Sorry that they cannot control the availability of parking, so drop your party off to get in line and then have your own adventure in parking. It's a bar, but a very nice, clean bar, a super menu, daily specials for drinks and food and a nice chummy atmosphere to enjoy. Prices are reasonable and service spot-on. Maryrose took us on for lunch and kept the iced tea flowing. Wife had lunch nachos ($9.95), which were OK, but needed more cheese. We did take some home, but with the sour cream in it did not make it appetizing any more. I had a combination chile and half BLT ($10.25) which was excellent. The BLT was lunch enough for me, so I took the chile home for later. The side o'day was fried okra and we loved it ($4) and paid the extra $.40 for their excellent ranch dressing. Come at other than prime times for lunch and dinner. Benches outside are because it is a very popular place and you will warm those benches if you hit busy times.

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.

Introduced another couple to this rather new Waxhaw eatery. Made a reservation by phone, because…read moretheir web site "reservations" link does not work. Not too crowded on this Sunday night with rainy weather, so were seated right away. Very nice and interesting menu. A lot of work went into developing it and they created many special names for sides. You will see. I had the blackened redfish entree ($25) and it was a very large portion of fish and the funny shrimp in rice side was pretty blah, though the fresh green beans were excellent. Won't order this entree again. Wife had a pecan crusted chicken salad ($15) that was a hamburger- sized patty of breaded chicken cut into strips, accompanied by a heap of lettuce mix. Pretty basic and wife tired of the "salad" quickly. Other couple had an appetizer of Fried Calamari ($16) along with a bowl of Tomato Bisque ($7). All of us loved the tomato bisque and recommend it. The calamari was over cooked/over fried with the smaller pieces hard enough to break a tooth and the larger pieces not much fun to eat. Kitchen needs to look at this, unless this is standard product. Wife had the Our Cuban sandwich ($13) which was exactly what a slushed Cuban should be, with smoked pork, ham, swiss cheese, topped with spicy mustard and pickles. All in a nice Telera roll, which was soft enough so that biting into the sandwich did not force the contents out the back of the sandwich on to the plate. She loved it. Yes we all split two desserts, an apple cobbler ($9) and a root beer float ($8). There is a nice beverage/libations menu and we ask you to pay attention to the prices. The wines have a small portion, a larger portion and bottle prices. I had a large glass of the Language of Yes Cuvée Sinsó, red blend at $22. Wife had a large glass of Ghostrunner Ungrafted Red Blend at $14 and the other wife had a large glass of Robert Mondavi Private Selection, Cabernet Sauvignon at $26. We felt the prices were very steep, but simply recommend that you look closely at the prices for each beverage you order so you will not be surprised at the cost. All said, Sip and Cinder is a good place to go. You will like the semi-casual atmosphere and clever menu. We will be returning.

Stopped in for a midweek lunch after they'd been open for a few weeks. Noticed my Yelp pal Mitch K…read morehad visited and gave a good review so in we sauntered. Nice redo of a basic box restaurant as we were promptly greeted, seated, and served. Ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, and lunch-size portion of mussels, and a Beef on a Weck sandwich with collard greens. The wine, the service, the mussels, and the collards were all very good. The Weck, however, did not live up to it's billng. Having grown up on 'em and made a few mean ones myself, this sammie is a basic French Dip with a sprinkle of caraway seeds. A proper Weck (i.e. Kimmelweck) is an egg washed Kaiser roll topped with lots of toasted caraway seeds and coarse sea salt, the beef is thinly sliced, medium rare beef (not thick, grey deli beef), and the horseradish is smeared on the beef vs. served on the side. Really not that good. Sip & Cider have a great location, an interesting menu, and plenty of space to be great. Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter heading back soon for another visit. Support local.

The last two times I've been to Jekyll & Hyde were elite for completely different reasons…read more Second‑to‑last visit, we'd been having way too much fun wandering around Waxhaw and fully lost track of time. Like, "how is it this late?" energy. We rolled into Jekyll & Hyde expecting the bare minimum--and instead got a staff that was still upbeat, friendly, and actually excited to help us pick food. Everything came out fresh and delicious, which honestly felt like a small miracle given how late it was. Then we went back on St. Patrick's Day, aka controlled chaos. The place was slammed, but the bartenders were absolute pros--friendly, fast, and somehow still smiling. They even had Irish dancers, which took the night from "fun" to "this is why we came out." Both visits were a blast. Whether you accidentally wander in late or show up for a full holiday circus, Jekyll & Hyde delivers good vibes and a good time.

The bad - the burger was gray, thin like a McDonald's patty and had absolutely no flavor. The buns are not toasted and it was not soft on top it was a little tap on it made a sound. The onion rings def need to be eaten hot. Once they cool they have no flavor. These must be from a bag. They were to uniform in size and shape. Chicken tenders did not seem to be hand breaded. Again too uniform in size and shape. The location is hidden behind other establishments so don't even know it's there unless exploring the new out buildings in the area. I wish the owners well.

It was Sunday and we went for a late meal at 1pm. Lucky we were to get a table as groups of 5 and 7 people followed us inside. Menu was breakfast and lunch. Bloody Mary specials were on for $6 each. And they were spicy and very good. Wife had a meatball parm hero ($13) which was about six bigger-than-golf-ball sized meatballs on soft hoogie rolls, sauced with marinara. It came with a choice of sides and she opted for a side salad with ranch dressing. She ate it all and I just loved the authentic tasting ranch dressing. I ordered their Italian Omlette ($14) and it was at least a three-egger stuffed with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto and Italian sausage. It was soooo good. Sides were offered and I went with those stupid fried potato cubes, which I did not eat. The owner would avoid having to throw out those oil balls by serving hash browns. Just my opinion. Other sides were available. When we were ready to leave there were, really!, not any employees around. I got up and went to the bar and the bartender ran the credit card and we were off. I cannot imagine why the hostess and all the servers were absent. Queen's South has promise. Good pizzas and other foods that are well done. Please give these guys a visit.
