This past Sunday, I celebrated my birthday with friends but I was a little disappointed with the meal I ordered. Nonetheless, after reaching out to the restaurant and subsequently speaking to the GM, Krisztian Martin, about my experience he was very gracious and apogized for the meal and in the breakdown of our initial communication. I'm so happy he made this gesture because I do enjoy coming to location. Except for this one time the meal was off, the food is always amazing, the staff amazing, and the ambiance of the restaurant is amazing. Thank you, Krisztian Martin, for re-affirming that Burton's still remains in my Top 3 restaurants to dine. Now if y'all can bring back the yummy calamari to the appetizer menu--great! The General Tso califlower is awesome too, but the calamari a favorite read more

Seven of us: son & wife, three teenage grandchildren, wife and I. Nice interior and a covered outside eating area if weather was clement. Really has the makings of a 5-star restaurant, but there were some off-putting things that got in the way. Menu is excellent. Lots of choices, your place mat is your menu until you order. Our server stuck to his order of march: drinks, appetizers, mains desserts. It was mostly a non-alcohol dinner, so the drinks were an odd mix of soda water and colored drinks with flags. Can't tell you about wine list or other prices. Order taking took awhile and we got through it. My son and I each had the Steak Frites ($39.70). Nice portions. Suggest you order meat cooked to a higher level of doneness as they tend to go light on cooking. I ordered medium and got almost rare. Son ordered medium well and got high medium. Truffle fries were plentiful and a bit too salty with the Kosher salt. A decent dinner. One Maxx Burger ($21.85) inhaled by the 16 year old male. Liked it. One Kid Chicken Tenders ($10.30) with three sides. She liked the mashed potatoes and the chicken. One Chicken Picatta ($25.50), a special. Son paid the bill, I don't have receipt. Wife liked the chicken and the accompanying spaghetti with capers was very good. She took home a portion good for lunch the next day. One Pappardelle Bolognese ($29.35) well enjoyed by granddaughter. One California Chicken Sandwich ($20.70). Daughter-in-law ate half of it. Not a big eater. I did not like the finished meal plates snapped up one at a time. We were talking and it took awhile. Suggest you tell your waiters/bussers to wait until everyone is done, to ask if it is OK to take the plates and get it done. The slow eaters are under the gun to hurry up...and we, after dinner, thought that Burton's wanted diners to move quickly through their meals and clear out for other guests. This was evident when our server, who was not very well-versed, asked for dessert orders. We said no desserts. He left the table for a rather long time and returned, again asking for dessert orders. Obviously he was stymied not having that item accomplished. He left. Again, after quite a pause, we flagged another server down and asked for our bill. So, great menu and decent offerings, but we felt rushed. We all agreed, over ice cream bought at another vendor. Will be back. Burton's has a lot going for it, so will be worth your time, effort and money. read more

Came here for dinner on a Sunday with my parents. We started with the she crab soup and firecracker shrimp. Both were good. I was pleasantly surprised by the she crab soup, decent amount of crab and good texture for a soup. The firecracker shrimp was well fried. I feel like it could've used just a little more spice maybe to elevate it. For entrees we ordered the Mediterranean chicken risotto, the burger (maxxed) and the crab crusted haddock. My mom like the risotto overall but found the chicken slightly dry. My dad could barely fit the burger in his mouth but he finished off. The parmesan truffle fries were very good. The crab crusted haddock was good but I wish they proved more sauce instead of just the drizzle around the edge. The staff here were very friendly though and the restaurant was fairly spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend just parking by the Harris Teeter as it's easier. read more

The General Manager, Krisztian Martin, suggested the Cajun Shrimp Pasta; it was absolutely amazing. I know where I'm having my birthday dinner. He is amazing; he made me feel like family & i can tell it was sincere:) I usually do Steak 48 but not this year; I'm choosing Burtons Grill & Bar the Gm & Renee & everyone makes you feel like you belong Keep up excellent customer service skills if i could give 10 stars I would thanks a million read more

Gotta start this off talking about the she-crab soup: BOMB! I'm still thinking about it. Creamy, good chunks of crab & the perfect temperature. Ugh. I'd go back just for that! The drinks were good too. I honestly forgot what we got but both were great. My friend liked the short rib, I like the steak frites. We both had the truffle fries, they were hot and well seasoned. Our server Justin was very attentive and patient with us. Kept us updated on the status of our orders and made sure to ask if we needed refills on our drink. It was a Thursday night & surprisingly busy. We had a table for 2 and waited for about 10 minutes for an empty table. Pretty aesthetic place and plenty of room between tables so that you couldn't hear conversations between other tables. Would go again! read more

