Where's the Beef?
See All Lists
1. Fern
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 377-1825
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
New veggie lovers' spot, Fern, has a wonderful rustic vibe and comfortable feel with a big patio outside and an expanded interior (they must be doing something right!) I love their mason jar chandelier!
But the real treat is in their inventive menu,…More »
2. Meskerem
So I'm not an Ethiopian expert. In fact I've not been anywhere but Meskerem and some street vendors here and there. But their vegetarian spicy lentils (I'm pretty sure it's the Miser Wat, but could have been Miser Alecha) are to die for (5/5). But I…More »
3. Energy Cafe
Charlotte, NC 28202
(980) 355-0240
Categories:
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Uptown
I've been here several times for lunch to get wraps, salads, etc but my favorite is the protein packed Arnold which has egg whites, chicken, turkey bacon, avocado, etc but I get w/o cheese. It is really good, especially combined with an Alo drink…More »
4. Zoes Kitchen
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 347-5858
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Vegetarian,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Myers Park
I like the analogy that Zoës Kitchen is a greek version of Panera and great standby for those days we don't want to cook but want something quick and healthy. The service is always friendly and they have a very busy bustling lunch but they cycle…More »
5. Ru San's
Rusan's is an old friend. No seriously, I used to go there 2+ times per week and I was the Norm of Cheers. But a move put me further away from it so I'm not as regular as I once was. While Rusan doesn't come by anymore, the owners Kim & Hata have…More »
6. Lang Van Vietnamese
I think you've gotten to know Lang Van from the other reviews. To sum up: owner with freakishly amazing memory, clean, casual, giant menu, eager service. Scared of Vietnamese? don't be.
I was inspired to write this review because I found a new menu…More »
7. Savor Cafe & Catering
This is a cute little neighborhood spot in Wesley Heights (When on earth is Yelp going to figure out it's right next to downtown, not Steele Creek, 8 miles south?) that did so well with their lunch service that they expanded to dinner service…More »
8. Pinky's Westside Grill
I have waited to post a review of Pinky's to give it a fair shake. I'm a Westside townie, so I wanted to let them work out some kinks and try some stuff before I posted.
I'm glad I did because the first couple things I ordered were not as good as…More »
9. Coco Osteria
I have been to Coco Osteria countless times for lunch and a few times for dinner. It's a small, quaint urban ristorante that treats you and your stomach well.
At lunch they typically start you off with bread and delicious cannelini beans +…More »
10. Roots Farm Food
Roots is deliciousness on wheels. They offer delicious locally-sourced food to uptown lunch goers from their truck every weekday until 1 at 3rd and Tryon and I've managed to track them down some dinners at Chow Down food truck rallies and elsewhere.…More »

Very Veggitastic (12)Top picks when I'm seeking no animal products. Some standouts and standbys: black bean burger at Burger Co, Miser Wat from Meskerem, hummus and baba ghanoush from Kabob Grill and veggie options from Roots Farm Food truck.If on the road, love Neo Burrito in Asheville and Melanie's in Boone. |
Rollin Rollin Rollin (4)Food trucks in the QC |
Queen City dines Around the World (10)Some of my favorite (4 stars+) international restaurants in CLT! All we need now is some Daft Punk bumping Around the World! |
Queen City Cupcakes (8)My list of various places to get cupcakes. I can't say that one place is necessarily the go-to place to get a little morsel of glycemic bliss, but it depends on the flavor. My top 4:Devil's Food Chocolate (or any chocolate one) from Sunflour, 'Smores from EK Cakes, Lemon Raspberry from Tizzerts and Apple Cinnamon from Polka Dot. Cupcrazed review coming soon. |
Where to Lay Your Head (5)Here are a few places I like to hide out from the Po Pos when I'm laying low. |
Who called me HM? (7)My list of places to get pampered, polished, plucked, painted and petted. That sounds dirty. But it's not. Why a painter? Because I'm too HM to do it myself. |
Appalachian Adds (5)My faves in Asheville and around the Appalachian mtns! |
Beady Little Jewelry (4)List of some bead shops across NC |
Well helllloo! (7)Top picks for date night |
