| - Revolution Ale House has all the makings of a good place, but it somehow just didn't really hit the mark for me. The wings were pretty good, though I only had the garlic parmesan, and they came as part of a beer and wings deal (half a dozen wings with a beer for $10). The crust was the best crust I've had from a restaurant pizza in a long time. The ingredients seemed like they were pretty fresh, but the combination of the ingredients together--at least in my pizza--didn't deliver as much as I'd hoped. I had the ogre, which came as a recommendation from the waitress. I pretty much would've eaten the crust with the sauce that came with the garlic knots, but everything else was kinda unerseasoned and less-than-satisfying. I probably should've done what another member of our party did and just ordered the wings.
The service also left much to be desired. I understand that we had a big group (8 people), and there were two more that came way later. The waitress was very, very nice and was cheerful, and we liked her overall. However, it wasn't busy and there were a few things that we had to ask for several times. I don't think I've ever been to a place where I waited 10+ minutes for my beer to come out. We sat there for over 20 minutes before the garlic knots made an appearance. We had to ask for water several times (but she was pretty good about asking if we wanted more beer), and everything else moved a little too slow (not the waitress' fault, I know, but it's counted as part of service). It's an ok place, but with the other offerings available in Charlotte, it's hard to see myself making a point to return.