I ordered the chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun and onion rings. The food came out hot and fresh. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. We ate outside for an amazing atmosphere. They have a dedicated fryer for their onion rings. My companion got the burger with onion rings on it and said it was incredible. You can't miss Burton's for an amazing dining experience that takes precautions with food allergies. read more

3+. If I could rate that I saw a review about how delicious the burgers were -so I headed on over for lunch It was a Saturday so it was pretty busy so I nabbed the last space at the bar It's a very welcoming and lovely space - I liked the ambiance . The workers were very very busy and they were going at a fast pace -a smooth oiled machine you could tell The prices are .... Not cheap - but with prices going up so quickly all the time it's hard to know if they were re sent raised or what. That said- a great environment and very good to great food is WORTH more -to a foodie I ordered the burger - cooked medium I waited at least 30 min for it-but that's the nice thing about sitting at the bar. You can watch all the activity and look around and not be bored and get a feel for the place. When it came, it looked very nice on the plate-the brioche bun is huge-and being slightly gluten intolerant I could eat it, but I did not eat the whole bun because it is super thick. I wish I could say that about the meat! I was surprised at how thin the patty was considering the price of the burger, and especially how thick the bun was!!! It's not that it was super thin, but it was thin for that price point-and it was not cooked medium. It was completely brown throughout, but that's probably because it was thinner. I can eat well done but it's not my first choice. So to me for the price of the meal, it wasn't worth it, but I would go back and order a dish that is not a hamburger and give them another chance because I think they deserve it with everything else being a very positive experience I've got to look thru my 35,000 pictures to find more from this restaurant-cause I know I took more! I'll try to add them read more

Good was pretty much tasteless, service was mediocre, and it was a loud environment on a Saturday early evening. I received a survey from the restaurant which I answered honestly and a note to email the manager, which I did. No response. Would not recommend for the prices we paid and bland food. read more

Always hv to order the Classic Burger w/out pickles n cheese then add additional onions n slather on the ketchup...ohhh it hits the spot. When I crave a juicy burger I always come here. Pricey but oh so meaty. A great treat. A place to treat a friend or two. Usually love to sit in the patio but td was just a tad bit cold. Wish the server were a bit friendlier n not so serious but I tipped him anyway with the automatic tip on the paying device. I guess that's how they want to appear...a bit on the serious side? read more

Stopped into Burton's for brunch and it went very well. Decided to sit outside as the weather was fantastic. Had to wait a bit for the waitress but service after that was great. Ordered the Avocado BLT. A good sandwich overall. Well toasted bread, good content and what is important is the balance with the avocado. Overall a good sandwich and fries were hot and crispy. Will check out the dinner menu at some point in the future. read more

Their "California Risotto" (???) made me and my spouse sick -- don't eat here!!! Their food was really good once, whoever took over killed it! Such a shame, the restaurant was so great once. :-( read more

Stopped in on a whim, sat at the bar in a few of the last open spots in the place during brunch and got immediate and friendly service. Great burger and bloody. Blue cheese stuffed olives are a nice touch. Very nice interior. Will be back to try dinner! read more

I have to start by giving a big shout out to the management team here. Krisztian (and Marie) made sure when a visit not to their expectation was had by my family, that they encouraged a return visit--that previous experience was not their norm. I had written the positives and negatives in their personal survey. Shows that they read them! And they care about their customers! It was a surprisingly busy Sunday after a Friday Valentine's Day. We were acknowledged upon our reservation arrival and seated within 5-10 minutes. The service was good- we received our appetizer quickly and before the meal. Delivery of dishes was well timed. Server was great balance of checking in but also giving us space. Appetizer of calamari was good - was it the best I've had, no- but lightly battered with a good tartar for dipping. My house salad was well delicious. The fine balance of flavors and ingredients just hit the mark. The crispness of the bacon, the salty edge of the blue cheese and the tang of the mustard vinaigrette was A+. My husbands short rib was fine - but not an 'order again' selection for either of us. Crabcake snob here - it's my seaside roots I guess. Yes I know the crab is lump but still was on the smaller side for $39 entree price and wasn't a fan of the binder ingredient in it. Left the remnants on the plate. Side note - the fries were crispy and delicious! Overall good meal - I would order the salad and fries again but would get another entree and app. 5 stars for service / management 3-4 stars for food read more

