This was my final solo dinner date of 2025 and it did not disappoint! I came on Tues around 8pm and enjoyed a couple tasty drinks and tried the chicken wings and the carbonara pasta. It was not too busy at the time although the bartender had mentioned to some others that they had been swamped earlier so I chose a good time to go. The spicy Paloma was very tasty and the sparkling rose was refreshing and crisp. The wings were sooo tender and flavorful, and they were super meaty, a hearty portion for a half dozen. The carbonara was a lot smaller than expected but fine with me because I finished it all there. There's plenty of regular table seating plus an outdoor covered back patio, but too chilly for me. This is a great spot nestled in the heart of NoDa, therefore expect to spend 10+ min looking for parking unfortunately! I would definitely come back! @azfitfoodfun read more

Start to finish this was terrible. We were seated for 20 minutes before we were brought water and it took another 25 after that to receive the drinks we had ordered. The host and servers were clearly not in communication with one another because we literally saw them pointing to our table to try to figure out whose it was. Every single thing we asked for throughout the evening took multiple requests and reminders: ketchup, silverware, napkins, the original drinks we ordered, refills, etc. There was a small menu for father's day which is totally understandable, but it felt like half of the listed items were meat between two slices of bread. I wish they would've picked different items, but that is by no means the ultimate reason for my disappointment. The food itself was SO SO salty to the point that it was almost inedible. I had the hashbrowns which directly mirrored those from costco that you microwave for 30 seconds along with a stale and hard bun on my sandwich. Our server was kind, but not attentive at all. When our food came, we didn't have any silverware and it took the waitstaff three separate trips to get the five of us each a full set of silverware. I did not realize that counting could be so hard for multiple full grown adults. The only redeemable part about this meal was the ambiance of the restaurant. It was a nice day outside and the outdoor area in the back is well set up. I will not be returning here because there was genuinely nothing that went right during our meal. This was the first ever one star review I have given and I don't hand those out lightly. read more

I had heard so many great things about this place, so maybe I caught them on an off night, but unfortunately my experience fell pretty short of expectations. The location is a bit unusual, tucked into a residential area, and parking was difficult. That said, the patio was lovely and the overall ambiance was definitely one of the highlights. The restaurant was packed for a weeknight, so it may have been an understaffing issue, but service was noticeably slow throughout the evening. One thing that stood out right away was that the menu felt pretty limited, with not a lot of variety to choose from, which made the disappointing food even more frustrating. The shaken fries were absolutely fantastic and easily the best part of the meal. Unfortunately, the summer berry salad was one of the most disappointing dishes I've had in a long time. The menu described it as featuring "locally sourced summer berries and fruits," but in reality it was mostly dripping wet lettuce with just a handful of blackberries thrown on top. It felt poorly thought out, and all the blackberry seeds made it difficult to enjoy. Overall, the atmosphere was great and there's clearly potential here, but the food and service just didn't live up to the hype for me this time. read more

Finally had an opportunity to try @goodyearhouse in NoDa and it is a vibe on the patio. The shed bar out back is cool. I love that it is pet friendly. Everyone liked their food especially the fries in the bag. Liv our waitress was amazing and had great suggestions. I would definitely comeback. read more

First time here and it lived up to expectations. It must be newer because I'm always in the area and hadn't heard much about it. Food was INSANE. So delicious. I will say it's a bit pricey, but I'd consider it worth it. We got every item on the menu and not a single one was disappointing. The place is also super cute and large, but it did get a little loud. They have a massive outdoor area and a bar separate from dining, so lots of seating options. There were a few gnats that found their way inside and near us that got annoying but it was a beautiful day with the doors open, so that's natural. The waitress was super nice and knowledgeable - and it was her first week on the job! Impressive training for staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

My manager and coworkers took me to The Goodyear House for my birthday, and it was such a great experience! I currently live in the NoDa area, and this restaurant is right in the heart of it. If you're from Charlotte, you already know how cute and lively NoDa is, and The Goodyear House fits perfectly into that vibe. The restaurant itself is adorable. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area is especially nice. There's an outdoor bar, plenty of tables, and even heaters to keep you warm if it's chilly. It's such a cozy and inviting space, definitely somewhere I'd go back to again. From what my coworkers told me, their menu is a bit limited and changes occasionally, but everything we ordered was good. We tried several appetizers including the fry bag (we got the garlic parmesan seasoning, which was delicious), some rice balls, and the shrimp appetizer. Everything came out quickly and fresh. For my main dish, I ordered the Goopy Burger. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10. It was good and definitely worth trying. Everyone else got different dishes, and everyone seemed happy with their food. Our waitress was fantastic, super friendly, cute, and really made the experience enjoyable. The service overall was excellent. They even offered me a free dessert for my birthday, but I opted out, and instead, she brought me a complimentary glass of champagne, which I thought was such a nice touch. The only downside is the parking. There's no dedicated lot, just street parking. Some people park across the street at the YMCA, but I heard they charge through ParkMobile by license plate. If you're coming with a group, carpooling definitely makes things easier. Overall, The Goodyear House is a charming, cozy spot with great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. Perfect for birthdays, casual dates, or just hanging out with friends. I'll definitely be back! read more

