Small place with LARGE taste is the best way to sum up this place. I've had this place saved (bookmarked) on Yelp for some time now and was finally able to check it out yesterday for lunch. While in the area for an appointment that we were a hour early to I decided to check ole trusty (Yelp) for nearby lunch and a list came up in which several were bookmarked and as I browsed and read aloud while being chauffeured by my husband who was more than ready to stop for food he made a quick turn, it appears Fenwicks was on the right as I read the list of nearby places and he pulled right in.
The parking lot is their downside and almost warranted us to leave and leave the bookmark and try again another day. We pulled around the narrow side to the back which was just as full as the front, there are like 7spots on the front and side total and about 5 in the back. We noticed cars in this BP lot that could very well be in the restaurant but didn't want to take any chances. We began to pull out and leave when a lady walked out and waved us down saying she was done and leaving (A SIGN to STAY). We parked front door style ;-)
We were welcomed by not one but two and then a third person. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth and began to browse the menu. I initially saved this place because I planned to join them for brunch but I figured if there is a huge hype over brunch the lunch couldn't be too far behind if not better.
We ordered the hummus appetizer, a veggie burger with grilled onions and mushrooms and Swiss and a beef burger made the same way both with fresh cut fries.
When I say the veggie burger was AMAZING, I mean it. My husband burger was juicy and tasty as well per him. The fries were super fresh and tasty.
We noticed a couple sharing bread pudding which is our favorite and they shared with us that it's the best in Charlotte so we planned to try BUT was to full after eating so we will be back to try the bread pudding.
The only con is the size of this place and the parking situation.
