Caswell Station

Phenomenal Brunch Spot with Great Food, Drinks & Service! — If you’re looking for a fantastic brunch spot for Sunday—or honestly any day—Caswell Station is it! You seriously won’t be disappointed. The atmosphere is vibrant but relaxed, the staff is super friendly, and the food and drinks are on point. I visited on Sunday around 12 PM, and our waitress Katie was phenomenal! She checked in with us often, explained the drink and food menu clearly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. For food, I ordered the Caswell Breakfast Burger with a side of hash browns, plus the Shigh Hi Calamari as an appetizer. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right—the crispy hash browns paired with it perfectly. The calamari had a generous portion, with both ring and tentacle pieces, and came topped with a flavorful chili glaze—so good! I also tried the Honey Glazed Chicken Sandwich with French fries. The sandwich was delicious and the fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and came in a good portion. I do wish I had a bit more hash browns, but overall everything was tasty and satisfying. Now let’s talk drinks—$5 mimosas are a steal, and one glass is plenty! I also tried their mimosa with tequila ($12) and it was excellent. They offer different mimosa flavors, too, which is a nice bonus. Heads up on parking: they have a parking lot behind the building, so don’t park in the garage across the street unless necessary. That garage charges after the first 15 minutes ($5 for every additional 15 minutes). Stick to the lot behind if you can! Also, gratuity may be added to your bill depending on your party size—it wasn’t added to mine, so just double-check when paying. I believe the manager or owner—Hash—also came by to check in on our table and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s clear they care about creating a great experience for their guests. Highly recommend for an affordable, fun, and flavorful brunch. I’ll definitely be back!

Excellent service! We had the best time with my mom and hubby. They brought a heater near our table , then we're able to put us at a table with a heater nearby. Service was excellent and food delicious!! Will be back. Highly recommend.

First time checkin the place out. Parking is very limited. Brunch and regular menu is huge which is a +++++++++! The food was great as far as what we ordered this time. I will have to add the grits did not do it for me but I’m not gonna let that stop me from goin again! Overall the food was a 7/10 good / fast service.

Stopped in for lunch with a friend and had a typical bar food meal. We ordered fried pickles that were delicious, a chicken flatbread with the chicken being very dry, leaving a lot to be desired, and the fried tomato BLT, which my friend said was very good! The service is the most redeeming quality. Even on a packed Saturday, our server was incredible and made sure to check in us constantly. She was also so sweet. The atmosphere was lacking a little by how many children were running around and screaming, but the amount of outside seating was wonderful. Overall, it was a not terribly exciting meal, but perfect for the casual Saturday.

It was my first time trying this restaurant out after reading about their amazing patio experience. I would say it would of been even better if the outside bar was open but it was still a really awesome atmosphere. The fans were on point. Also on Friday’s they have $6 drinks. Cocktail were amazing especially there seasonal Mule - which was pineapple. The Tatchos are a staple. The fried pickles were excellent and I loved that you could get your wings chargrilled! The fish of the day Taco which happened to be grouper was phenomenal. I definitely will be returning to try more items on the menu! I’ve been back a few times now, never disappoints! 3/31/23 - the food was great as always unfortunately our waiter was unfriendly and not attentive.

Emily was a top notch server. The bouncer was on his A game. The seafood stuffed mushrooms and spinach dip was fabulous. However a couple staff members thought it was ok to boguard menus like it was a state secret. Next time make sure the table isn't next to the host stand and also works in the industry. Also dont grab the beverage menus and try to make up for it when there's empty tables and the food menus are still visible on the host stand. 😘

the food was great! got the totchos and three different tacos— the street corn taco was fantastic! everything was delicious! it was a really busy night and our server was super apologetic for the slower service, but it was a comfortable night out on the patio so we weren’t too concerned. i’ll be back!

Food was really good. Cheesesteak eggrolls definitely taste like hamburger meat but nevertheless still good. Getting the charred wings was worth the up charge. The salmon and spinach and rice was fulfilling. Buffalo shrimp tastes like dipped in redhot hot sauce and the fries taste like fresh cut potatoes. Will be ordering from here again.

