Southern inspired comfort food combined with excellent craft cocktails, framed in a "order to share" style restaurant. If you are from the North and you need to experience a nice intro to Southern food, try Haberdish.
From a native South Carolinian, I was excited to try out Haberdish's fried chicken and their take on Southern sides. The sweet potato dumplings are an interesting addition to the menu and pretty tasty, although I was not blown away. The grilled okra with bacon marmalade on top was pretty good as well (that's about as sexy as okra can get folks). Yet another interesting side, kale grits, which were good. I think I enjoy regular grits better though.
Saving the best for last...the biscuits and fried chicken. I know good biscuits and I can truly say that Haberdish has some of the best in CLT. They have nailed the art of biscuit making. The same goes for the fried chicken. Their recipe and process are on point and have set the tone for fried chicken in Charlotte.
The downside to my experience was the service. Even at 9:30PM we had to wait 15 minutes to get drinks delivered and longer still to put our food order in. Hopefully the oversight in service isn't a common thing.
Haberdish hits the mark with craft cocktails, biscuits, and their chicken, but could use a little tweaking in the sides and service areas...4/5.