I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but I want to prevent others from spending their money here. This was our first visit - for Father's Day brunch. Unfortunately, nothing went well other than being seated quickly for our reservation. 15 min for initial visit from waitress, having to ask for ordered drinks 20 min after placing order, having to ask repeatedly for napkins and silverware, out of some food items, food that was unattractive for the price (McDonald's hash browns) and inedible (sooo salty, stale bread), unanswered requests for coffee refills. The only redeeming aspect was the pleasant environment, but food and service were the worst I have ever had in a restaurant. I can't believe I paid for such a terrible experience. read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant tucked away in NODA. It's a perfect place for date night. There's vibes, good food, and service. Don't hesitate- check them out. Their fries were so good, I had to steal my husband's fries! read more

Went here for Father's Day brunch. Severely disappointed. Despite the relatively good reviews, this was some of the slowest service I have ever received. Took over 45 minutes to get our drinks alone. Staff was very kind; however, we frequently didn't receive stuff we asked for and had to ask for things like napkins and silverware. Another member of our party had to ask three times for more coffee, waiting 15 minutes afterward each time before receiving it. The food itself was severely over-salted, almost to the point where it was inedible. A burger we ordered was overcooked, and not a single member of our party enjoyed the food whatsoever. The restaurant itself is very nice, with a large courtyard in the back. No part of my experience was done well though. I will most certainly will not be back. read more

I have been a fan of GYH since they opened... but the past several times I have been, the wait staff have been rude and unhelpful, the food quality has diminished, and the prices just seem to be going up... Most recently, we went for brunch... Paid 12 dollars for a piece of barely toasted store-bought bread with "egg salad" (if you could even call it that). Genuinely it was basically a smear of maybe a half of a hardboiled egg with mayo.. for $12?! insane but OK. I'm willing to look past the overpriced toast for great service. But alas, we were helped by a surly waitress who just seemed upset to be there. I understand that she may have been having a bad day, but it was honestly uncomfortable to even ask for the items she continually failed to bring us. We have given GYH a second chance, a third chance, and now we're just over it. Best of luck - really hope y'all get your shit together. read more

Cute spot in Noda. If the weather wasn't so hot, it would be really cute to dine outdoors. Our party of 9 had a nice table inside though the flies were really coming at us. Midway they gave us some of those automated fly swatters that helped a lot. To start, we ordered their crispy rice balls and marinated shrimp. The crispy rice balls were pretty good, a nice kick from the romesco. The marinated shrimp was also such a variety of flavors with butter, chili oil, and bay seasoned saltines. Really good. I had the No Rain cocktail but I didn't taste the alcohol at all though it was very refreshing in the humid weather. After that, I had glasses of their brut which was perfect. For my entree I went for the shrimp and grits as it's always a must for me when in the South. However, I didn't care for this version. Wasn't a fan of the tarragon or tomato sauce. I'm sure others like the change of it from your basic shrimp and grits, but it wasn't what I was looking for at all. Dessert I had to try the buttermilk panna cotta but it was too watery for me. Service was pretty good from beginning to end. read more

While visiting my son in Charlotte, we were heading to Noda for dinner. We had one place in mind, and on a whim, decided to stop by the Goodyear House to see what they had to offer. Great decision! There were plenty of good options on the menu and a beautiful setting to enjoy it in. What we ate: The garlic-parm shaken fry bag as an app. We both went with the Flounder as our main dish. Cooked to perfection! Our waiter, Nathan, was a trooper. He was walking around with a boot on his foot, but provided us service like being in the company of a friend. He was friendly and polite. A conversationalist who made us feel so welcomed and made our dining experience inviting. The setting/scenery: There is indoor and outdoor seating. From the entrance, you're not able to see how large the space is. There outdoor area is huge and provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding or other gathering. They have a greenhouse which is there closed off area for gatherings with a play area right behind it. The greenhouse reminded me of a farm-to-table gathering I'd seen before. Overall, The Goodyear House is a 10/10. Great if you're dining alone or with others. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting more often. read more

Our extended family group of 4 adults and 2 kiddos came in for brunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We were seated outside under the massive pine tree at a picnic table. It's a great setting, both inside and out. Our server was very nice, welcoming and checked in on us regularly. The food was great as well! The SEC egg sandwich is fantastic! A great combo of eggs, meat, and a great sauce. The waffle was a soaked in syrup plate full. The shaken fry bag was a hit. The lil Goopy was plenty big for the 9-year old. The breakfast taquitos were delicious! Egg plates that a couple of diners got were also very good, and the sausage was a real fav. Definitely recommend brunch!! read more