The food here is fantastic, and it's the perfect spot for watching games! With plenty of TVs around, the atmosphere was lively and everyone was having a great time. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which was ideal for us since we brought our two dogs while visiting the CLT area--I absolutely loved that! The menu offered a wide variety of options, and we were thrilled with our choices. We started with the dip trio, featuring hummus, tzatziki, and a delicious spinach and artichoke dip. I ordered a shrimp avocado salad that was fresh and flavorful, while my husband enjoyed a smash burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was delightful! Our server was incredibly kind--she even brought out a large water bowl and some treats for our pups, which made our experience even more special. We left feeling completely satisfied and would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

The food was excellent! Best burger (Caswell Burger), I've had in a long time. Loved the onion rings as well. We wanted for nothing thanks to our server, Katie M. Prices were reasonable too. I would highly recommend Caswell Station.

This place has been a staple all 16 years of my charlotte life. Thankful that Caswell Station continues to improve their service and food quality. You can't be the price for the location, one of the best patios in charlotte. Stopped in for brunch and with $5 bloody Mary's and a $16 skillet, it's a great deal. I was able to get 2 meals out of it, that salad that was included was a nice touch. The flavor of the steak was fabulous. Note they did add tip to the check, but was honestly okay with that if it's a way to ensure great service!

We come here occasionally for cheap, mediocre food. I ordered a Belvedere martini, my usual drink. It tasted very odd, like it had a flavoring,which Belvedere does not have. The server was nice enough to make it again but it tasted the same and was undrinkable. I switched to Grey Goose, and it was fine. When I went to pay, I was charged for one of the Belvedere martini's. When I protested, the manager insisted I pay for a drink I could not drink. And would not drink, because it tasted off! I won't risk eating here again.

Stopped by here on Sunday for a quick brunch. Neither of us had been here before but it had been on our list of restaurants to try. We sat outside which was very cute. My only complaint about the patio was that there were a few flies which is not very pleasant to have around while eating. The food was great and the service was too. We started with the brussel sprouts which were delicious! Both of us enjoyed our brunch entrees as well. Yes they automatically added the 20% gratuity to the bill but that's not a problem. Servers should get atleast 20% if the experience is great and that's what we had!

This restaurant has been around for a while and is pretty popular. They offer a brunch and lunch/dinner menu. The staff is friendly and the food is pretty good. I attended today after an event and they accommodated our large group upstairs which was appreciated. The restrooms are gender neutral and we entered at opening. There was no soap in the dispenser. That was very disappointing. Maybe they were just having a bad day.

Food was really good. Cheesesteak eggrolls definitely taste like hamburger meat but nevertheless still good. Getting the charred wings was worth the up charge. The salmon and spinach and rice was fulfilling. Buffalo shrimp tastes like dipped in redhot hot sauce and the fries taste like fresh cut potatoes. More elegant looking than expected was a good vibe and definitely some good food. Food was done fairly wuicklyWill be ordering from here again.

Nice patio seating outside, came here on a weekday after work. Food was good, the outdoor vibe was the best part. Service was good too! A cute spot in Plaza.

Automatic 20% added to all checks regardless of the size of your table. I won't be back.

The service at Caswell is impeccable. The bar tenders are highly trained and very friendly and accommodating. I recommend Caswell Station to anyone who loves sports and camaraderie.

Solid bar food. Decent sized flatbread cut into six pieces. Service was pretty quick and friendly despite large crowd due to March madness. The flatbread had large chunks of chicken on it, good bit of sauce. It was good, but I'll try something different next time. Still recommended.

The food, service and environment were good. I look forward to trying other menu items.

Go here frequently for girls nights. The atmosphere is casual and friendly - more than bar food, less than date night. Monday nights is $6 wine night - and I'm fry now so didn't partake. Got the pork chops ($16) and was served two huge pieces of pork, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. A mustard based bbq sauce accompanied and everything was delicious!!! Music was slightly loud and we asked the server if they could turn it down. They do have music bingo, a great brunch, and nightly specials. Parking can be a pain as the parking lot is small. They have a patio with outdoor bar and a lawn area with picnic tables. Dog friendly as well!

