    This place is a hidden gem!!! I can't believe I have never been here in all my years living in Charlotte. Fantastic lunch spot to bring colleagues, family, or friends if you are looking for something casual. The food was great and so were the portions. I will definitely be back again!

    Chicken salad Chicken Salad on Toast

    randmas toast. Tomatoes were fresh, love a crinkle cut and was crispy. Felt pricey @ 13 dollar however, heavy portion of chicken salad. Feel like someone's housewife reviewing chicken salad but whatever

    The Kelly's as a wrap with xtra ranch.

    This place is awesome. Homemade meals right next to my job! Today I had breakfast and it was quick, easy and tasty. I got the bologna and cheese sandwich and was not disappointed. They asked what type of bread I wanted and asked about my condiment choice. Freshly brewed coffee with great outside seating choices. Their house special changes on the daily. Their parking availability is massive since most people walk during lunch break for food. This place has spotless bathrooms and dining room area. Most places have a distinct smell to their bathroom. But this place smells CLEAN.

    Line was steady at lunch time! Counter service fast. I had the cheese steak and fries which was good. Food was fresh and hot. I would go again and try some other items. Prices average around $12 a meal without a drink. Seating inside mostly. A couple picnic tables outside. Plenty of parking.

    Absolutely horrible gyro ! 3 pieces of packaged burnt so-called lamb. 3oz of meat at best !

    No idea how this place has such good reviews it's just one of the million every day Greek restaurants and not a very good one at that . My gyro I ordered had like 3 tiny burnt packaged pieces of lamb in it maybe 3 oz max along with frozen fries as a side .

    I've been coming here for years. I stopped coming around the pandemic and just started going back recently but one thing I've noticed is they're very stingy with condiments. The last few times I've went there and ordered a breakfast sandwich and asked for jelly they will only give you one and then when you ask for more they look at you funny. They also won't give you a bag to put your stuff in unless you ask for it. They just put it in the styrofoam container and give it to you. I was taught to never leave outta the store without your stuff in a bag. I forgot to mention the food is good.

    Bacon cheeseburger and fries with a side of ranch.

    It was my first time eating here and I'm very impressed. I went during lunch hour and I was out within 7-10mins, tops! I got a cheeseburger, fries, and a bottled soda. The burger was fresh and made exactly how I wanted it and the bun was toasted just slightly which was satisfying. There is plenty of seating for dining in however, I took my order to go. They accept card and Apple Pay which is very convenient. Nice place to grab lunch if you're near the airport.

    Greek Salad with Gyro meat.

    Great local restaurant tucked amongst the industrial park near Charlotte airport. I was looking for a simple, quick meal that would be good and allow me to do some work from a sit down restaurant. I walked up to the counter to order and less than a minute was giving my order for Greek Salad with Gyro and in under 3-4 minutes my food was served. Has a diner kind of vibe and food was served fast, fresh, and good portion. Gyro Meat was cooked and seasoned well, feta was plentiful, and tomato's, cucumbers, and lettuce all fresh. I would visit again to try more of their Greek options, sandwiches, and salads. Appeared to be a popular restaurant for the local airport, fire, and EMS crews also.

    Saw this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. Stopped by during lunch to see if the food matched the IG videos. When I got there, there was a good lunch crowd already eating, but there were plenty of tables available. I ordered the 11 inch cheesesteak (my eyes were bigger than my stomach) and fries. The sandwich was huge. It was fresh off the grill and was very good. It also came with French fries that were super fresh. It's kind of hard to find on your own but gps will take right to the front of the restaurant. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area and try more of the menu.

