| - A friend I was visiting in Charlotte said we had to go by Pike's for the Sunday brunch while I was down. After I arrived, that's where we headed! As I understand, it is in the South End part of the city. I was glad he made the suggestion, as I and my friends had a great brunch experience.
The facade is a nice brick one, looking like another trendy place to go for eats or to hang out in the city, liked how it looked going in. Once inside, you are treated to a interior much more on the old fashioned side as the name suggests. Great look as an old time soda shop combined with a nice dining area on both sides. Very welcoming in design and look. I liked the atmosphere it gave.
As I said, we went for Sunday brunch, which is a buffet there. Man, it was some good stuff. Healthier fare such as fruit, cereals, or light breads, even to scones and a very light coffee cake. For more hardcore eaters, carnivores, and breakfast traditionalists (that would be me), there are eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, french toast, biscuits and gravy, grits, etc. There is also a side station for other main meals faves such as a wonderful beef carved as you come up to ask for it. Most everything I had was great, definitely a three plate brunch for me. The grits were a bit thin and my buds were not wild about the green beans but all in all, it was a great selection and meal.
I recommend going by Pike's for the Sunday Brunch buffet...good price (below 15 bucks as I remember) , great food, and nice staff. I will go back!
