The Southern Pecan

This restaurant was a 10 out 10! I got the Southern Fried steak with gravy, green beans and Mac and cheese. I also got a side of Collard Greens. The Steak was very tender covered in warm gravy. The Mac and cheese were very cheesy and good. Although, the green beans wasn't my favorite they were still good. The collards were tender, juicy with a hint of sweetness. I loved everything that I ate. We had a fantastic server. He was so cool, accommodating.The ambiance was very nice but causal. It was super busy so I would recommend reservations. They also have valet parking. I can't wait to visit again!

if you haven't had a chance to venture to this spot, put it on your calendar and GO!!! My wife and I ended up here just as a quick search while visiting Charlotte. we ended up going around 3PM in the afternoon. We found it through a Yelp search. Thank you Yelp! This one is a keeper. My wife and I had a Caesar salad and Louisiana BBQ shrimp as an appetizer. They also provided us with freshly baked cornbread that came out hot! All were delicious. we were excited about the main entrees that were to come. I ordered the fried jumbo shrimp and the wife had shrimp tacos. Again, the food was spot on. I meant to order the Mac & Cheese and the Collard Greens, but forgot. based on the taste of the food today, I won't forget those two. If they are in line with the rest of the meal, I'm in for a special treat. Our waiter was on point too! This was just so right and at the right time. We've already decided that we will be visiting this spot again! Kudos to the whole team at The Southern Pecan!

Girls night enjoying a Queen's Feast special before Charlotte food week is over.Ambiance is great, good music, services was great. The Texas style Paloma was delicious and so was the cornbread. The short rib with mash potatoes, gravy and roasted carrots was great. Nice and tender, very flavorful. I am not a catfish lover but I tried my friends and it was REALLY good, I was pleasantly surprised. I think I'll add The Southern Pecan to my date night list.

I learned of this restaurant as they were on the list for Charlotte's Restaurant Week. Made a reservation for Sunday at 8 PM. Even with me arriving 20 minutes early, I was greeted/seated right away. Noticed a dress code of business casual while making my reservation; however, I did notice people walk-in with t-shirts/jeans. AMBIANCE:This would be a cute date night spot. Space was clean, dimly lit and gave classy vibes. Music playing and TVs located above the bar. PARKING:A lot is located behind the restaurant. When I arrived, it was full. Drove over to the neighboring shops and easily found parking. My server was friendly and attentive (even with her working behind the bar). I ordered off the restaurant week menu. FOOD:Starter - Deviled eggs with pickles Salad - Strawberry salad w/ mixed greens, cucumber, golden raisins, goat cheese crumbles, candied pecans Entree - Pecan fried Catfish with cilantro line beurre blanc, pole beans, roasted mashed potatoes Dessert - Key lime pieFirst off, all of this food for $35.00 was a STEAL honey! Ordered a sweet tea to drink, for this to be a southern restaurant, was highly disappointed. The sugar was not there ...Deviled eggs were good. They had a twang from the mustard with crispy bacon on top. The strawberry salad was delish!!! Hopefully they have this as an entree because a nice piece of salmon on top would be too good!!! Noticed some of the items on the salad were substituted (no cucumbers or golden raisins but had red onion and cherries) The star of the show - Pecan fried catfish!!! Large portion of fish with an even larger portion of mashed potatoes. Definitely made two meals out of this entree. The only thing I could have used on the fish was hot sauce. Not sure if substitutions are allowed, I just ordered the entree how it came. The dessert is listed as key lime pie, however it's a key lime cheesecake. The meal overall was good. Would definitely come back and recommend to a friend!

Lucky for us we did not have to wait to be seated. Nice atmosphere with a bar and music playing. It took a little time before our server came over to greet us to get our drink order. The brunch menu wasn't extensive but there was a good variety of food. We started with mimosas, they were delicious. The cornbread came after that. Cold cornbread and cold butter don't go good together. Our appetizers and entrees came at the same time. That was disappointing. The cup of gumbo which was plentiful in size, was not hot and lacked taste. The hot pimento cheese dip was good as well as the baguette. We had the cucumber salad which was very tasty. All the portion size was plenty and worth the money. However, everything did need more flavor including the bbq shrimp and catfish strips.

I would actually give this place 4.5 stars.We stopped in while on a recent weekend visit to Charlotte. After reading other reviews, we decided to try, and it did not disappoint We made a reservation, which I would highly recommend. The only time available when we booked was 4:30. When we arrived, we thought we didn't really need the reservation, but when we left an hour later, it was packed. Not an empty seat in the house.There were excellent southern dishes to choose from. I had the pork chop with mashed potatoes and greens. It was everything I hoped for. My wife, who is not typically a fried fish person, got the pecan crusted fried catfish and said it was the best catfish she ever had. I snuck a bite and had to agree it was one of the best I've ever had, too.We added a side of Mac and cheese, because why not, and it was excellent.They serve warm corn bread to start. Beware, it's so good you'll fill up on that if you're not careful.If you can make a reservation, I say get here and give it a shot.

Great service, fresh food. The only thing missing is seasoning. I was so hopeful after the barbecued shrimp- well-seasoned and very flavorful. The pecan catfish was perfectly crispy, hot, fried to order and ... disappointingly bland. Even the sauce on top added nothing. "Gulf coast" catfish is seasoned. The batter and the filets. I brought salt and salted everything heavily, but it wasn't enough to save it. The ambience was very nice and Jay was a great server, though. Bring your Tony Chacheres

Visiting the area and stopped in for a late lunch. As we walked in we were warmly greeted by the hostess. There is a big bar, lots of windows and we liked the music theme throughout the restaurant. Our server greeted us with a glass of water and big smile. She was helpful with menu items we asked about. We both enjoyed a very tasty local brown ale and opted for the creamy tomato soup and kale salad. They were both delicious and the cornbread was a nice treat. It paired well with the soup. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Everything was fresh and delicious.

The name itself pulled me in!! My daughter and I raced to Charlotte (in traffic) with reservations...before a flight...to the southern pecan. What an experience!!! The menu is one thing, but the food passing by...how could we decide. Everything looked delicious!! We met a couple close by and shared stories and talked about all the amazing things to try. The catfish!!! The fried chicken!!! The mashed potatoes...everything...delicious!!!

Came here for dinner with family. The atmosphere is upbeat and intimate like a modern American restaurant but with traditional southern food with a twist here and there. My favorite by far was the pimento cheese. We got it warm. Servers were nice and well and staff seemed very genuine.
