"I visited this spot with my mom on Sunday 01/05/2025. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast tacos with potatoes and the ruby slipper mimosa! My mom had the omelet with the blueberry lavender mimosa. Everything was GREAT! Customer service, the food, spacious seating. There is street parking. And I must suggest NOT parking in the lot behind the restaurant because they tow."

"The food is good. Unfortunately, as other reviews implied, the location is better than the flavor. I think the quality is there, as is the service, but the price & flavor combo is what brings it down a notch.The flavor isn't premium. I could make equitable food at home. So I'm paying not to do the dishes and enjoy the view of the lake.Had the salmon the first time - which is tasty. My wife had the Piri wrap and wasn't satisfied. I returned for the Spicy Chicken Sandwhich and Beef confit fries. It was spicy, I give them that, but I wouldn't pay $20 for it again. That's how I felt in general, I wouldn't return for that price. Same for the key lime pie. Sorry"

"Great spot worth making an effort to seek out. I finally got down there to try the roast pork belly they've introduced recently. It's available in banh mi fork or by the pound. I got the banh mi. Absolutely incredible. Have had the grilled pork previously and that is awesome, too. They have other Vietnamese delicacies and treats available--iced coffee is delicious and they also have some boba drinks. People there are fantastic, as well. An oasis of Vietnamese awesomeness in Charlotte!"

Be's Noodles & Banh Mi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (432) • $$

"We stumbled into Be's Noodles on a whim one Saturday afternoon and I'm so glad we did! We got chicken pho, beef pho, and a lemongrass bahn mi to share. The bahn mi sandwich was incredible! The meat was packed with flavor and delivered a sort of spicy/sweet experience. The pickled veggies on top of the sandwich added a fresh crunch that I kept going back for. I'm not a big pho person but this broth was the most flavorful and savory that I've had in recent memory. The chicken in my pho was overcooked and chewy but other than that, everything was really tasty! The pho portion is huge and we both left with leftovers. The bahn mi was about the size of a footlong sub so I don't think I could have finished one by myself. We want to go back and try some of their appetizers!"

"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."

"Went here on a Thursday afternoon; I was the only person there until a family followed me in. The workers were in the back for a bit (I believe chatting), and sort of just looked at me and continued their conversation. I stood there awkwardly for a minute or two until someone walked over to take my order.The appearance of the business was super unique. I loved the aesthetic and the mural. I ordered the Mint-oreo milkshake ($8.25) and waited about 6ish minutes for my order. It looked very appetizing, and tasted just as good. I ended up almost finishing it before I even got home.If I lived here, I could totally see myself being a regular in the summer. I also would have totally loved to try that Apple Pie milkshake.Side note: I saw in someone else's review that they thought the set-up of this business was weird, and I have to agree. The flow inside is a bit odd. I'm not sure why they don't just bring the items to the front, but it wasn't too much of a hassle just to walk to the back to grab my drink and leave.--------Overall:*Mint-oreo milkshake: 9.8/10*Service: 6/10*Appearance: 9/10Total rating: 8.3/10 (or a 4.1/5, rounded to 4/5 for Yelp)Total spent: $8.93"

"Dropped in for a quick bday celebration after work. This was my first visit. They had a special this day which was $6 martinis. I don't even drink martinis or anything strong but I tried the pineapple one. It was strong (for me) and I took the entire hour visit to drink the one haha.I got the salmon tacos and I got a side of the loaded fries. The salmon tacos were tasty. I enjoyed them. They weren't anything too crazy. The fries on the other hand, not so much. I wound of leaving them. The cheese dried hard so when you picked up a fry, the cheese fell off. The fries were severely seasoned so I needed a different sauce to mellow them out. I'm glad I didn't order the large portion which I was going to. Overall, just chill bar food. Not bad and would go back to try the juke box."

Brooks Sandwich House

"Still love this place. The best classic Carolina burger ever. Their chili truly makes it. They also have good breakfast sandwiches as well. Make sure you bring cash because it is cash-only. They have an ATM but you'll be charged a processing fee. Definitely one of the last Charlotte classics in town and I will be devastated when they leave us."

