Two killer breakfast options include the soft conchas enveloping barbacoa cheese, creamy avocado, and scrambled eggs, and the specialty sourdough jalapeno bagels with fried eggs, queso, and bacon. Owner Dan Nguyen and her family-run Vietnamese restaurant are so beloved in Charlotte that regulars started a fundraising campaign to keep the place open through the pandemic. The menu at lunch and dinner still has more than 130 items, and Nguyen still uncannily remembers what customers like when they come back. Joe and Katy Kindred’s Davidson restaurant Kindred was the area’s first to get serious (and well-deserved) national attention. But Hello Sailor, which dropped anchor in 2017, brings the fun and flare.
The Best Restaurants In Asheville, North Carolina
Here are 17 essential (and local) places to peruse, ranging from upscale to low-key. What is it about Philadelphia’s favorite sandwich that drives Charlotte so wild? It’s a walk-up counter with limited outdoor seating, and fans stand in long lines to grab a classic version of a Philly. Natasha moved to North Carolina for college years ago (but she's not trying to age herself here). Her days were spent reading a book on the beach and enjoying a cold glass of sweet tea in between classes at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina
This cash-only mobile restaurant serves hot food straight out of its walk-up window including chicken and lamb over rice with pita, falafel salad, Philly cheese steaks, and chicken gyros. Located in the Wesley Heights neighborhood, Pizza Baby, like its name, is youthful and playful, with spritzy aperitivos and sprightly menu fonts and doodles. Order takeout, or dine in for an energetic, multisensory experience — scents of fermented sweet-salty-soft dough, sounds of staff serving, and sights of the cool, airy Los Angeles-meets-Rome aesthetic. Save room for chef Trey Wilson’s Brussels sprouts and sesame seed-crusted pizza, inspired by travels to New York, and the plentiful portion of soft serve (add amaro). Don’t be shy about blanketing everything — the remnants of crispy crust or the lush burrata — in that bonafide Sicilian olive oil or the dipping trio, featuring a crushable Calabrian chili red sauce.
Scissors & Scotch Brings the Ultimate Men's Grooming Experience to Charlotte
Wagyu pot roast, miso mac and cheese, and broccoli grilled with bone marrow butter will barely leave room for desserts like salted honey pie. Supperland is a country-inspired steakhouse with a stylish and modern twist. The most unique thing about this place is the building it’s in; a former church that has been fully renovated into the amazing place it is today. The menu features mainly Southern specialties along with a selection of wines and cocktails and fresh, local ingredients are used whenever possible. Housed in a two-story brick building that once served as a pharmacy, this award-winning restaurant in the small college town of Davidson is worth the half-hour detour. True to its moniker, the husband and wife owned eatery is warm and intimate, with an ever-evolving seasonal menu highlighting house-made pasta as well as locally-sourced produce and protein.
Calle Sol is as dependable as a 1998 Toyota Camry—it’s the restaurant we turn to whenever we want a guaranteed excellent lunch or dinner. For lunch, go with a Tampa- or Miami-style Cuban sandwich with a side of fried sweet plantains. And even though you might have other responsibilities, you should still pair it with an off-menu spicy margarita that uses muddled rocoto chili peppers. This spot sits on a corner in one of Charlotte’s most walkable neighborhoods, which means it’s always buzzing, and you should definitely make a reservation. Union BBQ is boldly serving Texas barbecue in North Carolina out of a weekend-only food truck.

Easy-going and family-friendly, this hot dog joint has a longstanding devotion to Sahlen’s smokehouse hot dogs and sausages, as well as to handcrafting its own pickles, onion rings and chili. Try the JJ’s No. 1 Red Hot with chile relish, diced onions, mustard, and a dill pickle spear (with the option to deviate with a turkey, veggie, or all-beef dog). The bread at this tiny order-at-the-window restaurant is so damn good, they named the whole restaurant after it. They use Japanese white bread dough to make puffy donuts and cinnamon rolls that people line up for, especially on weekend mornings. The restaurant has only a handful of outdoor tables, so be prepared to either wait for one or make your own seat on the curb. Charlotte clearly hasn’t had enough of these giant food halls, so much so that Monarch Market just opened with 12 food vendors and three bars in the center of Uptown.
It’s a walk-in only spot with a limit of six people per party — a choice that reflects a dedication to focused table service and a come-as-you-are neighborhood feel. Enjoy the tucked-away pool table that lives in the back, maybe on Amaro Mondays. When Kindred first opened in Davidson in 2015, the cult-favorite dish was milk bread — pans of golden rolls based on a Japanese baking technique. It was such a hit, it became the inspiration for the Kindreds’ breakfast and brunch cafe, Milkbread, first in Davidson and now at their stylish reimagining of the classic Central Avenue Dairy Queen in Plaza Midwood.
Good Food on Montford
It had us at “cheese cloud,” a fluffy pile of fluffy Parmesan or pecorino that customers can add to pasta for $3. Restaurant power couple Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown always pay attention to the details, and their foray into Italy is no different. The menu of six or so housemade pastas and sharing-size entrees like branzino is rounded out with small plates (toasted hazelnuts and the whole fried artichoke are standouts) that you can keep all to yourself.
The layers of flavor in this food are sure to leave you impressed and craving more. Heirloom is a haven for all foodies fixated on where the ingredients on their plates come from and how they are sourced. Their secret chili recipe has been passed down for generations – you can order it on its own, as a topping for any other menu item, or by the pound to take home. It’s a no-frills roadside joint in the heart of NoDa that always has a line around the block. This hidden gem is the heavenly hole-in-the-wall that no trip to Charlotte is complete without. It’s a family-owned and operated establishment with the current third generation learning the ropes.
Opened in the spring of 2015, Chef Michael Shortino’s Futo Buta continues to serve residents and visitors of the Queen City creative takes on ramen as well as other Japanese dishes. In addition to ramen bowls made with pecan-smoked pork belly, the menu includes Lowcountry-smoked pork belly buns, spicy tuna rice crispy squares, and duck confit donburi. The most amazing aroma wafting along the North Tryon Street sidewalk by day or by night (it’s impossible to ignore after stepping out of a show at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center).
We recommend starting with smoked trout deviled eggs or hush puppies with sweet tea butter. The brunch here is the full package with a dedicated section just for biscuits, exactly how we like it. Enjoy all the local classics with a side of Southern hospitality at Haberdish. Since 1987, 300 East has called a refurbished Victorian house in the Dilworth neighborhood home.
