We were walking when we saw the menu and decided to try the place out. We’ve never been here before and it was a great experience! The food was amazing. Great flavor and perfectly cooked. Also just such a cute and cozy place to eat for a nice eat out. The service was really good as multiple heeded to our table. It looked like that the team helps everyone out with the restaurant and doesn’t seclude themselves individually to one area. The place is so unique and cute, definitely a great find in the Charlotte area! Would 100/10 recommend anyone to this lovely spot!

Cool spot. Clean building but musty building smell. Everyone was very friendly but the service was a little bit slower. I loved the orange juice and it came in a glass bottle. Only downside is I kept spilling it. We got the Carolina breakfast it came out pretty quick. Unfortunately it had the wrong egg but they fixed it immediately. Grits were very creamy the sausage gravy was just ok. The Gravy was light on sausage but ok. Something was just missing flavor wise The hash was extremely garlicky(not necessarily a bad thing). The Biscuit was buttery good Pillsbury reminiscent I think the platter needed cheese somewhere. Bacon was delicious but undercooked. Overall the place was eclectic.

Food is hot, fresh, and delicious. The portions were more than enough. Did not need any seasoning. The meatloaf and grits was like true comfort food. My tummy felt like it was at home.

DO NOT DO IT!!!! You will be so upset with the food here. Like others, we were fooled. Apparently this place used to be good. The food was terrible. The chicken was burnt to a crisp. The photo doesn't do it justice. The mac n cheese can't be described. I have no words. The mashed potatoes had a texture I can't quite put my finger on. It seems like they were cooked in the water the mac n cheese noodles were made in. The eggs were bland but the funked up version was better. Please, just don't do it. Things are too expensive to be wasting it on terrible food. The service was great though and the sweet tea is perfect. The country fried steak was pretty good but small. Still not good enough to eat here.

I have worked in a kitchen for 8 years, leading to me being very picky when I go out to eat. This place has AMAZING food, and the recipes are very unique; I always try something different. A must try if you haven’t been!

Me and my boyfriend come here all the time, sit on the back porch & relax and unwind. The food never disappoints. The place always has a great atmosphere, impressive food, and awesome service. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. Get the fried green tomato’s! (Funk it up!!) Sit in the back and enjoy the nature, flowers, artwork, and different cute areas to sit!

Food was very tasty and filling. The servers were friendly, helpful, and made great recommendations from the menu.

We have been coming to Dish for years and are so disappointed in how much the quality of the food has decreased. It used to be one of our favorite places in Charlotte but after our most recent visit we won’t be going back. The chicken and dumplings had no taste whatsoever. I am never one to add salt to food at restaurants but I couldn’t eat it without adding some sort of seasoning. The Mac and cheese was also very plain.

What a slept on spot in Plaza Midwood. A menu full of southern staples: fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken &dumplings, country fried steak etc. This un-assuming spot has all you need for a great meal with friends and family, or some late night eats(they offer an all-day breakfast menu and are open until 1:30am!). Affordable prices across the board with a nice selection of beers or mixed drinks. Try the candied bacon and make sure to funk it up!

Let me start by saying that this was our first time here. Bulleted for easier reading. - Restaurant was barely full, but we were seated in the most uncomfortable, torn up (+ taped) booth in the back. There was plenty of room in the front and we were two people seated in a four person booth. I asked if we could move to the two person table more near the midsection of the restaurant. Waitress/Bartender obliged. - We were ready to order when she came to take our drink order. She took my wife's order + asked if I wanted anything to drink, I said no, but went to say we were ready to order. I looked up and she had already started to leave. We had been seated for 10 mins at this point, and waited 5 to be seated. No problem, but she didn't ask if we were ready to order before she dipped. - My wife ordered a Bloody Mary. I watched the bartender/waitress with colored hair start making one. It didn't end up being my wife's...that's fine. But then said W/B went to the (visible) kitchen window and started smoking her vape indoors. She and the other waitresses stood there, looking over the crowd in conversation at one point...so that was another 5-8 mins or so that we waited on the Bloody to be brought over. - I got a breakfast/brunch bowl that had "root veggies, breakfast potatoes, roast beef, and eggs. I asked for the ROOT VEGGIES to be on the side. The other W/B brings it out and says a passive aggressive, "so who had the deconstructed breakfast hash?" I almost didn't say anything because I was confused - she had three separate plates in her hands...surely it couldn't have been for me? BUT, it was. Plate 1: roast beef; plate 2: eggs; plate 3: potatoes AND the root veggies. I know how a potato grows, but it was listed separately from the root veggies (carrots, squash, parsnip...weirder breakfast hash things). I was a little confounded because I didn't want the root veggies, but her comment made me wanna send it back. She acted like I was being complicated. - Last complaint is that at the back bar, right on the inside OF the bar + to the left is a short, stainless steel surface. Our same W/B w/ the colored hair that vapes in the kitchen couldn't help but put her FOOT up on this surface. Sure, it's unsanitary, but moreover, you could see her crotch while she bounced back and forth she was...nice, though. - As far as the actual food...flavorless, small portions. Needless to say ...we will not be back.

