    Every small town needs a local dive and Pineville Tavern serves those needs for the small but growing suburb of Pineville, NC. I was seeing a movie in the area, so I popped in here with some friends to grab some food and drinks beforehand. I had no idea what to expect and I actually drove past it the first time as it keeps a very low profile and is easy to miss. Inside it was larger than it looked from the outside, complete with a stage for live music, a lot of seating, and pool tables as well! The bar is right by the entrance, and walking in most of the seats were taken by people who seemed to be regulars based on their banter with the bartender, my kind of place. Their food menu consisted of mostly your typical pub fare, and I saw the burgers coming out and they looked dang good so I went ahead and ordered the bacon cheeseburger. It came with a big knife in it along with the tots I ordered. I enjoyed the presentation. The burger was cooked very well, but the bacon was a little dry. Overall I enjoyed the food and vibe of this place and I would definitely come back in if I was in the area. I think to fully appreciate it I need to catch some live music one night!

    This place has a rather unassuming exterior but inside is a really laid back (sort of old school 1990s vibe) restaurant and bar with pool and a medium stage. The bartender is very approachable, easy to talk with, and highly competent. Ok, so the hamburgers here are incredible. I'd go so far as to say that the burgers at Pineville Tavern are the best in the greater Charlotte area. I hear the chef is from New Orleans. If so, that makes sense, because the flavor and texture is A+. As for a side, I recommend the tater tots.

    Doesn't look like much from the outside, but their burgers are handmade to order and are thick and juicy. Awesome. Good onion rings, too!

I saw they have breakfast at a really reasonable price, and I definitely want to make it in one morning, but I'm always running late somewhere lol. Today we ordered hot dogs and fries. I really enjoyed the hot dogs. They were pork, which was fine with me, and they were good. The fries could have been a little crispier and weren't seasoned, but they were still really good. The service was nice and pleasant, and the employees did a great job keeping the busy diner clean and flipping tables quickly. Despite "feeling a way" there, iykyk, I still felt comfortable. I would return. I enjoyed the prices and the taste of everything.

The booth in which I sat was wobbly, as demonstrated by the child kicking and wriggling at the table next to me the entire time. But spotless; the staff keeps the place clean and neat like nobody's business. The food wasn't much to base my review on, as it was a really simple item that they managed to muck up because they added bacon despite me asking for none, likely because they didn't believe people would not want meat. It's not exactly a vegetarian-friendly space and I don't eat much meat. So I expect to return to try something else but in the meantime let me talk about the staff. The people who work here are what one hopes of southern hospitality. They are warm, friendly, hardworking as can be, and treat you like a treasured guest. I immediately fell in love with the place because of them. Let's hope on my return for breakfast I can bump this review up a level, because seriously, these people make me happy to live in the South.

The hostess Tara (with the Beautiful lip gloss) was polite as well. She greeted me with a beautiful smile and was very kind. I went to the bar to wait on my order and Amela was just as kind over the phone as in person. She was so polite and helpful. I have not been to this location in awhile but all I can say is...its Still Awesome Sauce Wonderful! Amela with her kindness and attentiveness while multitasking at the bar and Tara with her inviting spirit as soon as you walk in restaurant. The decor is unique as well and my turkey burger was OMG Delicious! Thank you so much Amela and Tara for making my visit pleasant. I will be going back sooner than soon. I would Highly Recommend!

    I've been to this and other Bad Daddy's so many times I cannot believe I've never written a review…read more The restaurant is pretty much a "restaurant in a sports bar" setting. In earlier visits I always gotten a burger and my wife, a burger or a salad of some type. There are many burger varieties on the menu or you can "create your own" using a provided list of available ingredients and toppings. They have also introduced a "smash burgerI". I much prefer a big hunk of meat rare or medium rare which you cannot achieve when you order smash burgers. What ever I've ordered in the past was cooked perfectly and tasted great (which is why I keep coming back when in a Bad Daddy's market). For the last few visits, I've gravitated to "Kim's Honey Chicken" which is a wonderfully flavored spiced honey and jalapeño ranch sandwich. Probably my favorite chicken sandwich anywhere except for when I'm in Nashville. My wife has enjoyed the perfectly cooked burgers but has lately done the "build your own" salad". Much like the burgers, there is a list of things you would expect and a lot that you wouldn't expect to choose from when ordering as salad. Service is always great as well.

