, which we were tempted by, but the line was long, so we passed this time. The crowd skewed young (lots of 20-somethings), but the overall vibe was energetic and fun without feeling chaotic. Staff were friendly and the beer prices were reasonable, especially for a Saturday night. We'll definitely be back. Goldie's had great music, good drinks, and a fun night out spot with plenty of space to hang. Next time, we're coming hungrier for that hot dog cart!

    Goldie's is a live music spot with good food. I like going during the week for the specials but weekends are more packed and it feels more fun overall. The burger and fries were good, I'm excited to try their chicken tenders. I wanted to remove a star because they got rid of my favorite taco, the buffalo cauliflower with avocado, which was one of the few vegetarian options, but saw they added it as a side which sounds delicious. The employees can be hit or miss... last time I went the bartender accused me of order a Corona that was on my bill when I only ordered the night special cocktail. She worded it like "go talk to your woman" which felt disrespectful. I am literally holding a cocktail and no Corona in sight. There were like 10 people in the entire establishment on a week day, it wasn't even busy... what the confusion?

    I'd give Goldie's a 3.5 rating realistically. There was some things that I really liked and others were just okay. Once you enter, there's two different counter spots to order food and then order drinks. I could see where that could be useful on a busy night. For food, my husband ordered the Born in the USA burger with French fries, which he really liked. I ordered the Like A Prayer Prime Rib sandwich with sweet potato fries - decent but not memorable. Sides aren't included in your meal FYI. For drinks, we ordered one of the frozen drinks and a beer - both were good and great after spending the day in the hot sun. They usually have live music playing which is really nice. Overall, I'd come back and try more options on the menu.

    Goldies just might be my new favorite spot in town! Tasty food, delicious (and strong) cocktails, live music EVERY night, and enough space to kick back and relax, this place has it ALL! The decor is amazing as well! I love the music theme that you see on every table, wall, and even in the bathrooms! Their pizza can be ordered at the back bar and trust me... the Alabama pizza is a MUST order! Bring your family, friends, coworkers, whoever! Goldies is the place to be.

    Goldie's opened about a month ago in LoSo, and like many new businesses it did really well on some things and was rough on others. The high points first. The people who greeted and served us were cheery and engaging, and the manager took pity on us in the heat and let us in a few minutes before official opening time. I appreciated their demeanor and willingness to offer suggestions about what to eat and drink. Everything was spotless, and though it features live music I suspect it'll be a great place to catch a football game this fall. Food-wise, the appetizers were very good, especially the pork rinds, and getting fried Oreos outside of a state fair was bonus material. I still regret not trying the pretzel bites...next time. The not-bad but not-great included the prime rib sandwich, which with a small side was $20. It wasn't bad at all but it wasn't memorable, either. In value, quality and size it compared poorly with others in the area, especially Cheat's. The 4-Cheese Mac was...acceptable at best. Little disappointed it wasn't better, but probably good enough for people who don't think mac and cheese is the best food in the world (like I do). The low point was definitely the Born in the USA sandwich, a soggy thing with Alabama BBQ rotisserie chicken and way too much cole slaw. My husband also found two bones (which he informed me about after we'd left, so I couldn't insist he return it). The supposedly tangy Alabama BBQ sauce was indistinguishable from plain mayo, so the result was pretty flavorless. We also found it curious that a bar didn't have soft drinks on tap. Canned beverages only. A little thing but little things add up. Like no ketchup with the side of fries, and none offered. (Not a fries girl but c'mon. This is America. Ketchup with fries is de rigueur.) No napkins or eating implements with the appetizers and none to be seen for easy access...also kinda weird for a place without waitstaff. Like I said, it's the little things. So all in all, I can recommend Goldie's as a place to hang out, listen to music and get some snacks and drinks from their fairly extensive bar offerings. The place is appealing, the service dependable, but as a restaurant it hits square in the middle of the rankings. I'd give it a high three stars but I just can't bring myself to give it four stars, not with bones in the shredded chicken and horseradish sauce less horseradish-y than Arby's Horsey Sauce. If you expect decent food and drinks in a sparkling new venue, Goldie's is fine. It's more music club and bar than eatery, and as long as that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed. Your mileage may vary. But at the very least get the fried Oreos. :)

    Great new spot in Southend! They have drinks of all types, food (handhelds, shareables, sides, etc), live music, plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor)....just a cool place to chill at! Service was great, staff was very attentive and helpful... Need to come back for food, but looked pretty good! This place has great potential!

    This is one of my favorite places to enjoy live music and vibes in LoSo! I find it so amazing that they have different bands play every single night they are open! I love that! This is our go to for a low-key but fun night out. I enjoy the warmer months even more because of the large patio areas in the front and back. It's also nice that they have several tvs and play multiple sporting events, basically the best of both worlds in there! You can find out what bands are playing each night on their website. This helps me choose prior to arriving if the vibe that night is for me or not so much. Lastly, I really appreciate that it's free to get in and after a certain time women get in for free and the cover for men is only $5. The fact that they have some security that does some form of "wanding" makes me feel just a little bit safer than a place that has no security measures at all. I love Goldie's!

    First time here - pretty good burgers - I had the bbq one with fried onion straws - bbq sauce was pretty tangy. Curly fries were ok- could use a lil more seasoning. Chicken tenders were just meh.

