    10" Marley Pizza Supreme Pizza
    Cierra G.

    First time trying this spot. They were not taking card only cash cashapp or Zelle. We waited about 15-20 min for the Marley pizza and chicken Philly rolls. The food smelled amazing on the ride back home. Pizza had so much flavor, not your typical chain pizza 4/5. While the chicken Philly eggrolls didn't give me 'Philly' more of a chicken and cheese it was still really good 4/5. I look forward to trying some of their other menu items. Def would recommend visiting!!!

    Wings (Mumbo)
    Darius M.

    Man let me start off by saying. Love the customer service hands down!!!! The food omg the wings were fried to perfection. And then coated evenly with the mumbo sauce!!!!! The lobster Mac!!!!! Just know i wanted secondsssss!!!!! My brother got the grits with salmon, he said it's a bangerrrr. I will say if you near downtown charlotte come out here and try them.

    Fried wings and fries

    This is deliciously heavy comfort food. The flavors and creative combinations of culinary artistry are there. What is not there, is a sear . Keep in mind this is a carryout location; however, it's worth it!

    Salmon and Grits
    Lawren R.

    My boyfriend took me here and let me tell you something 10 outta 10!!!! I didn't know this place existed but i am so glad I know now! Everything we had was absolutely delicious and creative. I would never in a million years think salmon tacos with Alfredo sauce dipping sauce would be good but it was phenomenal. Food is made to order so takes a minute depending on how many orders are being made but well worth the wait. I'll absolutely be back!

    Oxtail pizza aka I'm coming back soon
    Gregory L.

    Great food great service. The oxtail pizza was different I'm hooked. It does have peppers but it is not spicy at all

    oxtail pizza
    Melissa Z.

    This place is amazing & I loved everything about it. All 4+ people who tried the food with me said the same. I've been eyeing this place from their instagram pictures and stories for a while now and finally got to come and try it. I got really lucky because there was no line when I came in but right after I ordered there was a line through the hallway! I ordered a lot of food however they were still very quick (15 minutes) with preparing it and everything was hot and cooked just right. The staff inside was also very nice and patient too as I navigated the long menu. It is not a sit down restaurant, you just go inside, place the order, then wait in the hall or your car for the food. The menu is so long- they have all types of tacos, pastas, burgers, pizzas, etc. Then they also have their specials menu to go along with it. You can't come here and not want at least 3 things. I got the oxtail pizza (of course), salmon alfredo birria tacos, garlic parmesan wings, lobster mac, mac and cheese egg rolls, and some more wings and lobster mac for people in our party. I paid around $107 which I think is great for that much food and the quality of it. We honestly loved everything and was snacking on it all afternoon. We had no complaints about anything. The oxtail pizza and salmon alfredo tacos were top 2. The wings are also super juicy so if you like yours crispy you should say that when ordering. I heard from other people the salmon and pastas are amazing too so I'll definitely be back for a round 2 of trying everything else.

    MAC rolls

    Although we weren't necessarily greeted, there, wasn't a issue with service. The food is very, very well dressed. The presentation is immaculate. The taste all combined together very well. We got the fried Mac rolls and the oxtail pizza. The Mac rolls were really good. There's a nice crunch on the eggroll and the bacon is not too rubbery or crunchy it pairs well together. The oxtail pizza has a very sweet taste. It is not a red based pizza which I liked. The dough is cooked very well oxtail very tender juicy overall 10 out of 10 would've never expected it. Looks like we found a new restaurant place to add to our list.

    Chicken Birria Tacos
    Nicole H.

    This place has been in heavy rotation on my social media feed so I decided to try it. I don't think it's bad by far just not my cup of tea. It's a small Togo place with no seating area. One plus is everything is freshly made be prepared to wait 30mins. I wanted the infamous oxtail pizza, when i tried to ordered it, the person at the register asked the owner if it was available, the owner responded with "what did I just say...is it 3 o'clock yet". Rude for no reason. He treats his employees like children. He yelled at the cashier for trying to help in the kitchen. Nonetheless, I continued my mission on trying his food. I started with the chicken Philly rolls, they were salty and nothing special. Second, I got 8 hot honey wings, I ate one due to the high sodium. Lastly, the chicken Birria tacos, finally something worth the price. Those were good, still salty but nothing I'd return for. I prefer the traditional Birria over chicken. Perhaps if he wasn't so rude to his employees I'd give it another try. Every place has its off days as far as the food being over seasoned but the customers advised me that he always treats his employees like that.

    Oxtail Grilled Cheese
    Evan D.

    I've been eyeing Renaldo's Culinary Experience on social media like it's the last slice of pizza. Every time I'd end up on DoorDash, there it was, flaunting those upscale prices like a bougie boutique. I mean, who charges a king's ransom for a sandwich, right? But there I was, near his place on Remount Rd, and my stomach was making executive decisions. "Come on, it's lunchtime and you're starving," my belly argued. So, I caved faster than a diet at a dessert buffet. Content creators have been posting over four dishes: the lobster mac & cheese, lobster grilled cheese, oxtail pizza, and the oxtail grilled cheese. Tough choices. I went for the oxtail grilled cheese--it comes with a side of crispy waffle fries and a birria dip that's pretty much liquid gold. The bread, grilled to a crisp perfection. The cheese and oxtail combo, melded together better than a hit remix. The waffle fries, they might just start a turf war with that chicken joint that takes Sundays off. Dropping $26 on a grilled cheese felt like a splurge, but hey, it was delicious. Just a heads-up: devour that masterpiece quick! Leave it in the to-go box too long, and you'll have a soggy disaster worthy of a foodie horror show. Next time, I'm eyeing the oxtail pizza. Because apparently, I haven't learned my lesson about fancy fast food.

