11 Oldest Charlotte Restaurants Worth Visiting | Eater Carolinas

"This 1958 steakhouse in LoSo sticks out amongst its new, shiny neighbors like it doesn’t belong. The thing is, Beef n’ Bottle very much belongs. It was on lower South Boulevard long before any of the breweries and apartments made their way down. There’s a reason it has persevered: the steaks, with a choice of blue cheese, mushroom gravy, or horseradish on top, are known as some of the best in the area. The oysters Rockefeller and shrimp cocktail taste and look like a trip back in time. In the dark, dim-lit dining area, customers’ senses are heightened — the sounds of clinking knives and forks, the melodies of old-timey tunes through the speakers, the aroma of garlic and butter and what could possibly be cigar smoke from decades ago." - Kayleigh Ruller
