    chicken wings in a basket
    Chantel B.

    Cool little vibe on a Friday evening. The music was good. The food was just alright. I wish the salmon bites had a little more flavor. Wings were decent. Service was a little slow. I would come back though.

    Came here with a large group of friends for a Saturday brunch, the week they opened because my close friend recommended them. I was a little hesitant at first because I hadn't heard anything about this place opening up and just wasn't sure what to expect. First of all the space is so cute and new! They have a large outdoor patio area with comfy seating and umbrellas. We had a larger corner area to hang out and eat in. We ordered hookah, mimosa and brunch. Our food was really good! I ordered the chicken and waffles and thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't recall coming up for air while eating LOL. The mimosas were perfect, the hookah and hookah service was fantastic. But I absolutely have to give a big thank you to our amazing and gorgeous server Ariyanna! She was working so hard in the heat and she never missed a thing. Such a sweetie and just amazing service for our large group on a busy Saturday. Kudos to their entire team, we really had a wonderful time! Great spot to come chill out and vibe!

    First time visiting WET for brunch after hearing from a few friends the brunch is good. I've come to WET a few times for events so I was looking forward to their brunch. I didn't expect to see the same ladies who wear booty shorts during club hours also be the ladies handling brunch at 1pm in the afternoon. We walk in and sat outside it was a beautiful and WET nice outside seating. The ladies/staff were smoking hookah so took a few minutes to get acknowledged. One of the ladies come over and give us 1 menu for a table of 6 people. Not a big deal maybe they were low on menus but there was only 2 people at another table. No biggie though we were ready for drinks and it's brunch time so mimosas. They I believe have Prosecco on tap but they mentioned they sold mimosa towers so based on cost per glass it made sense to get the tower. Tower was filled with ice which I've never had a tower with ice and wasn't good very watery to us. We were going to order a bottle on the side to top off our glasses from the tower but paying $200+ for champagne seemed excessive so we declined. We didn't get to order any food so I would love to come back. Reason being some folks in the group felt some disrespect because our waitress came to the table and took the single but never asked if we wanted to order food. She literally didn't come back. The hookah staff came by 2-3 times but waitress did not. We eventually walked over asked for the bill and left. Very cool spot & location. I really enjoyed this location during the evening events I've attended a few times but will come back again to try the food I've heard great things about. Hopefully different staff.

    Probably didn't experience this place at the right time. Came here on a Sunday for brunch and it still had a heavy weed smell from Saturday night. We were the only ones in the place for an hour and we had to ask for water after 10 minutes. We ordered a veggie omelette and a three meat omelette. Unfortunately being the first customers of the day they were out of half the veggies already. My wife's omelette was also burnt. This place would probably be better sticking to the club vibe instead of trying to do brunch.

    I came for brunch and it was a nice vibe. You have options for a section, and regular seating. Nice outside patio. It was extremely hot when we went but they had umbrellas in the section. Air conditioning inside. It is black owned. They don't hit you over the head with prices so that's a plus. Arianna was the best server/ bartender. Super nice. She was busy but still managed to bring us what we needed. They did have hookah on Saturday not sure about during the week. I'll definitely be back. Food was good. I had the meat lovers omelette.

    Amazing place!!!! Definitely returning!…read more Food 5 stars Customer service 5 stars Super clean establishment. Food was outstanding. Employees were very upbeat, friendly and genuinely happy to be there. Not used to that, but I'll take it! We ordered the following: Loaded breakfast tots - yummy goodness Smokeshow- amazingly Flavorful and delicious. Almost decadent. Short stack pancakes - very good No complaints

