Love love love! 💕 Simply ahhhhmazing food- think elevated southern church potluck in a crazy cool renovated old church! Top of the list #1!! Be sure to check out their side bar- it looks like a tropical poolhouse bar with really good cocktails (and ... They have mastered the art of mixology!! Drink up!
Supperland
Perfect casual bite to eat and LIVE music Wed - Sun on patio! (weather permitting) Check out the $10 Tuesday steak burger night- incredible! Plus their homemade dessert case in the front is to die for- highly recommend any of their cheesecakes. Yum, yum, yum!!! They also have lots of grab-n-go homemade pastas, salads, etc in their deli case - all very good too.
Restaurant in SouthPark Charlotte - Reid's for Fine Foods
Hands down the BEST espresso martini in all of Charlotte!! And I am super picky about my espresso martinis. Secret…its actually in Ft Mill SC but 100% worth the 15 minute drive. Not to mention the area its in Kingsley has a few other fun spots to ...
Corkscrew Kingsley
Favorite Upscale spot- order the caesar salad with the egg on top (soooo good!), boom boom shrimp is delicious, and their espresso martini comes in a super chilled glass which is perfection. The steaks are also excellent. Sit in the front bar…the people watching alone is worth the price of admission- trust me!
Steak 48

To die for cupcakes- plus they deliver! These will make anyone's day and tons of yummy, creative flavors. Makes me :)
Smallcakes Ballantyne
Yummy lattes and bakery items- soooo good! Try the lavender vanilla latte if they have it- outstanding!
Copain Bakery
Tacos & Tequila…need I say more!! My favorite local spot for tacos and margaritas plus their outdoor patio area is super cute too. Perfect spot on a nice evening to have dinner outside and the atmosphere is lively and fun. Just a fun twist on upscale tacos worth checking out in Charlotte- plus its in one of my favorite neighborhood areas.
RuRu's Tacos & Tequila
My quick go-to spot for an outfit on a budget …cause sometimes we just need something new ;) They have lots of stuff, the inventory turns fast, so always something new every time I go. Plus I don't see everyone else wearing the exact same thing. People always ask me where I get my outfits and it is often from here- best of all very affordable!
Broadcloth Boutique
The diviest of neighborhood Dive Bars…but with LIVE music every weekend! It's fun and loud with cold cheap drinks and great people watching- what more can you ask for! No need to dress up, shorts and tshirt will do. You'll fit riiiiiiight in! LOL
Comet Grill
If you love live music, amazing Cuban food, and something different and unique then this is the place for you! The food is sooooo good and they change the menu often to keep it new. But highly recommend their empanadas, mojitos and cuban coffee! Ohhh I am craving it just writing this for you. Enjoy!
El Puro Cuban Restaurant
Atmosphere On Point! Love this place just outside of Uptown (thats what they call Charlotte's downtown)…great cocktails and food is excellent! I enjoy sitting at the bar but it does get packed - highly recommend snagging a reservationi on Resy if you can.
Charlotte - The Crunkleton
Pie 🥧 Ohhhh My!!! The BEST homemade pies & cakes 🍰… and a whole (yes that’s what I said!) is only $30-35! So don’t be rude and show up empty handed, stop by here and grab yourself the best dang treat and show up to the next party or cookout l...
Kudzu Bakery & Market
Fun & Free outdoor concert series with a local, casual park-like setting in upscale Southpark! Great date night 🧺 🍷 🍇 🧀 and you can bring your own chairs & snacks
