    GO HERE! GREAT staff GREAT no BEYOND GREAT food! Absolutely loved this place! The lamb birria tacos were delicious, but the plant-based mushroom taco stole the show--the mushrooms were incredible! The black beans and rice were flavorful, hearty, and perfectly seasoned, and the cocktail menu is fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive, too. It's a small, trendy, all-outdoor spot in near Uptown Charlotte with a great vibe. I'll definitely be back soon!

    I couldn't even capture food pictures because as soon as they hit the table they were gone! Food was delicious, service was OVER THE TOP! Nico was incredible as usual. The whole vibe and ambiance of this new restaurant just hit it out of the park for me. Will for sure be back and will try not to forget to take pictures before I eat this time

    Super cute atmosphere with outdoor seating, lively music, & impeccable service. Dinner & cocktail menus with a broad array of offerings featuring authentic flavors and some innovative variations on classic dishes. The Al Pastor, Birria (lamb), and Puerco tacos that I opted for were amazingly well-executed--soft & flavorful corn tortillas, well-spiced proteins, & aesthetically pleasing plating. I look forward to many more visits ahead!

    Really enjoyed this new walk-up taco spot! The tacos were pretty good and the drinks were actually really good too. But honestly, my favorite part was the vibe. I loved sitting at the bar and being able to see the open kitchen..it felt super casual and fun, like everyone was just hanging out. Our server was super nice as well. Definitely a cute spot to grab tacos and drinks with friends!

    Food and service were great. We will be back - love the outdoor only seating. We came during the soft opening so I think the menu may change but the selection they had was perfect.

    This is a bar for the GIRLS I was so pleasantly surprised when my partner and I came here and it…read morewas just the cutest little bar We came here to pre game dinner and it was a great experience the seating in here is limited but we had no problem finding a seat on the weekend. They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on. This is not a bar where guys can be dude bros this is definitely where the girls come to gossip and have little snacks and I love everything about that. The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong! The staff here is super sweet and just lovely

    Found this gem of a cocktail bar last minute. To be honest, I feel embarrassed that I haven't come…read morehere yet. They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.

    Celebrating my 55th birthday with a brunch at Crunkleton. This was my first visit, but will…read moredefinitely not be my last. First and foremost, our waiter, Alan was the best! I'm talking top tier, Veuve Clicquot Brut service...with a little spice...Best! He was so accommodating and keep us laughing the entire time. He went out of his way to make my day special! We started with beignets, oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Espresso Martinis, a Dirty Martini, and a specialty cocktail made to order. It may sound like a weird combination, but it all paired well together. I was in the mood for beef. So, I ordered the Wagyu Brunch Burger- 1/2 lb Wagyu, Over-Easy Egg, Grilled Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Hollandaise, Avocado Spread, Brioche Bun, Garlic and Herb Fries. The fam had the Veggie Ranchero omelet- Seasonal Beans, Grilled Corn, Pico de Gallo, Poblano, Cheddar, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Ranchero, Chipotle-Lime Crema, and a Hashbrown Casserole. Fingerling Breakfast potatoes, with a side of bacon and eggs, and another Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had such a great time and can't wait to return. I even made a recommendation to a friend who dined there Labor Day weekend and enjoyed her experience. I'll be back soon for sure!

    I heard great things about food, ambiance and service. Greeted by a small team at the door…read moreimmediately. Next we experienced top tier service from Tay. He recommended the chargrilled oysters as well as the crab cakes which did not disappoint. I prefer handcrafted cocktails and this is exactly what you're going to experience at Crunkleton. Not only did I inhale my blackberry gin based drink but I was extremely pleased with the birthday beignets. If that's not enough, we devoured a third of our tomahawk steak, the strawberry salad and my favorite item of the night were the mixed vegetables that accompanied the steak. Yassss! I loved the veggies. Looking for foodie vibes, grab your friends and enjoy a night at the Crunkleton. Pro-Tip: parking is validated; arrive early to avoid crowds
