This restaurant sit in the middle of a McDonald's and a Waffle House. Not fully self serve. But you would throw your own trash away like how you would at McDs. Owned by an Asian's family. So it's locals owned. You get the typical breakfast and lunch meal.. I got the sausages, scrambled eggs and pancakes which is good. Their coffee is strong. Gave me the shakes later and I did add a lot of sugar and cream. They bring you the meal when it's cook up but you have to order it at the front before you sit down. They told me that twice since I was sitting there waiting on someone.. I'm like I get it the first time you told me. All and all. It's nothing special really. I would like to try their lunch tho.. see if their burgers are good. read more

Stopped in here on the way to doing errands for some home-style cooked breakfast. I was extremely pleased. it's not haute cuisine, but it's also far from the chain restaurants and fast food eateries around town. I ordered a Western omelet with hash browns and dry toast and that's what was on my tray when my number was called. Good size, with plenty of cheese and fillings. A big pile of delish food where you can actually sit down for a bit, read the paper and get change back from a $10. I'll be back! read more

Found a quick little breakfast place near me. Wanted a big breakfast but didn't feel like cooking this am. I purchased the breakfast special for $4.99 which was a great deal with it i had grits,eggs,two turkey sausages,hasbrown, and toast! The emloyees were super nice, i ordered my food to go i don't think its one of those places i would actually sit down and eat in, good thing is i can tell apparently they have alot of regulars that come order breakfast they knew alot of customers by name as they entered.

So I was in the area decided to stop in and have breakfast. I ordered a pancake and two scrambled eggs. First off let me say that my meal came up to 8 dollars and the woman failed to notify me that there was a special for 6 dollars for the same exact thing I ordered ( I over heard another lady telling another customer about the special which was 2 pancakes 2 eggs one meat=6 bucks) like why didn't she offer me that to save a couple bucks but whatever. Poor customer service. Next my eggs were wayyyyy undercooked for scrambled eggs with cheese. How does that happen? The food wasn't that good. Very bland. Needless I won't return. read more

Went at dinner, they were not busy but they were very attentive. The service was very friendly and fabulous. They have so many side choices. I tried the onion rings (which were outstanding) and the fried squash (which was fresh and fantastic). They had a ton of choices all over the Americana map. I tried the jumbo fried shrimp and they were also very good. I didn't find many health food conscious choices... but to be honest I sort of fell off the wagon once I saw all of the delicious fried goodness they were offering. They may have these choices. Hot food, outstanding service, and an extremely reasonable price. It seemed to me (from Cincinnati) to be one of the few local businesses that were not a chain. Support your local business and give Steele Creek a whirl, you wont be disappointed. read more

This is our go to spot post workout on Saturdays. The food is cooked to order and the staff is awesome. I'm a big eater. So my favorite meal is the breakfast special that I add two extra eggs to (for a total of 4 eggs) and hash browns. The biscuits that come with the breakfast special are delicious. But, get there early, because they're made fresh and they'll run out if you wait too long. I can't say enough kind words about the women who work the front counter at this place. They work their tails off and do an excellent job. Plus, they put up with us rowdy CrossFitters every Saturday and never bat an eye. The kitchen staff is really friendly too. You can see them diligently working through the pass through window and they often smile and wave at us regulars. When my parents came to visit I didn't take them to tupelo honey or any of those overdone and high priced places. I took them here, for an authentic Charlotte experience. read more

If I could give them like 2.5-2.8 stars I would, they're not quite 3 stars. I've been here several times. The menu has quite the variety and is relatively cheap. The thing I have gotten the most frequently is a breakfast special. Typically, I get eggs,hash browns and bacon. With their eggs, they just lay cheese on top if you ask for it... not cool. Their hash browns are not good and I LOVE HASHBROWNS so this is sad for me. Their French fries also leave much to be desired. Most recently, I ordered a grilled chicken salad from here. The chicken lacked seasoning but the portion size is good. They are pretty fast with pick up orders. I've heard good things about their Philly cheesesteaks, shrimp salads and pancakes. This place is reliable just don't expect it to wow you unless you're STARVING. read more

