Deluxe Fun Dining

I'll give this place 5/10. The ambiance and presentation is nice. The food would be better if they brought it out hot. We waited a very long time to get drinks. When the food came out it was semi warm. The customer service was just ok for this to be more on the upscale side. The price of everything the food could definitely be MUCH better. I won't try again

We had a great time at Deluxe Fun Dining, sampling both regular menu items and some special offerings for Restaurant Week. The portions are generous, served on large platters that really tie into the fun, thematic atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout the meal. All our entrees arrived at the same time, so no one had to wait.This spot is perfect for a date night, a girls' night out, or a birthday celebration--everything is presented in an exciting, over-the-top style.

So let me start by saying that whoever is making videos of this place has been doing an amazing job promoting this restaurant. I saw this restaurant first on a video that someone posted on Instagram. It looked fun and exciting and we had some friends that we wanted to bring with us and have an outing together at a cool fun place. The menu is a little tricky. They promote a $45 brunch that gives you one starter, one main course, and one desert, but there are only a few items on the menu that match the $45 fee. As you look over the menu, the items on the menu have a "+$x" where "x" is a dollar amount to add to the brunch fee. For example. The burger was additional $24 so you pay $69 for the burger. The chicken wings are additional as well. So there are only a few items in the main course that are "included" in the $45 brunch fee. The representation of the food is really creative. I've never seen food displayed this way. So it was quite an experience and made that part of the brunch very fun. Popcorn shrimp brought out in a popcorn maker machine was one of those. The food, however just wasn't making the grade. And there was a mistake where the table beside me ordered the 24k gold chicken wings and I did as well and the kitchen brought their plate to me. After they sat it down, the lady beside me said "I think that is my plate" and I said "you can have it, I didn't touch anything and all I did was take a picture". But she insisted on not taking it. That made it weird for both of our parties. She was the only one at her table without food and I was the only one WITH food. The staff really screwed that up and for what you pay for this experience and the food, that was a big issue. The chicken wings were dry and not very meaty at all. More bone than meat and just not something I'd ever try again. I regretted not getting something else. The burger had lobster on it and we shared the lobster with others at the table and it just wasn't up to par with a $69 burger with lobster on it. You have a choice of ordering water only and it was warm to barely chilled, which added to the dryness of my chicken. There were 5 of us. My daughter had a $12 Caesar salad. I had the 24k chicken wings, there was a child with us that had the chicken nuggets, and the two others in our party at the shrimp & grits and the burger. When the bill came it was $292+ and I realized there was a $45 surcharge on the bill (tip is included by them). That's sad because I give a HUGE tip for good service and less if it's not up to speed. But enforcing a tip on ALL sales is really odd. I can see this for big parties. But not a group of 5. We took the desert home. It was a brownie for all of us. The brownie was not fancy restaurant style brownie. It tasted like something you'd buy at the grocery store. I'm not trying to be this critical. The food just simply didn't match a $292 meal for 5 (when one was a kids meal and one was a salad only). That's pricey for such low quality. Another interesting thing that turned weird was that during the start, a guy comes up with an SLR camera and says "can I take your picture?" By the time the meal came out, he walked up and showed us a very fancy frame with our picture in the frame. He said "you can buy this for $25". What? I mean in the 90s this was probably a cool thing. But it's 2025 where people can take a photographer grade photo with their phones now. And surely nobody would want to pay $25 for it. We chose NOT to buy it. But as I was leaving the waiter approached me and said "hey sir, did you want this picture". And I said "no thank you". I would give them 10 out of 5 on presentation and cool ways to display food. I would give them a 2 out of 5 on the food - it just didn't satisfy me. Maybe it was just the dry thin wings. But it just didn't do anything for me. I would give them a 1 out of 5 for how they price their food and how they add a tip to every ticket. I may come back. But I'll have to really think about that before doing it again.

Deluxe Fun Dining in Charlotte promises a high-energy, exciting experience, but unfortunately, it laccked the flair and excitement advertised. The atmosphere was fine, but it didn't quite deliver on the "fun" factor I was expecting. The presentation could have used more dry ice and maybe music. The food was ok, nothing spectacular, and a bit overpriced for what you get. On the bright side, the cocktails were solid, well-made, and enjoyable. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but if you're going for a truly unique and lively dining experience, you might leave feeling underwhelmed.

The ambience was romantic, colorful, and comfortable. Staff were great. The dress code did not fit the ambience or vibe. Also, the food was disappointing. I did not enjoy the small lamb chops, lobster rolls, or salad. I also did not enjoy my drink. By the way, my card was swiped about 6 times before a different staff member decided to swipe it successfully on a different card reader. Really??? Also, parking should have been complimentary. Don't believe the hype. I do not see a return visit in my future. I left, then dined at Eddie V's.

