Que Onda Tacos + Tequila

★★★★☆ 4.1 (657) • $$

"This is my second time here and every time I come it blows my mind! The food is always seasoned and served hot and fresh! The service is fast and efficient. The staff took very good care of us. It's a cute space downtown with ample parking."

Eddie's Place

★★★★☆ 4.2 (568) • $$

"My wife and daughter selected Eddie's and so it's time for an update and upgrade. Not nearly as busy at 3pm on a weekday, we had very little wait. Food did not sit in the kitchen long before it was brought to us.Red bean nachos. Good but needed more cheese. Blackened salmon salad. Very good portion and presented nicely though it could use more dressing tossed through. And the corned beef reuben was assembled nicely with plenty of meat and cheese.I'm glad to return. This was a nice late lunch.[Review 342 of 2024 - 3593 in North Carolina - 21375 overall]"

Yunta Nikkei

★★★★★ 4.7 (427)

"YUNTA is an absolute gem, offering a unique blend of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine that takes dining to another level. The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the cocktails are equally impressive--beautifully crafted and delicious.Though it's a smaller spot and can be challenging to snag a table without a reservation, especially for groups, sitting at the bar is the way to go. The vibe is fun, casual, and perfect for soaking in the experience.This is one of those places you'll keep coming back to. If it were closer, I'd probably be here all the time! I highly recommend it for an unforgettable dining experience. Yucca tostones and ceviche are always great, & don't skip the sushi!"

37 SOL Southwest Kitchen and Tequila Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (548) • $$

"It was good. I had the cucumber margarita at the $7 happy hour price. I would have had another one if my server came back around. Then I had the tequila braised beef enchiladas. When delivered it looked like it had been sitting under the heat lamp, but it was good too. Unless you like "bowls", there isn't a lot to consider on the menu."

Chillfire Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (461) • $$

"We had an amazing meal at Chillfire. The service was great from the moment we entered until we left. Especially our waiter. The food came out fast and was delicious. The restaurant was beautiful. Restrooms were clean. Everything was perfect. I was afraid there would be a long wait given it was a weekend evening, but the restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. There were plenty of available tables and staff, even at 6 pm on a Saturday. We had the poutine appetizer which was very good. It was piled high with toppings and piping hot. I was a bit surprised that the fries seemed more like McDonald's fries than the ones cut in house but they were cooked nice and crispy and worked well with the gravy. For entrees I ordered the Oak Island, which was a 6 oz filet with scallops and side of creamed spinach. My husband ordered the prime rib that was one of the specials that day. He was going to order the queen cut but the waiter said it was only $4 difference for the king, so why not go big. He chose the potato hash as his side. Everything was delicious! The scallops were cooked perfectly, as was the filet. It had a perfect sear while still being a perfect medium through the center. The bacon vinaigrette was a perfect sauce, sweeter than I expected from a vinaigrette which I thought complimented the scallops well. The prime rib was a huge cut and cooked to be a perfect rare. I'm not usually one to order rare myself but being prime rib, it seems to be the way to go. I tried a few bites and it was very tasty. Especially with the au jus to dip it in. The potato hash was a great choice for fhe. The sauce was so creamy and the portion was huge. We both left miserably full but enjoyed every minute of it. I'm already planning my return trip!"

