Fried Calamari was alright also. We've had better. Broccoli cheddar soup was watery and not a thick delicious soup. Clam chowder soup tasted more like a canned potato soup (very disappointing). The garlic bread was absolutely not edible (NOT fresh at all, hard as a rock with absolutely no flavor). The cannoli was the only thing that I would rate a 5 star. Customer Service was good over the phone.

I was in town on business and was in the mood for some pizza. This was nothing special. It had…read moredecent reviews so I gave it a try. To be honest, I didn't care for the taste. The crust flavor was just ok and the sauce was marginal. It's not an actual sit down restaurant. You walk up and order, get your own drink, and find a seat. It was clean and seemed busy, but I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here again. If I was with friends who wanted to eat here then I'd go again. I don't want to sound like a horrible person, I just didn't care for it.

My wife and I stopped in midday and split their two slice with soda special for $7.99. Good deal…read moreand nice to have slice options instead of a whole pie. The cashier was friendly and helpful, too. We liked the dough with its crispy crust (an added treat when rewarming a slice); however, we found the sauce uninspiring and began tossing on our slices extra cheese, seasonings, and garlic to amp it up. I would be willing to try them again especially since they have more items in which I'm interested. Oddly, I cannot get delivery to Monroe even though Jet's Pizza next door delivers without hesitation. Hmmm.

We stopped by last night for a quick meal before joining some folks for karaoke. They informed us…read morewhen we sat down the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes so my wife opted for the club sandwich and I got the chicken tenders. Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

So, I figured it was time to update my review of this amazing place. As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.

Olive Garden serves Italian-style food at reasonable prices. We have dined here four times for…read morelunch over the last 2 years, and have been pleased with the level of service, the freshness of the ingredients, and the size of the bill at the end. What more could one ask? I mostly choose their Classico Lasagna with a salad since I avoid making both at home. Lasagna is too time consuming, and why is it that a salad always tastes better when someone else makes it, right? Olive Garden makes me happy when I chose to let them cook for me. Despite some low scores (almost every national franchise of any restaurant gets low scores), this location is dialed in for my wife and me. Looking for someone else to cook today? Has my "Give 'em a whirl" meter covered in marinara sauce and dripping with cheese. Dine here.

Little Mama's was easily my favorite restaurant we visited while in Charlotte!…read more From the moment we arrived, the manager was incredibly welcoming and kind. In fact, the kitchen accidentally made an extra order of Stracciatella and instead of letting it go to waste, he brought it out for us to try. It's not something I would have ordered on my own, but it was absolutely delicious, and now it's something I'll order every time I come back! For my entrée, I had the Penne alla Vodka and upgraded to the homemade noodles. The homemade pasta truly set this dish apart from other Italian restaurants I've visited. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The food, service, and hospitality were all exceptional. One thing to note is that the restaurant isn't very large, so I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. This place is absolutely worth it, and I can't wait to return!

The restaurant itself is a classy joint but with a sterilized modern amalgamation but I'll add, I got my order to go. It does have life and pizzazz as if I were walking into a Don Corleone supported satellite restaurant of "the family" but they had a rogue designer. While I'm on the fence about the interior, the staff are cool but "it sounds nicer in Italian" (Goodfellas). Any who, let's get into the meat and lasagna of the review (ok.. that was a horrible stretch). Frozen mozz stix, why!? Pass on the stix unless you want to pay extra for the same thing Arby's serves up. The pasta aren't homemade, an important note and sometimes they're overcooked (bloated) and sometimes on the money. It's hard to determine what you'll get. I did like the friend calamari as they were tender although they had more breading than I care for, however that's a big subjective. In other words if you like a thicker breading you'll love it. I do wish they offered an aioli with the marinara but alas that's not an option. The best app is the antipasto salad. They absolutely nailed the flavors and ingredients. Bravo! As for the calzones they're pretty good but I prefer ricotta as mine had mozz only. Other than that, it was decent but limited. The pizzas were better than what's delivered from those fast food guys, but nowhere near the best in town. I found the dough decent but for the first time in a while, I just couldn't put my finger on what didn't excite me. Just ho-hum. I guess the ingredients were average? That said my kids enjoyed it, but it's pizza so their judgement isn't exactly gospel. They also like the meatballs and spaghetti. It was decent but not stellar. Overall, my experience was slightly above average. I guess when I see a buffet it planted the seeds of my preconceived notions. I'm not saying it's bad by any stretch but it didn't make the case for a memorable eating experience. Stop by if you have a lot of different items you want to get at one place but if you're looking for the best.......

I don't think I would come back , , unless I was in the area and wanted to feast on a really nice salad bar. This is not New York pizza, at best it's OK pizza. I really don't think they should have New York in their name because this is the furthest from New York style. Then you can get.. From the chew /to the color -to the flavor, the crust does not tell me I'm eating New York style pizza ,nor did the sauce. For the price point and what you're getting, it's OK. I have to say, though, when I walked up to the counter, and I asked who owns the place? Expressed that this was my first time there, There seemed to be a hesitation in admitting who the owner was, and then the young lady at the register said oh she's right over here on the oven. I looked up, made eye contact with a lady who was on her phone, who kind of like nodded and then went back to her phone. That was a clear message sent to me as one of your clients /guest /customers whatever label you want to use.. What an opportunity for her to step over hi -my name is -thanks for coming in. How was everything?, That personal connection is priceless. The message I received was I don't have time to be bothered by this. I'm on my phone.! Having owned two restaurants, one in Raleigh and one in Charlotte and launching another project spring 2027, I can tell you this goes a long long way, people will return for great service, decent prices, even if your food is substandard. All feedback is positive. I wish the best for this establishment.
