The food is always delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. You definitely get great value for your money. What really makes Vera's Kitchen special, though, is the people. It's a family-run restaurant, and you can feel the warmth and care in both the food and the service. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they make you feel right at home every time you walk in. If you're looking for a place with amazing food, big portions, fair prices, and genuinely kind people, Vera's Kitchen is a must-visit. We'll definitely keep coming back!"

The biggest downfall was the beverages. The coffee my daughter and I each had tasted like water (we both agreed) we nicely asked waitress to try another pot and she did and it was just as bad. The waitress mentioned that other folks have complained about the coffee. My wife had Ice Tea and she is a connoisseur and she said that too was really tasteless. Basically we spent an extra $10 on drinks that were not good. Waitress didn't offer to comp the drinks even after we mentioned being unhappy with them. With lots of breakfast options in Waxhaw and Indian Land we will be taking our business other places.

Good: Biscuit was soft and had a good taste to it. The pancakes were also solid. Coke in a glass bottle! Scrambled egg was fine. Tough to mess that up. Bad: The homestyle potatoes had a decent flavor but they were cold and mushy. They didn't seem to have any ice. Worse: My breakfast meat was kielbasa and it was disgusting. It was cold and undercooked. It really tasted like I grabbed a raw hot dog from the fridge and just started gnoshing on it. I had two bites and that was all I could stomach. We went for Father's Day breakfast and I had high hopes. Really wanted to like this place. The menu looks great but this was not it. Maybe I will try the Reuben one day that people seem to love but I doubt I would ever go back otherwise.

It took a while to get our drinks and they were not busy. If they were busy I was willing to overlook that but they were not so not sure what happened but we did eventually get our drinks. We started with the Emmet's Trio and the German beef sliders. The trio was just ok. The pickles were the star of that dish. The tomatoes were bland and the eggs were also just ok. Next we had the sliders. The pretzel bun was great, the burger ok but again lacked flavor. I think if there was more of the mustard, it might have helped but disappointed. We tried one more dish, the buffalo chicken dip. It was also not bad just not great and lacked really any heat. It did have a good amount of chicken so there was a positive. The chips were just ok. Throughout the meal we really only saw our server a few times, drinks ran empty so not impressed. Emmet's wasn't awful but they didn't do anything that was great and leave me wanting to come back. It was just ok.

What really made the experience though was our server Caitlin.

You can tell she actually enjoys what she does, and that energy is contagious. Overall a really solid brunch spot. If you go, hope you get lucky enough to have Caitlin as your server -- she's the real deal. Will definitely be back!

Unfortunately, the food just did not meet our expectations--especially considering the price. The crab and shrimp omelette was definitely not a hit for me.

I always appreciate good service, but when you're paying the prices they charge, you expect the food to match. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.

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

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!

Very personable and kind, it made dining even more enjoyable. Food came out promptly and was HOT and very fresh! The atmosphere was so relaxing, too. It's a small dining area with soft lighting, making it very intimate. Nothing was overly loud or distracting and they encourage putting phones away, which adds to engaging with your party. In short, it felt like we could fully breathe and just enjoy our dinner. No worries or distractions in sight! We completely reccomend this place and bought the cookbook before leaving, because I was that good. P.S. Try the ravioli! It is a amazing!
