Only two potential items stood out to me, the huevos ranchero & the crab cakes Benedict. I chose the crab cakes. My wife ordered avocado toast. When the crab cakes arrived and I tasted them, I knew why I hadn't come back. They had absolutely no seasoning. I left them on the plate. My wife's avocado toast suffered from the same lack of seasoning. What a disappointment. The service was pretty quick. There really wasn't much ambience to speak of.

My husband and I first visited Easy Like Sunday about two years ago and immediately fell in love…read morewith this little restaurant. It's small, intimate, stylish and inviting. It's the kind of place that feels notably special, distinguished and high end without ever feeling stuffy. Everyone is warm and professional, and the food is absolutely worth every penny. During our first visit, I took a chance and ordered the grits. I normally avoid restaurant grits because they're almost always bland, flavorless and gelatinous. But the grits at Easy Like Sunday were completely different in the best way. Creamy with the slightest grainy texture and so perfectly seasoned that you don't need to add butter, salt, pepper or anything else. I had been daydreaming about those grits for two years. We finally made it back this past Friday and arrived when the doors opened at 9:00am. We were seated immediately. I ordered the Little Bit of Everything with eggs, bacon, those unforgettable grits and a thick, fluffy, delicious buttermilk pancake. That first spoonful of grits tasted exactly the way I remembered, maybe even better. My eyes actually welled up with tears. I know that sounds extreme but I'm not exaggerating. After waiting two years to taste them again, they felt familiar and comforting, like coming home. Our waitress, Diana, made the morning even more special. She was warm, welcoming and accommodating. When I told her I could nearly cry over those grits, she didn't make me feel silly or dramatic. She agreed saying,"Oh, I know! We have the best grits!" She said she completely understood why that first bite made me feel emotional. Being served by Diana felt like being taken care of by an old friend. We had never met her before, yet she treated us as though she had known us for years. Easy Like Sunday is a hidden little treasure tucked away across the street from Park Road Shopping Center. It's the kind of place you take someone special for a first date, an anniversary, a milestone, a birthday or simply a morning you want to remember. The atmosphere is cozy and polished, the food is wonderful, and Diana is an absolute gem. We cannot wait to return!

Our server was great, but unfortunately, the food was below average and didn't quite live up to the…read moreexpectations. Ube has such a naturally rich, nutty, and creamy flavor that I expected the pancake to have plenty of that character. Instead, it was dry, lacked moisture and flavor, and honestly tasted more like a regular pancake with ube coloring than an actual ube pancake. We also ordered the French toast and a cup of coffee, and the total came out to around $47. I'm glad we gave it a try, but overall, the meal was pretty underwhelming. The service was the highlight, but the food was just so-so.

What really made the experience though was our server Caitlin. She was so friendly and personable from the moment we sat down -- the kind of server that genuinely makes you feel welcome and not just like another table. You can tell she actually enjoys what she does, and that energy is contagious. Overall a really solid brunch spot. If you go, hope you get lucky enough to have Caitlin as your server -- she's the real deal. Will definitely be back!

I won't say that I'm the biggest fan of this place. We received really great service, and I…read moredefinitely want to give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, the food just did not meet our expectations--especially considering the price. The crab and shrimp omelette was definitely not a hit for me. I was expecting more, but unfortunately, it fell short. Overall, the service was excellent, but the food and value just weren't there for us. I always appreciate good service, but when you're paying the prices they charge, you expect the food to match. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.

This is the cutest little gem tucked away at the end of a strip mall. The second you walk in, you're greeted by a fun poppy mural and a display of all the delicious pastries of the day. Immediately I'm like, okay, I'm going to like it here! We had about a 20-minute wait, but thankfully there was plenty of time for mimosas and catch up chitchat! And honestly, the time flew by... we weren't even finished with them before we were seated. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was on point from there. Someone filled our water glasses almost immediately after we sat down, and we never had a dry cup. Mimosa refills were quick, too! I also grabbed a chai latte that came in the cutest old-school homemade-looking cup and was perfectly warm and spiced. Soooo good! For food, two of us ordered the Fresh Pick Sandwich with fresh tomatoes, stracciatella, kale pesto aioli, arugula, fresh basil and balsamic glaze on perfectly toasted sourdough. I added avocado and bacon and basically turned it into the most deliciously elevated BLT of my life. I also made a pro side swap for my side and went with the cheesy grits. They were delicious. No notes! My friend got the Fresh Pick without tomatoes and added prosciutto, and another friend ordered The Grit with shrimp, and that plate was BEAUTIFUL. Sweet pepper and tomato sauce, mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula and an egg over a plate of grits. Between us, there were clean plates, full bellies and a whole lot of "what are we trying next time?" conversations happening. The food came out quickly, the service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and it was just an all-around excellent brunch. My only complaints? 1-Why do they have the cutest pastry merch for kids but not adults... I need that "I'm flaky" croissant shirt lol! And 2-Why is this little gem not closer to me?! But clearly that just means I need to make the drive again. Poppyseed Kitchen has officially been added to the "worth the trip" list!

