This location had a large table for a group as well as some smaller tables for a few people. There were also some tables outside. The interior was decorated cutely. In terms of service, the workers were friendly but my drink took a little longer than I expected to come out... like it was ready after a bunch of other people got their orders (who were behind me in line), so that was interesting. I got the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte! This was on their seasonal menu so I definitely wanted to try it. It either came in matcha or espresso form, but the worker recommended matcha to me. Upon the first sip, I definitely tasted the matcha. It was a bit earthy tasting, but not the earthiest I have had. After I mixed the drink together (little pushing the vanilla wafers down to breakdown into little pieces), the banana pudding taste really came through. I am not a fan of matcha, but I enjoyed the drink... probably because the banana pudding flavor overpowered the matcha flavor after mixing everything thoroughly. If you like matcha, then this is your go-to spot in Charlotte! There is probably something most people would like here as they also have non-matcha options as well.

Everything about our…read moreexperience was fantastic--the service we received was stellar, the restaurant was clean and well equipped, but the food was what will bring us back. My husband and I both ordered the Old School Plate. The potatoes were well seasoned and perfectly crispy. The chicken sausage I had was delicious and expertly prepared--juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside. But OMG the pancakes!! They offer a self-serve bar of delicious flavored butters and jams. I had never tried sweet potato butter, but the combination of it and syrup set off the big, fluffy cakes perfectly. I'm so full and happy that we tried this place out!!

Yep, they did it: impressed me so much that I am giving it one of my few-and-far-in between,…read moreprecious, five star ratings. They are THAT good. Biscuits and gravy are a southern staple and rarely have I had any that were really good, except here at Vicious Biscuit. Biscuits are their business. The most important elements are the biscuits and the gravy. Additions are many and varied, but if the basic two items are not both excellent, you will have a disappointing experience. The Vicious biscuit is the size of a hamburger bun. It is soft and there are bits of spice in the dough. These biscuits do not fall apart, but stay together and serve to soak up the wonderful sausage gravy that is poured on top of it. You can order just a biscuit with gravy for $8. And if you are timid, start here. Otherwise, there are add-ons like very good fried chicken, shrimp and grits, ham, pulled smoked pork, crab, bacon, fried shrimp. fried eggs and other combos. Super choices, so take time to study the menu which is extensive. Portions are great, very generous. I had their Vicious ($12). It was their Cheddar jalapeño biscuit, crispy fried chicken, maple sausage gravy, cowboy candy, with maple syrup drizzle. I was hesitant as to the maple syrup, but it is just enough to give accent to the gravy, but not super sweet. Wife had Fried Green 'Maters ($9.50) which were four fried green tomatoes, their signature pimento cheese with a pickled okra garnish. She could not eat it all, so I helped finish off the lone tomato and a bit of the cheese. Very good. Vicious Biscuit is more that a meal, it is an experience, even a journey, through this traditional southern staple, biscuits and gravy. Enjoy the trip. We might see you there.

It's clear this franchise does not care about their customers, or food safety, but only about the money that they're making. I am extremely disappointed and don't know how this store hasn't been shut down yet. Furthermore, I realized how after responding to every bad rating they end it with,"after your experience with customer service, consider changing your review." which is absolute garbage and shows how much they really care.

Seemed as if they've cranked up the Matcha color in the drink as well. I always get it at 70% sweet level, and it's perfect! I would have loved to get the larger size, but these drinks are SO caloric. :( One thing I didn't love was their new "busy" menu. They had this ridiculously loud advertising (about "Dragon Pop") on top of the menu, making the rest of the menu hard to read (smaller print...as well as more confusing). It took me awhile to figure out what to order. No matter, still love this BT place.

Same awkwardness in the sauce...the full Japanese flavor just wasn't there...just alot of heat. Think I preferred the Korean Beef Noodles...much tastier, although I remember thinking it didn't tase authentically Korean at all. In retrospect, I thought the dish was more expensive than it should have been. Not much meat in the dish, mostly noodles and veggies. Not sure if I'm itching to return anytime soon...but if I'm craving noodles, it's an easy option.