Harrison welcomed us in right from the start and while that was a very high bar, it kept getting better. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd want for a spring/summer feel to grab a drink with some food outside. They also have seats inside in a cozy home-feel. Can't wait to come back to sit by their fire pits under the string lights, definitely a must-visit in NoDa! read more

First time here and not sure if I'd come back; Be ready to spend $9 on parking; That's anywhere in Charlotte; Reservation was placed, arrived early. Upon getting greeted by hostess, not so friendly. We got seated and the room was loud with several groups; The menu, on a Sunday not much to choose; The food arrived, as you can see the wedge salad with chicken was alright; My husbands burger burnt; A nice restaurant, just the food didn't come out tasting right. We may give it another shot another time. read more

Great food & drinks, awesome outdoor patio with live music, kid friendly.. oh and they have bocce. Usually you have to sacrifice good food for a nice outdoor, kid friendly restaurant but that is not the case with the Goodyear House. We had the shaken fry bag (garlic parm flavor), cashew Mac n' cheese, and the bucatini pasta dinner dish. It was all delicious and our server was so nice. We will be coming back! read more

I've only been here one time with a group of friends. Everyone enjoyed their food. I would like to go back. The service was great, also.

This place had really nice outdoor seating. It had been on our list for a while. I wish I could give it a 3.5 star rating. The team was nice and accommodating. The reason for the low stars is the lack of options I felt on food. Most things had pork in it, which I don't eat. It was very limited on vegetarian or seafood/chicken options. I enjoyed the trout, but I felt it was overpriced for what it was. None of the dishes could be customized (like getting shrimp and grits without pork). Overall, it's a good place to check out if you are into adventurous foods. read more

Came in on a Thursday afternoon and was immediately sat down. Staff was very kind and knowledgeable. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. I would be cautious tho to sit under the trees because birds might catch you with their business lol. We had a couple close calls. Anyways, we were recommended the elotes and the crispy rice balls to start. They definitely didn't disappoint (4/5). We also go the Mac and cheese (4/5), shrimp and grits (4/5) and goopy burger double (3/5). Burger was okay. It had their own version of Mac sauce and I got a double but would've been good with just a single. Patties are thick. Not like a smash burger. Shrimp and grits and Mac and cheese are great and shareable. As for drinks, we just got some local beers but I would definitely come back during brunch times. I think it would be pretty lit. Good vibes for sure. read more

We've heard good things about Goodyear and wanted to try it before we drove to our Airbnb in Pennsylvania. We had dinner here and it did not disappoint. We sat outside (Note to Self: Don't sit the chairs where the birds hang on the roof, you will get bird poop on your!) The weather was gorgeous (October) and the food wasn't disappointing either. I mean, the burger and shrimp/grits was not that spectacular, so don't get that, but everything else was awesome. We ordered snacks: corn curls, crispy balls, chopped wedge salad and cashew mac/cheese. All the snacks were really good and I definitely recommend those! Service was great. They checked in on us, gave us good recs and were super kind. Also, a great spot to walk around after you eat! read more

Ambiance and service was amazing. We sat inside which was nice because it was quiet and great lighting but the outside looked like such a great vibe can't wait to come back and grab drinks outside. The food was great, we got the bread with honey butter and crispy rice to start which both were amazing. The spare ribs were delicious and the mac n cheese was good, but it had a smoky flavor which isn't my personal favorite. Also the jalapeno Paloma was INCREDIBLE. read more

I could tell right as I walked in that this is the type of place you want to bring your out of town friends to. It's got a unique indoor/outdoor feel and casual yet trendy. Food was not as good as I expected it to be. The pork pasta was just okay. The bread isn't as life changing as it looks. The salad we got was incredibly plain (just lettuce, pickled onions and Parmesan). The rice balls were my favorite thing on the menu. Prices are steep for what you get (entree without side). The cocktail menu online looked better than the one we got in person and my cocktail was just okay. Overall would come back for apps and drinks, but maybe skip dinner. Still a unique find in Charlotte! read more

Awesome experience. Food was tasty and well priced, Portions weren't huge but if you are doing multiple courses they are just fine. Wine was reasonably priced and had some interesting wines. Only slight downside was slow bar service due to a large private event. read more

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the patio area this visit, but the ambiance here is unbeatable! Best patio in Charlotte by far. They've even added small fans to each table to keep bugs away from the food (which is a great touch since that's usually unavoidable otherwise when dining outdoors). The food itself is consistently fantastic. The cashew mac is so unique and flavorful and the salads are always fresh. I've never seen cannabis infused "cocktails" offered in Charlotte, and greatly enjoyed Goodyear's take on it! Our sever provided great recommendations and was super friendly and prompt. The food took a little while to arrive, but I visited on a Friday night during prime time so that's to be expected. Great presentation of everything. Will definitely be back before summer comes to a close! read more

