We typically plan our dining options for each day of the week in CLT by determining who is having drink specials. Nolen has 1/2 off bottles of wine on Tuesday, so of course it's a regular spot for us.
The food is pretty good, the hanger steak with mashed potatoes and brown sauce was very good, and well cooked. Other than that, I really don't remember much else about the food except that it's not bad, but obviously not memorable.
I do have to say that they had funnel cake with Fruit Loop ice cream...which was not only funny, it was a great finish to the hanger steak.
The service can be a bit slow, especially on Tuesdays, but it's still a great value. We typically order 2 bottles of wine between the 3 of us, with 3 entrees and at least 2 deserts. I don't think our bill has ever been over $35 per person which can't be beat.
