    Clean, quick and good food. We couldn't think of what to have for dinner and decided to revisit an old favorite. This location is convenient to Ballantyne and Waxhaw and I love the high-top table options. I had the King Club sans spring mix and it was very tasty. Open wide because it's a mouthful and a handful

    The service was quick. The salad was delicious!

    Great salad! Every item was fresh. The chicken was seasoned well. Great portion size. It was not a long wait for lunch. There is ample parking.

    Potato Salad Chocolate Chip Cookie Miss Vickie's Chips Wrapped sandwich ( very well packaged)

    I ordered the smoked pepper jack turkey on ciabatta bread, with a side of potato salad for later. This was a delivery order so I can only review the food itself. The chips are excellent and always fresh and the tea/lemonade mix was great!

    I've never been to McAlister's, my group of 21 wanted to eat lite before bed. This locations parking lot was easy to get my motorcoach in and maneuver around. It's was 15 minutes before closing and I figured they would frown at our late visit. Nope, Lia welcomed us in with a welcoming smile. The kitchen staff popped our 21 orders out in 15 minutes or less. The establishment was very nice and clean. The restroom was clean and smelled fresh, no toilet residue if you know what I mean. After my group ordered I asked Lia who took all the orders swiftly if she would be so kind as to comp my meal. "Yes" with a warm tone, what would you like. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Caesar wrap which hit the spot. Towards the end of our meals, Lia walked around and took our empty plates. She further walked around to ask if we wanted our drinks refilled and she filled them. Yes yes yes, I would return to any McAlister's and bring my bus load!! Thx Lia!!

All that was left was lids for my dressing, bread, paying, and leaving. Another customer walked in BEHIND me and instead of finishing my order, the employee completely stopped helping me and took the new customer through the ENTIRE line while I stood there waiting. I then had to wait 5-8 minutes while the second customer slowly decided on ingredients and changed her mind multiple times. The person behind me got almost full uninterrupted service while I -- the first customer in line -- was left standing there waiting. What made it even worse was the manager's response. He defended the employee, told me she "did nothing wrong," and completely dismissed my frustration with a "have a nice evening." The issue wasn't just the wait. It was being skipped over and then treated like my frustration didn't matter. I've been there around 5 times in the last month, but after this experience, I will never return.

The food is over the moon delicious with plenty of options and reasonable serving sizes. Even with the slightly high price point, it is well worth every penny. And they take allergies SO seriously! Literally went through a bunch of ingredients to find what would and wouldn't be dairy-allergy safe. Atmosphere is fun but cozy, too. 100% recommend! In-depth: Postino has quickly become one of my favorite places in the CLT area after my 10/10 experience here. To start, the food. My word, it's amazing! Everything my friend and I tried was delicious. The bruschetta is 100% worth trying (the spinach artichoke one is my favorite), and the west coaster panini + romaine salad was tasty at every bite. Their wine is also good quality, with a decent-sized portion poured. Allergy safety is a major thing for them, too. Our server (Lee = the best waitress!) and her manager looked through their bread and ingredients for about 30 minutes to confirm what was and wasn't dairy safe (I asked how dairy allergies are handled for when I bring my husband next time). They also had quite a few gluten-free options, too. The manager explained that she wants people to be able to just come in and relax for a few hours without worrying if they'll get sick, which I truly, truly appreciate. Lee shared a similar sentiment, which was amazing. Now price... Yes, it is a *bit* pricey, but it is well worth it. Nothing felt lacking as far as flavor goes, and the allergy safety is a huge thing. This is one of the few places I felt my sandwich and salad were worth every penny, even if it was $17. Also, their rewards program is great. I got a free bruschetta board, and they offer several other perks. Make sure to sign up before or while dining there to get some good deals! In addition to their sincere care for allergy safety, the service is fantastic all around. They do group service, meaning you'll have several servers, and they encourage you to grab anyone if you have questions. This takes the pressure off of waiting for one server to walk by and really helped me relax. And the atmosphere? I could stay there all day! It's a really fun vibe, but the lighting and seating are very cozy. Overall, I've already recommended this place to 5+ people and will be returning soon

It currently offers free parking for 3 hours and incremental of 1- 2 hours paid parking after. My wife and I came here on a date night. While her original visit left more than be desired management invited us to give them a second try and I'm so glad we did. We had an amazing time from start to finish. The staff was amazing and I was astounded by their dedication to their craft. The best part was the food. We started with the chefs board which had an array of cheeses and spreads. The most memorable was the whipped feta. OMG. The Ambiance was the only thing I feel could use some tuning as there's not enough sound deadening to make the music out? It sounds like a heart beat and makes it hard to make out conversations. Major shout out to Leigh for taking care of us all night and making it a memorable night. Also big thanks to Odhie for the tickets to the concert. This was definitely a night to remember. Thank you Postinos Staff!

Everything I've tried has been made with the highest-quality ingredients and prepared to perfection. One of the things I appreciate most is how great I feel after eating here. The food is full of fresh, vibrant flavor without leaving you feeling heavy like you sometimes do with typical fast-casual meals. It's satisfying, energizing, and consistently delicious. My go-to favorites are the chicken souvla, Greek fries, and the pickled veggies, they are truly out of this world. I also love the pickled beet and lentil salad. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I just tried the spinach and feta pie today and it was so good I almost ordered another one to take home!The staff is amazing and always provides excellent customer service. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, they make the whole experience easy and enjoyable. This has become my go-to spot in Charlotte, and I can't recommend it highly enough!
