Crab Cake Grit Bowl
Cierra G.

Order and seat yourself style restaurant. They serve cocktails also. All staff were great. They regularly walk around clearing tables and checking on everyone although you don't have a dedicated server. Our food arrived to the table HOT!! Truly made to order but it doesn't take long to receive. I tried the crab cake grit bowl. Grits were seasoned well and the accompaniments went well. The crab cake was too soggy for my liking. I would have preferred it be cooked longer or maybe use of less binder. Overall I would come back and try one of the other items on the menu.

Cornbread waffle. Shrimp and Grits

My favorite breakfast place in Charlotte. The food is always so good and it's not basic. They include a good amount of meatless options. The service is nice, staff is friendly. It's always pretty quiet and peaceful.

I'll admit it. I lowered my expectations when I walked in. The restaurant has more of a dive feel than I expected. It's small, you order cafeteria style before being seated, you seat yourself, and it can get a little noisy. We visited on a Sunday around 2:10 p.m., and there were still plenty of tables available. Then I tasted the food. The menu is built around customization. You can build your own waffle by choosing your waffle, meat, toppings, and sauce. Or build your own biscuit or grit bowl the same way. There are enough combinations that you could come back several times and order something different each visit. I ordered the Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle. It comes with crispy fried chicken, a red velvet waffle, cream cheese drizzle, syrup, and cinnamon butter. The chicken was crispy and juicy, although a few bites were a little salty. Not every bite, and the syrup balanced it out nicely. The cinnamon butter was a nice touch. However the waffles literally disintegrated under the chi My daughter ordered the Crab Cake Benedict Biscuit, and we shared it. It comes with a crab cake, sunny side up eggs, arugula, spinach, and hollandaise on a flaky biscuit. We also shared an order of Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Both were delicious, and the portions were generous enough that we still had leftovers to take home. One thing I liked was the variety of toppings and sauces. I had never heard of bacon jam before seeing it on the menu. If you like to customize your food, you'll have fun here. I came in expecting average and left planning my next visit. Must order: Crab Cake Benedict Biscuit, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Tip: Don't skip the build-your-own options. There are enough combinations to create something every body likes.

The size of the inside took away from the overall experience. Note that it is a place that you order in-line and the food comes out to your table, not traditional table side service. the We did not know that before going so it was a bit shocking and the line was a bit long with not many seats. Overall, the price point for the portion sizes were great and the food was pretty good. Would maybe return to do a pickup food order or place a to-go but wouldn't return for dine in.

Aesthetic: Chill waffle, biscuit and grits spot What to try: Make your own waffle or biscuit! Service: Attentive Parking: Limited Rating: 5/5, The food is excellent. We loved the make your own waffle and biscuit options. My husband made his cornbread waffle with fried chicken, eggs, pimiento and bacon jam, and I made my biscuit with fried chicken, eggs, arugula, gravy, and pecan crumble. Both were delicious, I can't wait to go back and try another combo. However, they are massive so definitely shareable if you just do one or take half home for dinner. The portions are truly generous!

I'm always down for a good brunch, and this spot was the perfect way to wrap up our last morning in Charlotte. The Wafflery is a fast-casual breakfast spot with a surprisingly extensive menu--think waffles, biscuits, and plenty of other brunch favorites. It took me a minute to decide because everything sounded so good! Everything we ordered was flavorful and hit the spot. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to taste. They have two locations, and we visited the Rozzelles Ferry location, which was a great choice because there was more parking available. Just a heads up--both locations get pretty busy on weekends, but the line moves quickly, so the wait isn't too bad. If you're visiting Charlotte or just looking for a solid brunch option, this is definitely worth checking out

