    1/2 Wood Fired Chicken Avocado Sandwich
    Latonya S.

    Uptown lunch at Cashew Kid is a must, especially if you hit that 11 AM-3 PM sweet spot for the best specials. Bravo Emily for giving us five-star service; her attention to detail and knowledge of the menu were top-notch. The chicken avocado sandwich paired with the five-cheese cast-iron mac was excellent. Beet lovers will be delighted by the Woodfire Grill beets with whipped feta and mandarin orange. Pro-Tip: Speak with Sasha for more insight on large group events. It's the perfect chill atmosphere for a high-quality city lunch. Follow me for more of my favorite Charlotte finds!

    I said it six years ago, and I'll say it again -- just go to Kid Cashew. In all the years since my first visit, I've had nothing but good food and good experiences. The food is consistently good and has so many good-for-you options that you can't go wrong, whether you're ordering a wood-fired portobello gyro or the deliciously juicy Big Mac daddy. (Ok, that last one's not good for your health, but it *is* good for your tastebuds.) All hail the wood-fire grill! The patio outside is still a great spot, even in the winter when it's covered. And there is plenty of group seating inside, too. I've used their catering services for work events and have enjoyed introducing so many of my team members to what is *still* one of my favorite spots in Charlotte.

    Bland ass Burger and 5 cheese watery Mac

    One Star for my server! She was so sweet. I guess when you see a lot of people sitting outside on the patio, that means the weather is really nice but that doesn't mean that the food is any good probably the worst hamburger I've had in Charlotte. No flavor bland ...says asked for medium but is undercooked the mac & cheese is supposed to be a five cheese mac & cheese, but it has onions and leaks!!!??? No No No ...in it some kind of peppers or something also bland no taste but hey, it's only $11.95 lol... won't be back.

    Recommended by a local, we decided to try this restaurant after attending an event at the Parr Center nearby. Casual atmosphere, great sharables menu with a variety of both vegan, vegetarian and meat options. We thought they were good portions for two to share. Unfortunately, we didnt take any pic of the dishes except for dessert! Which, is not on the menu, ask your server about! We chose to sit on the outdoor porch because we had our dog with us. Wven with outside temps at 80 (in April) it was comfortably cool!

    Brunch on a Sunday! Yum! Kids eat free... 3 options but good portions. Mimosas crafes were only $12. Wow! Food was great. Chicken salad was real pulled chicken and great avocado. Kids French toast was stuffed with strawberry so good! Quinoa stuff avocado was so fresh! Octopus was fantastic!!!! Service was good not great but fine. Got busy so we understood the wait. Took unreasonable long for 1 of the meals to come out, otherwise would have gone 5

    Still 5 star after all these years! Food is consistently excellent- service is fast - and if go between 3-6p Mon- Fri you'll catch their happy hour pricing - all small plate are 7 - today only 55 bucks and that included 3 cocktails Get the LAMB burger Also GET - the grilled octopus the grilled beets the shrimp and polenta the meatballs in a savory rich brown gravy get the hummus - they are all delicious It's a cozy spot with a fairly large patio too! We hit this place up at 2-3 times each month!

    This dining experience was a family event and I must say- it was perfect. I love how eclectic the place is and the staff was friendly (albeit a bit sparse.) The food was affordable and absolutely delicious! I had the lamb burger and we split the Mac n cheese, avocado and one of the popular dips. Everything was so good and I haven't stopped thinking about it. Will def be returning next time I'm in the area.

    Wood Fired Grilled Octopus
    Sam B.

    Sat at the bar for a quick meal here. It was lively, but not too loud. I ordered the octopus, meatballs, and rotisserie chicken. The octopus was flavorful, but a tad bit chewy for my liking. It was not enough to take away from the dish. The meatballs were phenomenal. They were tender, juicy, and the sauce they came in was INSANE. Lastly, the rotisserie chicken was well-seasoned and very moist. My only complaint would be that it's a bit hard to pull apart, but that is to be expected. The service was friendly and attentive, especially for sitting at the bar. I love that they were shirts with "goats" like Ali and Bourdain. Additionally, the prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely want to try more of the menu. Overall 4.4/5

    Grilled Pork Chops and Beans, beans on the side
    Jada M.

