Chicken Wings, BBQ.
Brian E.

I've stayed at the hotel a couple times since it is right by our U.S. office. The food is always good to very good. I've tried the Edgewater Burger which is good, I've had it twice. Both times it was cooked as requested. The bun is nice and butternut and crispy. I tried the pizza, it's decent pizza, nothing amazing, but I doubt you'd get it and think it was bad. The crust was good, very crisp and the pizza is light with a little crisp to the dough, definitely not soggy. I had the French onion soup.... Unimpressed. I may be a French onion snob as I've been lucky to travel around the country and tried numerous soups (including in France). This was very average, I like the bread to be a little crispy, this was soggy, and the cheese, once I pushed into the soup. It all kind of gelled together. Like you can't get bites with other parts of the soup. I was literally using my knife to try and cut it apart so I could eat it in pieces and not one huge chunk. But it became too tedious and eventually I had to eat the cheese all together. I really liked the chicken wings, cooked well, I really enjoyed the bbq sauce. The wings are by far my favorite. As I have to come here multiple times a year to visit our office. I'm sure I'll try more food. For a hotel restaurant, it's pretty good.

I have not been here since before COVID today was a great. Example Of why I returned the food was amazing. The service was awesome.

Great ambience. Waiters were very friendly and helpful. The wings and seafood hush puppies were awesome too.

Main Dining Area

Formerly known as Lakefront, this is the main restaurant in the Hilton at University Place. We had a coupon for Lakefront we wanted to use so we drove over after Church today for brunch. Very spacious and well appointed. It reminds me a lot of the Hyatt in Marietta Ga with it's glass wall and view of the Japanese Garden. Does not have a Japanese Garden but does have a beautiful view of a Lake and artificial waterfalls. My wife ordered a Steak Salad. Actually there are serveral salads available and you can get steak or chicken or other items added. She also ordered a side of seasonal fruits which for a change, was something more that just mellon. I had a shrimp Po Boy that except for being a bit overcooked was excellent. My side was a simple salad which was anything except simple with a pretora of mixed greens, tomotoes, pickles etc. It was so hugh I could not eat all of it. Service was outstanding from start to finish and I have to give high marks to the entire staff. Outstanding Lunch and by the way, they did honor the coupon we had even though it's no longer Lakefront. We definately be back and may try and get there early enough for the breakfast buffet.

Crab cake

We were about the only people in the restaurant, a group of a dozen, there for my cousin's birthday. The service was so slow and I don't think the server was very competent or must have been new. The manager had to help her. The food was delicious, and everyone else agrees! However, it took a while for the food to come out, and then everyone got their food at different times within a 15-20 minute period. My aunt did not receive her soup at all. The tea tasted like a powder mix. My aunt ordered two bottles of champagne and they brought about 5 mini bottles out which we thought was weird. It took 30 minutes for our server to sort checks even though they wrote down our order based on who was on separate checks. I might dine here again, but highly doubt it.

Excellent meat and cheese board. It is a fine assortment of artisanal Cheese and meats.

Bruschetta to go
Michelle L.

I LOVE the breakfast buffet here! They have biscuits and gravy, turkey sausage, bacon, fluffy eggs, potatoes, hash browns, hot cakes (or french toast or waffles), fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, cereal, AND an omelet station! Pick your ingredients and the cook will make you a delicious omelet, and they can even cook with egg whites if you prefer. LOVE that they have smoked salmon as well! I ordered a breakfast sandwich off the menu once too; I got the croissant sandwich which came with eggs, pesto, bacon, tomato, and spinach. It comes wide a side of hash browns and fresh fruit. The restaurant itself sits right on the lake, and has a fairly large dining area. The bar is a separate room but also considered part of the restaurant. For dinner one evening, my coworkers and I ordered the hush puppies, nachos, and bruschetta. All dishes were alright but nothing special. Breakfast alone is 5 stars, the rest is about average. Definitely would recommend this place for breakfast!

Shrimp & Grits (small size for $13)
Norm J.

