"Haberdish is like Barbra Streisand’s trophy room: it contains multitudes. This upscale Southern joint does classics like fried chicken, BBQ ribs, deviled eggs, and hushpuppies, all plated on fine china with pretty garnishes. Go for brunch or dinner and order everything family-style. Haberdish is in NoDa, which is where Charlotte’s textile industry began, and the restaurant’s exposed brick and wood beams fit right in. This place is always full, especially on weekends, so definitely book ahead." - tess allen, g clay whittaker
