| - Yum!
We tried Lupie's for the first time the other night and were SO not disappointed. The nachos were Reason #1 to come back - they were so loaded with cheese, jalepenos, and veggie chili that I barely made a dent in one side (my husband barely made a dent in the other), and I had to take home the rest in a box. The mac and cheese was Reason #2 - my husband got it as a side to his veggie burger, and I think he would have ordered an entire pan if they'd let him. It had that grotesquely delicious cheesiness I remember from church covered dish mac and cheese growing up. Fantastic. Finally, and most satisfying, the banana pudding was Reason #3 to come back. It. Was. Awesome.
The atmosphere reeks of old Charlotte charm, and I loved the clientele - generally older, quiter, more genial than at, say, The Penguin.
I had a teeny wish the menu was a bit more varied, my husband's veggie burger was standard freezer fare (not house-made), and I'd love a craftier beer selection, but overall I imagine we'll be visiting Lupie's pretty often.
