- CColinCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoExpectations were blown away to say the least. Richard, our waiter was fantastic, he knew the menu like the back of his hand and gave us recommendations since it was our first time dining at Dean’s. Richard’s customer service was phenomenal and so was the food. Highly recommend.More infoDean's Italian SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Uptown•4.6
- KKarenSouth Carolina •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy sister-in-law and I had dinner before a show at Blumenthal. We both had grilled salmon and shared carrots and maple acorn squash. It was superb! Chocolate tart with butter pecan Gelato was shared for dessert and was outstanding. Our waiter, Nate, was attestation, informative, and made our dining experience a perfect one. We will return!More infoRooster's Wood Fired Kitchen Uptown CharlottePrice: Moderate• European• Uptown•4.8

- NNikkiCharlotte •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was our second visit and this time we bought friends for a pre-theatre dinner. The food was delicious and the portions were the right size. It was a little noisy by the bar so we took a table further in which was perfect. Our server was also friendly, helpful, and efficient.More infoLa Belle HelenePrice: Expensive• French• Uptown•4.6
- SShareeSouth Carolina •12 reviews5.0Dined on 7 Jan 2025Overall K&K was a good experience . The food was good i had fried green tomatoes and my husband had jerk noodle or rice (can’t remember the exact name ) . dinner i had fish and grits and he had catfish and black eyed peas the food was really good . I will say a 20% tip is included however the service we received from the waitress was most definitely not worth 20% . She was spending too much time at one table (im thinking she may have known them ) We both had it to where our drinks was wrong , our water was not adequately refilled. We had to stop her in passing and I had to ask the manager about our drink being incorrect. We have no problem paying or tipping however the service most definitely should be superb. The managers was really nice though. There was no wait , we actually was seated as soon as we came in. Most definitely try it out for yourself. I will go back again if the opportunity ever presents itselfMore infoKitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - CharlottePrice: Expensive• Regional American (Southern)• Uptown•4.2

North Carolina is a state divided when it comes to pork barbecue, but in Charlotte, the two sides of the great debate meet. In various barbecue joints around the city, you can find both the vinegar-based sauce that's popular in the eastern region of North Carolina as well as the more tomato-y option those in the western half of the state prefer. Fried chicken with crispy golden skin and plenty of plump meat is another Charlotte favorite. Coleslaw, rolls and a cold glass of tea (the sweeter, the better) often round out this traditional Southern dish. In contrast to the down-home fare that dominates much of the city's food scene, there are several Vietnamese restaurants around town that serve pho, yellow pancakes and other traditional offerings.
