I was pleasantly surprised at my Char Bar No 7 experience. I'm not a huge fan of the food at the Hickory Tavern so wasn't too excited to try this reinvented venue previously a Hickory Tavern. Walking up to the entrance I noticed a substantial outside seating area with a great relaxed feel. I could definitely see hanging out with a group of people when the weather gets a bit cooler. The interior has a warm lake house feel with lots of tv visibility. My buddy and I were there for a late lunch so the restaurant was almost empty. I was most impressed with the service. Our server was fantastic. He really knew the menu well and recommend the Southwestern Burger. It was spicy and cooked to perfection. I don't eat beef often so this was a welcome treat and I'm glad that it actually met up to how the waiter had talked the burger up. He recommend getting the onion rings & that was on target as well. Fresh, made from scratch in the restaurant and they sure tasted that way. Great food, great service and a comfortable atmosphere. Looking forward to trying out the new location closer to home off of Weddington & McKee Rd!
