Just moved to the city and I'm excited to get out and try some new restaurants. What's your all-time favorite spot to grab a bite in Charlotte? (Bonus points if you can tell me what makes it awesome!)

The Goodyear House is a hidden gem. Awesome atmosphere and creative menu (I highly recommend the corn curls). Only issue is that parking can be tricky, but worth the extra effort, IMO.

+1 for New Zealand. Love their rolls and sashimi!

Jinya Ramen Bar has been good to me since I’ve been going. It’s right downtown(bottom of the Ally Charlotte Center). Only had a few different things but plenty to choose from(unless diet restrictions)

like

I would highly recommend the fig tree. It is definitely highly-priced but definitely a great place. Love the elk chop, and grilled octopus, and the flourless chocolate cake is to die for.

I love the Eagle. Definitely worth checking out.

Under the radar spots:
Sir Edmond Halley’s
Lebowski’s
Lupies
131 Main
Village Tavern
Reid’s Myers Park
Lang Van
Alexander Michael’s

like

Sir Ed’s? You seem cool. Let’s not tell too many people though.

For sushi lovers - Mr. Tokyo off Independence Blvd (Flagship location) - $25 all you can eat, including chef specialty rolls. It is NOT buffet style, everything is made to order. Only downside is expect to wait ~30 minutes for a table of two.

OMG please tell me you guys are kidding LOL.

What's your preference? Italian, american, chinese or japanese cuisine? Do you want an indoor or outdoor set-up?

Chima Steakhouse- it's like a Brazilian Steakhouse where they continue to bring different meat entrees to your table.

Best for having good food, drinks, and ambience - The Waterman and Barcelona Wine Bar. I also really like Copper

You should definitely try Midwood Smokehouse. Me and my family go here all the time. My favorite? It has to bo their Texas-Style Brisket! Now I'm drooling!

Doan’s for Vietnamese. Sri Balaji Cafe and Chaat n Dosa for authentic south Indian food which is very different from what you would find in a typical Indian joint.

Have been to around ~100 restaurants in Charlotte, these are my top recs
Leah & Louise
Para
The Crunkleton ($1 oyster mondays for the win) and their other dishes are delicious as well
Okus happy hour deal (half off rolls Mon/Wed)
Idlewild - drinks only but you give them flavors/vibes rather than choose from a menu
Futa buta - fire ramen
North harbor club - sitting outside next to the lake and eating some of their bang bang shrimp in the summer is a vibe
Dogwood chefs experience - great deal, all seasonal dishes ($50 and you’re stuffed after the first few courses and can do a drink pairing for each course for $25)
Les banh mi - note it’s cash only
Comet grill - wings, dive bar
Ace no. 3 (Belmont location) for a good smash burger
