    the dining area
    Stacey A.

    Many years ago I frequented the Hawthorne's on 7th Street that was close to my job (during lunch). Food was delicious. As locations have been added I like to pop in if I'm in the area. Food is always consistently good. Brought my Mom to this one after a doctor's appointment. Service was great. Pizza is always great but I also tried the shrimp. I thought it would be spicier which I like but it wasn't. That means I have to order again so my husband can try the shrimp. He does not do spicy. I also tried the bread. A little too soft for my liking but good. Pizza and salad is really my thing here. Wait! The restrooms. Very important to note. Clean restrooms! Booths are nice and roomy. Great family restaurant.

    Inside right smack dab between lunch and dinner

    So far so good, got a table outside to enjoy a brisk October afternoon in the dappled sunlight. It's pizza week and there's a special and I'm peckish so it seems a good match. Garlic knots to start... six on a plate all oiled and knotty and garlicky with a wee pot of red sauce on the side. Nice breads; soft centers and firm crust with a good chew, oiled up well with real bits of real garlic. The red was quite satisfactory in its tomatoey goodness. Personable pizza was very New Yorkie in a good way. The Crew showed up in its oniony banaña pepper glory plus meatballs and sausage on a 9" platter just asking for a splash of garlic oil, who am I to deny such a simple request?! A dash of crushed pepper and a few shakes of cheese and I'm doing alright. The rosé cider on recommendation was a good fit. not to sweet, not too tart... just be aware of the flute fries outside. FYI: peppers is sweet, not hot. It's NYC so no real surprise on this one.

    I'm very confused on how this bar has more then 3 stars... this pizza/most of my 60$ order was so disappointing. The cheese on my pizza is spicy. Taste something like pepper Jack cheese with American cheese????! The pineapple on my pizza was rotten, I literally have a stomach ache rn and only ate one slice. Explains why it was empty. Don't waste your money here. On top of it all the manager was a total bitch. Sorry not sorry.

    Chicken parmigiana changed out the sauce to Cajun sauce

    We started coming back here again and it is better than before. The baked ziti is fantastic and the chicken parm is wonderful as well. Yummmm!

    I've lived in Charlotte for almost two years and never tried Hawthorne's. I figured it was about time I tried it out! They weren't very busy Wednesday night but there were several loud children . I guess it's fair to expect kids at a pizza joint but I was surprised that their kid night was a different night based on the amount of screaming children in the restaurant. I can't hold that against them though but be aware of it before you decide to eat here. My waitress initially seemed annoyed that I was even there but eventually warmed up to me and even smiled once or twice ! She actually ended up being a great waitress but not very personable. I read reviews that raved about the pizza called "the inducer." It's basically a buffalo chicken pizza. I really wasn't impressed with it and I was surprised it actually wasn't very spicy. It's called the inducer because it can "induce" labor. I also ordered the pizza rolls as an appetizer but they were served after I received my pizza. There was nothing that great about this experience and nothing that bad. It was just a meh experience so I don't know if I will return.

The workers are very friendly and very attentive to what we needed. If I needed something, I did not have to wait for a long period of time for them to bring it to the table which I greatly appreciated. I ordered two fish tacos, which came with a side of black beans as well as the crab hush puppies. All of the food was very good and fresh! The fish tacos were very, very big and I liked the coleslaw and sauce that was on the top. It added a nice texture to the tacos. The fish was very crispy and it was well balanced throughout the taco. I only finished one of the tacos while I was there because they were that big! The black beans tasted like they had some type of neckbones or something smoky in it, but there was no meat in them at all. Delicioso!! My only gripe is that the side of black beans was very small. Nonetheless, it is something that I would go back for. The crab hush puppies were very good. The hush puppies were not dry, but they were moist and the crab melted in very nicely with the hush puppy mixture. I ordered eight and I promise you that I could eat a whole 12 or 16 of them by myself lol My guest ordered a patio margarita which was about seven dollars and said it was good and boozy. The drinks are standard pricing ranging from about $6-18. Overall, I'm very pleased that I finally tried this place.

After telling the manager I didnt want it fixed nor want a replacement - they still charged me for it! Wouldn't take it off the bill! I took one sip! Horrendous.

I entered on a Tuesday afternoon and it was relatively empty. Staff just looked at me like: "Who the hell is this guy?" I left. 3. Last night, which was a Wednesday. It was very odd because the light crowd made it feel like a VFW yet there was a bouncer at the door. Huh? Any place that has a bouncer is probably bad news if you just want to chill. I chose to roll with it anyway and when I asked the bartender if they had a drink menu, she placed a small sign in front of me with a QR Code for the menu. This shouldn't be a big deal but this is why I left. I don't go somewhere to have to use my phone. If I want a beer (or wine), I'm there to relax, not work. I was also in a dark corner of the bar, where it's like being trapped in a corner. Btw, there was a drunk guy singing in the bathroom. When at Kickback Jacks all the way in Mooresville, two people mentioned this place to me and how great it was. So, I think this is a "It's me, not you" situation. The place should make sense in theory--it should be enjoyable when you look at it. In reality, it's a no for me. I'll stick to my favorite haunts (and find a new place to add so I have 3.5). All that said, I still might pop in one more time during the day to confirm I don't like it. This review is subjective. Objectively, you might love it. For me, I have tried three times and have never felt an ounce of warmth from the atmosphere or anyone. You gotta feel good walking into a place. If you don't, then no matter how good it looks, it's not your place.

It was a Friday night two weeks before Christmas, but it was only 5:45pm so I feel like we got lucky. We were able to walk in and be seated right away. We ordered cocktails and embraced the tapas menu, ordering too many things to sample and share. We sadly had to leave some of it behind. Our waitress was a sweetheart and though the restaurant space was big and open, the warm wood and exposed brick inside made it feel welcoming and cozy. There was enough room between tables that we didn't feel crammed in and the table was big enough to hold all the delicious goodness. I felt like two top tables can sometimes barely hold your water glass and bread plate. We head to Charlotte pretty regularly for various things, and I would like to bring our teenage boys back sometime. I think they would really like the menu and style of the restaurant. Nice enough for a quick date night before and event, but casual enough that I feel like we could bring the teens and not have to "dress up".

I do think the interior sometimes feels a bit too "open-concept," if you know what I mean... ...but who cares?! The food is great! Of the stuff that stays on the menu, I really like: the chicken sandwich, the tandoori carrots, the mussels, and the pierogis. As for the current menu: I really like the watermelon caprese salad, scallops, and curry chicken tacos.
