Mmmm Brixx. A wee bit overpriced? Yes. Great location on East Blvd.? Yes. Tasty, creative pizzas? Yes, indeed.
Brixx is the perfect little lunch spot, IMO. Hubs and I frequent this Dilworth location for a quick tasty lunch on their pretty patio. I'm…More »

Still drool worthy, always solid and super friendly service...this is Savor Cafe.

Southern
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
Good fried chicken - no big shock there. This place has been a Charlotte staple for eons.

7. Vietnam Grille
I haven't had Vietnamese food in quite some time...we're talking years here so I was really excited when a friend wanted to meet up at Vietnam Grille. He mentioned that he (quite literally) eats here four or five times per week...I can see why!

Anywho, Terrace Cafe, a…More »
12. Basil
Will I pay $15 for Pad Thai? Why, yes, yes I will, because it's that good at Basil. When I moved to the Queen City a few years ago, I had a hard time finding really delicious Thai food. I tried a few local favorites but I was never impressed. In…More »
13. Midtown Sundries - CLOSED
I love me a restaurant with a view - and Midtown Sundries certainly offers a gorgeous view of the lake.