If I could give them a lower rating, I would. I spoke with the owner, June, about getting a quote for approx. 100 breakfast biscuits for our company. After repeatedly explaining what I was looking to get a quote on, he still did not grasp what I was requesting. He did offer to call me back, many times, but when I asked him to confirm the number he would be calling me from and a timeframe for the call so I did not miss the call, he continued to just say I will call you back. I asked to speak to someone else who would be able to translate what we needed to him, he put me on hold. Came back, and down the rabbit hole we went again. It was clear after about the fifth time explaining to him what the breakfast quote would need to include, that he was either 1. Not Interested in Quoting or 2. Just another owner who does not have a grasp of his own business operations. Either way, I decided to take our business elsewhere. I hope the food is better than the service I received today. read more

Anytime you pull into a restaurant parking lot at lunch and it's packed with utility trucks you can bet two things; one, you are going to get a lot of food and two, it's going to be fairly priced. This place is no different. They have a great selection of food ranging from soup and salad to fried chicken. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and I was out of there in less than 40 minutes. It is worth checking out if you want some good old home cooking, only out at a restaurant. read more

Welcome to the home of southern comfort, huge portions, great flavors and friendly service... Oh, did I mention how cheap it was?!?! My fiance and I came here to grab breakfast before my meetings, and we had no idea on how it was going to go. I got the home special for 5 bucks, and my fiance got a mix and match of stuff. Tell'ya what, they gave us a HUGE serving plate full of eggs, grits, toast and meat, and let me tell you, everything was delicious! Sadly we could not finish it all, so we took our coffees (free re-fills) and hit the bricks. Total tab, about 12 bucks!

I had hoped this neighborhood cafe would be a surprising gem in Steele Creek. After all, if I can support local, independent businesses AND get a good meal, that's a win. Alas, Steele Creek Cafe, like most of Steele Creek, just didn't wow me. I ordered the breakfast special, a typical eggs, meat, bread combo. The eggs were okay (hard to screw up scrambled eggs). The sausage was dry and lacked flavor. The huge serving of hash browns was bland, and the biscuit was so-so. To be fair, the cafe is on Westinghouse Blvd. and caters to the hard-working blue collar folks who work in this industrial area of Southwest Charlotte, where a good values trumps gourmet dining. Still, I grew up on greasy spoons and all-night diners, and I was hoping for more of a warm-you-up, fill-you-up meal...not good for you, but oh so good. My quest for a true Steele Creek eatery with character continues. read more

Tucked into a retail plaza on Shopton Road, flanked by a dental office and a Goodwill, OneSixty feels like it has been airlifted in from a more polished part of town.

Mrs. K. and I arrived early, around 6pm, and were greeted with warm, attentive service that never felt rushed or performative. Her shrimp skewers were beautifully grilled and generously portioned, and she graciously let me sample one--delicious, with a subtle char and well-balanced seasoning. My Buffalo wings were meaty, spicy without being overwhelming, and served piping hot, which is exactly how wings should be. What stood out even more was the bartender's easygoing approach to crafting a non-alcoholic cocktail. No raised eyebrows, no shortcuts--just a genuinely pleasant drink that felt as considered as any mixologist's signature. It is a small gesture, but one that speaks volumes about the restaurant's inclusive hospitality. And speaking of small gestures, do not miss the whimsical signage on the restrooms. It is a playful touch that adds personality to a place already brimming with charm. OneSixty might be geographically distant from Charlotte's nightlife hubs like South End or NoDa, but it is carving out its own identity in Steele Creek with style and substance. Whether you are a local looking for a refined night out or a visitor curious about one of Charlotte's quieter corners, this spot is worth the detour.