Calle Sol Latin Café & Cevicheria

★★★★★ 4.5 (377) • $$

"My husband and I had such a great first visit at Calle Sol! There have been many restaurants in this location (The Penguin, NC Red, and a few others), and we are hoping Calle Sol is here to stay.We started with beverages--a club soda with lime for me, and a No Name Mojito with passion fruit for my husband. The mojito was nicely balanced and not too sweet.We tried their Yuquitas de Queso as an appetizer. The yucca was very crispy, and the cheese inside with nicely melted. The green sauce they served it with was exceptionally good, and we used it with our entrees, too. For our entrees, I had the Vaca Frita, and my husband had the Lechon Asado. Both meats were tender, flavorful, and NOT overly salty (yay!). The rice and beans were perfect sides. Their portions are generous, and we were both able to take some of our meals home.Our server was very friendly and helpful. It got very busy when we were there, so another server jumped in to help remove our plates and bring our check. I like how they work to help each other out when busy!A note about parking--there are only a few spots directly in front of the restaurant, so you'll be lucky to get one of them. There's a public parking lot just down the street on Thomas (across from Dish), and street parking throughout Plaza Midwood. We ended up parking on the street near Supperland, a quick walk to Calle Sol. Just give yourself extra time to find a parking spot if you arrive during busier dining hours. We'll definitely be back!"

Thai House - University

★★★★☆ 3.7 (557) • $$

"I ordered uber eats from here tonight for the first time. I ordered "normal spicy " but extra sauce on the side to control my own spice because I've never ate there so I wasn't confident in their spicy levels. However, they didn't send the sauce and the pad Thai had little flavor with NO spice at all! I'm so upset. They do give you a good portion of food though and that is the only reason I didn't give a one star"

Verde Mexican Nuevo Latin Fusion

★★★★☆ 4.1 (449) • $$

"Let's get this out the way. $5 bottomless sangria. Now, before you get too excited, they aren't super strong (expected), but they are delicious.Now, the food to fuel your Sunday Funday.Fish tacos: 5/5Yes, yes, and yes. The reviews led me to the fish tacos and they did not disappoint. The tacos are full of tempura-flashed fish with veggies. I left satisfied.I was told that the steak and eggs were good.The place was pretty empty around 1:30pm. Definitely worth a visit!"

Napa on Providence

★★★★☆ 3.9 (459) • $$$

"We tried Napa on Providence for the first time and for the first night of Queens Feast. We went with the choices on the set menu. Great casual atmosphere, very warm & welcoming. Our server did an excellent job and took care of us. We will come again for their normal menu."

Camel City BBQ Factory

★★★★☆ 3.7 (504) • $$

"My friends took my wife and me to this must-go BBQ joint in downtown Winston-Salem. First of all, there is an arcade and some tables even have Nintendo games to play! That's awesome!My wife and I shared the 3 meat tray. Everything was phenomenal and we had enough for a 2nd meal.The ribs were my favorite as they fell off the bone and they had a sweet tangy red sauce. The pulled pork was next as it was what you would expect from North Carolina BBQ! I loved the vinegary sauce! The brisket was really good too as it had the same sauce as the ribs.For our sides, I loved the BBQ slaw. I never had a slaw like it and could not get enough of its BBQ vinegar base. The sweet potato casserole was phenomenal and made me feel like it was the holidays. We also got the 3 cheese mac and it was homemade casserole style. Slaw comes with the platter but I would have a hard time choosing between the sweet potato casserole and Mac and cheese.Sweet tea was extremely sweet but refreshing for this Bama Boy!Camel City is a must-go BBQ destination."

Dilworth Tasting Room

★★★★☆ 4.3 (372) • $$

"This is the OG location as the server put it and I've passed it so many times but never visited. This spot is very quaint and intimate and romantic. It can be a girls night out or a hot date and night cap. Ordered the olives and chips and everything is shareable over either wine or cocktails. They have been around a long time so the ambiance and service reflects that. We were immediately greeted and did not need reservations this particular evening so we were seated immediately. Spacious so you're not in your neighbors convo. Will return for sure."

Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (507) • $$

"We stopped by Jekyll and Hyde for a beer & appetizer one Saturday afternoon. It is a little outside the Matthews main drag and down the hill but worth the extra short walk! I really liked it here! They have a large beer selection with several taps featuring local beer. We ordered a chicken bacon ranch flatbread and it was really good! The toppings were piled high and drizzled with ranch as well as hot sauce. We really liked the flavors here. It was a tad difficult to eat with your hands, and I ended up taking a fork to it. I want to go back and try more things, will report back."