We had a great meal starting with the gluten free bread for the table with olive tapenade, butter, and pesto along with with the shrimp appetizer. Both were great but the shrimp were the best - huge, tender, and very flavorful with the chili sauce. The cucumbers on the shrimp dish were very refreshing. We tired the salmon with green beans and romesco sauce. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was the most flavorful bite of the night. We also tried the beef short ribs with mashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts. All of with were delish. This restaurant is very allergen friendly and has lots of options. The service was great and our waiter was great. The place is nice - a little loud but probably because it was packed for the holiday season. Definitely a return trip will be happening. read more

I'm not gonna lie. I shop in the area multiple times a week (HomeGoods, Target, Sephora, Bath and Body Works etc. are all in the parking lot), and I stupidly made the assumption that Burtons was just another Applebee's or the like. I'm not embarrassed to say, I was so wrong. The hubby and I came in for a little impromptu lunch date before he left town. We started with the Crispy Calamari. Honestly, by the look of them I thought they looked like over-fried crispy bits with the slightest hint of calamari, but they aren't. The breading was amazing! Not too much, not falling apart, and paired with the cherry peppers that are also breaded and fried, they definitely make this appetizer top tier. I had the Blueberry Hibiscus to go with and it was so good. Not too sweet. The hubby had the California Chicken Sandwich and he loved it. I was so busy with my meal I forgot to try it. But he said it was juicy, flavorful and he ate every last bite. I had the Ahi Tuna Bowl and oh my gosh. It was sooo good. The fish was cut wonderfully and the mix of cucumber, onion, carrots and rice was excellent. The spicy ginger aioli was the star. It perfectly brought all the other elements together. The restaurant is more upscale than I thought it would be, but you don't feel like you need to dress up. Leather accents, high top tables and a lofty bar area make for a superb meal out. Come for the intimacy, the excitement, the game or the food and you are in for a treat! read more

The Mediterranean risotto is unreal. I always enjoy a visit to Burtons, the atmosphere is perfectly upscale yet relaxed! Staff is excellent.

Food was amazing and service, absolutely love this place! I recommend the chocolate cake!

Have been here many times but this was my first time for Burtons brunch menu and it was amazing. Got the chicken & waffles and the presentation was beautiful. The taste was just as good too. Only thing is hashbrowns came out room temp. Will be back to try more. read more

Visited on a Saturday around 7pm. There was a 30min wait for the inside dining area but we chose to sit on the heated patio which was comfortable although temps were 30-40 degrees. Service was great and our waiter was very patient, friendly and jovial! We had the two popular martinis blueberry hibiscus and pomegranate and they were good 5/5. I ordered the crab crusted haddock 2/5, it was very bland and had no seasoning at all. We also had the burger 4/5 which was solid. Overall I would come back and try other items. read more

I'm new to CLT and have only found a few places that I find serves excellent food. I can now add Burtons Grill & Bar. I stopped in for a mid afternoon late lunch and sat at the bar. I was immediately greeted by the bartender although he was fairly busy. He made an excellent margarita which I've found scarce in Charlotte, I did move from Austin so I have high standards. I ordered the California Chicken sandwich with fries. Both were delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy and fries hot and crispy. I tend to judge places on chicken sandwiches and they did not disappoint. I also like the feel of the place - tons of natural light, slightly industrial with the open ceiling, but still an upscale, casual vibe. Burtons has been added to my new favorite restaurants in Charlotte, located in Blakney Shopping Center. I can't wait to go back. read more

This place is great!! I come very often for their great gluten free options and safety. I truly wish those risotto fritters were going to permanently be on the menu, so yummy!! read more

This lobster roll was everything. Perfectly buttered bun, overflowing with fresh chunks of lobster that tasted like they came straight from the coast. read more

Burtons Grill & Bar - Lobster Roll (Warm) - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First time visiting this establishment and our waiter did not care to ask, walk us through the menu or list any specials. My order was completely wrong, I received a fish sandwich instead of the short rib grilled cheese and instead of being apologetic and owning the mistake he repeated he swore that's what I ordered. Then my sandwich came with a drizzle of the jus and they had to get more...why not just serve it together? My sister and I asked for to go containers and they were handed to us with no bag so took one off their station before leaving. Honestly poor service which I boiled down to inadequate training of the staff. Nice patio, plenty of indoor seating. Parking can be tough but a lot of folks park by the Harris Teeter. I may revisit for a happy hour or specials but otherwise go somewhere else. The food was not exciting at all. read more

If you haven't tried Burtons, you definitely should! I've been twice so far and can't wait to go back. Once for a girl's night, and once for a weeknight date. The food is so fresh and flavorful! The chicken cordon blue and general tso's cauliflower are some of my favorite staple menu items. Their spring/summer menu features Chicken Milanese and it is *divine* so you should definitely go try that! The steak frites was good, my steak was just a little chewy but that may have just been the cut of meat. The fries served alongside it were fantastic! Don't skip dessert, trust me on this one! The chocolate cake is stacked higher than the empire state and that red velvet cake YUM! We had reservations for a Thursday night but didn't need them. They also cater to food allergies with lots of gluten free items. read more