East Village Grille

★★★★☆ 4.2 (288) • $$

"A recommendation from my hotel! It has the look and feel of a local joint. I sat at the bar. I had a side salad (I forgot to take a picture). Very good. The Greek Style Spaghetti was an unexpected delight. The noodles are hollow so the sauce is inside and outside of the pasta. The sauce! Not a traditional tomato-y sauce. It was sweet and hardy The entire dish was covered in cheese with a side of garlic bread I had leftovers which I ate later that night! 5 mins from Tru-Asheville. GO! You won't be disappointed!"

The Improper Pig

★★★★☆ 4.1 (279) • $$

"We came here for dinner one week night and was happy to find decent bbq. The interior of the restaurant is well lit in the main dining room, but we opted to sit at the bar which can seat up 8 people near the kitchen. The service was good as the bartender did a good job consistently checking on us. We started with the fried pork skins (chicharrones) which were surprisingly very delicious. They came out fresh and as we ordered with the bbq rub on the side. I never had blue cheese with my chicharrones but I have to say it is a great addition to the dish. For my main course I had the brisket sandwich which was OK my only complaint is I wish the meat was a little more tender and moist. Overall good food and ambiance, I plan to visit in the future and try out some of their happy hour specials."

"Pik N Pig has to be one of the best barbq joint in North Cackalacky . I swear to higher ups! Someone told me to come check this place out It's our there in the woods right by the airport To me, being able to enjoy some tasty yummy barbecue brisket, pork chops, smoked chicken and pulled pork while watching the planes take off and land is such a fun and unique experience for people of all ages. Service is outstanding and the atmosphere can't get any better. It was 80 degrees and no clouds. What a day to spent on a Sunday yeah .My favorite was the smoked chicken. I'm sure you guyz will be on your way here.I like it a lot ...I'm sure you'll like it too won't disappoint.j"

La Dolce Vita Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (251) • $$

"This place is not what you would expect from Sanford. We moved here from MPLS where there is so many different restaurants on every corner. I admit we are missing that aspect of our new city. So someone recommended La Dolce and I'm so glad they did. They had great pizza! The vibe is laid back and you don't feel like you are in Sanford. I wish they had a house salad rather then the specialty salads as nothing is better then a plain salad with pasta. M"

Osteria LuCa

★★★★☆ 4.4 (207) • $$

"I have nothing but good things to say about the food here. You will not be disappointed. Osteria LuCa is tucked away in Park Road Shopping Center. It's a small restaurant (a little loud and overcrowded), but I will forgive all that because of how good the food is. But be prepared to wait--whether you have a reservation or not. Every time we come here (with a reservation), we've had to wait upwards of 30 minutes before our table is ready. This place is packed on evenings and weekends, and they overbook. The food is worth the wait, but I sure wish they could honor reservation times."

Rosario's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (238) • $

"I had high hopes getting pizza from Rosario's again thinking it may have improved. Don't get me wrong, this is still the best pizza in the area that I have tried but I was somewhat disappointed. We ordered a Sausage New York Pizza to go. The last time we ordered this a few years ago, it had strips of cured sausage all over the pizza. This time the sausage came shredded up on the pizza. It was a huge disappointment having shredded sausage on a pizza. When I got the pizza back to the house about a mile down the road, it wasn't hot at all. You might be thinking, "well maybe he showed up late to pick it up." Nope. I had to wait about 5 minutes after I paid for the pizza before it was ready. Overall, the pizza tasted ok. I liked the crust but the cool pizza and shredded sausage was a let down."

Dean's Italian Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.9 (237)

"This place is AMAZING! The hubby and I came here for Christmas dinner because we wanted to break from tradition. The ambience was great sometimes it is nice to come to a classic restaurant as opposed to a more modern setting. Our waiter was a man named Alex and he was so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We started with the steak tartare and lobster, they were so good I forgot to take pics, lol! For our main course we had steaks, it seems like a sin to come to an steak house and not get steak. Everything was great, I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. Will definitely be coming back!"