Havana Carolina Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (362) • $$

"Located in downtown Concord, Havana Carolina is worth a drive to experience Cuban food. Cocktails are a highlight along with a menu that includes traditional Cuban fare. The menu is varied enough to please a variety of diners. The Cubano picadillo and tamal en hoja were tasty but the tamale was somewhat oily and the picadillo was sparse on olives & raisins. Service was friendly. Note - the restaurant is currently more difficult to find due to road construction."

Hobo's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (488) • $$

"The fried fish sandwich is spectacular, and I think they have the best mac & cheese that I have ever tasted!"

Red Rocks Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (349) • $$

"My fiancé's grandpa is a regular patron at Red Rocks so anytime we are in town to visit we always make time to go to Red Rocks (they even have a burger named after him!) The servers are always so kind and friendly, and the ambiance is great for a family outing. We came in for brunch/lunch and we had a lovely time!"

Stagioni Four Seasons of Food

★★★★☆ 4 (325) • $$$

"Good food and great service! They make you order all your food at the beginning and they course it out for you. We shared the salad (really good), the pepperoni and sausage pizza (good), and the scallops with crab cakes entree (good). I wish we had tried a pasta dish as well for the full experience. The restaurant is dark so makes for a nice date place. There's a small parking area in front of the restaurant and a larger parking area behind the restaurant (by RuRu)."

Bernardin's Restaurant At Ratcliffe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (299) • $$$

"I met up with my girlfriends at Bernardin's for a birthday celebration, and the ambiance set the tone perfectly--intimate, moody, with soft music playing in the background.We started with a trio of appetizers to share: Duck Confit Spring Rolls - Duck confit, mushrooms, foie gras, cabbage & plum sauce Fried Calamari - Served with a spicy aioli Fried Brussels Sprouts - Fried garlic & shallots, bacon, Manchego, bourbon soy sauceThe duck confit spring rolls were definitely the standout for me, with the fried calamari coming in a close second. Both were flavorful and perfectly cooked.For my entrée, I went with the Chicken Fettuccini Carbonara (grilled chicken breast, sun-dried tomatoes, prosciutto, green chickpeas, mushrooms, and parmesan). I was craving pasta, and our waitress assured us the portions were generous--and she wasn't wrong. It hit the spot, and I even had leftovers to take home!As for drinks, I tried two cocktails: French Soixante Quinze (French 75) - Hendrick's Gin, champagne, lemon juice, simple syrup. This was my favorite--well-balanced and refreshing. Suite 100 - Vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, strawberry purée. It was decent but leaned a bit too tart for my taste.My girlfriends enjoyed their cocktails too: Blackberry Collins - Jack Daniels, muddled blackberries, lemon juice, simple syrup, soda water South Tryon Gimlet - Vodka, muddled fresh basil, simple syrup, lime juiceOverall, we had a great time celebrating, though nothing stood out enough to make me feel like I need to rush back. It was a pleasant experience, just not one I'd call unforgettable."

Que Fresa - Wesley Heights

★★★★★ 4.5 (224) • $$

"We went for national Margarita Day. We sat at the bar and had a couple house margs for $6 which were really good. Premade on tap. You can add any flavor as well. We got chips and salsa to start. I ordered the Cobb salad which was great for the price. I couldn't eat it all. We were sitting at the bar and both bartenders were really nice and attentive. One was giving me history on Mezcal and the other gave me a little sample of what that use with their frozen marg. We will definitely be back."

Drift On Lake Wylie

★★★★☆ 3.7 (308)

"I'll be the first to say, I came here when Drift first opened and was not impressed at all. However, I finally gave them another chance and I'm so glad I did! Brunch was delicious!! We had a few orders of oysters, french toast, salmon caesar salad, and lobster benedict. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was outstanding. Shoutout to Bill and his trainee, they worked so well together to make sure we had a great experience and you could tell they took a lot of pride in the service they gave. 10/10 all around. Will definitely be back!"

