| - What does this fox say? He says "There's better food than this in Charlotte". The wife and I dropped by this much-hyped Sharon Amity eatery Sunday after church. While Sunday after church is usually a suicide time slot, the wait was short and the staff very nice.
The dining room was packed and loud but not in an off-putting way. The lady at the hostess stand, the waitress and even the busboy were all great, offering kind words and big smiles along with the fast service. On an accessibility note, I will say that my wife is in a wheel chair and everything was very easy for her, no steps, a nice ramp outside and wide doorways. The biggest turn off, aside from the food, is the limited parking situation. We had to make a couple of laps before a spot opened up.
The food was not what we were hoping for. Having read several glowing reviews in the local papers, we were looking forward to a good sit down restaurant that really knows how to make great fried chicken and wonderful home-style sides. Looks like we'll have to keep looking.
We both had fried chicken, so I can't speak for any other entrees etc. The chicken was just OK. It was hot but a little greasy and way too dry. I expect it was overcooked. The highly touted brine and seasoning process didn't bring much to the party. Could have used a little more salt and a little less cayenne pepper. The corn muffing was OK, but not even warm enough to melt the room temperature honey butter. The mashed potatoes were OK, the texture was a little loose and not a lot of flavor. The mac and cheese was a huge disappointment, slightly warmer than room temperature and totally devoid of flavor. They should have called it just Macaroni because for the life of me I couldn't find and cheese or any flavor.
Maybe the biggest disappointment in what was turning out to be a symphony of inefficacy was the so-called banana pudding. I've seen it recommended by other reviewers and since, I am a fan of the dish, I gladly shelled out 6 bucks to give it a go. A huge bowl of very thick flavorless pudding like glop filled the bottom of a large bowl. there were 3 banana slices stuck into the gloppy mess and on top was a huge pile of flavorless whipped cream with exactly 3 hard vanilla wafers stuck into it. a fourth vanilla wafer had been crumbled over the top of this disaster. Absolutely no flavor of anything, much less banana.
Maybe the burgers and some of the other sides are better, but I won't be finding out.
