Dish

My friend was playing a show in Charlotte last Friday night at Petra's Bar. After her set, I went to find some dinner. I looked on Yelp. I found this place called Dish. It looked like southern goodness. I decided to try it out. I walked down the street and found Dish pretty easily. I went inside. It looked empty. I saw a sign that said "See Bartender for Table." There was no one in there. I looked and saw a sign up by the ceiling that said "Bar," so I headed that way. There's a back room with a second bar and tables. The bartender told me to pick a table. I found a booth in the back corner. Perfect for me as I was eating alone and wanted to people watch. I ordered the sweet and sour meatloaf. It was so good. It was sweet but with a kick. I'm very sensitive to spicy food, however I could eat this. It was too good to pass up on. It came with a nice big moist biscuit, a deviled egg, and a side of carrots. So good. I'm so glad I found this place. I don't know if I'll be back because I live in Charleston. I would recommend this place to any southern food lover! Did not disappoint!

I've been. Couple times and the food is anyways great and the service is always so fast and friendly. My go-to for comfort food in plaza!

Definitely gone downhill. Back patio strongly smelled like urine. Service not great. This has historically been one of my favorite places. Hope this is not a permanent state of things!

What a slept on spot in Plaza Midwood. A menu full of southern staples: fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken &dumplings, country fried steak etc. This un-assuming spot has all you need for a great meal with friends and family, or some late night eats(they offer an all-day breakfast menu and are open until 1:30am!). Affordable prices across the board with a nice selection of beers or mixed drinks. Try the candied bacon and make sure to funk it up!

Really enjoyed the causal vibes of this restaurant and loved the spin on comfort food! We got the pot roast with rice instead of mashed potatoes and I got the veggie plate with beans, salad, Mac n cheese and carrots. Their comfort food comes with a deviled egg and biscuit. The wait staff all wait on you and service was great!

There's a place for good diner food, this just isn't it. Good service, mostly and efforts to compensate for other shortcomings as they arise. The most enjoyable thing for me was the champagne bucket at brunch. The food is pretty average to below average. Great description writing on the menu, but it ends there. Everything sounds great but little was. Of the three of us, no one raved. Have visited twice, declined a third suggestion. Was very clear about why we were able to walk in and immediately be seated during the brunch hour. The outdoors space is nice if the goal is to drink and be merry.

We hadn't been to Dish since they were reopened under new management and decided to pop by last night for dinner. It was even better than I remembered!Truly the best place in the area to get some classic comfort food dishes. I ordered the pot roast (a little on the salty side but that was perfect with the less salty mashed potatoes), and it came with a biscuit, deviled egg AND a side (I tried the seasonal salad, which was an incredibly fresh little cherry tomato, basil & balsamic masterpiece). So good. My husband got a Higher Ground IPA to drink and had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, which he enjoyed as well. I love that they serve breakfast all day as well - definitely need to keep that in mind! And next time I'm definitely saving room for dessert - everything in the case looked so, so tasty. The staff are really friendly and welcoming too, and the space just feels like you're stepping back in time into a homey country restaurant (with a fun late-night bar in the back!). We are already pumped to come back and try some more of the delicious-sounding menu items (like the chicken & dumplings, Cajun seasoned meatloaf and pecan-crusted pork tenderloin!). Keep up the awesome cookin', Dish!

I would not come back here sadly. :( My partner and I went for a date in April and were very excited! The atmosphere was cute and service was quick and helpful. That said, the food was just not up to par or worth the price. I got meatloaf and my partner got a burger. Both of us felt that those things were...fine. They were okay. I felt like the sauce on my meatloaf really clashed. But the reason I'm leaving this review is to tell people not to get the mac n cheese. It was the saddest mac n cheese I have ever seen. BARELY any cheese. Mostly just plain, warm noodles. So bizarre I took a photo for evidence. Hope this restaurant turns the food quality around, so much potential at this location!

Haven't been in a while. Heard they had updated the place so thought we would try it out. Yikes! Service was horrible and food was worse. Staff seemed bothered we were there. Never even asked if we wanted drinks - I assumed they must have thought we only needed water. The chicken and dumplings was more like dough soup with one piece of chicken and the mac and cheese was not even edible. Cold and tasted very old. Biscuit and Egg were also very old. We went durning normal lunch hours. Very disappointing. Will not be returning.

I've been wanting to try Dish forever. The mac and cheese was pretty good...definitely homemade. Loved my cocktail with fresh strawberries. I think I came on an off day though. My food took an extremely long time and you could tell the server was a bit overwhelmed being by himself. The bartender was great, super nice and apologetic for the long wait. Great vegetarian options. I definitely want to give this place another chance! Loved the vibe and decor.
