Best fried chicken would highly recommend Haberdish if you are looking for a genuine southern meal. Service was also outstanding.

We got on the walk-in list 30 minutes before arriving, but when we got there, the host told us it would still be about an hour wait. There were several "reserved" tables that remained empty until after we had finished eating, so I think the restaurant could benefit from a better reservation system with more accurate buffer times to accommodate walk-in guests. To avoid the wait, we decided to sit at the bar, and I'm glad we did because the food was amazing. The fried chicken and waffles were perfectly seasoned, and the waffle had a unique texture and flavor that reminded me of a combination of a traditional waffle and a soft pretzel. The cheesy potato cake was absolutely delicious. The fruit bowl was also good, but I wish they had been a little more generous with the blueberry pudding. The shrimp and grits came with large tomatoes, which may not be for everyone, and my friend felt the dish was lacking grits overall. She didn't feel like she got her money's worth. Would I go back? Absolutely. My meal was delicious, and I can't wait to return and try more of their homemade, fresh dishes. I also think it's great that they partner with local farmers to help curate their menu. read more

Haberdish gives a change up with the smoked chicken. Everywhere in Charlotte you can have fried chicken; the smoked chicken was moist to perfection and served with the Alabama white sauce. To heighten your experience, I would def recommend the cannabis infused drinks. Pretty tasty with a subtle buzz. Service was not only great but Haberdish is also kid friendly. Parking was free at the hub on 36th street, which is a short walk from Davidson st and Haberdish. read more

Haberdish offers an elevated take on Southern comfort food with a menu heavily based on fried chicken. The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, featuring a great patio, a nice bar area, and an indoor dining space with a simple yet charming design. I love that it's elevated with fun silverware and plates that look just like the vintage ones you'd find at your grandparents' house! While they are widely known for their fried chicken--and both the chicken and the chicken tenders are admittedly delicious--my absolute favorite thing on the menu is actually the fried cauliflower steak. It is served with an incredible red wine jus and mushrooms, and it is a total standout. If you are looking for recommendations, here is a quick breakdown of what to try: Go-To Sides: You can't go wrong with the Brussels sprouts, mac n cheese, or the tater tots. The Cocktails: They offer really fun punch bowl cocktails that range in size for small or large groups, complete with a cool tableside punch bowl service. If you are ordering individual drinks, a friend tried the Kitten Death Metal and it was quite good, even if it wasn't my personal flavor palette. (I also tried the ginger pomegranate sangria; it was decent, but I probably wouldn't order that specific one again). read more

Three words: SWEET TEA BUTTER. Slather that 'ish on everything! It came with both our biscuit and hushpuppies. YUM! There was nothing exceptional about the deviled eggs alone, but the addition of the smoked trout was a nice, unique touch. The hush puppies were hot and light and I loved the seasoned powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Weekdays, they have the Haber Dish, their lunch special, which is a steal at $19! It comes with an entree, two sides and a biscuit. I got the fried chicken, mac and cheese with the sauce and crispy skins addition, and dill green beans. The fried chicken thigh, their claim to fame, was sadly a bit dry and stringy and overly breaded. It also must have been a pretty scrawny chicken. The sides, however, were fantastic! The mac and cheese was just the right amount of creamy, the addition of the crunchy crispy skin is an absolute must! The dill green beans were cooked a perfect al dente and so flavorful. The biscuit was full of flaky layers. Sebastian was our server and he gave us very good recommendations. He was so sweet too. Super sleek steam-punky ambiance with an indoor and outdoor seating area. Street parking only. Reservations can be made online for a fee (different for lunch and dinner), but it's not credited to your bill. Walk ins accepted and we were able to get seated right away no problem around 11:30am on a Friday. read more

Had brunch at Haberdish in NoDa and absolutely loved it. The restaurant isn't very big, but that's part of its charm. It has a cozy indoor dining area and a cute side patio, right in the heart of NoDa. We made a reservation online for four people, which was easy and definitely recommended since reservations can be limited. They do accept walk-ins when space is available. Haberdish is known for its fried chicken, and our table tried several different options. I ordered the dark meat chicken, one friend got the two-piece white meat, another got the Nashville hot chicken, and another ordered the Haberdish Stack. Everything was delicious. For starters and sides, we shared the deviled eggs, mac and cheese with crispy chicken skin, Brussels sprouts, hush puppies, and a cinnamon roll. The Brussels sprouts were fantastic, and the hush puppies were the standout for me. They came with a sweet butter that was absolutely incredible. We also enjoyed mimosas with brunch. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it's definitely a place I'll be returning to. Next time I want to check out the dinner menu because brunch was so good. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Southern food and a fun brunch spot in NoDa. read more