    Really disappointed with this restaurant. The fundamental issue is that I thought the biscuits were…read moretoo dense and not light and fluffy like I prefer. The entire meal was disappointing. I know I made it look very pretty in my photos, but don't be fooled. Here is the complete review. We found the green tomatoes bland and appeared to have been frozen before being prepared. The "Gravy Train" with the mini biscuit was inedible. The gravy itself was OK. Nothing special, not one of the three were "great." But the mini biscuits were terrible, hard, dense chunks of dough. I ate one of them and discarded the rest. The "Chicken Ditch the Waffle" was equally terrible. Whatever they did to turn the biscuit into "fake" French toast is a 100% fail. They were as dense and unappealing as the mini biscuits. The chicken itself was fine. If I was only rating the chicken I'd probably give it a 3.5. The best dish was actually the "GOAT." It was served with a Standard biscuit which we thought was still too dense and dry. I recommend finding an independent restaurant that serves real, "from scratch" food. I should point out that the service crew in the dining room who delivered the food as well as provided cleanup and assistance, were exceptional. They were friendly, courteous, and focused on customer service. I'm sure they deserve more than they are being paid. It was obvious many of them were spanish-speaking immigrants. Not everyone in the restaurant treated them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. Here's the detail of our order from their menu. GRAVY TRAIN mini biscuits with samples of our gravies: sausage, mushroom, and smoked gouda mornay 9.25 FRIED GREEN TOMATOES O hand-breaded and served with ranch or pimento cheese (+1) 8.5 CHICK 'N DITCH THE WAFFLE we've ditched the waffle and replaced it with our biscuit-style french toast with a buttermilk fried chicken breast and Mike's Hot Honey 13.25 THE G.O.A.T. buttermilk fried chicken breast, sweet pepper jelly, goat cheese 12.25 DARK & SPICY BLOODY MARY poblano-tomato mix, vodka, garnish 11.25 (Overpriced and underwhelming)

    After many visits over the years, Ruby Sunshine has officially taken the top spot as my husband's…read moreand my favorite breakfast place in Charlotte. Their menu is vast and varied. They even have a "Dietary Preference" menu (look for it online), with keto, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. Some servers aren't aware of this menu, but they will see it in their Toast device if they look for it. We have landed on a couple of favorite dishes that are repeats for us. I like the Spanish Omelet keto-style. Instead of a biscuit and grits, you get a half of an avocado (sliced) and a roasted tomato. The omelet is always full of flavor, and I love it. My husband's favorite is their White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes, with bacon ($2 extra). Don't let the name deter you--these pancakes aren't too thick. They are slightly chewy, and the white chocolate whiskey sauce is amazing. He rarely uses the syrup! Ruby's coffee is always good and strong, and their service is great, no matter who you get. I'm already thinking of when we will return next!

The service is always fast and friendly, and of course, the food is good! I started with the fried green tomatoes, and they were easily the highlight of the meal. They were fried so well and topped with bacon, tomato, lettuce, and a tasty remoulade. I'm still thinking about them honestly! For my entrée, I ordered the 3 Little Pigs Omelet. Unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming. It was smaller than I expected and didn't really resemble an omelet. It was a little messy and slightly runny for my taste. On the side, I added a single pancake and a bowl of grits, both of which were delicious though. I had a good experience and will definitely be back. I just wish the omelet had been prepared a little better.

    Aesthetic: Chill waffle, biscuit and grits spot…read more What to try: Make your own waffle or biscuit! Service: Attentive Parking: Limited Rating: 5/5, The food is excellent. We loved the make your own waffle and biscuit options. My husband made his cornbread waffle with fried chicken, eggs, pimiento and bacon jam, and I made my biscuit with fried chicken, eggs, arugula, gravy, and pecan crumble. Both were delicious, I can't wait to go back and try another combo. However, they are massive so definitely shareable if you just do one or take half home for dinner. The portions are truly generous!

    I'll admit it. I lowered my expectations when I walked in. The restaurant has more of a dive feel…read morethan I expected. It's small, you order cafeteria style before being seated, you seat yourself, and it can get a little noisy. We visited on a Sunday around 2:10 p.m., and there were still plenty of tables available. Then I tasted the food. The menu is built around customization. You can build your own waffle by choosing your waffle, meat, toppings, and sauce. Or build your own biscuit or grit bowl the same way. There are enough combinations that you could come back several times and order something different each visit. I ordered the Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle. It comes with crispy fried chicken, a red velvet waffle, cream cheese drizzle, syrup, and cinnamon butter. The chicken was crispy and juicy, although a few bites were a little salty. Not every bite, and the syrup balanced it out nicely. The cinnamon butter was a nice touch. However the waffles literally disintegrated under the chi My daughter ordered the Crab Cake Benedict Biscuit, and we shared it. It comes with a crab cake, sunny side up eggs, arugula, spinach, and hollandaise on a flaky biscuit. We also shared an order of Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Both were delicious, and the portions were generous enough that we still had leftovers to take home. One thing I liked was the variety of toppings and sauces. I had never heard of bacon jam before seeing it on the menu. If you like to customize your food, you'll have fun here. I came in expecting average and left planning my next visit. Must order: Crab Cake Benedict Biscuit, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Tip: Don't skip the build-your-own options. There are enough combinations to create something every body likes.