I would definitely try it again."

Tony's Pizza- Ballantyne

★★★★☆ 3.7 (243) • $

"Tony's is the best place for no frills Italian food that hits the spot. I typically get the eggplant parm platter and it is a generous helping of eggplant, spaghetti and a side salad. It's normal for me to get two portions out of a serving. My fiancé enjoys their calzones because of how generous the sizes are and though there's an up charge for the premium toppings, they seem to include quite a bit of each ingredient. The staff is friendly and service is quick."

"My wife and I just had Valentines dinner at 2 Gals this evening. The special menu was wonderful. We had a choice of 3 entrees: Crab Stuffed Salmon, Cornish Game Hen or a Beef Wellington. We shared the Beef Wellington and Cornish Game Hen. We started off with roasted Brussel Sprouts, and they were delicious. Our dinner was nothing short of awesome!!!Everyone was amazing, and it was obvious they really wanted folks to have a memorable evening. I typically do lunch here, and a favorite is the ABC Burger. Or the Rocky Point Wrap. I've never left disappointed."

Just Us Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (166) • $

"My friend and I came here to nurse our hangovers the day after the 2022 Midterm Elections. The night didn't go our way, and it was a long night with lots of booze. We needed an epic breakfast to make us feel better, and Just Us Café delivered.Just Us Cafe is a family-owned diner and local hangout that seems to have a crowd of regulars, but we felt welcome. The servers use Ipads to enter your order at the booth or table, which is very efficient and gets your drinks and food out quickly. We both had veggie omelets, and I customized mine to add cheese as well as an order of hash browns with onions on the side. The omelet was full of cheese and vegetables, and the hash browns were hot and crispy like home fries. My dining partner also had a side of catfish. As a pescatarian, I love that they have options that don't include sausage or bacon.Prices here are VERY reasonable, and our server kept us taken care of with drink refills and condiments. You also get a small discount if you pay with cash. I would return and recommend Just Us Café for breakfast."

"After 5 years, time for another update.This place is a mile from my house, I pass it daily.I've done mostly take out over the last four years and I recommend it to everyone I know who comes to Fort Mill for BBQ.I picked up James from the airport this evening and he was hungry for some BBQ. He also wanted to watch the Hurricanes and Golden Knights.We rolled in about 830p and the place was packed, even the bar.We got seated and waited for our Server and we waited.Finally a young lady came up and said she would help us but we would be her last table, she was end of shift. From there we had probably one of the best dining experiences in the area in a long, long time.Lindsay was on her game. She quickly got our beverages, brought menus, answered questions and offered suggestions. James doesn't get a lot of que in NH, he was impressed since he's from the South and can't find this quality and selection in NH, especially with the sides like the collards and corn bread.What followed was an amazing meat feast of brisket and BBQ and the best sides we could imagine.Lindsay is a great asset to this business. She's polite and professional, she smiles and is articulate. Quite exceptional, that she's been here since they opened over 4 years ago.After she brought our food and we were surveying all the porky fineness on our table, Lindsey said 'The Hurricanes will be on this screen' as she pointed to the large HDTV, 'will that work for you'? She's a keeper ya'll"

"I actually ate here yesterday. It was so good I had to double back. I initially went to the other location on Mt Holly- Huntersville Rd, I was disappointed from my experience there. I wanted 2 slices of Italian sausage pizza. They told me they don't offer Italian sausage per slice just cheese and pepperoni. Keep in mind I was just at the other location at Overland the day before. And I've never had this problem before. I didn't argue, I politely left. I was gonna go to Davinci's but I wanted to give them another shot. So I went back to the Overland location and received my order with no issues. Consistency is a big deal for me. All locations need to be on the same page."

"Best bbq around the SC/NC state line area. Awesome neon signs hung everywhere. Great patio in the back to grab a beer and watch tv while waiting on your table. We've had the same waitress both times we've been there and she is great at her job. Pulled pork nachos are enough to feed 4 people and are probably in the Top 2 of bbq nachos I've ever had. Huge variety of drinks from beer to tequila to wine."
