Moo & Brew

★★★★☆ 4 (518) • $$

"I don't think I have ever had a bad experience at this place and today was no except. The waitress was great and fun. She got everything perfect. She was fun and engaging. The only thing that has ever bothered me is the smell. I don't know what the cleaning products are. I think it's the floor cleaner is bad. I've tried eating outside but I hate smokers as you would know if you've read a review from me. I don't know if they allow smoking but I have asthma and I can't breathe if some someone smokes near me. People are rude and if they smoke they don't care if you can breathe. It's nice on the patio and Central Ave is crowded traffic and noise but if that's ok you will enjoy this place. I would suggest you go. It's great and the Bison is the best in Charlotte."

Duckworth's Grill & Taphouse Rea Farms

★★★★☆ 3.9 (334) • $$

"Duckworth's Grill is "WORTHY" of your visit and we are certainly coming back to explore more of this awesome menu. The restaurant has plenty of seating and the restaurant was packed. That is a good sign to how good the food is. We had fried pickles for an appetizer and they might be the best I have ever eaten.Check out the pictures of the delicious chicken fajitas that I devoured and my wonderful wife enjoyed the chicken breast with broccoli and a side of sweet potato fries. If you want to quench your hunger in a hurry I highly recommend Duckworth's. God bless all my fellow foodies Always."

Twisted Oak American Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (307) • $$

"Came at a weird time so there were not a lot of people and we were seated right away and given menus. I wasn't going to get a drink but was curious because of how insane their bar looked. Their whiskey and bourbon menu is incredible if that's you're thing. Very large menu of cans, bottles, taps, and mixed drinks. Went for the fried green tomatoes for the app this time. Wasn't crazy about the idea when ordering because I don't normally like tomatoes but these were actually delicious. Had to stop myself from literally scraping the plate. I ordered the short rib sandwich and the meat was so tender, I just wish it had more of the horseradish sauce on it. Sidewinder chips are a must have for a side, crispy but fluffy and delicious. They even have an outdoor seating area with a large fireplace if it's a nice night. Give them a shot, but avoid peak hours as I've had to wait for a while before."

Craft Tasting Room and Growler Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (235) • $$

"I love this place, it's a great spot to grab a couple drinks & light bites before a panthers or Charlotte fc game. The charcuterie board was the perfect snack and actually really filling. The draft cocktails are STUHHRRRONGG. And I'm not complaining lol I had the strawberry mint julep special and I was one & done! If you're around on Wednesdays, I'd recommend visiting for half off charcuterie boards. The restaurant attached, Lincoln Street, is a great spot, too, with an awesome rooftop. Highly recommend both spots for light bites and delicious drinks. Their bev director, Amanda, is top tier!"

Legion Brewing Plaza Midwood

★★★★☆ 4.4 (201) • $$

"Super cozy brewery with friendly service and great eclectic pub grub. Stopped in unexpectedly on a chilly Friday evening and had a wonderful experience. Sat at the bar and had a fun time learning about all their different beer offerings; bartenders were fantastic and super friendly. Enjoyed a few beers, the chopped salad with chicken, a flatbread and the giant pretzel; everything was delicious and my salad was crisp and fresh. Paired nicely with the beer however I don't remember which one I had (it was comparable to a Blue Moon). Also ordered the sweet potato app/side and they were unfortunately soft, soggy and flavorless; didn't even eat them after sampling and the bartender took the item off our bill which was a very nice gesture and also added that it wasn't their most popular menu item. All in all an enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend."

Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint

★★★★☆ 4.3 (209) • $$

"I love this place when I visit Charlotte. The sticky nugs are the BEST. I heard they were not going to have them next month. They are missing the boat. People come for the sticky nugs (and great beer selection)."

Tipsy'z Tavern & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (209) • $$

"Me and several of my friends went to Tipsy'z today, and it didn't disappoint. We had a rather large group, so we sat outside. The servers were great, and one of them was new. You couldn't tell that. They took great care of our whole table. The food was delicious! I got the Blue Cheese Burger and the Brussel Sprouts. Both were absolutely delicious. I especially loved the Brussel Sprouts. A lot of our group got the TAC.I've never been here before, but I will definitely go again. The only thing that is maybe bad is the parking lot, but I just parked in the coffee shop parking lot."

