Grounds & Vine

The food was five star. The owner and chef greeted us and spent a few minutes to get to know us. He gave us a sample of his BBQ sauce after finding out my wife was from Texas. The complex sweet full flavor followed by a soft heat met my wife's approval. They use quality ingredients. I had the Reuben, a special for the day. The corned beef was excellent, not stringy, a common problem if you don't know how to cut the meat. The cheese was melted on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside along with the perfectly toasted bread. My wife had a flatbread pizza with sliced apples, blue cheese and bacon bits. This was a delicious and sweet combination that was to die for. The blue cheese was soft and not to overpowering. Another sign of quality ingredients. My daughter had the salmon. She devoured the perfect portion that came with a remoulade sauce that my picky child loved. My only critique is on the asparagus that came with the salmon. It was a little wilted and the pepper seasoning can be a little strong for those that don't like a lot of pepper. As the name suggests, they have a large wine selection. We rarely drink, but the vibe I got just walking into the restaurant made me want to try a glass of a local North Carolina Childress blackberry sweet wine. It had a soft sweet flavor, perfect for someone who does drink wine frequently but looking to experience a local flavor. This is the well kept secret that is inviting and intimate, with a quiet and simple setting. Their prices are very reasonable. Honestly they should be charging more as I felt it was a steal to walk out easily under $90 for a family of four (two teen girls). Keep in mind that included one glass of wine that was priced under $10.

Fun stop on our way down to CLT! Enjoyed the mimosa flight, garlic cheese bread and caprese panini. Good place to sit and relax. Small but cute and cozy space. We sat at the bar, our server was very friendly and welcoming. Food and drinks came out fast and we had a great time. Bread was nice and cheesy, toasted and warm. Mimosas were delicious, of course. Perfect start to the weekend!

Unassuming cafe with delicious homemade sandwiches and soups that also functions as a low key wine bar. Great place to meet a friend for lunch or coffee. Staff is friendly and we enjoyed the experience.

What a great, family owned place! I got the half sammie and soup $11.50. I chose the grilled 3 cheese that was so cheesy, the bread gave way before the cheese. The tomato bisque was very flavorful and the balsamic drizzle was a wonderful touch. I ate every bite. My Aunt got the half sammie and side salad. She chose the Turkey Gouda as her sandwich. She also ate every bite. The service was good and the atmosphere was cozy coffee/wine cafe. I would return.

A review I should have done a while ago, but Grounds & Vine is certainly a hidden gem in the area. I have now been a handful of times for both lunch and dinner (I have not been yet for breakfast or coffee) and I have had a great meal each time!While not huge, the space is cozy and has enough room for what it is inside. During the wintertime a nice fireplace to make it cozy and a decent size patio for the warmer months! Service here is great! All of the servers are pleasant and knowledgeable, and I think the owner/chef has come out each time I have been there to check on everything and to let you know about other things on the menu for next time!Each meal I have had there is very good for a place that really is more catered to coffee and wine! I have had a few different sandwiches, flat breads, and my wife's favorite is certainly the asian meatballs! They have a decent range of options and all are great and consistent each time I have been. If you need help making a choice on the menu, my favorite sandwich is the Triple G. I love the sauce on it which is both sweet and hot!Give Grounds & Vine a try if you are in the area and I think you will very happy with both the service and the food!

Great family owned small restaurant. Stopped by for a business lunch. We ate outside on the patio. I had the Concord Sammie and half salad. Mark had the chicken salad sandwich. I also tried the lemonade. All of it was delectable. Rich the owner stopped by and we chatted. Great visit and outstanding service. Tucked in behind some new construction off the main road in a strip mall. Plenty of parking. I forgot to take pix. Out of practice since I didn't travel last week.

Tried Grounds and Vine today for a quick breakfast and coffee and was not disappointed! I had a gingerbread latte and the ham and cheese croissant and they were great. I want to come back for lunch and wine sometime because the options looked pretty solid. It's a really cute place and the staff was nice. Prices seemed very fair. The ONLY negative thing I have to say is it's tough getting back to 85 after. I ended up just taking back roads over to Odell school road to get home. I think that area is just really growing so traffic is inevitable. Great spot though and always happy to find another solid latte option!

Popped in here on a whim in search of a good sandwich. Didn't disappoint. Very welcoming staff and patrons (ran into a regular who was very helpful with menu selections). My food was delicious. My coffee on point. I'll be back. Cozy little spot

WOW! This may be my new favorite restaurant. Found randomly on Yelp while heading to Raleigh, I could not have found a better place. The made-from-scratch food, soups and sauces were incredibly fresh and delicious. Possibly the best ham and cheese sandwich I've ever had (same with the tomato bisque). Service was attentive and professional, and although the place was full, the noise level was completely tolerable. Can't wait to go back!

The coffee and food were both original and top notch. If you stay long enough, the owner will likely come say hello as well.