I visited The Goodyear House with some friends and had a pretty good experience overall. The ambiance is fantastic--open, inviting, and perfect for gatherings or bringing out-of-town guests. It has that laid-back, chill vibe that makes you want to linger and enjoy the space. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and really added to the experience. The food? It was good. Everything we ordered hit around a 4/5 mark, but nothing truly blew me away. For the price point, I expected a bit more in terms of flavor and creativity. It wasn't bad at all--just not memorable. That said, I'd definitely come back to try brunch. The setting alone is worth a return visit, and I'm hopeful the brunch menu might shine a bit brighter. read more

All I have to say is you BETTER get fries with your meal or even as your meal! This was a cute dinner with some girl friends and I can't wait to go back. Our server was fantastic- gave us time to look over the menu, answered any questions we had and even laughed with us a few times when making sure we were all set. I'm not kidding about the fries. They are a thinner fry that has an extra crunchy crust that pack so much flavor. The aioli is a must on the side, but in all honesty, not even needed. This time I got the Goopy Burger that came with fries and everything was fantastic. Only thing I wish was that the bun was warm but didn't take away from the experience. This is a great spot for food and/or drinks and the vibe is so cute. In the colder months there are igloos outside with heaters but we were seated inside. read more

I wasn't expecting an actual house converted into the most romantic, cozy, soft space, with an indoor/outdoor feel. The food top notch, standouts, first was the vegan Mac and cheese, hands down my favorite Mac and cheese, I'd take that over the non-vegan version any day. The fries in the little brown bags, genius. They were crispy and bursting with flavor. Goopy burger and the wedge salad, also delish. All the servers we encountered were friendly, gave recommendations, and were attentive. This is one of my favorite restaurants while in Charlotte! read more

This was our first dining experience here. Brought my parents who were visiting out of town from Florida for dinner here with my husband. I originally booked the Winterfest - for the tent. I thought it would be more an apres ski vibe. (Maybe add some pillows for the metal chairs and some throw blankets) It was a little lack luster to what I thought. So we were easily moved inside in a comfortable warm booth. We had a nice bottle of wine with our meal. Service was fantastic. We started with the crispy rice balls which were good. Some parts were not too hot. And the beef tartare was very interesting with the potato sticks. I would say less potato stick next time. The boys had the goopy burger. My husband says that he would prefer less mustard and more 1000 island in the sauce. And my dad ranks the burger in between McDonald's and five guys (five guys being the best). My mom and I tried the shrimp and grits, I liked the mediterranean twist on it but the tomato sauce was a little too much. The atmosphere was pretty cool in the restaurant. We just expected more for our culinary experience read more

Menu is small, as are the portions. $32 for a pot roast that was just a few bites. Oof. Food was good, but not worth the price. Cocktails were underwhelming. I could not taste any pear or vanilla bean in the pear-necessities cocktail. And also if you have a large party, don't sit them next to a table of 2! Odds are if you have a table of 2 they are looking for a quiet experience, and not wanting to sit next to a loud party. Either sit the group of 2 somewhere quieter, or move the party to a louder room. Ruined the vibe of our date night! read more

This was disappointing. Flounder was especially unfortunate. Dark and overcooked and greasy, spoiling a delicate light fish. Also the rice was cold. Also not convinced it was on Carolina good rice.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our recent Mothers Day brunch at The Goodyear House, a wonderful tapas spot in the heart of NoDa that serves up inspired dishes with a modern, Southern flair. Settling into an outdoor table on a picture-perfect afternoon, we ordered cocktails and a tasty Shaken Fry Bag -- a flavorful serving of garlic parmesan fries delivered in a fun, shake-n-bag paper bag. For my entree, I ordered the delightfully spicy Red Devil, a hot chicken sandwich that left my taste buds exhausted but overjoyed. My wife enjoyed a wonderful dish of Breakfast Taquitos while our kids shared a plate of Shrimp & Grits. Service was excellent throughout our visit, and the rustic setting, in a renovated NoDa mill house, is sufficiently classy for everything from a business lunch to a romantic dinner. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available, but if the weather is even remotely pleasant, I'd highly recommend trying to snag a table in the charming, picturesque back courtyard, shaded beneath a towering oak that will instantly transport you far from the city, to a simpler place and time. There isn't a better spot in the Queen City to enjoy drinks and tapas with friends and family. One of my new favorite Charlotte restaurants, my only complaint about the Goodyear House is that it isn't closer to my own home. Highly recommended! read more