Azul Tacos And Beer

★★★★★ 4.6 (166) • $$

"If you are looking for authentic Mexican, this is the place!Upon arrival, I absolutely love the outside of the building. They unfortunately did not look like they were handicap accessible. (I could be wrong) I only saw steps leading up to the front door.Once you enter, you see the open atmosphere the bar, the kitchen, and in the back is where you order. You look over the menu and make your decisions. I would definitely choose this place again if ever in Charlotte because they are authentic! My partner and I got the steak California burrito and it was HUGE!! Definitely could have shared. It was so full of rice and french fries and steak. It definitely is worth the price.I had the Quesa Birria burrito and just like the California it was packed with birria, rice, beans etc. (another one we definitely could have shared). We finally then got 2 Steak street tacos and those were absolutely delicious. The food was absolutely amazing. I cannot speak more to that.As far as the service goes, we received our food within 5 minutes (definitely not more than 8) it was pretty fast. you pretty much order your food and that's the most interaction that you have until you are leaving and they come and clean up your table unless you need something they are at the hostess stand, at the bar, or in the kitchen.I loved the open concept, it definitely looks like it's family owned and that is one of the reasons I will definitely come back!!"

Sabi Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (182) • $$

"We tried Sabi for the first time this week, we got a to go order on Sunday evening. We had Tofu and Broccoli and Tofu Kung Pao. Both were good, everything was cooked nicely, and the order was ready right on time. They have a large menu, there are other items I would like to try. I will visit them again."

The Casual Pint - Rivergate

★★★★☆ 4.2 (135) • $$

"This place is our vibe! The staff is always nice and always helps with our drink choices. We have come a couple times and every time is just great! They have games, karaoke, music and sometimes just chill, depending when you come. Oh, we love the egg rolls here! Highly recommend you come on a Friday night!"

Puerta

★★★★☆ 4.3 (128) • $$

"If you're craving authentic Mexican flavors, this spot has it all.We kicked things off with cocktails--Paloma, mezcal, and even mimosas setting the tone for an amazing meal. For starters, we couldn't resist the fresh guacamole and a unique twist on cheese dip featuring huitlacoche. Trust me, it's unlike anything I've ever tasted!My main dish? Chilaquiles Verdes topped with sunny-side-up eggs. Absolute perfection. Service was so exceptional, they were super tentative and friendly, it was like if I were talking to friends! Whether you're brunching with friends or just want a flavorful escape, Puerta is 10/10 worth the visit!"

The Bottle Tree

★★★★☆ 4.4 (120) • $$

"Came in on a summer Wednesday evening after some rain, so it was quiet. We sat outside. My friend and I had never been. I would like to go back on a Sunday and sit outside. The outside space and seating is super cute. We started off with a bottle and Pesto and carrots. Our waitress recommended it to use and we both really enjoyed it. It's definitely different but the pita bread goes great with it. We didn't order anything else, to me everything was a littler pricier. There was plenty of street parking and near by lots."

Rio 150 Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (155) • $$

"I'd seen the billboard, heard about Rio150 on the radio and had just read an article about them. The next day while doing some errands I decided to have a late lunch there. A man was on the phone upon arrival I assume he is the manager. He sat me and let him know it was my first time here, he seems surprised. The server comes around a couple of times wanting to know what I wanted to drink and my order? Again explaining it was my first visit and had a few questions about menu items. Water was requested and order placed for asada with cactus and onions no more than medium on temperature and absolutely no cilantro. He agreed and off he goes, then comes back to the table asking about temperature for the meat. Surprised several minutes later my dish arrived. Two bites in found the meat well done and full of cilantro? The manager had to be flagged down explaining what the order was again. I was told "translation may have gotten confused in the kitchen.""

East Frank Superette & Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (94) • $$

"I've been a fan of this company for over 15 years. We began patronizing the Common Market in the Southend of Charlotte which had a wonderful shaded alley lined with chairs, plantings, and unique people. Sipping wine on a sunny afternoon and enjoying a sandwich was a simple pleasure that reminded us of Ronda, Mykonos, Rome or somewhere way cooler than anywhere called home.So, I was excited to learn that East Frank's is the same owner and has modeled this location after the others (NoDa, Oakwold, etc.). Same great food, quirky way to order (yet it works), vino, beer, hot sauces, and unique gifts with enough social spice to get the ladies from the prayer group all in a tizzy.Often, I will drop in on a lazy Sunday morning and order a breakfast sammie to go. I've tasted almost all of them and heartily recommend trying one, too. Grab a seat at the counter, order a cappuccino, and while the day away.As one of Monroe's unique go-to places for an experience outside the ordinary, my "Give 'em a whirl" meter is huffing and puffing, "Yes, yes, yes"! Go here."

Protagonist Beer

★★★★☆ 4.1 (121) • $$

"I can't believe I haven't reviewed Protagonist before! I lowkey love this brewery. They have some tasty beer and huge delicious pizza! Me and my bf came for a weekday dinner and had a blast. They allow doggos so we brought our good boy with us and he was able to hang with us outside at the tables. The area is so spacious and shaded.We ordered the Lando Calrissian and it was sublime and huge!!! We ate most of it there but had about 2 slices to take home and we definitely finished that the next day. The pizza was just as yummy reheated in the oven too!We also ordered the Jane Goodall dessert and it was HUGE. It was definitely for more than 2 people. It was very tasty, it's like their version of monkey bread. Highly recommend. I also loved the pineapple mango cider I had. Very light and refreshing. We will be back ASAP!"

