I WILL BE PIATING THIS ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU AND

Hibachi Shrimp
Daijai W.

Hey Yelp friends! Today's review is on Cottage Express. I was searching for a good place where I could get hibachi and sushi in CLT for dinner recently. My order was placed through Door Dash. But let's get into the food! I ordered hibachi shrimp meal, Yum yum roll, and a spicy crabmeat roll. My major issue was only with the sushi. My shrimp hibachi plate was really good. It came with shrimp, zucchini, broccoli and mushrooms also w/ fried rice. I'm very picky when it comes to my hibachi because I've had bad ones in the past. But Cottage Express did not not disappoint. HOWEVER. The sushi, the rice was just extremely too mushy and the crab included in both rolls did not taste the freshest. So the reason for the three stars, is mainly in my disappointment towards the sushi. On Door Dash they have a 4.7 rating but on every other platform they have lower ratings. Going back for the hibachi may be an option but for the sushi, I'm don't think so.

Not good. All the food is quite oily and tastes fake. The place is very dark and not very sanitary. We had a stomach ache after eating here.

Jasmine served us promptly and efficiently, yet never made us feel rushed. Her timing was impeccable -- drinks arrived quickly, food was delivered seamlessly, and she checked in with us at just the right moments. She has outstanding menu knowledge and confidently guided us through recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious! What truly made the experience stand out was her personality. When she asked what we were celebrating and we told her it was a girls' weekend, she lit up and made it feel special. She was friendly, personal, and engaging without ever losing her professionalism. It felt like we were being taken care of by someone who genuinely enjoys what she does. Jasmine is fast, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. She represents what exceptional service should look like and honestly should be the face of service at Fume. We left so happy -- the food was amazing, but Jasmine's service is what made the experience unforgettable. Five stars all around!

So while my never-ending battle to get my beers counted in real-time still remains the bane of my ubiquitous existence here, at least the staff make it a little less maddening. To be fair sometimes it is tech issues where the app (which I have a neverending love/hate relationship with) will decide to do some new, weird, baffling yet enraging thing that mucks up my beer count, but I can always count on my Ladies in Charge Izz & Kels to work their magic. I also gotta give shoutouts to my girls Maddie & Stella & Katie for always taking care of me and finding ways to turn my frowns upside down! I have enjoyed the different styles and breweries they have recently been bringing into the mix (I thought I had died and gone to beer heaven when I saw they had 6 yes SIX 3 Floyds beers on tap & in cans!), but have noticed they haven't been adding as many local NC beers like they used to, which makes it hard for a regular, such as myself, on her 17th plate to come in for $5 NC Drafts on Sundays. I appreciate the new daily specials on Fridays/Saturdays and showing more appreciation for BeerKnurds that have been added (notably 1/2 lunch for BKs on Tues from 11am-3pm), but REALLY REALLY wish they would do more stuff (as in ANYTHING) for MOUs (BKs w/5+ plates). All that being said, you really can't beat their $5 off any draft on the wall or hard liquors + wine Mondays or their create your own pizzas (might I suggest my personal creation & fav the "Tickle My Pickle?); the food menu is just solid as their kitchen staff are some of the best (and nicest) in the biz! So, if you're looking for a spot where the staff make the experience just as much as the beer & food and that is the literal embodiment of Cheers once you've established yourself as a regular, then look no further! Come for the great beer shirts/hats + collectible glassware and stay for the beer/booze, food, and people...until next year!

We started with the large Bavarian pretzel, served warm with queso and spicy mustard--perfect for sharing. The Boar's Head pastrami sandwich was outstanding, piled high with jalapeño-kraut, melted Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on toasted marble rye. The Hot Mama pizza was a standout: classic cheese pizza topped with Italian sausage, honey, and fresh basil (I skipped the red pepper flakes--just a personal preference). A great spot for good food, good drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Check out the plates on walls and ceilings for people that drank a certain amount of different beers. We have a friend that is so close to adding to this restaurants collection! Enjoy!

We pulled into the parking lot and Jonathan came to the car and took our order on his iPad! Now, mind you, I'm not a big meat eater or a fan of TRH, but this was the first time that I really enjoyed my food! We both ordered the Fort Worth ribeye steak dinners. I had the 12oz with fries and mushrooms, and my gf had the 14oz with a salad and baked potato! Both orders ca.e with their rolls and the honey butter! We sat there and waited for our order to be prepared! About 10 to 20 minutes later, our order was delivered to our car! The runner asked us to check the order to make sure it was correct! It looked and smelled amazing! OMG, it was the best boneless ribeye steak I've ever had! We both agreed that we have been missing out by ordering the bone-in! From now on, we are boneless all day!

Her chicken was delivered dry as a bone with no juicy meat. She should have sent it back but didn't. My side of ribs was delayed because the kitchen put bbq sauce on them and I requested a dry rub. 15 minutes later, the I was served the driest ribs I've ever tried to eat. I tried one bone and couldn't get the fork into the meat. It was over cooked and dry as leather. What is sad: The server noticed it was dry but served it anyway. Poor choice of restaurant to celebrate 50 years of marriage. Tip: If you are celebrating anything, try another steakhouse. There are plenty of others in Concord that will cook the food properly.

The customer service was actually pretty good, too; however, unfortunately, due to the crowd, I would not go back. As a woman in my late thirties, I simply cannot take the club culture. I wasn't informed that it was giving TRAP nightclub vibes before I went. My friend described it as a sports bar. I stayed to enjoy quality time with her, but no... You can't bring or chew chewing gum in there - that tells you a lot. Also, upon entering, there were a group of girls discussing keying someone's car bc they saw an ex's car in the parking lot. I felt like I had to be on guard walking through bc most people were mean-mugging. There wasn't much joy in there. Additionally, I saw at least two men rolling blunts. The venue is beautiful, but the crowd is a major deterrent.