Haberdish is one of those restaurants you leave and continue thinking about for the rest of the night. We started with the deviled eggs, so good. The tater tots and sweet potato gnocchi were absolutely incredible, and honestly, every dish we tried was memorable. The Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese are also standouts. If you're going with a group, sharing plates is definitely the move so you can try a little bit of everything. And if it's your first time visiting, the fried chicken is a must. To finish, get the banana pudding. Trust me. Our server, Sebastian (we've had him twice now), was amazing both times.. attentive, personable, and always on top of anything we needed. The atmosphere ties it all together: dim lighting, cozy vibes, and the perfect spot to settle in for elevated comfort food. A charlotte staple read more

Came by for dinner on a Saturday night. Really to try to their fried chicken. We were greeted and seated right away. Service was prompt and our waitress was patient with us as we scanned the menu. It was 60% full. It was a casual crowd. Fried chicken: 3.5 stars for me. I wanted to like it but it was ok. The taste and flavor was good. Just the batter was a little hard vs crispy. Champagne chicken tender: 4 stars. Better with the texture. Good flavor. Crispy Brussels sprouts:4 stars. Would have given it a 5 stars but it was so salty. We only were able to finish half and took it to go, which sadly we couldn't finish due to its saltiness. Cast iron trout: 4.5 stars. Best dish. Crispy skin. Moist meat. Just the right saltiness. Alas I hit too much food and could not finish. read more

This was my second time here. First time was years ago when they first opened and I came for brunch so I was pressed for mimosas so much that I don't remember the food. This go round, I got the smoked chicken with a various amount of sides. This chicken was so flavorful. Initially the waiter poured this white bbq sauce over it & I was a little skeptical But after digging in, I was thankful that he did that. Huge portion of white meat chicken, with a side of sweet potatoe dumplings & veggies. I've been craving it since I went a couple of weeks ago. The service was good & the vibe was perfect. The decorations in side & the way the building is built out is perfect and gives a vintage vibe. read more

We ate at Haberdish for the first time today and had a wonderful brunch. The food is delicious, everything was so fresh and I felt like the flavor profiles were very thought out and intentional. Some of the best fried chicken I've had in charlotte, the biscuit was so soft and perfect, we loved the sauces we tried, and the bacon was cooked to perfection. I liked that the coffee came in a thermos so I could top myself off with hot coffee whenever I wanted. Service was great, the dishware was pretty and dining experience was very nice. (Random, but I loved the soap in the bathroom.) Everything was just very nice, I can't wait to come back again and try something new. read more

This was such a disappointment. found this place on tik tok and the found was absolutely horrible. I ordered the haber dish with a chicken thigh , macaroni and cheese"dressed greens" the chicken here is 70% fried breading and 30% stringy, unflavored chicken. the mac and cheese was decent! the dressed greens were literally cut off ends of romaine, dont waste your time. We also shared green beans and Brussel sprouts . the green beans were charred on the outside and undercooked ok the inside. The brussel sprouts were cooked to a crisp and lacked flavor. My boyfriend had the OG chicken sandwich and he couldnt finish/ stomach it, this includes the burned fries that were served with it. The restaurant itself is nice, I don't think their AC was working but its got a cool rustic look. Our server was kind and attentive as well. Maybe they had an off day but this was a pretty big waste of a $60+ meal. read more

Love this place! It is a fancy southern menu right in the heart of Noda surrounded by tons of other stores, bars etc. The Mac n cheese is my favorite dish, along with their hush puppies. The fried chicken is always cooked to perfection but lacking some seasoning in my opinion. We also tried the pickles and they are very vinegary but crunchy! Our service was very kind and attentive. Was able to bring my dog and sit outside. 8/10 experience. read more

Amazing! My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartenders were so nice and helpful! They had great recommendations! Fried Chicken half was perfect for us two. The chicken had a good batter and crisp and chicken was juicy. The Brussels sprouts were delicious, the sauce was great and cooked to perfection. Sweet Potato Dumplings were different but SO good, nice and savory. They are comparable to a gnocchi. read more

Biscuits & Gravy (5/5): Didn't get a picture but this was a top tier biscuits and gravy. The gravy was delicious and had plenty of sausage in it. I really liked the cayenne pepper sprinkled on top to give it a good kick. The biscuits were soft and fluffy. It'll be a tough choice for me next time between this and the Nashville Hot Chicken. Chicken waffles (3/5): Chicken was good, well fried and crispy, but the waffle was REALLY dense and hard to chew. It tasted like very compressed white bread. Go for just the fried chicken. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

@haberdish Southern comfort food executed perfectly. Champagne tenders - impressively crispy with a slightly sweet breading. Regular tenders - classic tender. Still crispy breading, however, more chicken, less breading on this one. Sweet potato dumplings were nice and warm. Comforting. Great flavor. Softer than expected Mac and cheese - best mac and cheese ever, hands down Brussel sprouts - crispy and full of flavor. @lustymonkmustard brings the flavor here... This is absolutely a must visit restaurant! read more