I'm so confused about the mixed reviews for this neighborhood staple . I love Caswell on the weekends and during football season . Mackenzie is my fave server she never fails to please . Amanda is my fave bartender . Yes the grat is added which is fine with me bc I don't have to fig it out and they have great service . Food great love the shrimp wrap that's my go to and any salad is always huge !

Claims to be a sports bar and will show zero sports. Prime time football game only on two tvs in the whole place

Love this please. The food and service is always great. The have specials for each day. And they have a trivia night! Love the outdoor seating area.

I originally planned to give this place 5 stars....the food was good! There were promoters for a radio station giving out a free beer. It was our first time so we ordered quite a few things. Our server Stephanie was kind & attentive. BUT RANDOMLY CHARGING GRATUITY AND NOT TELLING YOUR CUSTOMERS, NOT LISTING IT ON YOUR WEBSITE, OR MENU IS RIDICULOUS (management, not Stephanie, again, she was great!). Especially when I saw a Facebook review after the fact that someone was charged 25% for 2 people about 2 weeks ago (a surprise to them as well) & I was only charged 20% for 2 people today 7/1/24 pretty sketchy. I'm not sure if they liked us, didn't like the other people, only charge for people eating in the restaurant, charge more for to-go orders, or just close their eyes & select a percentage. Maybe they lowered it after complaints? I don't know. The food was so good we took pictures throughout our meal & planed to leave a nice review & bring friends/family....but who knows what random % they'll charge with more than 2 people. That being said, our only food based complaint was ironically the ambiguity of the menu. I can't tell you what all was in the cheesesteak egg roll (it didn't come with the same ingredients as the Philly cheesesteak unless the other ingredients were puréed), there wasn't a way to know that the fries came with Cajun seasoning (they tasted like fries from Cookout ... not bad ... but not what I was expecting because it didn't state that...& from a place with an automatic gratuity I definitely would expect better quality), & they don't allow substitutions for the sampler appetizer so unless you want chicken with a side of chicken, tater tots with RIBS, GRAVY, & EGG ON TOP (what an odd combination), etc. you're out of luck. If you have allergies or food sensitivities be sure to do a thorough run down with your waitress! The only thing I would NOT recommend from what we had were the fries. We had a cash tip to leave bc I like to make sure the server gets it automatically especially for good service...but I have no idea how they divvy up the automatic secret gratuity. For a bar & grill restaurant, with bar & grill food, & bar & grill decor you can find better price, parking, & transparency elsewhere.

Looked packed so we went in .. not sure why it was busy . Food was gross place was yuk . Not a fan ! Gratuity added so double check that bill .

Tried Caswell Station on the recommendation of a friend and we are so happy they recommended this place to us. It was a little difficult to find because it sits right on the corner of E 7th and N. Caswell, but with one minor turnaround, we were able to find it. We were greeted by the hostess, who ended up being our waitress as well. She was very sweet and helpful. We placed our drink order and a starter of French Onion Soup and then she returned for our main order. The food came out pretty fast and exactly how we ordered it. Everything we had was very good. The atmosphere is pretty casual inside as well as outside on the large patio. The menu has a lot of options and I 100% recommend you give them a try.

Went to Caswell Station again on Saturday for lunch and I was a bit disappointed. The food was great but we were sat and a waitress didn't come to help us for almost 20 minutes. We noticed another table who were sat after us already receiving their drinks and appetizers. I had to go inside to ask for a server to come help us out. I love this neighborhood spot but more attention should be paid when people have been sat.

We went to watch football on a Sunday. They had multiple games on different TV's and the sound was on for the panthers game. They had mimosa specials and more juices than just orange juice for the mimosas. The food is your average bar food, pretty good!! They had a brunch menu as well. The menu was sticky and the service was very slow but it seemed like there was just one waitress for the entire inside of the restaurant, so not her fault. They did add 20% gratuity on our bill without telling us or having it posted anywhere. They have outdoor seating with TVs as well and is dog friendly.

