In Charlotte for business and wanted some good local fair. Fired up the Yelp and see Alexander Michael's getting awesome scores. The map says 1.5 miles away and I don't have a car - going to have to hoof it.
Show up about 7:30pm on a Wed. Place wasn't crowded at all and I got sat right away. The staff was nice. I ordered the Fried Pickles as an appetizer. Some people say they are too salty and I say, "Well, they're pickles." They get paired up with a cup of ranch, but I think they would have been better with Blue Cheese. Hint: use just a little ranch on your fried pickle.
Next up was a bowl of Spicy Crab Soup. This is pretty much an enchilada soup with crab meat in it. Not that that's a bad thing. It's good soup. But spicy? No. No it is not.
Main course is the Blackened Catfish Sandwich. This right here is what I'm talking about. The filet is a monster. A tasty, flakey monster. They pair it up with a tarter sauce (did I detect a pepper in there? Chipotle maybe?) and some kind of other sauce that was like a chunky salsa/sweet-n-sour thing. Doesn't matter. I dumped both of them on. It was tasty as all get out. I devoured the enormous sandwich. The side dish I chose was the Broccoli Slaw and honestly, it tasted like 'healthy'. Skip it. Do the cajun fries instead.
