Categories:
Burgers,
Chicken Wings,
Cheesesteaks
Neighbourhood: Ballantyne
Ohhh DD Peckers - the Wednesday night trivia SPOT. The owner, Justin, is a riot. This place has a dive feel with KILLER wings - just make sure you get them well done! NOM. Everything is good though - fried pickes, salads, cheese fries, you name…More »
2. Yiasou Greek Festival
Charlotte, NC 28203
Categories:
Local Flavor,
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Dilworth
First timer to the Greek Festival this year and I am so glad I went! Be warned, this place is PACKED. But it is so worth it.
The food is amazing, the atmosphere is lively, and there is plenty of people watching to do as you stuff your face with the…More »
3. The Loco Lime
Agree with others on the board. Food is great and really cheap. I'd even go so far as to say the taste is better than Cantina. But we've got the same waitress twice in a row and the service is very below average to say the least. It's a good…More »

Categories:
American (New),
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
This place is a win-win. Great food, good service, amazing prices. The music could use a little help but who cares!
I love this place. The food is fresh and they give you generous portions. One of the few healthy, cheap places to grab a quick…More »

Categories:
Diners,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Third Ward
Mattie's is a gem. If you take a moment and read the history behind it you will love it even more. Hard working people with good hearty food! The last time my boyfriend and I went we overheard Mattie himself say he had worked 14 hours the night…More »
6. Comet Grill
Great hole in the wall bar. The atmosphere is inviting and not your typical Charlotte cookie-cutter crowd. Places like this are the heart of Charlotte. You will not see any pink polos here! Go here if you are looking for a stiff pour and some…More »
7. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 348-1256
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Dilworth
By far one of my favorite places in Charlotte. My boyfriend and I go here at least twice a week and I am ashamed to admit that I actually have a Menchie's reward card (I received $5 free on my last visit!).
Not only are there amazing options for ice…More »
8. Amelie's French Bakery
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 376-1781
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: NoDa
What is there to say about Amelie's that you don't already know? It's the perfect place for a carafe of french press, a few pastries and some good ol' fashion people watching. Not to mention it's open 24 hours!
Bring your computer or a book and…More »

Charlotte, NC 28209
(704) 525-0881
Categories:
American (New),
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: South Park
This place is a 10. A perfect date night if you are comfortable enough to share a few small plates after seeing a movie at the Park Road Movie Theater.
This place really over-delivers. The service is impeccable, and the food is divine.
Understated,…More »

Seafood
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
It hurts me to give this place a 4 out of 5 stars. It really does. Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte.
That being said, the last two times I've been there I've made poor choices in ordering. I would recommend steering away from…More »

Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
I love this place so much that I almost don't want to give a review for fear of too many people finding out about this absolute gem of a restaurant.
The staff is one of a kind, the ambiance is like morphing out of Charlotte and into LA, and the food…More »

14. Diamond Restaurant
What is there to say really? Good food, really cheap prices, great service, fun atmosphere.
Would I wait an hour for a seat? Probably not. But I would definitely go
here a couple times a month.
I don't recommend it for groups over 4 people.... but…More »
15. Food Lion Inc-Store #2569
4.5 Stars!!
I am going to politely disagree with the gentleman who have reviewed this Food Lion before myself. Perhaps they have made some drastic changes since the last reviews... but I stopped here last night after work to stock up on some…More »
16. Cantina 1511
Cantina, Cantina...
This place is always a go-to if you want to go out and can't quite decide what you are in the mood for.
Be warned, this place is packed! A friend & I went last night for dinner (on a Tuesday) and had to wait for a seat. So we…More »
17. Thai Taste
I have a slight addiction to Thai Taste. And by slight I actually mean I could eat it every single day.
Nestled in a little corner off of East Blvd (attached to Paper Sky Scrapers) this is by far the best Thai place in Charlotte.
The food comes…More »
18. Smashburger
Cheap, delicious eats! Think a step above a Mccalisters with better food!
Don't fool yourself - this is a cheap burger joint. So for everyone out there who is expecting a gourmet burger and giving this place 2 stars why don't you come on back down…More »
19. Dean & Deluca Market Cafe
I regularly visit Dean & Deluca with friends for wine and sushi and I must say it's never let us down so far. You can find good wine at a reasonable price and the same goes for sushi.
I have yet to branch out and try their hot/cold food but I hear…More »

Table, table, table........ What is there not to love about this place?

Neighbourhood: South Park
Overall I don't really mind the cheesecake factory. I just think that if you're looking for a nice place to eat there are MUCH better options that something attached to the South Park Mall.
The wait is always atrocious and even when you do have…More »
22. Pio Pio
Hands down, this place rocks. It's usually the same two servers who are always friendly and on the ball. The food is authentic, the place is clean, rarely crowded, and the prices are cheap. What is there not to love here?
We usually get the…More »

Charlotte, NC 28207
(704) 332-1886
I should start with the disclaimer that we only got a drink here before a movie at Manor. But wow did we talk about this place for days after! We sat at the little bar in the front and talked to our waiter about movies and music and Charlotte. We…More »

3.5 Stars for me.
Mixed reviews of this place. I'm glad it's here. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is bright and lively. They have free wifi and a nice little space to use it in. Charlotte needs more places like this one, maybe with a…More »

My boyfriend got the infamous Pearl Latte and…More »
27. Zapata's Mexican Cantina
Ouch! Usually this would be at LEAST a 4-star review from me. When I worked in Cornelius I used to go to Zapatas a few times a week for what we liked to call "Mexican Therapy" lunches.
I was so excited when my (new) boss asked if we wanted to do a…More »

Categories:

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Lower Greenville
We came to Vickery on a recommendation from the employees at the Pearl Cup.
Vickery Park is a diamond in the rough. A dive bar in all its glory, Vickery is the place to go if you are looking for somewhere low-key with dim lighting, great food & drink…More »
29. Genghis Grill
What a treat! I have never been to any place like the Genghis Grill. I have to admit, the name and the outward appearance of this restaurant really made me not want to take that leap of faith - but I am glad I did! Not to mention it's great for…More »
30. Pinky's Westside Grill
This place is what I like to call FUNKY FRESH!
A true gem of Charlotte, with people from all walks of life and menu items that are more eccentric than the customers. Just to give you a little taste - menu items include everything from sriracha to…More »

It blows my mind that it has taken me this long to write a review of The Common Market. I have been frequenting this place for what feels like decades. Truly the only place of its kind in Charlotte. The Common Market is your eclectic…More »
