Impeccable meal. I absolutely loved this place…read more You have a slight view of the kitchen depending on where you sit. I always love to see people making the food so that's a plus for me. The service was just as great as the food. Our server constantly ensured we were enjoying our meal. The calamari and Brussel sprouts were a great start. The calamari had the perfect crunch and flavor. The Brussel sprouts made me wish I could have them as an appetizer weekly. The short rib was so tender and delicious. Truly I endured every single bite and was sad once I finished it all. Please don't pass up on this place if you're in the area.

Scallops: 4 stars. Well prepared. I enjoy the slight char to the surface but moist texture when biting into it. Accompanying sauce was ok. Beef short ribs: 4 stars tender, but feel that it was a bit plain in flavor. Brussels sprouts: 4 stars. Pretty decent. Not the best but not the worst I've had. Overall a good accompaniment for my dishes.

The beer list is legitimately impressive; easily one of the most extensive and well curated selections I've seen in a while. Whether you're a crisp-Pilsner purest or hunting for something obscure, they've got you covered. Food wise, solid overall. The Brussels sprouts were on point unfortunately the chicharrones fell flat as they were drowned in hot sauce which made them soggy almost immediately. Tip - Try them with the sauce on the side. Spot was quiet on a Wednesday night and the vibe was laid back and unpretentious. This made for efficient service. Not sure how a busier night would unfold. Give this spot a visit simply for the late night beers, bites, and chill vibes.

My mom and I were in town for ChosenCon and staying nearby -- we wanted something light to eat…read morebefore heading back in for panels, and online this place said it had wine and charcuterie which we thought would be perfect. We came in at a time when it wasn't really busy, but it took forever for our server to come around. Ordered two glasses of red and the cheese plate only to be told after we received the wine that there was no charcuterie -- at all. Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food. But overall, a really disappointing experience based on what we expected. And we had to hunt down the server to pay so we could get back to the conference on time.

We came to Charlotte for a concert and decided to stay the night instead of driving home. By the…read moretime we got settled in, dining options were pretty limited, so we searched online and this spot looked like the best choice -- and we're glad we found it. When we pulled up, there was a police outside, which didn't bother us. If anything, it made things feel more secure. They also use a metal detector when you walk in before being seated. Don't let that scare you off though -- this place is a well-oiled machine and everything felt organized and under control. Our server was fantastic: calm, attentive, and never pushy. I ordered the country fried steak with collards and mashed potatoes with gravy, and my husband got a burger. My meal was excellent, and it came with a perfectly flaky biscuit. The tea was Southern SWEET tea, too. My husband said his burger was good for a diner, fresh vegetables and the fries were seasoned well. The diner itself is adorable, full of character and charm. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely come back.

Review for Midnight Diner…read more classic, retro-style diner--the kind with a counter, cozy booths, and a nostalgic vibe. The only thing missing is a waitress calling you "hon," and honestly, that might be part of the charm. I was craving a West Coast favorite--chicken fried steak--which I quickly learned is called country fried steak here in the South. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner... it didn't matter. I wanted comfort food, and this place delivered. I ordered takeout and picked it up without any hassle. They have their own private parking lot, which is a huge plus, especially for an Uptown location. It's situated right across from the Hyatt Regency and along the light rail, so I can imagine it gets very busy--particularly if you're heading to or leaving the Spectrum Center. This is exactly the kind of spot where you grab a solid meal to soak up whatever you've been celebrating. And the food? Generous. Very generous. My order included: * Country fried steak with gravy * Mashed potatoes * Pancakes * And, because curiosity got the best of me, their coconut French toast That coconut French toast was the wildcard--and it did not disappoint. Sweet, indulgent, and definitely a treat. Between that and the rest of the meal, it was a lot of food, but I was very happy. The price point is reasonable, the service was fast, and the whole experience felt easy and reliable--exactly what you want from a diner. Next time, I'd like to sit inside and enjoy the full experience, because the atmosphere looks like part of the fun. As someone still exploring Charlotte as a foodie after relocating from the West Coast, it's always nice to find places that deliver those nostalgic comfort-food moments--and this one absolutely did. Bottom line: Great comfort food, generous portions, easy parking, and a classic diner vibe. A solid go-to spot in Uptown, especially when you're hungry and want something satisfying.

It was a very comfortable and welcoming experience. The staff were so kind and easy to talk to as well as very attentive. It was not too loud or noisy and we were able to relax, talk and have a great brunch with some delicious food. The brunch menu has some great options! The crab dip was great and the french toast was amazing. The crab dip was not too heavy and the bread was perfectly soft. The drinks (coffee and ginger ale) also came with refills. Everything was perfect from the service to the food!

Too many choices. Just red something simple, delicious, and contorting. But who? Enter QCBC. It's getting late. I'm hungry. And I want something simple. And honestly, The Alley is really hyper confusing. So I pull into QCBC just looking for a burger and a beer. And dayum!! Did they deliver!!! First...my bartender comes in super cool. She explains the menu and recommends a beer. I keep it simple...the QCBC Burger with provolone and fries. She recommends the Kolsch. I'm in!! Long story short...perfection!!! The burger is cooked exact to spec. The fries are crispy, seasoned and delicious, and the beer is a pitch-perfect match. Faith restored!!! I was skeptical going in. Walking out...full, happy, and looking forward to the next time I can settle up to the bar and enjoy another perfect burger and a beer experience. Seriously kids...hit it out of the park!!!

That also includes the Huntersville location, which I would put third (but not bad) of the three I have visited. Another plus... They had a Bold Rock Cider in a bottle, which I had never had before. Figured I'd give it a whirl. I'm glad I whirled because it was excellent. If I didn't try it, I never would have known. The service here was excellent as well. If there is one negative, it's a small bathroom that cannot accommodate that many people at peak times. Overall, still recommended.

She was very nice and took our order and helped us with any questions we had. Our server was very slow on her check ins but it could have been that we were in a rush and it just felt that way. We only ordered appetizers and those'd seemed to take a long time to come out. When we got our food, some of the chips for the guacamole were stale, the fries seemed burnt a little and the wings were just ok. My wife had asked for a cocktail and it came out very late in the meal. After we asked for the check, again it took a while for our server to come collect. Also I stopped the hostess to ask if we could change one of the tvs and she acted as if she couldn't do it and told us to ask our server. The place seemed nice but the experience was not great.

The staff stood out, both our waitress and the other waiters were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. We ordered a mix of food for the table: tacos, fried pickles, steak and fries, cauliflower, and a burger. The highlights for us were definitely the fried pickles and the cauliflower--both were good and something I'd come back for. Everything else was just alright, hence the reason I deducted a star. We also loved that there was a pool table it added a lot to the experience but I do wish it was free instead of $2 a game. Still, not a dealbreaker. Overall, it's a great spot with a fun atmosphere, good food, and attentive service. Definitely worth checking out, especially for trivia night.

I was saddened to see them close down during the Covid pandemic, and was very happy to see them come back! Unfortunately my office isn't as close by and I don't find myself Uptown as often anymore so it's taken me a while to come visit. I got to finally rectify that after a Hornets game found me close by and in need of a beverage. It was just how I remembered it. The bartenders were friendly, there was a mix of local regulars and some curious out-of-towners. The vibes were great and so was the Guinness. Whether you live or work Uptown and are in need of a new regular watering hole, or you find yourself massing through, The Daily is a great place to take a load off and enjoy some hearty food and strong drinks.
