We have been to Haberdish twice now and have yet to have something we didn't love. I would recommend this restaurant along with Davidson Street Public House as the two mush try places in NoDa.
The old brick building housing the restaurant was abandoned a year and a half ago when I first came to Charlotte. They have done an amazing job turning something that looked like a tear down into a building with character and great ambiance. I'm excited to dine in the outdoor patio when the weather gets better. They have large barn doors in the inside space that open up to connect the two areas.
Of course you have to get the fried chicken. The 2 piece dark meat, a thigh and leg, is only $6 and the two piece white is $8. Not a bad deal for the quality they offer. It's hands down the best fried chicken I've had in the city and maybe anywhere. I love the extra crispy crust, seasoned to perfection and the tender moist meat inside. Fried chicken doesn't seem like it would be hard to do right, but it really is. They've figured out how to make it just the way I like it.
So far we've a handful of sides - the sweet potato dumplings, mac and cheese, hush puppies, house pickles, and the cornbread bread pudding. They have all been excellent, particularly the hush puppies and dumplings.
The full bar has a decent selection of beers and a great variety of cocktails.
Luckily I live right down the street so I can now frequent this place as much as I want. The food is decadent so I'll probably keep it to once a month at best.
