Everything was so wonderful Service and atmosphere great Outdoor area looked awesome

A special for the evening - curry!
Greg M.

Started our vacation with a visit to 300 East, which we had seen featured in a past episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It was a really nice meal and evening, and we look forward to returning again. What we loved: * quaint location in a pretty neighborhood location. * easy free parking * cool homey vibe in a converted house * creative cocktails * exceptional hummus with pickled vegetables to start. * generous portions made with fresh ingredients * best in class French onion soup What didn't go as well * we were seated at an out of the way table on the second floor. It was both a little loud from the way noise rose, and we felt a bit forgotten with service that was a bit slow at multiple points. All in all, it feels a bit like going to a great meal at the house of a friend who can really cook. Would probably make a regular place to eat if we lived closer, but probably not exceptional enough to plan to regularly return as a special destination.

Breakfast nachos were a brunch special. Yum!

It's been years since I have been here even though it's wonderful. Came here for brunch with a friend. We had a reservation but arrived 20 minutes early. They still were able to seat us when we arrived and we enjoyed a space upstairs by the windows. Our server was very attentive. We enjoyed the seasonal sweet roll (dark chocolate and vanilla) and I enjoyed an apple cider mimosa along with my breakfast tacos. The tacos didn't skimp on the eggs or chorizo, which I appreciate. My friend enjoyed the French toast special.

Great brunch experience today! We shared a cast iron sweet roll with mascarpone and blueberry glaze. Delicious. And my Grits Bowl did not disappoint. Cute and spacious front patio. And plenty of indoor seating in the cute old house.

Wow, hardly never do I say 6 stars but our Sunday Brunch experience was exactly that. We both got the breakfast burger special. It came with grit fries. I substituted the sausage burger for a veggie burger and that was perfect. The server was realized and helpful. Service was fast which was great because we were hungry. We would definitely return. They have a variety of seating options and we even saw small dogs on the patio. This is a family-friend restaurant.

Breakfast Tacos

My friend lives in the South End and recommended this spot for brunch. I ended up ordering the breakfast tacos with fruit on the side and a mimosa. When we arrived, there was a 30-minute wait for indoor seating since we didn't have a reservation, but we were able to get an outdoor table right away. The tacos were tasty, and the service was solid. Overall, it's a cute place to catch up over breakfast or brunch.

Overall experience was a mixed bag this time. Cons: 1. Host was inattentive and had me seat myself. 2. Food was underwhelming. 3. Flies outside. Pros: 1. Waitress was great. 2. Outdoor seating was cute until the food arrived (see con #3). 3. Tasty brownie for my birthday!

Pasta

Our experience at 300 East was just okay. I was a little disappointed because I have heard such great things! I will say, the outdoor seating is very cute. We were in a great spot and it would've been perfect if it wasn't for the bugs. Our service was okay...we did end up having to grab ourselves silverware and salt/pepper but not a big deal. We all agreed all of our food was just okay. Nothing in particular stood out. The pasta special they had was definitely a least favorite.

Grilled Heritage Pork Chop
Ryan H.

Must try: Pull-Apart Rolls and Lamb Chop! Why: The Pull-Apart Rolls were made with pumpkin, sea salt, and herb butter. I ate 4 out of the 6 rolls before and after my entree because they were so tasty, and my friend had the other 2 rolls. I also loved the Pork Chop cooked medium, which was juicy and tender with slivers of delicious fat. The large Pork Chop sat on top of a bed of pilaf and kale, which seemed to be well seasoned. I washed it all down with a Noda Brewery Pumpkin Ale. Notes: Super cute restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was 6:30pm on a Monday with beautiful Fall weather so we sat outside to people watch while enjoying our meal. The workers were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. There were daily specials also that sounded amazing, next time though! There's a convenient parking lot in back of restaurant. Had a wonderful dining experience with a friend I've not seen in a while.

Vanilla Brioche French Toast with apple and nuts
Caroline K.

Phenomenal brunch menu!! Everyone at my table got something different and everyone loved their dish whether it was the breakfast pizza, French toast, eggs Benedict, breakfast tacos. Really high quality ingredients and dishes came out fresh and warm. Waiter was very helpful in recommending dishes, was very fast and attentive to our drinks. Very homey feel and the aesthetic was really cute outside and inside. Plenty of seating

300 East has long been one of Charlotte's best restaurants. I've been dining here since the early '90s, and now that I'm living in the area again, it's become a weekly go-to. Tuesdays are my favorite--half-price wine by the glass makes it the perfect time for me and my girlfriends to hang out in the late afternoon or early evening. When the weather's nice, the patio is one of the best places to be. The food is always consistently excellent, but what truly sets 300 East apart is the staff--many of whom I now consider friends. Their warmth and hospitality make every visit feel like coming home. Don't miss out on this Charlotte classic. It's a gem that only gets better with time. bring your pup to the patio !