    We've been to Culinary Dropout three times now, and this visit was a completely different…read moreexperience from our first two. The first two visits were outstanding. The first time was in November 2025 and 2nd time March 2026 where the bartenders were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made some of the best Bloody Marys we've had in Charlotte. The food was excellent, and we left both times excited to come back. Unfortunately, this Sunday's visit (around 2 p.m.) felt like a different restaurant. It was much busier, and service was noticeably lacking. We waited quite a while just to be acknowledged, our drinks weren't nearly the quality they had been before, and the Bloody Mary tasted like it came straight from a mix instead of being handcrafted like our previous visits. The food was also disappointing. It was much saltier than we remembered, and we never received the Caesar salad with steak we ordered. To the staff's credit, it wasn't on our bill, so we didn't mention it. Overall, no one was rude, but the attention to detail, professionalism, and overall experience that earned our previous five-star reviews just wasn't there this time. We're hoping this was simply an off day because we genuinely loved this place and would like to see it return to the high standard that made us regular customers.

Big, open and airy. Lots of seating and a few party rooms too. Loved the outdoor seating too. If it had been a little cooler that would have been perfect. They have cornhole and ping pong and just a fun atmosphere out there. Our server was warm and attentive. We did not have to wait for refills and she was quick to answer any questions we had. We started with a few apps - the chips and onion dip and the pigs in a blanket. The chips were well salted and the onion dip was DELISH!!! The pigs were wrapped in homemade party dough and came with a honey mustard crème fraiche. They were so good!! For entrees we tried the fried chicken, prime rib dip, and the meatloaf. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The mashed potatoes were so good too. The only misstep on this dish was the biscuit. Way too dense and not very flavorful. The prime rib dip was tender and came on the most crispy bread. What a great combo! The only thing that wasn't great were the fries, just nothing too special. The meatloaf dish was flavorful and came with those yummy mashed potatoes so great pairing. We didn't have room for dresser on site but we did take the monkey bread to go and enjoyed it later. Good portion size and full of apple and caramel flavor. Did not regret taking that home!! Really looking forward to this spot opening closer to home. Highly recommended

The restaurant was very clean and the noise volume low enough to where we could visit and comfortably carry on conversations. Our waiter was gracious and helped us to catch up with the rest of our party. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Nior and Dinner while the rest of our party finished their appetizers and salads. I ordered the steak frites and it was just wonderful! My boyfriend ordered the special which was halibut, asparagus, and mushroom risotto. Everything was perfect! The couple that was seated across from us split the special. The kitchen didn't hesitate to split this dish for them in the kitchen before bringing it out to our table. This is just excellent customer service! They are an elderly couple and could not possibly have eaten the entire meal by themselves. Our waiter was very attentive and nobody at the table ever had an empty glass. Also, your plate was cleared the moment that you finished with your meal. This was our first visit, but definitely not the last. Thank you for making our evening out with family and friends so very special. We will definitely be back in the near future.

The other, lettuce (never have seen that in a Maine lobster roll) and aioli). The one with butter had a nice brioche roll but most of the lobster was small claw ends vs nice chunks. The one on lettuce was better, more larger pieces of lobster, but meat was put onto a lot of lettuce to prop it up. It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed.

It's never a win on both. The best thing I've had here so far is the strawberry French toast--it's actually really good.

The waffles were so hard that I honestly can't believe the kitchen sent them out, and I can't believe I actually tried to eat them! I really want to see this place succeed, but they definitely need to work on consistency, especially with both the food and the drinks. There's potential here, but unfortunately, my experiences so far have been more disappointing than enjoyable.

That's like charging $10 for a small shot of Hpnotic, especially without notifying that it is that much of an additional charge. I understand an upcharge, but $10 is absurd for what was a splash of Baileys. It wasn't even 1.5oz brought out in those small plastic communion cups. Upon Google review, "A $10 upcharge for a shot of Baileys Irish Cream in an espresso martini is unusually high. Normal liquor and modifier upcharges at restaurants generally range from $2 to $6. The Modifier Premium: Standard bars charge $2 to $5 to add a splash of liqueur.The Standalone Pour: High-end lounges often lack a dedicated "modifier" button for premium liqueurs in their Point-of-Sale (POS) system. The bartender is forced to ring up a full 1.5 oz to 2 oz pour, which carries a baseline lounge price of $10 to $14."