Stopped into Caswells to watch the NC state game and had a great time! There's plenty of parking around the building and tons of seating options both inside and outside with plenty of TVs. We grabbed a big table in the back, hung out, grabbed some drinks, and had some dinner! They had a bunch of yummy drinks to pick from and their sliders were SO yummy. I would definitely recommend them or trying out a burger!

I went here with my mom and her coworkers after the 5k colon cancer awareness walk We made reservations for our party prior to, and were served quickly upon arrival. We ordered drinks were very good! We were seated outside due to the size of our party but the environment was very relaxing and beautiful. They have a wide outdoor space for different parties to have their own space and privacy. They have TVs for the games and different types of tables for outdoor seating. The inside was nice as well with the bar and different seating areas. I would come back for the drinks and outdoor seating environment. We had some complications with the orders being incorrect but the overall experience was nice and the food was brought out quickly.

I've had Caswell Station bookmarked for over a year and was so glad to finally try them out. Unfortunately, I left out extremely disappointed. But I'll start with the good. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. When we walked in, the host helped us find a table that would be suitable for our party since we had someone in a wheelchair. Throughout our meal, the waitress was very kind and attentive. Now what disappointed me? Nearly everything else. Food was very underwhelming. We got the dip trio and it wasn't good. The spinach queso had an odd flavor to it, and the Buffalo chicken dip was straight out of a cooler or refrigerator. The pasta was mediocre. The bread tasted like it was soaked in butter for 24hrs and topped off with salt. The salmon was flavored well, but it was hard. Then we ended up being overcharged for our meal & had to show the waitress the prices in the menu. Lastly, it would've been nice to know that 20% gratuity was going to be added to the checks just because it's the weekend. We had 4 adults and 1 child, so added gratuity was a bit of a surprise.

We love Caswell Station! A great neighborhood bar with an awesome outside deck. The food is consistently good - could use a little mayo on the sandwiches and such but still good American fare! Highly recommend for watching a game or trivia! Or just a great outdoor evening!

This place is great! Awesome spot to watch some football. The food is great too. They have plenty of parking in the back. Lots of tables. Even a room upstairs for private events. I can't wait to go back!

So my foodie friends love Caswell, so it was only right that I invite my good friend here for lunch. She's never been before but needless to say she enjoyed her experience. I swear the food is soo freakin good and the prices are super reasonable. Once we arrived, we decided to sit on the deck . Our waiter was prompt and continued to check on us ( forgot his name but he was cool ). This time I ordered the chicken melt and it was very filling. When I came during burger week, I ordered the pimento burger and I had no complaints. As far as the exterior of the building, it looks like a house as opposed to a normal restaurant building but I enjoy the aesthetic. Also they have some free parking spots available too. I'll be back for brunch !!

Caswell Station is one of my favorite local spots. The customer service is really good. They're usually super fast with bringing out food. The brunch isnt super great but the rest of the menu makes up for it. I recommend the wings and Philly Egg rolls

Tried this spot for the first time tonight and was not a fan. Caswell Station is located in the heart of Elizabeth and looked quite inviting. The food is over priced and sub par. We got the nachos, which were decent at best. Philly cheesesteak rolls were SO salty and the dipping sauce did not compliment the flavor at all. My charred wings were dry and stringy. My partner did love the nachos and avocado bacon chicken wrap. Needless to say this was a one and done kind of spot.

