When friends recommended Dish to me and my wife, we had only been in Charlotte for a month or so. They gave it a two word description: comfort food. They weren't kidding. Being a Michigan native, I was eager to sample some southern eats, so I had to start off with the fried green tomatoes, which had a light breading with just a hint of cayenne. My wife ordered the chicken and dumplings and I don't think I've seen her that happy with a meal in a long time. I had the cajun meatloaf, and it was a serious slice of meatloaf.
It was one of those meals where you almost annoy yourself by saying how good the food is after each bite.
Don't go there expecting a fine dining experience. This isn't to say that the services wasn't good because it was, but it's definitely a dive, and it's somehow the perfect feel for the food.
When my wife's family came for a visit we took them there, and it is literally the first time in the seven years that i've known them that everyone really liked their meal.