Queen Park Social

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (375) • $$

"My partner and I visited for an Offline promotion. We arrived for an early dinner on a Thursday. The place was mostly empty but there was a corporate party in the bowling area. We picked a table that was dirty and moved to the next one. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. We ordered a couple beers for $10 each, not a great start. Cocktail and wine were even higher price. The menu was a decent variety of pub style food, wings, burgers, dis. I ordered the variety platter with cauliflower buffalo bites, brisket sliders, and wings. The cauliflower bites were soggy, the brisket sliders barely had any meat, and the wings were ok.The server applied my promotion from Offline but entered the wrong amount so I had to have them change it, sigh. I tipped well but won't be back. Pins Mechanical and Dave and Busters are highly superior to this place.The place is all gray and boring, little art, no window treatments, no plants, no cool lighting. The bowling area looks like the only decently decorated spot. The other room is full of games with some interesting furniture."

New South Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (242) • $$

"Food and service was very good and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is also pleasing to the eye."

Go Burrito

★★★★☆ 4.1 (235) • $$

"I've already been back because it's THAT good. One complaint - they got rid of their Cheerwine slush machine. I was pretty upset when I noticed. I hope it's just getting fixed or replaced because it pairs so well with their burritos. I got a burrito this time and we got some queso and guac to share. You seriously can't go wrong. My friend got a burrito bowl and IT WAS MASSIVE."

Fish Market Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (298) • $$

"We made an early dinner RSVP at 5:30 pm, so were seated right away.This time I ordered their Korean BBQ Mahi Mahi, which came with Sweet Potatoes and Edamame...and all of it was really good! Very spicy too, of course, with the Gochujang sauce on the fish. My husband tried their Cajun Fried Snapper...and he loved his dish as well. I love how they changed up the menu since last time with many new, juicy seafood options.We got this complimentary bread with red-based sauce, which my husband loved. We also ordered a cup of She-Crab Soup again. We thought they were a bit too salty, but good. I also tried this Blueberry cocktail, which was good...but not sure if I'd get that again. Service was good as well. Our waitress kept things moving fairly easily...and even a manager stopped by our table to check on our meal.The thing that disappointed me was that the ambiance was off. Maybe because we came too early, but the place was still a tad too bright, even as we were leaving...and there was no overhead music. I remember they played really nice overhead last time we were here. Also, the A/C wasn't too strong, and it was a super-humid day.Overall, we really enjoyed our meals here...and I'm sure we'll be back."

The Corner Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (184) • $$

"Great service at this very small spot in Ayrsley that overlooks the movie theater. We arrived at dinner time on the way home from food shopping and popped in for a snack.I had a tin of beer, my wife had a mocktail which she said was excellent. Lots of options for non-alcoholic drinks here if that's your preference. A few minutes later, our order of fried cauliflower arrived. A little sticky with a sweet sauce but nice and spicy and very delicious. I'd have this again when I come here next time.[Review 2513 of 2024 - 3966 in North Carolina - 23525 overall]"

La Victoria

★★★★☆ 4.3 (184) • $$

"La Victoria is a lively upbeat Mexican restaurant in the heart of Ballantyne! We stopped by one night for dinner and had a great time. I ordered ACP Texano which is basically ACP with chicken, shrimp and steak. The shrimp were perfectly cooked but there was no queso on the plate at all. My favorite thing about ACP is all melty liquidy queso over the rice and chicken, but not in this case. The cheese was shredded cheese melted over top that just became hard as it sat. I asked for a side of queso to dump on top. The side of queso was tiny and more than $5 which I thought was a little steep for what it was.I enjoyed my margarita and they have a great beer selection as well. This particular night, they were setting up for live music as we were leaving. Bummer! Overall, a great neighborhood spot!"

