Sandwiches,
American (Traditional)
Living so close to Fran's has it's advantages. Oh how I love this place.
The sandwiches and salads are great here for lunch but the dinners are what stands out more. I've had the crab cakes, a chicken dish, the meat loaf and several meals and I…More »

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
I've been to Foskoskies a few times and everything has always been wonderful here. The food is artfully displayed and it tastes even better. Twice I've been here with the QC Dinner Group (look for it on Meetup)
I've had the duck, the pork chop and a…More »
3. Dish
Dish has been one of my favorite restaurants ever since they opened for many reasons. They are a good place to get a good meal at a decent price. The food is always good here. The clientele is as interesting as the food.
Some of the highlights…More »
4. Jake's Good Eats
This restaurant has been popular since appearing on the Food Network show, "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives".
A couple of things to consider before heading here. It sits outside of I-485. The restaurant does not take reservations and if you are…More »
5. Portofino's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria
I first tried this Portofino's years ago and am glad they now have multiple locations and have upgraded their decor but this is the location i still keep coming back to.
The pizza alone is one of the best Italian Pie's in Charlotte...good sauce, good…More »

I've been looking to explore restaurants in the Plaza/Midwood area and heard good things about this place so a friend and I decided to try it out.
The location is great. It has an indoor bar and table seating, an outdoor street level patio and an…More »
7. Savor Cafe & Catering
I really wanted to give Savor Cafe 5 stars but while the food was wonderful, there were some issues with the service. First, we had to ask for silverware for 6 of the 8 of us. I won't fault them on running out of the beer I originally ordered. It…More »
8. Siam Garden Thai Restaurant
I had planned on hitting another Thai place today for lunch but due to traffic on Arrowood Rd we went right instead of fighting traffic and decided to give Siam Garden another try.
Unfortunately, all the reasons why I had stayed away became evident…More »

9. Fiamma
i was reading the previous reviews and i can't understand how some people rated Fiamma so low.
At the recommendation of one of my dinner group's members, we scheduled a dinner here. I had previously heard great things about Fiamma and I came away…More »
10. Wan Fu
I just visited today and had to update my rating. They get bumped up to 5 stars.
I'm recovering from some oral surgery and figured Chinese would be a good soft option for lunch today. Plus I was craving hot and sour soup.
The staff is wonderful here,…More »

11. Kabuto Japanese Steak House
The food was good but I'm giving them 3 stars instead of 4 because of the entertainment factor.
At a Japanese steakhouse, I expect to be entertained by the chef but I heard more fun at other tables than ours. He seemed like a young guy and maybe not…More »
12. Waldhorn Restaurant
One of my favorite lunch spots and an occassional dinner spot. For dinner, the pretzel rolls are to die for. Occassionally you'll see them with a sandwich for lunch.
Like any german restaurant, you can find your share of Schnitzels and sausages,…More »

I had been to Woodlands once before tonight but it was years ago so I didn't remember much about it.
Tonight was with one of my dinner groups and we were all basically in the same boat, we didn't know what to order. So we started ordering a little…More »

Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
Went here with the QC Dinner Group (an eclectic and fun foodie group). We had a group of 12 people.

Categories:
American (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
This is one of Charlotte's hidden gems.
It's not the easiest place to find and it's not the easiest place to park near since there are restrictions on parking on the street depending on the time of day. But it's nice to see history preserved in this…More »
17. Mellow Mushroom
Charlotte, NC 28209
(704) 966-7499
Categories:
Pizza,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Myers Park
The food was great. You can configure your pizza or calzone to your personal tastes...mine was jerk chicken, roma tomatoes, onions and broccoli. The dough is different than anything else I've tasted. It almost tastes like pretzel dough.
The only…More »

Categories:
French,
Bakeries,
Breakfast & Brunch

I came here for brunch and left feeling a little underwhelmed with the food. The other people at my table seemed satisfied with their meals but mine came out unappealing.
I ordered the smoked ham crepes. I guess maybe I was expecting real ham and…More »

Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 601-4141
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Brazilian
Neighbourhood: Uptown
Chima is a place for Carnivores to go crazy but it also has a great salad bar with lots of options to make it vegetarian friendly.
But beware...bring your appetite and plan on not eating another bite for 3 days afterwards.
I asked my friends to roll…More »

This is a great mix of Asian flavors from Malaysian, Chinese, and Japanese. Everything if fresh and flavorful. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Our group never had to wait for anything.
The dishes that came out of the kitchen looked…More »
22. Boudreaux's Louisiana Kitchen
I've never really been a cajun fan because I don't like crawfish and I'm not really a fan of beans and rice (see my latin and asian reviews). Thankfully my idea that all cajun food contains these is misguided.
On my last visit to Boudreaux's with…More »
23. Miro Spanish Grill
Miro is located in the Stonecrest shopping center.
The inside of the restaurant is rather plain and judging from it you'd never guess you were in for a treat(s) of a Spanish flair.
One of my dinner groups met here tonight. The staff was very…More »

Finally made it to the Cowfish with my dinner group and I was not disappointed. This is a interesting concept for a restaurant. Burgers and Sushi. Who would have thought that such a combination would be so popular. The place was packed on a…More »

Finally made it to Vivace with the dinner group and had a wonderful experience.
First off, I love the atmosphere. The decor features huge orange-ish chandeliers, wooden panels on the wall above the kitchen, wine cabinets on the opposite wall from the…More »

Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 567-2359
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Eastland
It's been so long since I've been here that I forgot how huge the portions are. The dinner group met here for a culinary trip to Mexico because this place consistently gets reviewed as one of the best Mexican restaurants in Charlotte. And I have to…More »
29. Koishi Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Charlotte, NC 28263
(704) 442-9886
For an old pizza hut building, they really did a nice job inside to convert the space into a classy asian restaurant.
There's a sushi bar just inside the door facing the kitchen, booths on either sides and a few tables in the middle.
The dinner group…More »

Categories:
Cajun/Creole,
Jazz & Blues
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
Can you believe it took me 20 years of living in Charlotte before I tried the Cajun Queen? I guess i have preconceived notions as to what Cajun food is like crawfish, beans, rice which are typically things I don't go for.
Yeah, I was wrong. Not…More »

(704) 549-0050
Category:

Neighbourhood: University City
The dinner group ended up in the University area last night at Firewater. The place used to be Lava Bistro and the inside of the place really hasn't changed much except for maybe a paint job.
There were 10 of us for dinner and we were assigned to…More »