After frequently visiting this restaurant for three years, our patronage has come to an end due to a lack of professionalism and accountability from the management. I brought my family along after attending a concert the previous night. During the visit, one of our guests ordered a Greek salad and specifically requested no feta. Despite the extended wait caused by the limited staff struggling to meet the guests' demands, we informed our server about the salad issue. The server, who was handling a large party and three other tables on the patio, summoned the manager to our table. The manager's immediate response, blaming our guest for not being aware that the dressing contained feta, was unprofessional. Instead of addressing the minor issue with the salad, we decided to request our check as the manager escalated the situation into a shouting match. We had to ask for water and boxes a second time, having waited over 18 minutes upon arrival without receiving any water. The manager went so far as to remove my salad, which I had hardly touched, and discarded it. When we mentioned this to the manager, he deflected responsibility, making the issue about who moved the plate from the table. The discrepancy was evident since we were short one bowl after ordering four entree salads. As someone who has successfully managed food service establishments for seven years, it's incredibly disappointing to encounter key holders who lack the qualities of true leaders. Instead of listening and understanding, they respond defensively. I anticipate taking this matter to the proper channels, including the Better Business Bureau (BBB), as it's disheartening to believe that unethical practices still persist in 2023. I strongly recommend implementing comprehensive cross-training in workplace practices and effective escalation management.

Awesome neighborhood bar! Food and service are always on point, and John, the owner makes a point of greeting the regulars by name. One of the best patios in town! My new favorite place to go watch my teams play!

Great food and an awesome outdoor atmosphere! Whether you come for brunch, a casual lunch, dinner, or late night, you can't go wrong! It's also a great gameday spot, with plenty of room and TVs inside and out. As for food, I've tried the tacos, chicken and avocado wrap, and nachos; and all were excellent! Highly recommend!

Horrible service, and they have a policy of adding 20% gratuity to the bill. So, if the wait staff sit on their butts all day, or work really hard....they know they're getting a 20% tip. What would you do? Policy is posted in a dark corner of the restaurant where you can't see it. Food is not that great either. I'm never going back. They're not stealing from me anymore.

Charges a 20% mandatory tip for a party of TWO PEOPLE without notifying customers before running your card, then proceeds to ask for an addition tip on top of the 20% on the receipt. We split the bill and they charged both of us the 20% tip for the combined total on both receipts. The customer service was terrible, the waiter practically threw the food at us and the place was completely empty. The food was sub par at best. Would not recommend.

Great local bar/restaurant with plenty of seating indoors and outdoor patio seating. Lots of TV's so probably great to watch games with friends. I was excited to try the brunch menu, but in all honesty their regular menu looked better. Food was pretty decent. My friend enjoyed her Chorizo Benedict, and my brunch burger was good, but nothing I'll be rushing back for. Hashbrowns were plain, and a small portion of them. I wish I could do like a 3.5 star review. Not bad but not great, would like to come back to try their regular menu. Service was good!

I think this is primarily a neighborhood hangout with a sports bar vibe. The menu was interesting and varied so everyone is sure to find something they would like. We got the fried green tomatoes appetizer which was tasty but super oily. (Adding a slice or two of bread to the basket to absorb the excess oil would go a long way.) For our mains we got three tacos (1 pork belly, 1 el pastor, and 1 shrimp) and a Hawaiian burger. Everything was cooked perfectly, including the side of tater tots which had fantastic crispy-crunchy outside and were not greasy or oily at all. We tried several cocktails but they were all very syrupy tasting and not that enjoyable. I do feel it's important to point out their drink menu also claims ingredients they do not even have (specifically Luxardo cherries which the Elizabeth Old Fashioned claims to come with). When we ordered an old fashioned and it came out with a maraschino cherry, we asked our server and she said that was the only kind of cherries they have had for a long time. (And the orange was most definitely not "charred" either.) So who knows what other things were missing or substituted in the drinks vs what the menu claims. All in all we left feeling it was "fine" but not a spot we would necessarily plan on returning to.

20% gratuity without disclosing it. I have been tipping 40% or more until I read the itemized bill last time.

We had the pleasure of trying this place, and I am glad we did! What a fun place! It's cozy, fun, and extremely friendly. Not to mention their food was amazing! We had the chicken nachos which I could have ate as a meal, they are delicious! The chips are perfect, they are layered with cheese and everything u crave. These will be my go to next time we go there. I had the shrimp tacos, which I loved. There flavorful and the ingredients compliment each other perfectly. And the fact I love shrimp tacos. My wife enjoyed the chicken tacos, she loved the chicken and really loved the fresh Avocado slices on them. This place is a home run and glad we went! We will be back!

After seeing a picture of a eye catching meal on a friends instagram my partner and I decided to check the place out. After driving into a packed and limited parking lot, we parked across the street at the pet store and walked to the restaurant. We came in on a noisy music bingo night. The music was good so while surprised not turned off. The menu had a hodgepodge of all kinds of bar food. My partner and I ordered the Philly egg rolls, the patty melt, Brussels, and the Elizabeth pasta. Everything was a 4/10. The egg rolls were to greasy and did not taste like a Philly cheesesteak at all. A weird but edible mix of poor quality beef and American cheese served with bang bang sauce. The patty melt was just ok. The Brussels sprouts that were served with an Asian glaze was instead soaked in a teriyaki ginger sauce. They were to salty and barely recognizable as Brussels sprouts as they were more brown than green. The pasta sauce had a nice flavor but the chicken was tough and did not match the flavor of the "Cajun cream sauce" The service was relatively quick but altogether mediocre. After asking for a manager they informed us they would relay the message as they were busy at the time. Overall the experience here was so lackluster I had to write about it. I won't be returning.

Great, casual, sports bar! Their menu is very versatile with a ton of options. The cheesesteak egg rolls were absolutely delicious, especially when dipped in the sauce! The pasta was very very good but the sauce was a tiny bit spicy. The bread that comes with the pasta was cooked to perfection and was a great addition to the pasta! They do trivia on Thursdays which is a good time, however, it can get a bit loud on those nights if you are near the speakers, which is a bit obvious. The parking situation was not ideal with very limited spots in their parking lot, however, there are other parking lots near you that is a couple minute walk to the restaurant. Service was pretty quick and very helpful.

We stopped on a Sat night and were seated right away. On this particular evening, the atmosphere was definitely a sports bar. The sound of the TV broadcast was dominant. They had a good choice of IPA's on draft. My bride ordered the Nachos with Chicken ($11) and really enjoyed it. I went with the California Chicken Flatbread ($12) and it was spot on - would absolutely order again. Service from Alyssa was excellent.

Caswell Station was a fun spot to grab drinks and food at while watching the NC State football game. We sat upstairs and alumni members were there to decorate tables and raffle off prizes. I started off with a beer and our table chose the spinach dip for an appetizer. Next it was the philly cheesesteak with tater tots for me and the breakfast burger with fries for my husband. The food was just okay, it's your typical bar type food.

Caswell Station a local mainstay Pecan and 7th. Food alway good and consistent. Great bar or outside. Paige served me today and was on point!

Our waitress was so sweet and she gave great recommendations. The brussel sprouts and the neighborhood grilled cheese was amazing! They also had great tasting house Pinot noir can't wait to go back.

Best calamari in the city!! Food and service are outstanding. I know there are plenty of choices to eat but I highly recommend Caswell Station. Parking lot is on the small side but it is 100% worth it.

Our waitress was attentive, affordable beer buckets & good food especially their totachos.

Caswell is a super fun place to go for drinks, music, and outdoor patio seating. My fiancé and I stopped by to celebrate and really enjoyed our meal. For appetizers, we got the lobster corn dogs, which I would say pass on these. There wasn't a lot of lobster meal and I definitely tasted more of the bread instead. My fiancé got Buffalo chicken flatbread which he really enjoyed. I got the pork chops with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. Again pass on the mac. It didn't have a ton of flavor and a super cheesy taste either that I was expecting. The pork chops tho were seasoned to perfection; so yummy!

BE CAREFUL: food and service is okay. THEY AUTO ADD A 20% TIP TO ALL CHECKS. No matter the party size. Thank goodness I noticed it as we were not told by our server. Next day, I mentioned this to friends and they told me that they had been here before and not noticed thus leaving tips 40%-50% of the total bill. They are not going back and the non-disclosure has me not going back either. Too many options in CLT.

Never will I ever give them another dollar! After returning the first order cause the wings were micro sized this is what we got in return! Nasty, dry,grease filled wings! This is ridiculous!! 2 orders of wings and fries for $35 and they aren't good enough for my dog!!!! DO BETTER CASWELL!!!!
