Hidden downtown Charlotte gem with delicious food and liquor options in a fun upscale atmosphere. 4.4 stars
Food: 4.5, Atmosphere: 4, Service: 4
Cost to worth it rating: 3 (apps $6-12, burgers $9-13)
Return worthiness: yes
Highlights:
- Burgers: meaty with a good char flavor and a soft bun
- PM burger: pulled pork was soft and juicy with tasty BBQ sauce and a little crunchy heat from the fried jalapeƱos. Meat overload but in a good southern way
- Fried pickles: I'm an aficionado and these were one of the best. Significant textured crispy breading of thin pickle chips.
- Whiskey flight: you choose from huge list of options. Beware: I was expecting small taster glasses but there are 3 very full shot glasses which is a bit much for one person :-o
- Banana pudding milkshake: nice fresh banana flavor the hub loved with booze to boot
- Ham and cheese: fried flat puck of fried mozzarella with prosciutto on top. Right up the hub's alley.
- Sweet potato tots: sweet and tender inside yet crispy outside
- Tall tea cocktail: not too sweet and refreshing
- Waitress: helped pick the whiskeys for me since I'm a novice and gave comments on dishes we were considering
- Atmosphere: nice decor inside with large bright music-related art to make it pretty upscale but with 80s and 90s music videos playing on the wall
- Hours: open late (close when bars do at 2am) for night owl bites
Midlights:
- Mac and cheese: fine cheese flavor but didn't care for the thick noodles
Lowlights:
- A little hard to find but look for the signs. My phone maps told me it was on 6th but it was off of 5th
Loved this place's character and the food to back it up.