Vortex Bottle Shop

★★★★☆ 4.2 (104) • $$

"This is my favorite restaurant, by far, in Harrisburg. I drove past a few times because I don't drink beer and wasn't sure what a "bottle shop" would serve for food. The menu is large enough to please everyone, but I especially enjoy the shrimp & artichoke dip, burrata antipasto salad (pictured), pimento cheese (pictured), flatbreads, and brunch specialties. Service is friendly and professional."

Los Compadres Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (95) • $$

"We had an excellent dinner date last night at Los Compadres. They had Modelo Negro on tap (!) and made a super good Skinny Margarita. Their salsa was some of the best we've ever had. Slow burn spicy, but not too hot - just right. Chips were good and fresh. Hubby had the Burrito Deluxe (1 each chicken and beef) and I had the Carnitas de Puerco (pork), both delicious. Both dishes were generous in size, we ended up taking leftovers home.Ended the evening with some of the best fresh, crispy Churros ever. The staff was great and the place adorable and clean. Highly recommend!"

Crafty Burg'r

★★★★☆ 3.8 (112) • $$

"It's been a while since visiting Crafty Burg'r. I remember loving the Huntersville location. Maybe it's my mind playing tricks but nothing that I remembered was what was in front of me today (I checked their Instagram and believe my memory is accurate). The burger was cooked to the right temp and all came out as promised. The negative is that it had frozen Bubba burger vibes and accompanied by frozen Sysco fries. Overall the taste was fine but I'd rather save the junk food for something worth splurging on. This was not it. Service was great."

Let’s Crab

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (109)

"Beautiful decor. I order a crab boil. so much food. I couldn't eat it all. I will be coming back."

FR8yard

★★★★☆ 4.1 (74) • $

"This is fantastic place for food and fun. It's dog friendly and my dog met a new pal. I had a delicious pumpkin cider. Three of us split 4 items. Chicken skewers with large grilled chicken chunks and buffalo sauce, jalapeño flavored sauce and a bourbon maple sauce, all great. We then shared an order of corndog bites on a stick and the batter was something special maybe had some maple in there and some really good mustard to dip in. And then we got a huge pretzel with two sauces. And we tried some of the hummus, which was very good . wonderful staff multi use space and their prices are very reasonable."

Old Town Public House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (52) • $$

"Cozy place to sit and have either a specialty coffee or alcohol drink. They have outdoor seating too. Our Salted Caramel Lattes were made quickly and tasted great. Would have enjoyed sitting and people watching as it would have been a perfect spot to spend an hour. We took our coffees to go but will be back another day to take advantage of this spot."

Phat Burrito

★★★★☆ 3.7 (47)

"We all loved hearing the news that Phat Burrito is coming back and let me tell you, I am so happy it's back! The food is just still sooooo good! The burrito is huge (phat), the salsas were delicious, Hot is actually Hot! And that empanada with the green sauce was everything! I also tried the quesadilla and they were just as good. It's self service but you can also order through a QR code, there is a full bar and drinks in cans in a fridge. The outside patio is a nice add and can't wait to see out there on a warm day! All in all, I am happy the place is back and kept some of his original menu items!"

Forest Trail House

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"Super good!!! I have been here numerous times and every time it has been delicious. The service is great and they are super friendly. A great place to sit and do some work and have a nice tea or coffee! I definitely recommend the cinnamon bun!!!"

Brazilian Way Sport Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (25)

"Brazilian Way Sports Bar is a full on Brazilian experience! If you go on the right night you can watch the best game & enjoy live music all while enjoying authentic brazilian cuisine .I love that they have a patio out back and when I came they were outside on the patio grilling out authentic dishes & it was a sight to see ! My favorite out of everything I tried here was the Beef rib croquettes & the Churros . Im ready to dine The Brazilian Way each and every time now when I stop by !"

Main Street Social

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"Excellent coffe, friendly staff, and fun atmosphere! I highly recommend and I'll be back soon!"

J&J Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.6 (7)

"Great hole in the wall and love the regulars! Bartenders only like guys though, and the pool tables are broken. But it's a great experience besides that.!"

Seoul Food Meat Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"Butterbeer enough said. Jk Alex and Leo are amazing bartenders and kept us well hydrated all night. We had the K-pop room for my friends iconic birthday and we couldn't have asked for better people to take care of us all night it was such a good vibe and the DJ kept playing bangers. The food here is bussing and you should definitely try it. We had so much fun."