I recently dined at the Deluxe Fun Dining restaurant. Before making reservations, I checked out their website, which gave off a luxurious vibe. I then made reservations on OpenTable and for some reason they canceled it several days later. I called them and they acknowledged that they canceled it in error so I made a second reservation again on OpenTable. When we arrived, they didn't have reservations because once again they canceled and said it was canceled on my end which was not the case. They were able to accommodate us since it wasn't really busy for a Thursday evening. The ambiance didn't quite match my expectations--it felt more like a typical restaurant with standard seating.One standout feature of the restaurant is its creative food presentation. I ordered a dish called "Barbecue on the Bone," which was served on a small table barbecue grill--a fun and unique touch.As for the food itself, I had lamb chops, lobster tail, chicken wings, and truffle fries. The fries tasted like plain French fries without seasoning, and the lamb, lobster, and wings were fine but nothing extraordinary. Overall, the food wasn't particularly memorable.That said, this restaurant seems to be more about the experience and vibe than the cuisine. I did enjoy their drink menu, which had a great selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.Would I return? Probably, but more for the fun experience and creative presentation than for the food.

It was such a fantastic experience and meal!!!!! I was a bit skeptical of this place upon reading some reviews online about food and reservations being canceled, parking, etc. I decided to go ahead and just make a reservation for 2 a month in advanced Even though I kept getting text and email confirmations, I decided to call the restaurant and just double-check that our reservations were still there. We arrived about 5 minutes before our actual reservation time, and we were seated immediately. We were taken to the 2nd floor. Now, this is definitely a pay for the experience type of place. Ordered drinks, and they were brought out on a tray with smoke coming out. Decided to try their Rockefeller oysters, and they were delicious!!!!! The parmesan cheese elevated the oysters to another level and definitely gave it a bit of a kick. The husband and I decided to share the tomahawk surf and turf platter. It comes with a huge piece of steak, broccolini, steamed or fried lobster tail, and fries. It was BEYOND AMAZING! Even though it did take an HOUR for us to receive our food, it was well worth it. The steak was cooked medium well and to perfection. Seasoned right and very juicy! The lobster tail was delicious also. Tasted great. The fries were the best. Just enough crisp to them, very well seasoned and fresh! We were happy with our meal. Everything was spectacular. They brought our meal out on a board with a sparkler! They definitely put on a show. It is a bit pricey but I say a nice treat for a special occasion. As we were leaving, we noticed they had show girls dancing on the first floor, and everybody was hyped up and dancing to the music. We were told they were making their way upstairs, but since we were already heading out, we missed the show. This is located in uptown, so be mindful of parking. We were lucky to snag a side street spot for only $3 as opposed to a parking lot charging $20. We will definitely be returning to try other items for sure. Everyone from the hostess to our server Nick was amazing! Very friendly and efficient.

The Brunch Menu - There are two weekend brunch menu's one is for the food ala cart and the other is what you can get for the $45 brunch. No cocktails included. Also, there is an uncharge for items that are listed on the menu as + whatever the additional cost is.Food - low level food experience. I love seasoning and I love salt, but I'm pretty sure my ankles were swollen after leaving here. The decorative experience also goes but so far. If this is a restaurant that is supposed to highlight the experience it lacked in some areas. A few of the members in our party ordered drinks that required the server to come and provide the experience for them when they served their drink. The server stood at the end of the table furthest from the people that ordered the actual drinks and lit them on fire and then passed them down. Some of the stuff just came out with like oversized birds on the board, which just takes up space it's nothing like cool about it. We ordered:Diced Pineapple (10/10) - Hit the mark!Popcorn Shrimp (4/10) - It came out in the popcorn machine and which is likely the coolest experience. The actual shrimp were over-seasoned. Like s-a-l-t-y. Lobster & Crab Dip (7/10) - The best thing we ordered. However, they can do without the cheese coating on top. It's over load when the dip by itself is superb. Shrimp & Grits (5/10) - the base (gravy) was watery and again the dish was salty. Chicken & Waffles (5/10) - The chicken was solid. Like no complaints. The waffle was too dense. 24K Chicken (7/10) - This is a dish that comes with an uncharge. Honestly they put gold foil on the chicken and give you fries and charge $24 additional dollars. You could get the chicken and waffles and order a side of fries because I think you only get one additional wing and foil. Warm Croissant with Nutella And Fruits (1/10)- Dry!!!!

A "Must Do" in Charlotte, Everything was great! Food, Atmosphere , and Service...Exceptional!!!! Try the Deluxe Lamb Chops.

Everything was Excellent, the food, the atmosphere. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves to the utmost. Would highly recommend Deluxe to any and every one.