Not enough staff. Food just ok. I visited on a Friday morning around 10:40am. The restaurant was about half full and there were people sitting inside and on the outside patio. There were a lot of empty tables that were covered in empty dishes and needed to be bussed. That being said, after the group on front of me had their orders taken at the counter, the cashier left for 10 minutes to go bus all the dirty tables. The line of customers grew longer and longer while this one cashier cleaned the entire restaurant, inside tables and patio tables. I did see another worker who came out and prepared a couple of alcoholic beverages and then went back to the back. I also saw a couple of BOH cooks who came out briefly. They definitely needed another staff member to bus tables instead of making the cashier do everything. When I finally got my food delivered to me I was disappointed that they served my eggs with a broken yolk. The biscuit was huge (it's hard to tell from the pic) and could be shared by 2-3 people. The food tasted fine but just average. The people at the table next to me complained very loudly that their waffles were soggy and undercooked. There is street parking as well as a small parking lot located at the end of the building.

I highly recommend! From the food, the service and the ambience everything was a wonderful experience! We visited Saturday during brunch hour with a large party. So first and foremost, let's talk about the process of this eatery, you are expected to come in and wait in line grab a menu and then order at the counter. Once you order your food you will get a number to go with your meal then you will choose your seating area for larger parties, the staff will assist and support you with seating. Patrons are not following this process and they are saving tables as they enter which is extending the wait time in line. I ordered the chicken and red velvet waffle, and it was delicious! The chicken was fried perfectly and the cream cheese drizzle paired perfect with the velvet waffle! I didn't even use syrup. I ordered a cup of Parmesan grits on the side. I recommend that you try them. All paired with a pineapple mimosa. I am looking forward to returning. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Happy faces

If I could give 6 out of 5 stars to this place I would, love love love them providing vegan options to include the vegan community. We were doubtful if only 2 waffles and biscuit would be enough for us but man! That was sooo filling. We ordered 1. Vegan waffle with peach and cinnamon apples 2. Vegan waffle with blueberries and cherry compote, vegan chicken and peanut butter 3. Vegan biscuit And EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS . Filled our breakfast cravings so very well. Such a cute lovely vibe. Definitely recommend to all.

Crab Cake Grit Bowl! Delicious!
Frankye J.

This is one of my sister's favorite spot. She's been raging about so I had to check it out. It was crowded with happy people eating, so I was excited just to be here. We are our food and it was served on a table in less than 10 minutes! My biscuit was delicious my family enjoyed their waffles! I will certainly return with the rest of the family. The staff members were all very nice and seem excited to be working there.

I was greeted when I walked in. I was the only one in the restaurant when I arrived. Everyone was super friendly. They had several vegan options. The restaurant was clean. I ordered brussel sprouts, grits, a biscuit, and a side of vegan sausage. I wasn't a fan of the biscuit or sausage but the grits and brussel sprouts were a 10/10. It was hard to find the restaurant. But I eventually found it on the corner. Parking was weird. Not many spots in front, but I was able to find a parking lot.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and my family initially sat down not realizing we needed to order first. We were kindly and quickly given instructions, and we got in line to place our orders. After ordering, we were given a number and our food was brought right to our table. I had the Fiery Chicken Biscuit--and it was huge! The biscuit was perfectly flaky, and the chicken was crispy on the outside while juicy and tender on the inside. The flavors were bold, savory, and had just the right amount of spice. My mom had the Peaches and Cream waffle with added chicken--so good! The waffle was tasty with a great texture, and the sweet and savory combo really hit the spot. The space is small, with limited indoor and outdoor seating, and it can get packed quickly--but it's really cute and cozy, with a fun, welcoming vibe. Everyone in my family enjoyed their meals and said they'd definitely come back. Great service and great food--we'll be back!

Gluten Free Waffle

Quick-ish Sunday brunch on our way out of town! Food: Really enjoyed it. GF banana fosters waffle with all the decadent toppings. It's hearty. It's yummy. And you can customize for allergen friendliness (gluten free, vegan...). Service: You stand in line, order, and then someone brings the food to your table. Not ideal to stand with a kid, and not ideal that they make a fuss about you settling in at a table before you order. Ambiance: Eh. You don't come here for the ambiance. But the outdoor seating is lovely on a beautiful day. Kid-friendly? Mostly, yes! Got a high chair. Ordered from the kids menu. Changing table in the bathroom. Saw some other little friends to interact with while there.

