My friend tried the lemon pepper buffalo with steak, shrimp and chicken; she really enjoyed it. I got the Cali Fries with spicy chicken and was very pleased. I thought because it's in a cone it would be messy but it wasn't... If you see their truck definitely give them a try

The board was beautiful and she even did it on short notice. All of the food was delicious and it was obvious she took great care in creating our gluten-free board. I can't thank you enough for taking care of us on the short time frame (which I apologize for sincerely). I absolutely recommend this five star business for any of your charcuterie needs.

As a foodie transplant from the West Coast, walking into Reid's immediately reminded me of a…read morebeloved high-end grocer back home--something along the lines of Draeger's: beautifully curated, family-owned, and designed to feel like a destination rather than just a place to shop. There's a real sense of history here. From what I understand, Reid's is one of the oldest grocers in Charlotte, and that legacy shows in the details. The rich green tile, classic signage, and thoughtfully designed layout create an elevated, almost European-style market experience. It feels polished, intentional, and welcoming all at once. What stands out: * The store is beautifully merchandised and carefully curated with specialty and seasonal items you don't always find elsewhere. * The wine bar and café concept make this more than a grocery stop--it's a place to linger. I've enjoyed flights, tastings, and brunch on the patio, and each visit has felt like a small occasion. * Location-wise, it really depends on which store you're visiting. The SouthPark and Myers Park locations have easy, convenient parking, and there's also a newer location in Ballantyne (near Pineville). The Uptown locations, while not necessarily "easy parking," are incredibly walkable--perfect if you live, work, or have meetings nearby. If you're already Uptown, this is a fantastic stop to pick up elevated items for a beautiful dinner--think wine, specialty cheeses, or even something indulgent like caviar to round things out. One thing I appreciate is that Reid's doesn't try to be everything to everyone. It's not an organic-focused market like Whole Foods, and that's okay--it serves a different purpose. The clientele here tends to be people looking for specialty ingredients, elevated prepared foods, and a more curated shopping experience. Many shoppers probably visit both stores depending on their needs, and I find myself doing the same. When Reid's really shines: During the holidays and special seasons. Their selection of unique, festive, and hard-to-find items makes it a go-to for entertaining or finding something a little extra special. Overall, Reid's feels like a true Charlotte institution--elegant, distinctive, and consistently well executed. It's the kind of place that makes grocery shopping feel enjoyable again, and I'm looking forward to continuing to explore more of what they offer as I keep eating my way through Charlotte. Bottom line: A beautifully curated local market with history, charm, and a destination-worthy wine bar--perfect for specialty shopping, brunch, and seasonal finds.

Went here for the first time…read more Food was good and tasty. The salmon wasn't dry like other places. Good amount of chicken pieces in the soup. Only downside is the noodles are not the bigger/thicker. Service is fast. You line up and they serve you. It's a quick to go spot. Ambiance is chill. Note: food is pricey for lunch Will have to stop by here some other time.

There is a QR code to scan and order but it wasn't working and we had to actually order at the window. The food came out in about 15 minutes and was very hot and fresh. The portion size was plentiful and lasted me for multiple meals. The winds came with ranch and a sweet and sour sauce which was delicious. I'll definitely get hot only the wings and fried rice again but also try a few other options next time.

I loved it so much that I returned a week later, but unfortunately, the ingredients were different. It was still good, but the contents were not the same as the first time...possibly because a different guy made the food. I will definitely give them another try in hopes of recreating that initial amazing experience.

Revisited this chocolate shop on the third day was opened. The owner Blair was a pleasure to meet…read more He explained how his business came to be as well as gave many details on his shops products. We we're giving samples of delicious truffles as well as purchased delicious chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and chocolate bars. Recently I visited the shop and was popular surprise that they were offering shop made ice cream. Although brownies are not currently on the menu until next month I was able to purchase their vanilla based ice cream that was full of brownie pieces and dark chocolate. I have nothing but good things to say about chocolatier Blair Potts and his friendly wife Margo. Because this is a chocolatier shop and everything is made from scratch, of course the costs are not the same as your average candy store or supermarket. Everything I've ever purchased from that shop was absolutely amazing and worth every penny.

They'd also be exquisite cocoa with varied notes of fruit, nut or flowers. Not here. $50 in a soft cheap box with nothing fine and notes printed on a desk jet.

I walked in before the lunch rush and stood looking at the menu and there was zero acknowledgment from the sole employee. I waited by the register for a while. No hi/hello or can I help you. Frustrated I ended up placing an order on the app and waited another 15 minutes. I guess they only operate via app? The vegan mango kale smoothie with blueberry was overly sweet despite not adding juice. ($10) I didn't taste much kale. It also comes in a big styrofoam cup, which they say is biodegradable. They sell various high protein Quest snacks. Since there are limited smoothie/juice places in the area, this might be the only option. I'd suggest ordering on the app because staff does not speak. No seating inside but the lobby has a few areas to sit.