    Trash, best place for what they call this prime rib.
    Jake A.

    Undercooked, raw food, and a misleading menu to think you are getting quality ingredients (prime rib?)... But they are stomach turning ingredients. I threw almost everything out except the bite... (Edit: took a bite of fish taco and now puking). The fish was cold and raw, and I am feeling the wrath. Honestly, I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not.

    Such a fun new spot in the Queen City - live music EVERY night which is incredible. One thing to keep in mind is it is definitely loud! It didn't bother me but I can see how it could be tough for some if not prepared. They have drink specials at least Monday-Friday and a mini food hall where they had a hot dog stand, pizza stall and larger menu with handhelds, mid options and even brunch. The bartenders were so nice as well! I will definitely be back.

    A few friends and I went after work this past Monday evening. I don't know what I was expecting, but I was very pleasantly surprised by literally everything. First off, the space. Honestly this place has the vibe down right. Between the MCM decor, the art on the walls, the stage lighting, everything. I really liked how they have 3 different areas for food - pizza in the back (kind of speakeasy-ish vibe) with a smaller bar, normal menu at the main bar, and hot dogs at a street vendor stand up front. Outside they have some games, TVs, and plenty of seating (covered and uncovered options). Second, the live music. Live music every night?! The band that played Monday was so good. This is just a quick point but an important one! Third, the menu. Our group had the pizza, steak burger, pretzel and cheese, and the tacos, and all were delicious. I'd love to go back and try more of their menu. Very Southern themed, and everything looked great. Lastly, and this is the only reason for my 4 star rating... drinks. The beer list was phenomenal and had a ton of local options. But the cocktail menu was a little lacking. Maybe I am used to fantastic cocktails at other places around Charlotte, and need to change my perspective slightly, but I was a little disappointed by the options. I'm sure if I asked for something specific it would be fine, and I am definitely willing to try that next time I go. In the meantime, I was very content with my Wooden Robot draft :) If you're looking for something different to do around South End/LoSo, I highly recommend Goldie's. Can't wait to go back!!

    Goldie's is super cute and fun! They offer live music, good food and I loved my cherry limeade slushie! If you don't want the menu offered by Goldie's, there is a pizza restaurant attached as well as The Bug Weiner hot dog stand. I had such a good time and can't wait to go back!

    Are kids allowed here for dinner? I'd like to take my 12 and 15 year old but want to make sure it's not strictly 21 and over at all hours.

    I'm not sure what their kids policy is after certain hours is but the vibe is a lot of drinking and loud music.

    We were looking for a place to eat before skipping town that could accommodate a small group (6…read moreadults and a baby) and a dog. We went across the street and they didn't allow dogs on the patio so a quick Yelp search led us to Jack Beagles. With a dog in the name, I figured it would be dog friendly and I was right... it's event dog friendly inside which was great since we had the baby and it was hot out. They were happy to seat us in the dining room and since breakfast was about to end and lunch was about to start, we had the option of both. Some ordered breakfast and a few of us order the tenders because our server said it was one of the most popular items. I don't normally go for tenders at a new place, but they had garlic parm which drew me in. They were pretty great and served with waffle fries. My buddy got this massive burger that I was eyeing as well and I had a little bit of food envy when it came out. It was called The Big Bear and was sporting 2 Patties, 2 X Bacon, 2 x White American Cheese, Pickled Jalapeno, and Chipotle Aioli. I would definitely try that next time. Only odd thing was that when the burger came out, my buddy asked for a knife other than a butter knife to cut it since it was so big. Instead of offering to bring it to the kitchen to cut it, she came out from the back to say they don't have any steak knives and the only sharp ones are with the cook. No big deal, but a little odd. Anyway, we had a great lunch before hitting the road that accommodated all of our needs.

Our visit happened to be during Charlotte Hot Chicken Week so of course we had to try their special! For only $8 you could get the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was really good! The Chicken was nice and crispy, not too spicy and the thick cut pickles really brought it all together. Also enjoyed were the Botz burger and cheese fries. I loved how they choose to serve waffle fries over regular fries. There is just so much texture and flavor going on there. They have a big menu of mac and cheese dishes that sound super interesting so maybe we'll try that next!

Despite it being packed, we were seated immediately because we said we would take an outdoor table. As soon as the server came to our table to take our drink order, we made sure to order our food too. After this interaction, we never saw her again until the bill. Other employees ended up dropping off our drinks & food. I ordered 1/3 rack of the St. Louis Style ribs. It came with two sides. I chose French fries and chips & guacamole. Chips & guacamole was considered a premium side so they charged an extra $4. It took about 20 minutes for us to get our food after we ordered. This wasn't a bad wait considering how busy the restaurant was. Food was decent and the location was nice as it was on the water. The absolute best part of the whole dining experience was the music. Whoever was controlling the playlist that night deserves a raise. It was peak millennial, throwback to the Disney Channel days music. There was a ton of parking as the restaurant is located in a big shopping center. I would definitely go here again, but if there is a concert nearby that night, I would recommend getting there early.

We mostly went for drinks--I had a couple of Long Island iced teas, and my wife had champagne. The drinks were good, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, Boardwalk Billy's is a solid sports bar and exactly what you would expect from this type of place. It would be a good stop before a concert or a comfortable place to watch a game.