    Garlic Parmesan wings and fries.
    Darryl L.

    This was my first time trying Renaldo's. I'd heard so much about it but was never in the area until today. I pulled in a parking lot to get the directions and it just so happened that it was their parking lot. Luckily, there wasn't a line to order when I arrived, so ordering was quick and painless. The only issue I had was deciding what to get. I decided on the garlic parm wings and fries. There was a bit of a wait because everything is made to order. It was fine because I wasn't in a hurry and I was admiring the figurine collection. The wings and fries were perfect. What more can I say. The wings were drenched in flavor. Also, they were huge. My picture didn't do them justice. This was a good trip. I'm glad I got the chance to check them out. I highly recommend that you do, as well. I can't wait to go back.

    Ramen
    Jazmine S.

    The ramen noodles and bang-bang shrimp tasted great. Service was prompt and food took about 15-20 minutes. I would recommend this place and will definitely return to try the pizza.

    Door front
    Myiah H.

    They feel like family in here! First time trying on my lunch break and I followed the gps until I saw the decorated door with the restaurants name. Once I got in to the restaurant, I noticed that there was no inside seating. I'd placed a call in order, so I went to the counter and gave my name. When I was paying, one of the brothers, noticed my NC A&T mask and we started joking about schools. This really made me feel as if I was amongst family. When conversed for a while as the cashier was getting my bags together. When I informed him this that this was my first time trying them and that I was Yelp Elite, he told me to bring ALL my Yelp Friends & A&T family. So you guys, give them a try! You've been invited!! I ordered the Best of Both Worlds Burger, salmon Philly egg rolls, garlic bread, and skittles tea (the blue one), & was able to try the candied grapes, since we'd quickly established a rapport. Best of Both Worlds Burger (burger with onion rings, Cheerwine BBQ, topped with Lobster knuckle, bacon, and cheddar cheese) So.. OF COURSE I ORDERED IT!!! Duhhhhh! The burger is phenomenal, but personal preference would have been to add more bbq sauce to the burger, but that's just me. I only ate about a quarter of the burger for lunch bc it's huge, but those flavore profiles are unmatched. I've never had a lobster knuckle on a burger with onion rings & bbq sauce before so my pallet was bursting with flavors. The salmon Philly egg rolls come with a sweet chili sauce & they really were the show stoppers!! The eggs rolls were packed with salmon, and bits of cheese. They were crispy on the outside & chewy & flaky on the inside from the salmon filling. The garlic bread was an addition bc I wanted to try theirs, and it was ok, but I'd def have to try it again with a pasta instead of by itself. I feel like the taste will be brought out with the cheese sauces from their pastas. The candied grapes were sweet, multi textured, and reminded me of treats I've eaten as a child. While eating them, my entire mouth turned a bright pink color, but I couldn't stop munching on them. They were tasty, & I'd would order the again. I also tried the skittles lemonade. They had different flavors, & I tried a blue colored one. The flavors may have been a berry of some sort, but it was cold, sweet, tasty and refreshing. THEY WILL BE SEEING ME AGAIN. I cant wait to bring my friends & family over to let the get the culinary experience here!! Job well done guys!!

    Best lobster sandwich in the world. Prove me wrong!!!!

The menu leans Latin-American with some Southern influence, and you can tell there's real intention behind the food--not just trendy plating. A few dishes that really stand out: * CrispyPan Seared Chicken - super clean execution, great char, and balanced with bright, fresh flavors. It's simple but done right. * Fried Beef Tacos - easily a must-order. Crispy, rich, and layered with acidity so it doesn't feel heavy. * Ceviche - fresh, citrusy, and well-seasoned. You can tell they're not cutting corners here. * Street Corn (Elote) - bold, messy, and exactly what you want it to be. * Gator Bites - crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Fun dish that's actually executed well--not just a gimmick. The atmosphere is just as strong as the food--high energy, great patio, and a space that feels alive without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place you can take a team, a date, or just roll in after work and still feel like you made the right call. Service is typically on point too--friendly, quick, and they keep things moving even when it's busy, which matters. Only thing that throws people off sometimes is parking, but don't let that stop you: There is parking behind the restaurant if the main lot is full. Overall, this is one of those spots that hits consistently--good food, strong execution, and a vibe that keeps people coming back.

My husband's meatloaf sandwich was $19.99 and his sweet tea was $3.99. The hummus appetizer, which was a few mouthfuls for two people to share, was $5.00. Our bill was a whopping $59.00 and some change, including tip. We skipped dessert. I think a little piece of cake was around $15.99. If we choose to return I'd order something else to justify the price. The atmosphere is nice and our server was pleasant. I'd say try it out if you're in the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, this latest menu feels like a big step back. So many longtime staples are gone: no fries, no Brussels, no burrata, no flatbreads, and even the steak has disappeared from the mains. What's left feels repetitive, with multiple dishes centered around the same basmati rice and salad combination. We also tried the two new "for the table" additions, and neither felt worth the price. The "caviar" is simply roe at $25, and the deviled eggs with roe at $17 were underwhelming. Unless some of the old favorites return or there's more variety added, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon, aside from maybe Flight Night.