Red Velvet waffle with strawberry banana blueberry and cream cheese drizzle with fried chicken on top with HAIR to make it unbeatable!!!

It's the kind of place that feels notably special, distinguished and high end without ever feeling stuffy. Everyone is warm and professional, and the food is absolutely worth every penny. During our first visit, I took a chance and ordered the grits. I normally avoid restaurant grits because they're almost always bland, flavorless and gelatinous. But the grits at Easy Like Sunday were completely different in the best way. Creamy with the slightest grainy texture and so perfectly seasoned that you don't need to add butter, salt, pepper or anything else. I had been daydreaming about those grits for two years. We finally made it back this past Friday and arrived when the doors opened at 9:00am. We were seated immediately. I ordered the Little Bit of Everything with eggs, bacon, those unforgettable grits and a thick, fluffy, delicious buttermilk pancake. That first spoonful of grits tasted exactly the way I remembered, maybe even better. My eyes actually welled up with tears. I know that sounds extreme but I'm not exaggerating. After waiting two years to taste them again, they felt familiar and comforting, like coming home. Our waitress, Diana, made the morning even more special. She was warm, welcoming and accommodating. When I told her I could nearly cry over those grits, she didn't make me feel silly or dramatic. She agreed saying,"Oh, I know! We have the best grits!" She said she completely understood why that first bite made me feel emotional. Being served by Diana felt like being taken care of by an old friend. We had never met her before, yet she treated us as though she had known us for years. Easy Like Sunday is a hidden little treasure tucked away across the street from Park Road Shopping Center. It's the kind of place you take someone special for a first date, an anniversary, a milestone, a birthday or simply a morning you want to remember. The atmosphere is cozy and polished, the food is wonderful, and Diana is an absolute gem. We cannot wait to return!

Our server was great, but unfortunately, the food was below average and didn't quite live up to the…read moreexpectations. Ube has such a naturally rich, nutty, and creamy flavor that I expected the pancake to have plenty of that character. Instead, it was dry, lacked moisture and flavor, and honestly tasted more like a regular pancake with ube coloring than an actual ube pancake. We also ordered the French toast and a cup of coffee, and the total came out to around $47. I'm glad we gave it a try, but overall, the meal was pretty underwhelming. The service was the highlight, but the food was just so-so.

Waffles are 5 stars!!!…read more So there is a "Food Truck Fridays" every Friday in the South Blvd area. A friend told me she was going there after work so I decided to meet her there. I walked around and came across this truck; all it took was for me to walk pass one person that ordered a waffle and I said I had to try that! Let me tell you, I was NOT DISAPPOINTED WHATSOEVER!! This waffle is soo GOOD!!! I ordered the strawberry and Nutella waffle. The waffle itself caught my attention because it was on an ice cream stick and as weird as I thought that was at first - it worked and actually added appeal to the waffle presentation! Once I took that first bite!!? It was over! The waffle was perfectly made and totally satisfying to my tastebuds!

So the Matilda Wong is a popular cocktail at the restaurant, in part because it comes in a pitcher, which is not huge but the drink can definitely shared by two people. It tasted really good honestly, with various fruity hints. I felt a slight buzz after sipping on it for a bit. The Breakfast Pizza was super good! I ate the entire piece on my own, but I probably could have split it with my friend. The fried egg, chorizo, and the queso fresco were amazing toppings on the pizza. I wanted to try the famous Baked French Onion Soup, but it was not available for brunch. This is a really good place for American food that has a slight mix of global flavors.

I mean, can it get any better than a spread of vegan elote corn, nachos smothered with beans, seitan, guac/queso/crema or my new favorite, the crunch wrap with a glass of something icy cold (I usually get a glass of something sparkling at the back bar).