Since this restaurant was in the hotel I was staying at while in Charlotte; I opted on dining here two of the three nights of my stay. I have to stay that the service here was top notch. The bartenders were personable, chatty (but not in an annoying way) and gave me good menu recommendations. Each time I dined here I had the seafood hushpuppies which were delicious (5 stars). The shrimp & grits were a stomach pleaser and the half portion was huge for only $13 (4 stars). The short rib and mac & cheese was a miss because while the mac &a cheese was 4 stars the short rib was 1 star which brought this entree overall down to (2.5 stars). If you are staying at this hotel I do recommend dining here, but skip the short rib dish!

Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert
Alyssa C.

I really loved the Lakefront Restaurant. I used a Verizon rewards coupon for buy one get one free dinner entrees. I ordered the turkey sandwich and was more than satisfied by their guacamole and thick slices of turkey on the sandwich. The fries were also very fresh tasting. My boyfriend ordered the hangover burger that came with bacon, onions, cheese, and egg and enjoyed it as well. We both brought home to-go boxes with about half of our meal. We sat right by the window and had a great view of the boardwalk and lake. Lastly, the chocolate cake (order with ice cream!) for dessert was simply delicious- moist and sweet. My only complaint is the gap in serving times; this was our second attempt at dining here because the first time I did not realize that lunch was served until 2 or 3 and dinner didn't start until 5 and we came around 4. I cannot wait to go back and try the breakfast buffet!

A nice little bar located inside the Hilton Hotel. Just slide on in from the Boardwalk and grab a cocktail. Bartender was very nice and friendly. Plenty of seating and TV's.

Look up this date and read my review.

Food was mediocre. Service was good. However, I was disturbed by the way my French fries were served. It came in a paper wrapping in a metal coil. Sounds innocuous. The wrapper is a facsimile of a newspaper dated May 17, 1861. I will post a photograph of it. This is a quote from thecivilwarproject.com regarding that date: "Confederate President Jefferson Davis signs a bill to bring North Carolina into the Confederacy if its citizens vote to secede and support the Confederate Constitution." Is this a coincidence? Either way I was not amused. Make of it what you will.

It's seat-yourself, so we had to pull a couple tables together to fit everyone. One thing to note: it was very warm inside, so I'd recommend sitting toward the back where it's more comfortable. My boys really enjoy this place, so I wanted to like it more, but the food was just okay and a bit pricey for what you get. Most items run about $14.99-$21.99, even appetizers are at entrée prices. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries appetizer ($15.99) after hearing they were "fire." The steak had good flavor, but the portion was light--fine for sharing, but not very filling. One entree, Big Dipper ($15.49), a roast beef seemed overcooked and there wasn't much meat on a large bun. Two people from the table ordered pizza. Neither ate more than 2 pieces. On the positive side, the beer selection is excellent, with plenty of options on tap and in bottles and cans--from Guinness to local IPAs. The atmosphere is also unique: plates cover the walls and ceiling from guests who've completed their beer challenge, which makes for a fun, quirky vibe you really have to see in person. Dart boards for those who want to be a bit more active. Overall, it's a great spot for beer and atmosphere, but the food and pricing didn't quite match the experience for me.

Mean while we saw our waitress walk by us multiple times in fact she even took the table next to us drink order, brought them their drinks, the came back and took their order - all before acknowledging we were even sitting there. We had waited long enough that I had just started to ask to speak with someone if they could find out whose table it was.

I ordered their bowl, and other person did the same, I also ordered a Bloody Mary, and my counterpart got grits and side of bacon. Our waitress acted more like we were an inconvenience to her other plans for the day or maybe she feels this Job is beneath her. She brought out my water and the other persons tea. And that my friends was the last we saw of our waitress. I don't mean that we didn't see her skirting around us or anything. Just that she stopped coming to the table. Which I don't know why. We weren't rude or even in a bad mood. We didn't get any refills. Didn't ask for anything else. And we finally waved down the waitress when we needed our checks to leave.

There was a ton of parking as the restaurant is located in a big shopping center. I would definitely go here again, but if there is a concert nearby that night, I would recommend getting there early.
