    1/2 Wood Fired Chicken Avocado Sandwich
    Latonya S.

    Uptown lunch at Cashew Kid is a must, especially if you hit that 11 AM-3 PM sweet spot for the best specials. Bravo Emily for giving us five-star service; her attention to detail and knowledge of the menu were top-notch. The chicken avocado sandwich paired with the five-cheese cast-iron mac was excellent. Beet lovers will be delighted by the Woodfire Grill beets with whipped feta and mandarin orange. Pro-Tip: Speak with Sasha for more insight on large group events. It's the perfect chill atmosphere for a high-quality city lunch. Follow me for more of my favorite Charlotte finds!

    I said it six years ago, and I'll say it again -- just go to Kid Cashew. In all the years since my first visit, I've had nothing but good food and good experiences. The food is consistently good and has so many good-for-you options that you can't go wrong, whether you're ordering a wood-fired portobello gyro or the deliciously juicy Big Mac daddy. (Ok, that last one's not good for your health, but it *is* good for your tastebuds.) All hail the wood-fire grill! The patio outside is still a great spot, even in the winter when it's covered. And there is plenty of group seating inside, too. I've used their catering services for work events and have enjoyed introducing so many of my team members to what is *still* one of my favorite spots in Charlotte.

    Brunch on a Sunday! Yum! Kids eat free... 3 options but good portions. Mimosas crafes were only $12. Wow! Food was great. Chicken salad was real pulled chicken and great avocado. Kids French toast was stuffed with strawberry so good! Quinoa stuff avocado was so fresh! Octopus was fantastic!!!! Service was good not great but fine. Got busy so we understood the wait. Took unreasonable long for 1 of the meals to come out, otherwise would have gone 5

    Still 5 star after all these years! Food is consistently excellent- service is fast - and if go between 3-6p Mon- Fri you'll catch their happy hour pricing - all small plate are 7 - today only 55 bucks and that included 3 cocktails Get the LAMB burger Also GET - the grilled octopus the grilled beets the shrimp and polenta the meatballs in a savory rich brown gravy get the hummus - they are all delicious It's a cozy spot with a fairly large patio too! We hit this place up at 2-3 times each month!

    This dining experience was a family event and I must say- it was perfect. I love how eclectic the place is and the staff was friendly (albeit a bit sparse.) The food was affordable and absolutely delicious! I had the lamb burger and we split the Mac n cheese, avocado and one of the popular dips. Everything was so good and I haven't stopped thinking about it. Will def be returning next time I'm in the area.

    Wood Fired Grilled Octopus
    Sam B.

    Sat at the bar for a quick meal here. It was lively, but not too loud. I ordered the octopus, meatballs, and rotisserie chicken. The octopus was flavorful, but a tad bit chewy for my liking. It was not enough to take away from the dish. The meatballs were phenomenal. They were tender, juicy, and the sauce they came in was INSANE. Lastly, the rotisserie chicken was well-seasoned and very moist. My only complaint would be that it's a bit hard to pull apart, but that is to be expected. The service was friendly and attentive, especially for sitting at the bar. I love that they were shirts with "goats" like Ali and Bourdain. Additionally, the prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely want to try more of the menu. Overall 4.4/5

    Bland ass Burger and 5 cheese watery Mac
    Ty C.

    One Star for my server! She was so sweet. I guess when you see a lot of people sitting outside on the patio, that means the weather is really nice but that doesn't mean that the food is any good probably the worst hamburger I've had in Charlotte. No flavor bland ...says asked for medium but is undercooked the mac & cheese is supposed to be a five cheese mac & cheese, but it has onions and leaks!!!??? No No No ...in it some kind of peppers or something also bland no taste but hey, it's only $11.95 lol... won't be back.

    Burger and spicy seasoned chips
    LaDeanne D.

    It's been a few years since we have been here so we decided to give it another shot. We went for brunch after @frontporchsundays. Between the two of us we had a Bloody Mary, a burger (not the Mac daddy, the one with bacon) and the egg stack . The good: the Bloody Mary had a bit more of a kick to it than my husband would like but he still enjoyed it and was the best thing we ordered. The not so good: The texture on the egg stack was strange and not pleasant at all. I left 2/3 of the little square on my plate untouched and the server didn't even comment or ask about it. The bacon was undercooked and limp but I cut off the fat and ate the bacon and avocado. I would NOT recommend the egg soufflé/stack. Lacking in flavor and the texture was not remotely egg-like. The burger had good flavor but the bun completely fell apart in my husband's hands after the FIRST BITE. He ate it with a fork and left the bun and the chips behind because the chips had a spicy seasoning on them and between that and his drink, it was too much spice. Again, the server takes his plate away with most of the food on the plate still and doesn't say a word. The first visit wasn't especially memorable and this second visit wasn't any better. I wish the business well but it's not the place for us.

    Recommended by a local, we decided to try this restaurant after attending an event at the Parr Center nearby. Casual atmosphere, great sharables menu with a variety of both vegan, vegetarian and meat options. We thought they were good portions for two to share. Unfortunately, we didnt take any pic of the dishes except for dessert! Which, is not on the menu, ask your server about! We chose to sit on the outdoor porch because we had our dog with us. Wven with outside temps at 80 (in April) it was comfortably cool!

