From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Southern

    Uptown soul-food institution. Lowcountry-influenced shrimp and grits and salmon cakes.

    Picks from Charlotte Magazine

  • Soul Food

    Low Country and Gullah inspired cooking in uptown since 1998, from James and Renee Bazzelle, at 214 N. College St. It has outlasted most of the block around it and still draws a line at lunch. Axios Charlotte counts it among the restaurants that have served Charlotte for more than 30 years, and CharlotteFive readers nominated it in their soul food field.

    Picks from Charlotte Observer and Axios Charlotte

  • Fried Chicken

    An Uptown soul food room at 214 North College Street, open since 1998 and still full before a game. Southern fried chicken shares the menu with shrimp and grits, collards, salmon cakes and cornbread, and it has outlasted most of the Uptown restaurants that opened after it.

    Picks from Axios Charlotte and Charlotte Magazine