Sweet potato Gorgonzola, Hamburger,
Marin J.

Wow. Cool place. Old house converted into a dining experience always catches my attention. One, for the preservation, two for the use of porch, lawn and rooms to create an experience. The drinks were really interesting and actually contained alcohol. Nice little shot of bourbon to go with my burger. I asked for well done and it was a tad too well done. Next time, I'll know that medium would do the trick. Dining companion had the salmon. She didn't speak to me, she was busy forkful after forkful. We shared the sweet potato ravioli....I am not always certain a chef knows what to do with the dangerously powerful gorgonzola, but trust me. They used it to just kick your tastebuds a little and balance what is now officially an overused sweet potato as an ingredient. Makes me wonder what they could do with an avocado. The cool little booths were fun to feel private and connected at the same time. The only downer was somebody in the back had a screaming fit (thought it was employee related) but no knives were flying as it was a personal matter that needed to be resolved out of earshot of the clients. I can't wait to try brunch!

This food is not good and overpriced. I ordered the chicken biscuit and the biscuit was badly burnt and the chicken had no flavor. It tasted very bland. Nobody even checked in with us to ask how it was. It was also a very uncomfortable booth and the restaurant was very loud. I would not recommend this restaurant. I usually don't even leave reviews but the food was so bad i had too.

Is 300 east fancy enough for a prom dinner or would you look out of place?

It is a local restaurant with great ambiance with excellent food. As a neighborhood restaurant, the atmosphere is casual, especially on the patio, but I have seen several young people there in formal wear. I don't think you'd feel awkward or out of… Read more

As a foodie transplant from the West Coast, walking into Reid's immediately reminded me of a…read morebeloved high-end grocer back home--something along the lines of Draeger's: beautifully curated, family-owned, and designed to feel like a destination rather than just a place to shop. There's a real sense of history here. From what I understand, Reid's is one of the oldest grocers in Charlotte, and that legacy shows in the details. The rich green tile, classic signage, and thoughtfully designed layout create an elevated, almost European-style market experience. It feels polished, intentional, and welcoming all at once. What stands out: * The store is beautifully merchandised and carefully curated with specialty and seasonal items you don't always find elsewhere. * The wine bar and café concept make this more than a grocery stop--it's a place to linger. I've enjoyed flights, tastings, and brunch on the patio, and each visit has felt like a small occasion. * Location-wise, it really depends on which store you're visiting. The SouthPark and Myers Park locations have easy, convenient parking, and there's also a newer location in Ballantyne (near Pineville). The Uptown locations, while not necessarily "easy parking," are incredibly walkable--perfect if you live, work, or have meetings nearby. If you're already Uptown, this is a fantastic stop to pick up elevated items for a beautiful dinner--think wine, specialty cheeses, or even something indulgent like caviar to round things out. One thing I appreciate is that Reid's doesn't try to be everything to everyone. It's not an organic-focused market like Whole Foods, and that's okay--it serves a different purpose. The clientele here tends to be people looking for specialty ingredients, elevated prepared foods, and a more curated shopping experience. Many shoppers probably visit both stores depending on their needs, and I find myself doing the same. When Reid's really shines: During the holidays and special seasons. Their selection of unique, festive, and hard-to-find items makes it a go-to for entertaining or finding something a little extra special. Overall, Reid's feels like a true Charlotte institution--elegant, distinctive, and consistently well executed. It's the kind of place that makes grocery shopping feel enjoyable again, and I'm looking forward to continuing to explore more of what they offer as I keep eating my way through Charlotte. Bottom line: A beautifully curated local market with history, charm, and a destination-worthy wine bar--perfect for specialty shopping, brunch, and seasonal finds.

Upon arrival, they were cleaning up and the hot food section was already closed. I went to the register and told them my name. I was handed a bag and I was on my way.

Or you can take the light rail and get off on the Convention center stop and walk up to the restaurant. Everything was packaged well and very tasty. I will come again when I am in the area!

Crispy, spicy crust with warm pimento cheese oozing out of the center. Add the house made buttermilk dip and it's pure heaven. Everything else was top notch as well. Flavorful and tender calamari, freshly made clam chowder, seafood tagliatelle, and a wagyu burger that absolutely melts in your mouth with two smashed patties. One thing was better than the other. This place is definitely a staple anytime we're out in Charlotte.