    Cilantro Lime Chicken Skewers
    Reana K.

    Where to even begin!? My brother was in between having us eat here and a place across from here called Penguin. I'm really happy we ate at Kid Cashew! From the service to the atmosphere on the patio where we chose to eat, everything was immaculate. Our server told us about a great deal where the tapas are all discounted until 6pm Monday through Friday. We got a bottle of wine for the table and tried a bunch of food to share for the table. I think one of my favorites was the chicken skewers! The chicken literally melted off the skewers and tasted so good with the cilantro lime. The Mac and cheese was to die for too. Can't forget the octopus! It paired well with the couscous and seasoning. If I was around here again in Charlotte, I would definitely come back here and do their tapas again! It was filling, hit the spot, and yummy!

    The setting is cute, old timey, has outdoor seating also, menu has asterisk beside the gf options, but extremely loud with no sound buffers, lighting is harsh with uncovered bulbs, the front main entrance doesn't have any handicap access and it has a giant step up that's part of the cement and no hand rails, and the ramp at the end of the building isn't at a marked door so it looks like it's for deliveries. Food was beautiful on the plate but tasted absolutely horrible! The only thing on my plate that tasted good was the raw carrots, raw celery, and water if that tells you anything! I ordered gf 1/2 chicken and avocado sandwiche with a side of beets. The beets were burnt and the sandwich tasted so bad I gagged on it and only took two bites. The small amount of goat cheese that came on the beets was good. The waitress wasn't attentive to our table either. We did explain our food tasted horrible and she replaced it with a cilantro chipotle chicken skewer and the smell was so bad from it I couldn't eat it. Our daughters gluten food was bad as well. We will not go back to this place at all!

    Upon entering the establishment we were quickly greeted and seated. Our server wasn't too far behind to take our drink order and took an order for a small plate for us to share. Our small plate arrived a shortly after about 5 minutes. We received the cast iron Mac and cheese and it was delicious and couldn't recommend enough. We decided to order the Big Cheese Burger and the All Natural wood fired chicken avocado. Our waiter at that point had been a little infrequent but had managed to keep our waters from going empty. When our meals arrived is where things took a turn. We hardly seen our waiter anymore, which was a bummer. My chicken sandwich ended up being shredded chicken which no where on the menu mentioned that, but I could've asked that prior to ordering I'll admit. Wood fired just led me to assume it would have been a patty. That being said of our meals were very bland. So I was looking for something to add at least to try to salvage it. Mine being shredded chicken it didn't really change how bland it was with trying to add salt and pepper or the chipotle sauce I was offered. I was offered two other things but those it's typically are on the bland side of things too so I didn't attempt. The burger was on a similar issue, no seasoning and just relied on the wood fire. The bacon on it was also unevenly cooked. The only thing not bland in our meals were the chips which were an unbalanced amount of cayenne pepper. Overall I liked the atmosphere and the starter. While it wouldn't be somewhere I'd highly recommend based on what I ordered, I'd definitely go back and try different items. Looking around us plenty of people seem to enjoy what they had ordered. So I'm assuming we just ordered something not as good, or had an off day for the cook.

    I ordered takeout to the office and, unfortunately, the food wasn't very appealing. I ordered the Impossible Gyro, but it appeared to have some type of chicken in it, which was confusing and disappointing since I specifically chose a plant-based option. The meatballs, however, were good and definitely the highlight of the order. My food was ready in a timely manner, which I appreciated. Overall, the quality didn't quite meet my expectations this time. I may give the restaurant another try by dining in, but based on this experience, the food was just okay.

We were a walk in but were able to score a table outside which was perfect. The drinks are good and the staff members work as a team so there's not one primary waitress. I ordered a custom drink where I told the server what I liked and the bartender created something based on my likes. It was a "fruity" tequila based drink and I enjoyed it. We were given a bowl of complementary kettle corn to enjoy with our drinks. The music was a mix of r&b and hip hop and was loud enough to vibe but didn't overpower the conversations.

There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

We also wanted to celebrate with a strawberry mojito. First, our waiter told us they were out of the non-alcoholic version, so we said we'd just get the alcoholic one instead. He came back again and apologized, saying he had misspoken--they don't offer strawberry mojitos at all, either non-alcoholic or alcoholic. He first suggested a cranberry spritzer, then recommended a lemon drop and a strawberry chipotle mojito. Unfortunately, both drinks were disappointing. The lemon drop was bland, and the strawberry chipotle mojito barely tasted like it had any alcohol and was also lacking flavor. We were told the upstairs comedy club had recently been renovated. While it looked updated, I was surprised by how small the stage was. The seating also felt cramped, with four people expected to share a very small table. Compared to other comedy clubs we've visited in Charlotte, the layout just didn't feel well thought out. The highlight of the night was getting to see Flame Monroe, but overall the venue itself didn't leave a lasting impression. If you're curious, it's worth visiting once to experience it for yourself, but it's probably not a place we'll return to.