That's exactly what drew me to The Southern Pecan in SouthPark. Here in the South, they call it country fried steak, and I'm happy to report this one did not disappoint. I met a colleague there for lunch, and everything about the experience felt easy from the start. The restaurant is located in Phillips Place, a lovely little shopping area that feels a bit polished and upscale--with shops like Orvis, Tory Burch, and even a Restoration Hardware restaurant nearby. They do offer valet parking, which is a nice touch, though honestly parking is easy enough on your own. We had reservations through OpenTable and were seated on the patio, which was absolutely delightful for this time of year in Charlotte. The weather was perfect, the setting was relaxed, and the service started off warm and welcoming right away. Now, the food. The country fried steak was beautifully cooked--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and served with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy that hit all the nostalgic notes from my Texas upbringing. I paired it with a vegetable side (I believe it was broccoli or corn), and it was a classic Southern plate done right. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, and to finish, we split a praline bread pudding, which felt like the perfect Southern ending to the meal--sweet, comforting, and indulgent without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and attentive, and one of the things I continue to appreciate about Charlotte is how easy it is to connect with people. We even chatted with diners at nearby tables, which added to that welcoming, community feel that makes dining out here so enjoyable--especially for someone coming from the Bay Area. Prices felt fair for the quality, the setting, and the portion sizes, and overall the experience left a great impression. Bottom line: If you're craving a solid Southern classic like country fried steak--or just want a relaxed patio lunch in a charming part of SouthPark--The Southern Pecan is definitely worth a visit. And as someone happily eating my way through Charlotte and the Southeast, this stop was another reminder that the journey has been a delicious one.

I had the Gumbo and Michelle had the beet and goat cheese salad. We both had the Red Fish which comes with smashed potatoes and broccoli. The potatoes were so BLAND, the broccoli had NO seasoning. The Red Fish wasn't that great of a flavor and not very tender, not easy to cut, had to use my knife at times to get a bite. Kinda disappointed, I lived in N Orleans for a couple of years and it was always so good there. The biggest disappointment was the Gumbo. It had all the right ingredients but the ROUX was to strong, dark and heavy. It actually gave me indigestion afterwards. The service was OUTSTANDING. Our Server was Daylean, she was so nice and helpful with the menu and kept our refills coming.

Went here on a Friday night and it was packed. Tons of seating, so we did not have to wait for a…read moretable. The service was good, and the menu was huge - both for food and drink. You can customize the salad and burgers on a pad of paper. The nachos were HUGE - insanely large portion but really good. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the salad - as they messed up some of the toppings/ wasn't crazy fresh, but the buffalo chicken wrap + fries were good. Overall, it was a good meal.

The food was absolutely delicious. The burger was tasty and the sweet potato fries were yummy but…read morethe service was not great. It was a beautiful night and being on the patio seemed like a great idea. Lights on trees all around with a Christmas feel to it. However, our waitress seemed to have forgotten about us as she never checked up on us, didnt refill water, and it took quite some time to get our check. Then when we did receive our check it took quite some time for her to get it. Was tempted to just walk inside to see if I could pay that way. I did like the food. I did not care for the service. If you decide to go here I guess dont go on the patio because you will be ignored.

Something for everyone to enjoy!

Catfish on point and fresh. Loved the space. Comfortable and welcoming. The server was a rockstar. He made excellent recommendations and told me about the Mac and Cheese. I took the chance as he shared some love it and others don't, it depends on your expectations. Overall, highly recommend

We tried Mother's on a weekday afternoon. It was not crowded and we were seated right away. The…read morerestaurant is spacious. I ordered a classic turkey sandwich on sourdough bread with fries. My husband ordered the homemade meatloaf sandwich with coleslaw. We shared a hummus appetizer. Overall, the food was good. My husband really liked his meatloaf sandwich. My classic turkey sandwich was a bit underwhelming for the price. I think $17.99 for an ordinary turkey sandwich is a lot since the cheese wasn't even melted, nor was the bread toasted. 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.

The portions are good and the food tastes good. I'm not not a fan of the home fries because they normally come out room temp and don't have much flavor. Another con is they charge for ice and for water. Other than that I appreciate the speedy service and basic menu. They even have a drive thru.

The restaurant had tables, should you desire to stay there and eat. It was clean for the most part, from what I could tell, having left my glasses in the car. I asked a couple of questions and then placed my order. It didn't take long for my food to come out. The food smelled absolutely amazing. I got the food home and started tasting everything I purchased in the pictures below. Personally, I did not care for the vast majority of the meals. The fish & chicken were so hard and dry that they were like the Sahara Desert. It was flavorless, as were the vegetables. They tasted like they were fresh out of the can. I won't be going back there again, but if I did, it would only be for the mac & cheese, potato salad, and the roll. Not that they were delicious, but they were far better than the rest of the food on the platter. It's a NO for me.