    I ordered takeout to the office and, unfortunately, the food wasn't very appealing. I ordered the Impossible Gyro, but it appeared to have some type of chicken in it, which was confusing and disappointing since I specifically chose a plant-based option. The meatballs, however, were good and definitely the highlight of the order. My food was ready in a timely manner, which I appreciated. Overall, the quality didn't quite meet my expectations this time. I may give the restaurant another try by dining in, but based on this experience, the food was just okay.

    Burger and spicy seasoned chips
    LaDeanne D.

    It's been a few years since we have been here so we decided to give it another shot. We went for brunch after @frontporchsundays. Between the two of us we had a Bloody Mary, a burger (not the Mac daddy, the one with bacon) and the egg stack . The good: the Bloody Mary had a bit more of a kick to it than my husband would like but he still enjoyed it and was the best thing we ordered. The not so good: The texture on the egg stack was strange and not pleasant at all. I left 2/3 of the little square on my plate untouched and the server didn't even comment or ask about it. The bacon was undercooked and limp but I cut off the fat and ate the bacon and avocado. I would NOT recommend the egg soufflé/stack. Lacking in flavor and the texture was not remotely egg-like. The burger had good flavor but the bun completely fell apart in my husband's hands after the FIRST BITE. He ate it with a fork and left the bun and the chips behind because the chips had a spicy seasoning on them and between that and his drink, it was too much spice. Again, the server takes his plate away with most of the food on the plate still and doesn't say a word. The first visit wasn't especially memorable and this second visit wasn't any better. I wish the business well but it's not the place for us.

    Cilantro Lime Chicken Skewers
    Reana K.

    Where to even begin!? My brother was in between having us eat here and a place across from here called Penguin. I'm really happy we ate at Kid Cashew! From the service to the atmosphere on the patio where we chose to eat, everything was immaculate. Our server told us about a great deal where the tapas are all discounted until 6pm Monday through Friday. We got a bottle of wine for the table and tried a bunch of food to share for the table. I think one of my favorites was the chicken skewers! The chicken literally melted off the skewers and tasted so good with the cilantro lime. The Mac and cheese was to die for too. Can't forget the octopus! It paired well with the couscous and seasoning. If I was around here again in Charlotte, I would definitely come back here and do their tapas again! It was filling, hit the spot, and yummy!

    After becoming stranded in Charlotte due to the winter storm, we embarked on a culinary adventure and discovered Kid Cashew, a Mediterranean restaurant. The establishment's namesake originates from the owner's childhood pet goat. We were impressed by the menu's diverse offerings. I opted for the quinoa-stuffed avocado and shrimp with polenta as starters, both of which were delectable, and concluded with the lamb burger as my main course, which was exceptional. My partner began with the spicy feta starter and subsequently ordered the quinoa-stuffed avocado after sampling mine. For their main course, they selected the salmon, which was expertly prepared. I also indulged in the Pearadise Margarita mocktail. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu and strawberry shortcake, which were both excellent and the perfect ending to a really amazing dinner. Overall, our dining experience was outstanding, and we departed with full bellies, eager to return.

    Upon entering the establishment we were quickly greeted and seated. Our server wasn't too far behind to take our drink order and took an order for a small plate for us to share. Our small plate arrived a shortly after about 5 minutes. We received the cast iron Mac and cheese and it was delicious and couldn't recommend enough. We decided to order the Big Cheese Burger and the All Natural wood fired chicken avocado. Our waiter at that point had been a little infrequent but had managed to keep our waters from going empty. When our meals arrived is where things took a turn. We hardly seen our waiter anymore, which was a bummer. My chicken sandwich ended up being shredded chicken which no where on the menu mentioned that, but I could've asked that prior to ordering I'll admit. Wood fired just led me to assume it would have been a patty. That being said of our meals were very bland. So I was looking for something to add at least to try to salvage it. Mine being shredded chicken it didn't really change how bland it was with trying to add salt and pepper or the chipotle sauce I was offered. I was offered two other things but those it's typically are on the bland side of things too so I didn't attempt. The burger was on a similar issue, no seasoning and just relied on the wood fire. The bacon on it was also unevenly cooked. The only thing not bland in our meals were the chips which were an unbalanced amount of cayenne pepper. Overall I liked the atmosphere and the starter. While it wouldn't be somewhere I'd highly recommend based on what I ordered, I'd definitely go back and try different items. Looking around us plenty of people seem to enjoy what they had ordered. So I'm assuming we just ordered something not as good, or had an off day for the cook.

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

    This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW
