Where To Celebrate Old Fashioned Week in Charlotte | Eater

"131 Main has been a nice-night-out mainstay for almost twenty years — a rarity in Charlotte — and now has a handful of locations across the area. Visitors, from Ballantyne to Lake Norman, keep going back for that cornbread, in its sweet, cast iron glory, as a standalone snack, or as a trusty companion to most every item on the classic entree menu — filet mignon, pork chops, shrimp and grits, which all pair perfectly with an equally classic Elijah Craig Old Fashioned." - Vox Creative

We went to celebrate our friend birthday with a lunch. Made our reservations ahead of time so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. Our server Chase was great, knowledgeable and friendly. He suggested most of the items and they were all delicious. We were given complementary dessert for the birthday girl. After food he even offered us coffee and it was just perfect after the food. They have nice fire pit outside with chairs to enjoy the weather. Enjoyed our lunch with them.

I brought my husband here for a night out and it was amazing from start to finish. The services was impeccable and Demetrius took good care of us. They have the best smoked salmon dip and halibut I’ve ever had. The garden fresh lemon drop is my new favorite and the key lime pie blew our minds! We will be back!

Randomly chose 131 Main for dinner with my husband. Truly enjoyed the experience! Michael was our server and provided excellent service! We started with the infamous cornbread...a must have! My husband ordered the Chicago Ribeye, and it was tender and juicy. I got the cedar plank salmon with a side of Brussels (seasonal veggie)---the best I've ever had! We didn't plan on dessert but was offered it complimentary so we chose the banana cream pie...icing on the cake! Had the best time, great atmosphere, views of the busy kitchen, and excellent service! Will definitely come back!

I had an amazing experience at 131 Main! The ambiance was lovely, creating a perfect atmosphere for a meal. The service was outstanding—friendly and attentive. Shout out to Michael, Troy and Shaun! They were amazing!! Now, let’s talk about the food. Everything was delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. I started with the wedge salad, while my friend opted for the Caesar salad. The croutons were absolutely AMAZING—you could really taste that they were house-made! For my main course, we shared the ribs, and they were fall-off-the-bone tender. The next day, I couldn't resist going back for lunch and had the blackened chicken pasta and the wedge salad (yes again), which was packed with flavor. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I would rate it a perfect 10/10. Can’t wait to return!

Our waiter James was outstanding. Said he was new but did great. They all work together to keep drinks filled and maintain great service. Quiet atmosphere, was busy but you couldn't tell. Food was amazing. We have the fillet dinners, and a cowboy salad, with the cornbread to start. Must. Have. All!!Also, guys.....see the last pic (iykyk)

Traveling from out of town and took a nice walk here from my hotel (only a block). When I arrived, there appeared to be a wait for table seating, but since I was by myself, I opted for bar seating. There were 3 bartenders, who all introduced themselves while one asked what I was drinking, about as quickly as I ordered a glass of wine it arrived. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken, kale, quinoa, avocado, and artichokes. A flavor infusion of fresh ingredients, I throughly enjoyed! Would highly recommend! I would love to go back and try other things on the menu as well. On another note, it seems like a “local” spot that perhaps has regulars who pop in. The bartenders seemed to know many of the patrons and again were as equally friendly with those they knew to those they did not.

This was my very first visit to 131 Main. I have a friend that swears by this restaurant. When she asked where I’d like to eat for my birthday, I said let’s try it! I happen to be a top Google contributor. Not going to lie, I’m spoiled by food establishments. What I notice right away is how everyone I encountered at 131 Main seems to want to make our visit exceptional. Our server Shane was top notch! He took amazing care of us! He kept on checking to see if we needed anything else. He is super attentive! I tried & loved the corn bread brought out in a cast iron skillet, and the Double Dip fire roasted pepper dip, guacamole, salsa, & tortilla chips was fresh tasting & good. My friend had the Ahi tuna salad, and I tasted and it was really amazing. I went with the cannon sandwich and I wasn’t too excited over it, I would highly recommend the chef look into actually serving it hot or perhaps toasted. I was honestly jealous that I didn’t have that Ahi Tuna salad. I read that they offer boat to table seafood & everything is made from scratch daily. I may have to return to try more off the menu. Special shout out to Krista who kindly visited our table to say hello! Thank you for the banana cream pie birthday treat, y’all! It was delish! Bon appetit 🍴 Josephine Local Guide

131 Main in the South Park area is easily one of my go to spots when I'm in the mood for consistently great food and a comfortable upscale vibe. I recently had cheeseburger and it was excellent -juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. But honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. I've also tried their filet mignon, crab cake, Thai salad, and smoked salmon and each one impressed me. Service is always attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between relaxed and refined. Highly recommend!

Our family loves 131 Main. The food is reasonably priced, high quality and the service attentive. The place is always busy, in fact, it could be larger as we cannot always get a reservation! The parking could be easier, and it takes some driving to find the large public lot to the left of the restaurant. If you want to get a table be sure to call far in advance.

131 MAIN is perfection. It reminds me of a better Houston's or Hillstone; if anyone is familiar with those restaurants. The menu is very reminiscent of those restaurants but the quality at 131 MAIN is WAY better. We recently took my in laws and mom there on a Sunday for a family lunch/brunch. Now they don't have an actual brunch menu, but I opted to have shrimp and grits with a dirty martini. BEFORE YALL COME FOR ME, MARTINI AT BRUNCH IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA, OKAY LOL. Probably top three shrimp and grits I've ever had. The tasso ham compliments it so well that I asked for extra! I've also been here quite a bit during the holiday season after shopping at Southpark and just wanted to treat myself. The filet was CHEFS KISS. The ambiance is nice if you want to embark on a solo visit at the bar. The staff is friendly as well. They do have a front and back waiter, so you never feel neglected. The food runners also stopped by to pre-bus and clear anything out of our way. We really enjoy 131! Does not disappoint!

131 Main is one of my favorite spots, and every visit reminds me why. The ambiance is warm and cozy with an elegant, upscale aesthetic that makes you feel relaxed and welcomed the moment you walk in. On my most recent visit, I had the salmon--and it absolutely won me over. The flavor was incredible, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. It definitely won't be my last time ordering it! And let's talk about the smoked salmon appetizer--my family and I can't visit without getting it. It's that good. Rich, flavorful, and absolutely worthy of the hype. Great food, amazing atmosphere, and consistently excellent service. 131 Main never disappoints!

I've always heard of this restaurant over the years but had never been. When my friend suggested it for a celebratory lunch I obliged. The hostess acknowledged the celebration on check in. I enjoyed the candlelight atmosphere, and relaxed lighting. The service was great with frequent check ins, and detailed review of the menu, and hidden menu items . We devoured the deviled eggs so quick I couldn't snap a pic. I got the chef special Halibut with crab sauce which was perfectly cooked. My friend had the Caesar salad with steak. The complimentary dessert for the celebration was a nice touch. I definitely see plenty worth trying on the menu. Will definitely be back!

I had a hard time deciding on the number here... I wish I could have rated 3.5 stars to be more accurate? Many years ago, I used to go to 131 Main in Blakeney frequently since it was my ex-friend's favorite restaurant. I remember liking the restaurant, but not quite loving it. Anyway, guess I got bored with their foods in that I haven't returned in years. Fast forward to now, and I felt that my husband would like the place, so thought I'd give this newer (?) South Park location a try. The place itself looked quite nice. Usually I prefer high ceilings, but this place with its low ceiling (yet very, very spacious!) had this cool, underground vibe. The thing that was greatly lacking in ambiance was the overhead music was playing so low that you could barely hear it. Yet you could hear every little thing said by folks around us. Somewhat created a crude ambiance...not "nice" at all! Then the menu...surprisingly very small, with only a handful of options. I could be wrong, but I thought they had an extensive menu long time ago? Anyway, they did have a few appetizing items. My husband decided on Rotisserie Chicken, and I got their Blackened Chicken Pasta. We also added this special side of the day, this sweet curry corn. We also tried their Key Lime Pie. Well, we both thought the entrees were good (though I thought my dish was a tad too thick and greasy in its cream sauce?), and the corn was especially delish...but the key lime pie was really, really bad (the only good part was the graham crackers). Some disappointments definitely included the presentation. Basically the foods looked as if they were just slapped unto the plates, with no effort made in presentation. Also, despite the hefty pricing, they didn't even offer complimentary bread. For these reasons, I can't drop 4 stars. BTW, I tried Aperol Spritz for the first time, and absolutely loved it!! This is where I wanted to go up half stars (to a 3.5 rating!). Service was very friendly, and did fine overall. However, the place was so big, the waitresses were hard to spot (vice versa), so just a tad less attentive than it could have been. Just as in the distant past, I liked, but didn't quite love the place and its foods. I remember thinking that it was very similar to Firebirds. We may try the new Firebirds in South Charlotte soon, and see how they compare. Though not blown over, we DID like the foods enough to return. Hopefully next time, the ambiance and presentation improves at least...so I can bump them up to 4 stars.

The food was delicious as it always is. Our server Haley was fantastic. She recommended the appetizer that was so good, and the bottle of wine that was perfect!! We enjoyed every bite of our pie, thank you Haley. You made our Anniversary very special

We arrived for our 7pm reservation and were promptly seated. Amanda was our sever. She was kind enough. Alright, let's dive in.... One thing I didn't particularly care for was that my entree came with fries (crab cakes). I asked if I could possibly get a 1/2 portion of shrimp and grits. Not an option. I was offered shrimp and grits with a single crab cake on the side. I wanted the two crab cakes--- the only option was the shrmp and grits with a $44 up charge. No thank you. Glancing down the menu, I noticed there were white cheddar grits. I requested that in lieu of the fries and wondered why that not offered as a "compromise" of sorts...I digress. The crab cakes were ok. Sort of wished that I did do the shrimp and grits with a crab cake on the side. There is a crunchy top layer that I am not accustomed to nor was not fond of. The grits are good. They got even better with a sprinkle of the truffle salt I keep in my bag *wink*. All in all, my meal was meh. The ambiance was nice and dimly light which made it very comfortable and perhaps cozy for those on a date night. I actually would recommend this spot for date night. Although my first impression was not the greatest meal-wise. My son enjoyed his meal immensely (filet with fries instead of the smashed red potatoes). I must say that I give a chefs kiss to whomever cooked the filet. It was spot on! Absolute perfection! 131 is worth a return visit, and I will.

I went here for a birthday dinner and it was a really pleasant experience. The spot was dimly lit which helped give that expensive vibe, but it wasn't so dark that you couldn't see each other or the menu. Our waitress Kat was absolutely kind and made our experience amazing by being down to earth and funny while giving us GREAT recommendations. We had the smoked salmon appetizer along with the cornbread and let me tell you--that cornbread will change lives. That was the best thing I had while I was there. Followed closely by my main entree: shrimp and grits. If you get this, get the shrimp blackened, it adds so much flavor and will leave your mouth watering. All in all, the only reason I took off 1 star is just because the experience itself wasn't like top notch fancy fancy, but this was still such a cool experience that I would recommend for anyone!

We had a great experience!!! I love the ambiance, it's dark lit but small lamps at each table so it isn't too dark. Perfect for date night but also not too romantic so it's also good for a group/work dinner. The menu is very diverse with things from pasta, to fish, to ribs to chicken etc. everything we got was delicious!! They even have several options for dessert that were splitting size. We got the banana cream pie and it was really good- not too banana at all. The ribs also came with wet towels- a very nice touch! The portion sizes were all huge and we all got to go boxes. The best part was the service. The waiters were very attentive and seemed to genuinely care. They were also very knowledgeable on the specials and the menu. They were personable as well. When getting a to go box, they boxed it up for us but made sure to write what was inside on the box. I also loved that the to go boxes were paper- not plastic or styrofoam which most are but is so bad for you. The food also came out quickly. I would definitely go back.

Recent went during a business trip and the service was on point and we were well taken of. Everything was cooked perfectly, considering the variety of dishes we ordered. The marinated ribeye was great, cooked to medium rare, and tender. The place was well-maintained and clean.

Took my husband here for his birthday and it did not disappoint! Our Server, Kat, was amazing and recommend some appetizers. We decided to try the Smoke Salmon and the Cast Iron Corn Bread. The Smoked Salmon was amazing- if you like medium cooked salmon and the Cast Iron Corn Bread was AMAZING! It had a hint of spice to it yet was sweet. We then got the Maryland Crab Cakes & Southern Shrimp & Grits. My Crab cakes were full of crab so definitely a good choice. My husband's Shrimp & Grits were super flavorful. The ambiance was intimate, business causal wear, efficient, and cozy. Defintely would come back again.

It's a nice restaurant located in the South Park area. You can park in the front or the back of the restaurant. Plenty parking available. Staff were friendly. I was immediately greeted when entering. Staff checked on us frequently while dining. The food was good. The texture taste was great. The prices were a little higher end.. the establishment was clean and the decor was nice. I hope you enjoy your experience as much as I enjo

131 Main Service - 9.0 They are consistently attentive and helpful with a team approach to service. Ambiance - 8.0 This is more my fault. It's dark and subdued. Like an old money fine dining spot or a date night for a proposal. I was with my adult kids, so it was a bit formal for our tastes. Food - 8.5 On point, as usual. Crab cakes - all meat, no filler with a delicious mustard sauce Grilled artichokes - simple but perfect. I never miss an opportunity to order them. The wood fire grill gives them that little something extra. Thai Steak Salad - another yummy reliable choice just the righy blend of char, sweet, crunch, and herbal notes. All on top pf perfectly cooked noodles. The only version i like better is Houstons in Atlanta Baby back ribs - good sauce and fall off the bone tender. My little Oklahoman heart shed a little tear of gratitude. French dip - Good with great fries. It was what it was. Crème Brûlée - yummy custard but the sugar wasn't quite flambéd enough so the sugar was more gritty than crispy in spots. Overall 8.8 This is a reliable staple in my rotation. I would definitely go back and recommend other give it a try. Note: we were so busy eating we forgot a lot of pics. Sorry.

Have been going to 131 Main for over 10 years- I do prefer the Blakeny location in terms of staff service, but consistency is what they are good at so any location works. I love their cocktails and how everything is fresh, NEVER frozen. Dark ambience, very romantic setting.

Great restaurant to take the parents for an upscale experience. The music is jazz, the lighting is low, and temperature is just right. Service is courteous and professional at all times. They utilize front and back waiters so that means you'll have multiple visitors at the table, and that's a good thing. The only issue is parking. On a busier night, this will be quite the task. Menu options are solid. Nothing on the forefront of the culinary world but that's not a bad thing either. You'll be familiar with the wording so that means you'll be familiar with the flavors. The Blackened Chicken Pasta is my go-to. The double cut pork chop is another winner. Reservations suggested...

We celebrated our 34th anniversary with a very enjoyable dinner at 131 Main. Our main server was lovely Jessica, and she was so kind and professional. Our meal was outstanding. You must try the cornbread as a starter. It had an amazing flavor! I had steak medallions (they were large) on a bed of mashed potatoes, and my husband had an enormous pork chop. Our meat selections were cooked perfectly and with so much flavor. Save room for dessert and try the key lime pie. We had a wonderful experience and really liked the restaurant very much.

You may need a flashlight to help you view the menu, but the food is worth dining for. The crab cakes are my favorite entree. I love the view of chefs preparing each meal to order. I did not enjoy the Caesar salad, but the fish tacos made up for the hiccup. Service was average, and the women's restroom was clean. I will return again soon...Let's goo!

We'd been told to go to 131 Main several times and finally made it! From the moment you enter, you know you're going to have a great customer service experience. Being greeted at the door and all the way to your table by servers is the ultimate demo of what the meal will be. For starters, we got the Cast Iron Corn Bread and a half order of the Double Dip. That corn bread, I could order that and do a drive by to pick up once a week. Outs a great thing they're in South Park and not on my way to work. It's perfectly balanced with jack, cheddar and green chilies. The Double Dip is the same. Deliciously paired fire roasted pepper dip, guacamole and salsa that is a perfect starter. I wanted the Cobb salad but wanted steak. I was able to sub the chicken out for the Thai steak and it was delicious. A nice sized portion of steak and salad, fresh and crisp, absolutely delicious. My husband got the Prime Rib sandwich and said he would definitely order again. I look forward to visiting again and again, for the corn bread and to try all of the other items on the menu. Our server was attentive and professional. We had a great time!

It's been a few years since I've eaten here and it did not disappoint as usual. There was a 40 min wait but luckily a couple leaving the bar area offered their seats, table was cleaned, and we were greeted immediately! The Cosmopolitan, Dirty Tito, and Classic Margaritas were delicious! I had the Blackened Salmon w/ Asparagus which was So good. I will be back soon!

One of my absolutely favorite spots to grab dinner or lunch. Service is always top notch with a team approach. Never had a bad server! Now for the food, if I had to ding them on anything it would be the app choices, not a very good offering but all other entrees and desserts are just phenomenal. The steaks and fish are fresh and cooked perfectly. The kale and quinoa side is my fav. And save room for the banana pie!

I am from Maryland but let me tell you this restaurant alone was almost enough to make me wanna relocate to Charlotte! It was a nice restaurant right by my hotel and also right by the mall and plenty of shopping, so the area alone is awesome. Now for the food, each and every single dish we got was delectable, drinks were also good and the dessert was amazing. This spot will now be a staple whenever I come to Charlotte.

Located in Southpark, North Carolina, 131 Main, I was hungry and walking so I ducked in. This spot has a rustic charm ambience with big wood beams and leather booths. I had the Tuna Tartare Tower and Crab Cake Salad. The tuna was grade A tuna and the crab cake was lump crab. Both delicious. What stood out was the impeccable service provided by the knowledgeable hostess, who effortlessly recited the specials from memory. It was impressive. Some more highlights include patio firepits and an open kitchen to watch all the action. Great dining experience.

Celebrated my 30th there last night. Service was great, we were sat on time of reservation, the trainee that introduced did great, and the Chase who took over was great (PS: I manage in hospitality and am very judgey, usually reserving yelp reviews for worst of the worst experiences...) Very appreciative of him sending in my little guys food so he could eat early. We love the tuna stack, and cannot go wrong with the filet MR (always cooked right)! I've been here numerous times, and it's tried and true great food and service, and just overall very modern and inviting, with big booths that feel secluded for your smaller groups.

Went here last week for our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. We did place a reservation ahead of time and they were super nice and friendly throughout the night, they even got us a table towards the back for a little privacy. The staff went above and beyond. Now, for the fireworks....the food was 20/10. Absolutely delicious. I went with the blackened chicken pasta and it was some of the best pasta I've had in Charlotte! My wife had the filet Migon w/ the crab cake and mash potatoes and it was cooked perfectly, hats off to the chef! Overall I highly recommend this wonderful place and go taste this food. 10 stars Also: had deviled eggs and they was delicious. I'm very picky with those and I was very satisfied

Nice place to get food at for lunch! Wide variety on the menu and you can choose something on the lower priced side or higher depending on how you want to dine. I went with a coworker and we got the Green Chile Cornbread with Cheddar cheese. It was delicious, not spicy and very filling. I definitely had leftovers. We also got the cheeseburger which overall was a good burger and a great size. The French fries I was told were really good as well. It was busy when we went but overall quiet. Darker lighting even midday. Service was pretty good although we had to ask for a water refill. I'd recommend it.

This restaurant is right across the street from where I'm staying and super convenient to stop in for a quick bite or something to go. I've gotten the top chop salad several times but branched out tonight and got the Thai steak salad. I have to say that while I think there could have been a little more (based on a $28 salad) and sadly it only had 4 small pieces of steak. However, I have to say it may have been one of the best salads I've had. The dressing and textures were amazing as well as the flavors. Not sure I can ever order anything else from here because I loved it so much!

Good overall, but (1) ordered a Beck's NA and got a Heineken, (2) highly touted mushroom and artichoke soup was meh. Corn bread is special. That steak salad meat was scrumpuous, as was rare tuna. Wait staff was polite and attentive.

First restaurant to celebrate my 50th birthday at ! I have. Always loved 131 MAIN! Their service is always exceptional as well as their food. My only suggestion is why ask what anyone is celebrating if you as a restaurant don't go out of your way(such as places like Fahrenheit) to make people feel special / I was even wearing a top that "stated" birthday girl and I had to point when the waitress asked if we were celebrating anything special.. had I not ordered a dessert (paid for it) i would not have received any different service . Just curious @131 MAIN why waste your own time asking ppl . If you want to BE celebrated or expect to by this establishment don't go.

This my second time dining here, with the other rime being during lunch, and I really like this place. The standard menu is always available amd they have daily specials that the staff will explain to you when you are seated. The staff are very friendly and service is faster than expected with the place being as full as it is. The food is expertly prepared and tastes oh so good. I highly recommend making a reservation on their website in advance so you can be seated at the time of your choosing.

Love it when an old faithful place still delivers. Terrific service! Went here for "happy hour" and it was packed! Was lucky to get a table in the bar area. Love the ambiance and decor. Warm and sophisticated but not pretentious. I opted for the crab cake, Brussels sprouts (daily special), and swapped out my fries for their somehow sinful kale & quinoa salad. Sounds healthy. Looks healthy. Taste so goooood. Must. Order. Trust me. Since I was with a friend, we got the warm chocolate brownie à la mode with nuts for dessert. Oh. Em. Gee. Huge portion. Rich and decadent. I could have face planted right into that dish! Good thing I had a somewhat light entree. So busy eating, I only snapped 2 pics. I'll do better next time, people.

A reliable restaurant experience every time. The open kitchen sets the tone for the entire dining room. There is something for everyone on their extensive menu and pay attention to their specials. During our latest visit, Alaskan halibut was a featured item and it was outstanding. As was the banana cream pie. The servers work as a team and they are attentive, without being intrusive. It is a little pricey, but we'll worth every bite! Celebrate a special occasion and enjoy.

From the onset, my dining experience was enhanced by the friendliness of the staff and the ambience of the restaurant. In addition to the promptness of the service and the deliciousness of the food, the server, Darell, was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my dining needs. I highly recommend 131 Main on Fairview Road and be sure to ask for Darell! Bon Appetit!

This place is a must try - walked in and was instantly greeted. The vibes were so fun!! The place was super chill and was dim lighting but enough to still see.

Would definitely try another dish here soon!! Highly recommend

Lived in Pasadena, CA for five years and frequented a Hillstone Restaurant, Houstons. This menu is very similar so decided to give it a try. It is so much like Houstons. Loved the service levels from the hostess to the teamwork among all of the servers. Food was perfect. Look forward to trying out the bar area next.

Came for lunch. Smoked salmon dip with capers was great French dip was very good more meat than most but mom's Thai noodles and steak had really nice flavor Crème brûlée was delightful. The best part was the service. Several people paying a lot of attention and our waitress Ray was very friendly and helpful. We will be taking our friends here

@131_main in Charlotte my drink of the night was a French 75 . I wanted to try to shrimp and grits, but they were out of grits. Our reservation was at 8:45. I'm guessing the grits was a popular item that day. So I just went with a burger and fries to be safe. I would go back at a different time to ensure that everything's available. The ambience and the customer service is great

131 is amazing. I had gone on Valentines day with my best friend. It was hard to get a reservation, but we knew that would be the case. We ordered the salmon, and had it cooked to the servers suggestion. So glad we did because it was sooo good, not dry or anything, and retained amazing flavor. We usually got for the marinated steak, which is always a staple. Im not a red meat eater, but this is the ONLY place, I'll ever order a steak from. One day I ordered a steak and it was accidentally overcooked. The manager immediately came over, apologized, and replaced it, no issues whatsoever. The service is amazing and all of the servers are very knowledgable about the menu. I HIGHLY recommend the deviled eggs. They come in 2 and 4 count, but once you taste them, it's never enough! The cornbread is flavorful and the chili is great! Cant say enough great things about this place! The ambiance is very calming and relaxing as well. Keep up the great work yall!

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Charlotte! We like the vibe at this location better! The food was delicious! We had the cast iron corn bread for a starter along with the mushroom and artichoke soup! The soup was absolutely amazing! It was cooked just right and had lots of flavor! For our entrees, we had the blackened chicken pasta and the Maryland style crab cakes. Everything was extremely tasty and filling! Our server, Julia, was very sweet, knowledgeable, and attentive. She also gave us the strawberry shortcake dessert, on them, for our anniversary! We look forward to our next dining experience at the 131!

Always a great experience at 131 Main! I've eaten at both Fairview Road and also the Rea Road and both are great!
