So this place earlier was some Irish pub and then they renovated and opened up as 5 Church. This swanky place is as terrible as it could be. The menu is awfully small and yet they take forever to cook the ordinary food. Do not even consider going there if you are a large group. We went as a team of 15 for lunch and while it wasn't much crowded, the servers were totally clueless and had no basic manners in treating people. The food took so long to come (just basic sandwiches and fries) that they gave the checks to everyone even before the food was out.
This is the only place I have ever paid first without even getting the food. At last the food came out and the servers once again had no idea whom to serve what. They never even apologized for late food or poor service, neither they had any smile or seemed happy to be serving. Nor did any manager came to apologize. And the quantity of the food is also really small.
Their main focus is still on bar and drinks. Their bar is so big, probably that's why this terrible place is surviving as its close to all the pubs in the area and the location is right in the city center.
The awful SMALL menu, absolutely terrible service and overly decorated interiors. This is definitely one of Charlotte's worst place that looks good from outside but is absolutely terrible. I won't recommend this to anyone at all.
