The boil was amazing I got the Cajun Hot seasoning, and it was so good. The spice level and flavor were absolutely perfect. Our server, I believe her name was Jalisa, was so kind and attentive. She checked on us the perfect amount without being overbearing. Service was quick, and they provided gloves and a bib, made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was very nice and clean, and I loved the music choice as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back!

I wanted to start with their fried calamari but it never came to the table so I was a little let down from that. I ordered the Combo D which came with 1/2 lb shrimp and a pound of crab legs and the Cajun seasoning was really good and had the right amount of spice to it. I wished the crab legs were bigger honestly for the price.

As a girl born in Texas, a really good chicken fried steak is practically part of my DNA. It's one…read moreof those comfort foods I don't eat often because it's so rich--but when I see it on a menu, it absolutely catches my attention. That's exactly what drew me to The Southern Pecan in SouthPark. Here in the South, they call it country fried steak, and I'm happy to report this one did not disappoint. I met a colleague there for lunch, and everything about the experience felt easy from the start. The restaurant is located in Phillips Place, a lovely little shopping area that feels a bit polished and upscale--with shops like Orvis, Tory Burch, and even a Restoration Hardware restaurant nearby. They do offer valet parking, which is a nice touch, though honestly parking is easy enough on your own. We had reservations through OpenTable and were seated on the patio, which was absolutely delightful for this time of year in Charlotte. The weather was perfect, the setting was relaxed, and the service started off warm and welcoming right away. Now, the food. The country fried steak was beautifully cooked--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and served with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy that hit all the nostalgic notes from my Texas upbringing. I paired it with a vegetable side (I believe it was broccoli or corn), and it was a classic Southern plate done right. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, and to finish, we split a praline bread pudding, which felt like the perfect Southern ending to the meal--sweet, comforting, and indulgent without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and attentive, and one of the things I continue to appreciate about Charlotte is how easy it is to connect with people. We even chatted with diners at nearby tables, which added to that welcoming, community feel that makes dining out here so enjoyable--especially for someone coming from the Bay Area. Prices felt fair for the quality, the setting, and the portion sizes, and overall the experience left a great impression. Bottom line: If you're craving a solid Southern classic like country fried steak--or just want a relaxed patio lunch in a charming part of SouthPark--The Southern Pecan is definitely worth a visit. And as someone happily eating my way through Charlotte and the Southeast, this stop was another reminder that the journey has been a delicious one.

Hubby and I tried Mar y Tierra Restaurant while passing through Charlotte, NC to Ga. As per our…read morewaitress- Elena's recommendation, we had the Grilled Octopus with rice and fried yuka, and Shrimp and Octopus Ceviche. While waiting, we were served with freshly made tortilla chips and salsa with our drinks. The restaurant was clean, well lit, and had a feeling of openness to the place. They also had nice seating options either table or booth options. I liked the lively Saturday Night music vibes in the background and had a couple of huge TVs screens along the walls, stationed on a sports channel to pass the time. Although the wait was a bit too long waiting for our food, it was well worth the wait! Hubby's choice of Grilled Octopus arrived hot and was charred to perfection! It had a somewhat creamy spicy sauce over it, while it paired deliciously with the rice and fried yuka fries. I LOVED the yuka fries! I had the Shrimp and Octopus Ceviche which was presented beautifully with cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocados. It had the perfect balance of acidity, seasoning, and spiciness. We enjoyed eating it by itself and with the tortilla chips, which we had for the table. ALL of the dishes were perfectly seasoned, not overly spicy or salty at all, which I'm very sensitive about! Overall, the food was AMAZING and our waitress - Elena was "on point" with her recommendations! I would love to try more dishes too, if we have another chance to come back. MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS, Elena!!

We went for a lunch and I should have taken the rest of the day off after the nap I needed after eating here. We should have just split the nachos alone, never mind all ordering our own dishes after. Expansive menu with a little bit of everything catered to everyone's tastes. This isn't blow you away food, but the flavor and sheer size of the plates alone should make this a destination when looking for Hispanic food. I've driven by over the years and have always wondered. I'm so glad I took the chance and indulged. Check it out for an ample sized meal.