Wife and I went for lunch. Excellent menu, good service, clean tables and floors and the dishes we…read moreordered were excellent. A rather stark, high-ceiling open floor plan with superb air conditioning. Bring a wrap as it does get chilly. Plates, bowls, sandwiches and salads, along with a kid's menu and miscellaneous snacky items. Prices range from $13 to $18. Decent portions. I had the The Bisquit and Gravy ($12) after asking for a sample taste of their gravy. I have had horrible biscuit and gravy dishes in many places where the gravy was just cooked flowered grease. Not at Poppyseed! It was excellent, flavorful and if you ask for more, you will get it. I did. Wife agreed on the gravy. Wife had the Poppyseed Salad ($12) which was so loaded with cucumbers that annoyed her. Very little lettuce, but lots of other hard veggies. She was not happy. My second choice that lunch day was listed as The Ranch Hash ($18). A fellow diner across from us ordered this hash and said he loved it. It did look good with braised brisket, potato hash and two eggs to order. A very fine portion and will be my order when we return. Parking galore. You will need to turn right when you exit on to Tom Hall Street, unless you get a lucky traffic gap. We will be back, for sure.

I've been to this place many times and somehow have missed writing a review…read more I meet up with a group of EAL Retirees on a monthly basis and this is the chosen location as it seems it's a easy access for most and has a menu with good selection and affordable. They reserve a room for us and we have maybe 20 or so who join. We seem to have the same hostess, Kristin, who takes good care of us and always with a smile and kind word. Today, I had the broiled founder with the jumbo shrimp all over a bed of white rice and comes with two sides so I got the lima beans and a side salad. All so fresh and good, there is not a lot of seasoning but it's the healthy choice and it hit the spot for what I was wanting.

They have good food and great service so I can only attribute this to the owner making the workers serve food with no Air conditioning for several days and then as fate would have it being inspected by the Health Department. We were there one of those hot as hell nights and ate dinner without the A/C working. It was really hot. To their credit they would not open the doors because they did not want to invite flys in . We all suffered through it but clearly the workers really had it tough. Kudos to the workers. They are amazing people. I would have walked out after 2 hours . It was awful . Long story short- Health scores are back to where they should be and AC is working . All good .

The restaurant was busy, but there was no wait, and we were seated immediately. Our server, Sada, was attentive and took our order within five minutes. The food arrived within ten minutes and was really good. I say "really good" instead of "great" because I've visited the original locations in New Orleans (Ruby Slipper), and you just can't beat food in NOLA. We ordered the same dishes we had there to make a fair comparison. I had the catfish and grits with a side of one cinnamon swirl pancake (a perfect combination) and iced coffee. My wife had the avocado toast--she said it tasted the same and loved that they cut the toast into four pieces here. My food tasted almost identical. I think the gravy here didn't have tasso and was a bit less seasoned (which isn't a bad thing, since dishes in New Orleans can sometimes be overseasoned). The pancake made me smile, and the iced coffee was good too. I'm happy to know I can get this meal anytime I'm in Charlotte. Ruby Sunshine is definitely at the top of my list for breakfast/brunch.

It was more like I was an inconvenience for coming in. So, I quietly turned around and left. When my friends and coworkers ask about this place, I tell them not to bother.

My husband and I both ordered the Old School Plate. The potatoes were well seasoned and perfectly crispy.

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!!

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.

A lovely discrete treasure, a blessing to the South Charlotte food scene…read more This easy to find yet tucked away café was the best breakfast I've had in many years. The meal started off with an iced rosemary lavender latte crafted with their in house syrup made with cane sugar and fresh herbs. Rosemary and coffee has been a revelation to my palate and I'll be back for this alone. Which I will happily enjoy in this comfortable and cute dining area. Breakfast was made to order from fresh ingredients, piping hot and intentionally seasoned. As their bright and cheerful owner puts it, the main ingredient is love. And trust me, you can taste it. This is the first time in my two decades of eating tofu that I can actually shoutout how delicious it is. And the aromas coming of this photogenic waffle were mouthwatering. While Charlotte has become over run with corporate and copy cat restaurants, it is truly a thing of comfort to enjoy a delicious meal made by good people that care not only about what's on the plate, but who is eating from it. 6 stars