This is not a place that you come to for the ambience, but if you want solid wings, you're in the right place. They have an abundance of flavors, the classic sauces and all the sides you can imagine. I really liked that you could get a half order on the sides too. The ladies serving were working hard, but you didn't wait for anything. I would say, if you're coming here for a game, I'd get there early - there's not a ton of seats.

Out of the four of us, I was the only one who hadn't been here before. It's a long-standing, no-frills wing shack/sports-bar hybrid in south Charlotte that's built a loyal following around one thing: serious wings. There are other things on the menu--but unless you want an appetizer or something alongside your wings, ignore them--the wings are the main event. Their website claims 25 flavors, and if you order more than one set of five, you can sample more than one. I went with ten wings: mild Buffalo and lemon pepper. Everyone recommended the lemon pepper wings. These are not a dry rub; they're a wet, glossy toss--and they are OUTSTANDING. I'm hooked. The Buffalo wings were on par with the best versions of the classic style. They provide celery sticks with blue cheese or ranch dressing--I chose blue cheese--and it was a great accompaniment. We also had their Spicy Onion Rings as an appetizer before we ordered the wings. The onion itself brings natural sweetness and mild sharpness (especially when hot), while the batter/coating is where the personality lives: savory, slightly salty, and well-seasoned. DD Peckers' spicy onion rings are essentially a classic crispy onion ring elevated with a peppery seasoning--where the heat enhances the onion's natural sweetness rather than overpowering it. They have a great selection of craft beers and ciders and offer a full bar. Most of us had Olde Mecklenburg Brewery Copper, a local Charlotte beer. I had two bottles of Bold Rock Hard Apple Cider, which paired well with both the onion rings and the wings, along with a glass of Olde Mecklenburg Copper in between. Our waitress was attentive, fun, and efficient. She kept everything moving seamlessly, and all of our needs were met exceptionally. We all tipped her well. The food and drink here are quite a bargain--especially considering how iconic this restaurant is and how delicious their wings are. A great night with friends, good drinks, and incredible wings--what could be better?

This experience completely changed my perception of Itaewon Bar & Food. After eating 5-6 popcorn chickens, I felt like this was really chewy! I didn't want to look down but I had to. I wondered "did they really serve raw chicken... No way!" Guess what? They did! They served me raw chicken for my order: honey garlic K-popcorn chicken. They gave me a refund but the damage was already done. I'll never eat here again and I won't be afraid to tell a friend to tell a friend.

I've tried several vendors by now, and so far, they've been more or less disappointing in taste, presentation and pricing (way overpriced). This place, however, hit all the right spots. We ordered the OG Smash Burger with Fries, and K-Street Egg Toast (w/ Ham), and Ginger Ale. Well, first of all, the pricing seemed fair ( food-court appropriate!)...something I can't say for some of the vendors I've tried so far. The burgers were more expensive than McDonalds, but less than that of a restaurant (as it should be!). Then their K-Street Toast was a STEAL. I say that because their Egg Toast was less than 7 bucks, yet Huge...so buttery, soft and fluffy too! Most importantly, these quality-packed burgers, egg toast AND fries were all absolutely delicious! Surprising...because you don't think Korean when you think of good burgers...but these burgers (and the fries!) were rich, savory and juicy...SO good! In fact, I'd put it right up there with Bang Bang Burgers and Ace #3 (my fave burger joints in town). Again, their K-Street Toast was quite the treat...it was luscious!! I'm already thinking about running back to try more items on their menu...like their Korean Chicken Sandwich and Bulgogi Cheese Fries. I'm not even a big fan of hand-helds, but this was the best meal I've had at this food court...and I didn't feel ripped off at the end of it!