The food here was ok! I got the fried chicken which was good but I wished it was more seasoned. I needed sauce with it because the chicken itself was more on the bland side. The sweet potato dumplings were good at first but I could only eat a few because they are very very buttery. I also liked the Brussel sprouts but the bottom ones were super coated in the sauce while the top ones were dry. Overall the food was decent. The service was quick and they gave lots of recommendations for us. We also really enjoyed sitting by the open door because it was nice outside. read more

There's nothing ordinary about a chicken sandwich here. It's worth fighting for parking in this busy area! Super cute inside and every staff member I interacted with was friendly and warm. I started with a Big fix drink because I was honestly intrigued by strawberry pedialyte as an ingredient. It was super refreshing and I probably would have enjoyed it even more on a warmer day; it was unseasonably cool today. I chose the Seasonal chicken sandwich. I don't know what they put in that sauce but I wanted a bucket of it to go. The chicken thigh was huge and seasoned to perfection. I couldn't eat all of the potato wedges. Well, I could have but knew that wasn't a good idea for my waistline. We will definitely be back! read more

10/10 recommend! This is a Michelin starred restaurant for a reason! I'm thankful the yelp reviews lead me here after a long travel day. I got seated right away and the experience was amazing. We started with the hush puppies and trout dip and right away I knew I picked the right place. The hush puppies come with a homemade sweet tea butter and listen it's amazing! The cocktails were chef kiss from their lemon drop to the death metal kitten cocktail! The sides are shared so we went with Mac and Brussels. The Brussels will leave you craving more and the Mac is an amazing choice. The chicken is award winning either option you can't go wrong with. Buuttttt let me tell you about the dessert!! The banana pudding would have me up there weekly for my fix if i lived there. The compote on the brown butter cake was delicious too. Everything about this place yelled amazing. The lights are lowly lit and makes for the perfect date night spot. It wasn't too loud but the music added a nice touch. It's a must try. read more

Excellent experience! Everything on the menu looked so good; we had to order practically everything lol First, the ambiance - such a cute location and nice, clean, modern and kind of upscale vibe. Now, the food. I really enjoyed every dish! Each dish had its own unique flavor and the portions were great for sharing. If you're a vegetarian, you will be able to find a lot of great options here! Out of everything my party ordered, I took delight in the sweet potato dumplings and fried oysters mushrooms (chef special) the most. The sweet potato dumplings were subtle and super soft. One of their must-eat dishes here is the fried chicken and champagne chicken tenders. Not bad, but I personally would not order them again because they lacked flavor/seasoning. However, they do come with sauces. The champagne tenders were huge! A lot of batter on them. Chicken was very moist, just wish they had more flavor haha Great place for date night, big party, or just a solo night out in town. Our server was great. She was impressed with how much we ordered! Each table has a bottle of their homemade (I think) hot sauce which I felt added a great kick to every bite! read more

There was so much that was absolutely amazing- I cannot get over the chicken tenders and the sausage gravy. Absolutely delicious. And the sweet potato dumplings were also out of this world, but the waffle....... It was hard as a rock, syrup didn't soften it. I couldn't even cut it. Next time I'd do a half order of biscuits and gravy (it's that's a thing) and add chicken tenders. read more

Many gustatory delights to choose from. I like the pickles as a crunchy starter. The service is fast and yet paced so you don't feel rushed. Chicken & Waffles is one of my favorites which includes your choice of two fried tenders or fried boneless thigh, pearl sugar liège waffle, tasty maple syrup. I chose the thigh. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. The aromas swirl through room. Also I like the rich flavor of the Hanger Steak which is a generous 10 ounce portionss, a fermented ramp-chile butter, chives, fleur de sel. Tasty and Chef inspired simplicity and flavorful. I liked the Edward's Thick Cut Bacon which was two slices, the preparations are that it is sliced in-house and compliments the beef. I highly recommend to anyone craving excellent foods. read more

While researching for food options at Charolette, I found multiple recommendations for brunch and Haberdish, and I see why! The restaurant has a very cozy interior and a nice covered balcony area for those beautiful days in Charolette. The service here is very fast, and we received our food pretty quickly after order. I had the Nashville chicken and waffles and overall enjoyed the crispy chicken contrasting with the soft waffles. Only thing to note is that due to the size of the restaurant and its popularity, it can get very loud, which makes conversations difficult, so I would recommend you plan accordingly based on the ambiance you are desiring. read more

Best of all she knew how sincere my compliment was ! Our server was awesome as well! read more