Caswell Station

★★★★☆ 3.7 (229) • $$

"The food here is fantastic, and it's the perfect spot for watching games! With plenty of TVs around, the atmosphere was lively and everyone was having a great time. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which was ideal for us since we brought our two dogs while visiting the CLT area--I absolutely loved that!The menu offered a wide variety of options, and we were thrilled with our choices. We started with the dip trio, featuring hummus, tzatziki, and a delicious spinach and artichoke dip. I ordered a shrimp avocado salad that was fresh and flavorful, while my husband enjoyed a smash burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was delightful!Our server was incredibly kind--she even brought out a large water bowl and some treats for our pups, which made our experience even more special. We left feeling completely satisfied and would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!"

Crab Du Jour - Charlotte

★★★★☆ 3.9 (206) • $$

"Got takeaway seafood boil with 1/2 lb of snow crab, sausage and head-off shrimp with medium cajun garlic butter sauce. I paid a little under $40; I don't know how much these things typically cost but I didn't feel cheated.My order was prepared in under 10 minutes. The afternoon that I went in, there were several full tables of big parties enjoying their meals. The host was pleasant and efficient, as well as the cashier. No complaints with the service.Once home, I grabbed my salt shaker before I sat down to eat and quickly realized I wouldn't need it--the sauce was more flavorful than I was expecting. If you're salt-sensitive, the sauce I selected is NOT for you. I enjoyed it because I think shellfish needs it. And I would rather have salty-ish food than bland food.I do wish that the potatoes and corn (both free) were cooked in the sauce but other than that, I enjoyed the meal and will come back when I'm craving seafood again."

Dooleys

★★★★☆ 4 (193) • $$

"What a delicious spot!My husband and I both opted for the hangman's rare roast beef. I got the small and he got the large. The small is about the size of a burger and the large is HUGE!!! My husband eats all and he could only finish half! The horseradish is delicious and the roast beef is tender and so fresh. I loved the French fries, which have to be hand cut! The little girls loved their hotdogs and were asking for seconds.The environment is casual, laidback, bar type environment with indoor and outdoor seating. Kid friendly! Our waiter was so kind and helpful! Definitely a must visit while in wilkesboro."

Cafe Rule & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (199) • $$$

"Getting our food was slow but our waiter was super great and kept checking in with us! We started out with yeast rolls and oh my YUM. I had a cranberry mule that was delicious. For our entrees my husband had a filet and sweet potato which he said was great. I was recommended the Snapper by our waiter. I expected a piece of snapper on a plate but no it was an entire experience! The snapper came in a bowl with chorizo, cornbread pieces, clams, some things I am not sure what it was but was delicious, topped with fried leak pieces and the waiter poured a broth over. Oh. My. Goodness. It was delicious. We will definitely be back! Such a cute spot for hickory!"

The Salty Caper

★★★★☆ 4.1 (172) • $$

"For a pizza place, the beer was damn good. The pizza wasn't as good as I was hoping for: the crust was great, but there wasn't much in terms of toppings (I got the four cheese topping pizza, and I liked the mix, but it maybe covered a third to two/fifths of the pizza).I'm not a big fan of the restaurant itself, either. It was claustrophobic, and the wooden chairs are not comfortable on - well - your butt.I might try it again, although probably not unless the friend I was with wants to go there again; she liked it more than me, so I just smiled and said it was great. I really did like the beer thought - that was exceptional."

The Bella Ciao

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (256) • $$

"First time here after the previous rebranding of the past restaurant. We booked a reservation for a Friday night and was seated fairly quick. There was plenty of seating but not a huge fan of the low table that we were sat at. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. No issues there. We ordered the carbonara and Alfredo pasta. I'm big on saucy pasta so I'm happy about that. You can tell that the pasta was made fresh and al dente (it was slightly chewy). For drinks we ordered the Tiramisu martini and boy let me tell you... they were made strong. Overall I would say we had a good experience."

"Came here with some friends for a lunch. They were busy but we were lucky enough to find a table. The food is good and pretty unique imo. It wasn't just regular burgers. They were well made with fresh toppings. Our server was great! I wish the parking situation was better! We had to park across the street behind another business."