Second visit today! I was there before and my food was so amazing I wanted to take my husband for Father's Day! Well I ordered the same thing crab cakes with broccoli and asparagus! Broccoli well done but it could have cooked a little longer. As I'm eating and cutting my broccoli there is a long brown hair at the bottom of my plate! Not mine, I'm currently blonde with braids. The waitress showed the manager who came to the table and offered to bring me more food. My appetite was gone and I agreed to just take the food home. Guess what, no discount, no nothing, I paid my regular bill and left. I'm good on Burtons for a while! read more

This was our first time eating here. My husband and I both ordered the ribeye--mine medium, his medium-well. When the plates arrived, the thickness difference was glaring. His was thick but quite rare inside; mine was thinner. We switched, and he enjoyed the flavorful steak, while I picked at the edges of mine and took the rest home because it was way undercooked for my liking. The sides were perfect. The biggest downside: the noise. We were seated right beside the bar despite having reservations and plenty of open tables elsewhere. I don't eat gluten-free, but as the hostess was ready to seat us, she asked if we needed a gluten-free menu. I thought that was encouraging. Overall, mixed experience. read more

A lot better than I expected. Service was solid, food was good. Crab soup was good, and the burger...a nice surprise.

We had a wonderful experience last night for dinner celebrating our Mom's birthday. The service is stellar. Justin was excellent. We started with the General Tso's Cauliflower, Firecracker Shrimp, and Bread Service. They were excellent. The turnaround was excellent. I also sampled the She Crab Soup which was creamy, rich, and an excellent accompaniment to the other appetizers. I love, love, love the Crab-Crusted Haddock! I love white fish that is flaky and they are not stingy with the portion. The cheese cake is also delicious which they provided Mom. We will definitely be returning. Parking is free and ample. The ambience is casual/business casual. Everything we enjoyed was cooked from scratch and delicious. Taste the difference! read more

My 79 yo mother, my wife (a Celiac), and I all frequent Burton's bc they have, hands down, the BEST gluten-free options in the entire Charlotte area. Last night we encountered the best server too. Casey was a true delight. Her service was exceptional but her ability to interact with all of us so personally was such a divine experience. So many servers look past my mom, only because she is old. Casey didn't, she was inclusive and made a point of facing her and directly speaking to her. You have no idea what a difference something like that makes. Old people need to be revered and she made her feel revered. The service really sucks in this city, as an overall experience. Casey is a gem and I hope Burton's staff recognizes what a great asset she truly is. read more

We went for dinner on my birthday. We ordered, to share, the Thai Steak salad. It was delicious. They divided our order so we could share. And for our entree we ordered scallops, the special seafood for the day. It was served with mushroom risotto and asparagus. We definitely enjoyed everything about it. And then we had the chocolate cake. We have the rest of it for the next 3 days! The service and the ambiance were lovely. We will be back. Maybe for our anniversary. We ate at the Park Road location in Charlotte. read more

This was our first (& last) time to Burton's Pros: * waiter was friendly * the risotto was delicious......as was the cucumber salad that accompanied the firecracker shrimp * beautiful food presentation Cons: * I had the scallop special. The scallops had an ammonia taste to them. I could only eat half of them because the taste was so off. The sides were delicious- the scallops not so much. * the mango margarita did not taste like mango at all.....I even confirmed with the waiter it was in fact the correct drink. The margarita was watered down & bitter- ranks as one of the worst margaritas I've ever had. * very $$$$ In hindsight I should have send back both my drink and dinner. Definitely not worth the cost. I can see why the were not busy at all on a Saturday nig We will not be returning. read more

Two things I look for when trying a new restaurant. What does the water tastes like and can they make good fries...Burtons did both impeccably. Go for the food and stay for the service. Sit outside on the patio on a balmy evening and enjoy great food with good company or even solo. Definitely returning for the fries. read more

Loved the food and service! Came for a girls night/planning party and left a fan. The drinks were yummy, I opted for a drink I was dying to try, a French 75. It was refreshing and bursting with lemon (in a good way). For my entree I was torn between the short ribs and the bolognese. So I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she strong suggested the bolognese and it did not disappoint! It was close to perfect (I was missing some basil or Italian sausage fennel vibe but it was still good). Appetizers were good too but the bread with butter and olive tapenade was the best. read more