Southern rustic meets modern decor at this family style restaurant known for its fried chicken and cocktails. It did not disappoint. A small menu centered around mostly their flagship food of home style fried chicken and sides, this restaurant is meant to be shared with family and friends. The sides of macaroni and cheese, grits, hush puppies etc, always leave room for the star of the show: the whole bird. Service was quick, but not faulty of errors. Always nice, warm, and welcoming and quick to seat Low lighting, plenty of space, and an outdoor seating patio only embrace the ambiance like a warm hug. Similar to how you'll feel after your meal. Don't skip this place because there's always time for a cocktail. read more

This restaurant is not just 5 stars, it earns my elite reward The server was very knowledgable, social, and helpful. The setting and ambiance was fine- maybe even great, but I just don't care about that. Cloth napkins do signal a certain care about their clientele though. The prices were fair for the current economy. But most importantly- the FOOD. I ordered 3 different dishes. The Brussels Sprouts: 5/5 for superior texture and taste. The best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. They were perfect in every way. The Mac and cheese WITH the crumble chicken on top. Again wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. It was unique without tasting gimmicky. 5/5. The hush puppies were also perfectly cooked, well-flavored, and paired well with the butter. I'd give those 4.5/5. I can't wait to return. read more

This is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants that I have had in a long time. To begin with, they take reservations, and I recommend making them if you're going for dinner. The place is quaint but can get busy. The service was wonderful. We began with the hot honey fried oysters. These were a 4/5. They were juicy, well-seasoned, and sat on a bed of soft bread. Next: Mac and cheese: super yummy, very cheesy, and a perfect complement to a protein Fried chicken: We opted for the additional Nashville hot sauce. Super delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside with juicy, well-seasoned chicken on the inside. Brussels sprouts: THE STAR OF THE SHOW. Even if you don't like Brussels sprouts, please get these. They are perfectly crispy, with sunflower seeds sprinkled on top and some sweet, delicious glaze. Biscuits: Your usual yummy biscuit that melts in your mouth and is paired with this delicious sweet honey. And we left with plenty of leftovers (: read more

I was looking for a place I knew wouldn't disappoint, so I decided to go to Haberdish. It had been a while since my last visit, but the quality and service were just as great as I remembered.

The chicken was perfectly cooked and served in a creamy sauce, and the brussels sprouts were crispy and delicious. Both strongly recommended. Ambiance was cozy with yellow dim lights. read more

Really love the food. So yummy. I love getting the two piece fried chicken white meat and then sharing it with my little pup. Service is mostly nice, but since the only dog friendly part of this restaurant is the few seats right on the front patio (e.g. not including the enclosed glass space in the back that is not dog friendly), it's def not the most dog friendly place in Noda. I've gotten the deviled eggs, fried chicken, leafy green salad, and chicken and waffles over the years. They're all pretty tasty, except if you like traditional deviled eggs (like I do) you won't love these - even if you don't get the trout roe, they still taste really fishy for some reason, so I don't recommend them. I do love the fried chicken though (not southern styled at all, but tasty). And the salad is def yummy especially with the candied nuts. Remember to ask for the dressing on the side because otherwise they predress it. Also, getting a Prosecco was lovely. Would come here again, but probz not with my dog. read more

Tasty food! Came here Saturday around 8pm for a birthday dinner. There was a 20min wait for us as a party of 6, so we grabbed a few seats at the bar and started with a round there. I got the too hot to handle, which was a spicy mezcal drink. Once we moved over to our table, which was unfortunately a high top right up front by the entrance, we settled in and decided on some entrees. I tried the champagne tenders and mac and cheese. Others in the group got the classic fried chicken, onion pie, and swordfish specialty. Our server was nice and friendly, the food came out pretty fast, and we had a really pleasant meal overall. It's a fancier spot in a good location in the middle of town, and portions were very large (and good thing because it's a bit on the expensive side!). But good for a celebratory occasion. I would come back to try some other drinks and dishes. The mac and cheese was a hit, and I enjoyed the tenders - I ordered two but only ate one before feeling full! @azfitfoodfun read more

It was a mix of biscuits and gravy, fried chicken and little chunks of bacon throughout. The chicken was very tender and it had great flavor. The biscuits were soft and sweet and the gravy was perfect. The service was great and efficient which I appreciated. All in all, I will be back!

This place was delicious! I went with some friends and we split a bottle of wine and each got a tender and split some sides. I really like that they price the tenders individually. I thought one was just enough for me because they are pretty big. The chicken was super juicy and hot with the perfect amount of fried breading. The ranch was great but WARNING: the honey mustard is spicy. Mac and cheese was perfectly al dente, sweet potato dumplings melted in my mouth and the Brussels sprouts were potentially my favorite item. The inside is exactly what I expected from an elevated southern cooking restaurant. The server was nice but nothing crazy. I appreciated that they brought us hot towels at the end of our meal. The food is definitely the stand out experience here. read more
