Choose A Burger - Angus Chuck Beef burger Sweet Potato Fries
Jana J.

I always love to come to Karondas on my vacations to North Carolina. I love the 6 piece chicken tender appetizer tossed in the asian chili sauce. The frog chips are great

Cheesesteak sandwich with "frog chips" & Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries.

Great food, great prices & great service! Cheesesteak sandwich was unique, on Texas toast. Took the chance to get the frog chips and they did not disappoint, thicker than a normal chip but still crispy! They were delicious. We had beer as well and were excited that they had a good selection including several Red Oak beers.

Stopped in for lunch with my mother in law on the way to her doctor's appointment. She had been to Karondas many times but I had not and wanted to try it and I love me some good bar food. The place was nearly empty at lunch time on a Thursday, not a good sign. They had CBS on one of the TVs so my MIL got to watch Y&R while we ate, she was happy, lol. One server was working and she was very friendly and efficient. My MIL got the ribeye sandwich and loved it. She gave me a bite of the steak and it was very well seasoned and super tender. Her side was the friend green beans, loved these too. I ordered the club with awesome onion straws. The sandwich itself was okay. The turkey and ham were sliced much too thick which ruins a club for me. The rest of the toppings were tasty but a bit sparse, I removed the middle piece of bread to make it heartier. We told our server we had to leave by 1:30 to make an appointment in town and she was great with our time constraints so kudos to her. I might return if I'm out that way but wouldn't make a special trip.

A little pricy, but the ribs are amazing. I also love the variety of sides. The serving sizes are more than enough.

It took 2 hours to get food. The family next to me came in after us, got their food and paid before I even touched mine.

IYKYK..just in case you don't..this was my second visit Had the pleasure of enjoying this visit…read morealso. Definitely need to visit more often. The vibe is very chilled. Great tv action! The bartender was very skilled..enjoyed an Expresso martini as well as a smoked old fashioned ( not one of my typical drink selection), but I did enjoy it! Also enjoyed a side salad and wings. The food was delicious as with my first visit. Definitely recommend you go, especially for sports or if want to enjoy a chilled environment!!

This is one I'm especially upset about. We've been here numerous times in the past and had a great…read moreexperience with quality food. On this weekday during happy hour, we had a bad experience unfortunately. Our server was amazing though! Giving her props for her friendly demeanor and great service. Drinks were also cold and refreshing. Where it turned sour: our Chef's Special appetizer plate. The mozzarella sticks were hollow. Not just thin, but completely hollow with no cheese, just an outer shell. The "beef" empanadas had no beef inside. Again, mainly hollow with only a little cheese inside. Overcooked and almost impossible to chew. They were also out of some pickled items that were supposed to be on the plate, and they substituted some old strawberries, which definitely did not complement anything on this plate. We were here for a full meal, but we stopped here and did not order our main courses. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY*** Some employees were engaging in activities inside the establishment, which are not conducive to a restaurant in any capacity. A call will be made to management and/or the owner(s). We're highly hopeful this is a one-off experience and these issues will be rectified going forward. We love this place. We've had amazing food and evenings out with friends and family here. We want to be back, and I would love to update this review in the near future.

I really wanted to like Uptown Charlie's, but the food just did not deliver…read more I ordered the Carolina burger, and it was just okay. The patty itself was decent, but the chili and coleslaw were clearly premade, straight out of a bag, and added nothing memorable to the burger. The mac and cheese was honestly terrible. The waitress confirmed it also comes from a bag, and unfortunately it tasted exactly like you would expect. The chicken nachos were disappointing as well. The shredded chicken was completely unseasoned, and the lettuce did not look fresh. It felt thrown together rather than prepared with any care. The buffalo flatbread pizza was probably the biggest letdown. The crust was not crispy, the same bland shredded chicken from the nachos was used, and it was basically just chicken and cheese. No onions, no chilis, no jalapeños, no peppers. Nothing for flavor or even color. Service was fine, and the staff was honest when asked, which I appreciate. But for a sports bar, the food needs to be far better than reheated, bagged ingredients. Two stars because it is edible and the service was polite, but there is a lot of room for improvement in the kitchen.

I will most definitely be coming back because of him. Thank you Ryan and Thank you for your service to our country.

We came to watch the Kentucky Derby. First, let me say the waitress was great. She kept track of…read moreall thirteen of our orders and did as she was trained. Her demeanor always remained professional and courteous. The food varied based upon what was ordered. Those who ordered sandwiches reported they were good; those that ordered salads said they were okay (the Cobb was missing the egg and the chicken tasted pre-cooked; one person was charged 75 cents for extra honey mustard dressing), and those that ordered burgers said they were mediocre, reporting that the meat was room temperature and had a texture that felt pre-cooked. Beer was great. The issue came from the management. A person in our party ordered a Mint Julep. The waitress had never heard of it and checked with the bartender to make sure it could be made. She said the bartender wasn't familiar with it, but could look it up and make it. The drink never came. One of us went to the bar, picked it up, and brought it to our table. The drink lacked color. When our friend drank it, she said she couldn't taste any bourbon. (A classic Mint Julep should have 2-2.5 oz of KY bourbon.) We asked for more bourbon to pour into the drink. When the bill came, our friend was charged $23 for the drink: $10 for the drink that was made incorrectly, $10 for the extra bourbon, $3 for the sprig of mint. All our wanted was to be compensated the $10 for the incorrectly made drink. Management said they could not do it, that it would be illegal for them to do it, and that the bartender followed "their" recipe and that, even though it may not be what she was used to, the drink was made in accordance with their recipe. In other words, they lied. Management can always "make it right" by offering a $10 compensation, but they would have none of it. The integrity of the restaurant is lacking, particularly regarding management. So many great restaurants exist in the area. (We ate at two other restaurants that week that were excellent and in the same price range.) Why take a chance on one like this? Reading other reviews shows that something is terribly wrong with The Upper Deck Kitchen.....and what they call cocktails.
