I have to be upfront about my 5-Star rating: it's heavily influenced by my nostalgic feelings for Dish. When I first moved to Charlotte, broke and homesick, a friend brought me to Dish. The only thing I could afford was their tomato soup and a biscuit... but that was all I needed. LORD! It was so good!
Also good are the salmon patties (I suggest getting mashed sweet potatoes and Lima beans on the side), their pot roast, deviled eggs (most dishes come with one as a side but order extras!), and chicken salad. The only item I've tried that didn't really do it for me was the chicken and dumplings.
Service is good enough, very casual and sometimes I've waited longer than I should've for my check. But they're good people. The decor is like my gramma's kitchen so I basically wish I could live there. All in all it's a cozy little place. I've seen Plaza Midwood change so drastically in my 12 years in Charlotte. Dish has managed to stick around and I hope it does for many, many more years.
