18 Best Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Chef Chris Coleman has fun with food, specifically Southern cuisine, over at the Goodyear house on North Davidson Street. The marinated shrimp with a mignonette butter meant for slathering atop saltines is a joy to eat, as is the decked-out beef tartare. The “goopy” burger using Shipley Farms meat and a pillowy potato bun is easy eating. The menu clearly pays its respects to Carolina cuisine, but the food’s more lighthearted and notably lighter. It’s a restaurant with some of the darlingest designs in town — very farm-cottage-with-open-windows vibes. And famed mixologist Bob Peter’s cocktails are fresh, sometimes vegetal, and sometimes fruity little things." - Kayleigh Ruller
