| - Let me start by saying, "What is not to love about Rhino Market and Deli?" We'll start with the location - Rhino sits just west of Uptown on the awesome neighborhood of Wesley Heights. If you live in the neighborhood, you've been to Rhino because it's a one stop shop for some of your shopping needs. You can grab a sandwich, coffee, beer, wine, pre-made meals, and an assortment of other locally crafted food and beverages. With Wesley Heights being more "up and coming," there aren't a ton of places to grab something quick. Rhino definitely fills that niche.
One thing I love about Rhino is the neighborly atmosphere. It's definitely a friendly spot to hang out, read a book, grab a bite to eat, grab a drink, play some trivia, listen to live music, and overall just sit and "be." The staff are always fantastic - friendly, conversational, and fun are words I would use to describe the staff.
Let's talk menu for a minute -- I am a fan of the entire menu, but my favorites are the french toast (YUM -- local bread, real maple syrup -- did I say YUM already?), the ham sandwich, and the grilled cheese with soup. Rhino has amazing, fresh made soups. My favorites are the chicken and rice, chicken noodle, corn chowder (with bacon!), tomato, and broccoli cheddar. You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.
Beer and wine selection are outstanding! I love that Rhino serves a variety of local coffees brewed fresh. Rhino has ample parking and is a family-friendly environment. Sometimes, they have special events like Open Mic Night on Wednesday.
If you have not been to Rhino, add it to your Charlotte Bucket List NOW and go ASAP. You are really missing out on a gem. For all the other Rhino lovers out there, I'll see you around at Rhino.
