We were visiting Charlotte for a couple of days and were relying heavily on Yelp to lead the charge for dining - but this time it let us down.
The Bad: I'm not sure if we were there on an off night or what (quite possible when looking at photos from other reviewers) - but the food just wasn't good. Given the reviews - we were very surprised. We started with cornbread and biscuits for the table - they had little flavor and were so heavy and greasy that when we ordered our meal we said no thanks to the bread option. I ordered fried chicken w/ mac&chs, butter beans & collards. The greens were good - but that was pretty much it. The chicken was dry, the mac&cheese had the same old-oil taste the bread had and the butter beans were okay for being out of a can, but nothing special. A friend order a Salmon special and she said that was good so I wish I had ordered that instead.
The Good: Service was good. Attentive and friendly server took care of us. The premise behind the restaurant is fabulous - giving back to the community. But I would have rather given my $$ directly to their cause than spent it on the food.
