    Avocado egg wrap
    Marissa F.

    Service great, diner gives you a really homey vibe and like everyone knows everyone. I was surprised at how good my breakfast wrap was, this is your spot if you want some real good homey breakfast food. I have yet to try their pancakes and other items, but I'm excited nonetheless.

    Two eggs over medium, grits, toast and coffee
    Ben C.

    The best. I can't believe I skipped over this gem for decades. Best country ham and two egg breakfast I've ever had. The corned beef hash was amazing too.

    This is the Greek salad with chicken, not pictured (because I already ate it) there absolute super Fresh pita bread!!!!
    A S.

If you are Looking for a small local place please try Nicks!!!! They have great food and a awesome delivery guy too!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

    Veggie burger with onion rings on the side - this was average
    Stefi P.

    Had heard about this for a long time and finally had lunch here , delayed probably because of their less hours. But I must say I really enjoyed the food here. However would say the veggie burger was average but the meat dishes were really good. Service was fast and it was really big portion for the price. They have lunch combo's - a must try than individual items. Good seating. Highly recommended!

    131 MAIN is probably one of my favorite restaurants in South Charlotte. For the quality of the food…read moreand the price, I really think it's a great deal. The food is consistently good and the customer service is always good too. On this visit, I mentioned that it was my birthday and they surprised me with a dessert. It was such a courteous and kind gesture and truly made my birthday feel a little more special. I've actually been asked before what my favorite restaurant is in South Charlotte because so many of Charlotte's really good restaurants are Uptown or in other parts of the city. Every single time, my answer is 131 MAIN. The quality, price, service, and consistency keep me coming back. Definitely one of my South Charlotte favorites.

From the moment we arrived, I felt genuinely valued as a customer. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special without being overbearing. We ordered the margarita, espresso martini, shrimp cocktail, salmon, crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs, and honestly, every single thing was spectacular. Everything was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and exceeded our expectations. The drinks were delicious, the seafood was fresh, and the sides were just as impressive as the entrees. I truly have zero complaints. It's not often that you leave a restaurant feeling like everything--from the food to the service to the overall experience--was exactly right. 131 Main definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience. 10/10!

Now I'll admit -- I'm a tough judge of cornbread. A lot of people will serve it to you as dry as the desert. Crumbly. Without any love. At the southern pecan, I could've had a whole sheet of their cornbread -- it was pleasantly delicious. Also of note: Our server was prompt and kind. The vibe inside was really cool too. Overall, I'd come back!

We started with the hush puppies and raw oysters. The mignonette was really interesting, chunky with apples (I think?). It wasn't really my thing personally, but definitely unique. The hush puppies came out HOT and crispy with a honey sauce. You can also get them dusted with cinnamon and sugar, which I thought was a fun option. For lunch, I went with the pecan crusted catfish with oven baked mac and cheese and collard greens. The catfish was SO crispy but still delicate inside, and that pecan topping was delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy with a bubbly, crunchy top. The collard greens were perfectly seasoned. Sometimes collards can be way too vinegar heavy, but these had a really nice balance. Everything came out HOT, which I always appreciate. Really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere here!

The hasbrowns were soaked in grease. My wife had the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was cold, the sausage tasted like it was a frozen patty. The biscuit which had some herbs seemed to had a piece of hair in it. The person(I'm assuming the manager) who came over to take care of us stated it was from the herbs in the biscuit batter, I really wanted to enjoy Mothers.

The one on lettuce was better, more larger pieces of lobster, but meat was put onto a lot of lettuce to prop it up. It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed.

We started with cocktails, which were delicious, followed by the pork belly bao buns. These disappeared so quickly I'm honestly impressed I managed to get a picture. The homemade focaccia was a little underwhelming on its own and could've used more flavor, but the onion jam served with it was fantastic and definitely helped bring it to life. The shrimp & grits were everything you'd expect from a Southern-inspired dish, with barbecue sauce and homemade pickled red onions adding a great twist. Then came the spätzle, and as a German girlie, I take my spätzle seriously. This one absolutely delivered! The chicken was incredibly tender, and the cilantro, scallions, chili crisp, and other spices gave it such a fun, unexpected spin. We also tried the cacio e pepe, which was simple, delicious, and clearly done right. It's one of those dishes with so few ingredients that you know immediately when someone nails it. Our only real miss was the chef's counter. I expected more of an actual chef-counter experience (you know, like interaction with the chef and a peek at the action), but the main chef seemed to be off to the side and never really interacted with us. There was someone doing some prep work in front of us, but it didn't feel like the experience I had envisioned. Honestly, I'd rather have sat within the main dining room. Still, that's a small blip in an otherwise fantastic anniversary dinner. We were too full for dessert (a tragedy), left with leftovers, and most importantly, left with a great memory as they are closing their doors soon so the owner can open a new style restaurant. Reservations are definitely recommended since it's small and fills up quickly. If you haven't been, add this Charlotte staple to your list before it's gone... you won't regret it!

I always enjoy coming in and sitting at the bar, waiting for my table because of how busy it is. I could get a reservation, but I'd rather hang out, and order an app, and people watch or have some conversation with the locals. I don't often drink, but the prickly pear margarita on the patio in the spring/summer is 10/10. The bartender Jay is always on it, he has a great memory, and will put in your order before you get the words out. I've had everything from the filet mignon to the sushi, and seasonal fish options during the holidays. Everything has been pretty great every time. The only critique I have for the food is, with the calamari. Stop adding peppers onto the pile, you can't tell what's calamari and what's peppers. There are often more peppers than calamari. All in all this place can live off word of mouth alone. If you go more than once, you typically see the same groups of individuals every week. And in today's volatile market, that's how you last. Pro tip: You can't go wrong with any dessert, the sundae, carrot cake, or brownie...it's all worth the calorie splurge.

It was easy to make a reservation on their website, and I recommend a reservation as it was very busy on a Saturday night. The interior has quite an upscale feeling with dim lighting and an overall premium feeling. I was seated right away, and the server was quite helpful and friendly. I had the charred grapefruit cocktail which was flavorful and balanced. Delicious! I was curious about the deviled eggs, and the server mentioned that I could try a half order. They were delicious! The sugar bacon accompanying them was truly delicious as well! I also had the house salad with honey mustard dressing which was a delicious salad with fresh vegetables, eggs, and bacon! For an entree I had the "prime meatloaf" which had a very nice presentation (see photo). I substituted a baked potato with bacon and chives. The potato was delicious with a perfectly fluffy filling. The meatloaf was flavorful and tender, but the sauce was a bit salty and overpowered the meatloaf. Maybe ask for the sauce on the side if you try this dish. For dessert I had the key lime pie. It had a wonderfully tart, custardy filling. The macadamia nut crust was almost a little bit too crunchy, and I would've preferred a more traditional graham cracker crust. Overall, this was a very tasty dining experience!