Reviews were impressive but will not be returning. Funky atmosphere which was encouraging when we walked in but food only fair. I had the meatloaf but it was so spicy it covered up the taste and this was the regular and not the hot meatloaf. Halfway through the meal they seated another very loud group in the booth next to us even though the place was only about a third full with several other booths available.

Not welcoming to non locals. We didn't have a car so we picked up the drinks along the way. We had drinks in a bag sealed and unopened and yet , they refused to serve us. We explained that we were from out of town and the drinks were for later, he still stated that we couldn't eat there because of our unopened sealed bottles.

I would not come back here sadly. :( My partner and I went for a date in April and were very excited! The atmosphere was cute and service was quick and helpful. That said, the food was just not up to par or worth the price. I got meatloaf and my partner got a burger. Both of us felt that those things were...fine. They were okay. I felt like the sauce on my meatloaf really clashed. But the reason I'm leaving this review is to tell people not to get the mac n cheese. It was the saddest mac n cheese I have ever seen. BARELY any cheese. Mostly just plain, warm noodles. So bizarre I took a photo for evidence. Hope this restaurant turns the food quality around, so much potential at this location!

We had a great dinner there. We shared Penta cheese appetizer. It was OK. The chicken salad sandwich looked great. The lentil meatloaf was impressive and mashed potatoes and lima beans.

Limited parking, most spaces requiring payment. Lots of traffic in the area. staff was rude and took their sweet time for everything. Very hipster chic restaurant in an area of town that matches- like "not the best part of town"meets young artsy white folks trying to gentrify and make dirt look like diamonds. overcharged on my "too good to go" order- it's supposed to be a "surprise" package of $12 value and I got: a side of potatoes, a side of hash browns, and a side of corn. I don't even see these items listed on their menu except hashbrowns being their current vegetarian special. No protein/entree, no food of value, no distinct flavor. Like I can make better tasting and larger portions of corn potatoes and hash browns for less than what I paid. Super disappointed. I will give "too good to go" bags another try but never again will I enter this establishment.

When I walked in there was a weird vibe, and I should have left then. (RED FLAG ) But TikTok convinced me to download an app called, To Good Too Go"! I decided since today is Sunday and my coworker has been to this restaurant and also said she had a nice size, bag I would check it out. I should have trusted my instincts and not purchased from here, but it was very few restaurants for my area on the app and all the good ones were sold out. Like I said when I walked in the man greeted me but that's where it ended. I said I was there to pick up a bag from the app, which according to the app is supposed to be premade and ready to go. He said give him a second, I was excited to try this app and restaurant. Then a young lady said she would get the bag, but went to the kitchen and fixed this mess up and brought me the small bag. She already gave me racist vibes and when I went in there I was the only African American. She didn't greet me, she handed me the bag she created and said you can heat the containers up. Now why in the entire fu€k would a restaurant even think this was okay to serve a customer? I don't care how much I paid. How does this even go together, if this is what you're serving customers on the App, I would suggest you remove yourself from it. Of course I didn't eat it. I have co workers and friends that use the app for other restaurants and said they have never received anything close to this. I would not even give the restaurant a try now. I am posting this for anyone thinking of chosen this restaurant of the, To good too go app. Please skip over this restaurant!!!! Please also train your staff to treat everyone walking in the door with respect. I was still a paying customer who really didn't get acknowledged! Some people do not belong in the customer service field!!! I wouldn't recommend this restaurant on the app, but anyone seeing this review can give the app a try. It's not the app fault, the restaurant should do better! I wish I could give no stars!

My buddy Andre picked this place and I didn't mind at all. It was open late and they had alcohol! It was a cute little diner and we all had a shot together. I loved the neon, the outside patio but we switched spots from a bright booth to a darker one, closer to the bar. We left Andre because he got glued to watching the Olypics hahaha

We hadn't been to Dish since they were reopened under new management and decided to pop by last night for dinner. It was even better than I remembered! Truly the best place in the area to get some classic comfort food dishes. I ordered the pot roast (a little on the salty side but that was perfect with the less salty mashed potatoes), and it came with a biscuit, deviled egg AND a side (I tried the seasonal salad, which was an incredibly fresh little cherry tomato, basil & balsamic masterpiece). So good. My husband got a Higher Ground IPA to drink and had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, which he enjoyed as well. I love that they serve breakfast all day as well - definitely need to keep that in mind! And next time I'm definitely saving room for dessert - everything in the case looked so, so tasty. The staff are really friendly and welcoming too, and the space just feels like you're stepping back in time into a homey country restaurant (with a fun late-night bar in the back!). We are already pumped to come back and try some more of the delicious-sounding menu items (like the chicken & dumplings, Cajun seasoned meatloaf and pecan-crusted pork tenderloin!). Keep up the awesome cookin', Dish!

Haven't been in a while. Heard they had updated the place so thought we would try it out. Yikes! Service was horrible and food was worse. Staff seemed bothered we were there. Never even asked if we wanted drinks - I assumed they must have thought we only needed water. The chicken and dumplings was more like dough soup with one piece of chicken and the mac and cheese was not even edible. Cold and tasted very old. Biscuit and Egg were also very old. We went durning normal lunch hours. Very disappointing. Will not be returning.

Food's great. But be careful with the carafes of water, mold in the bottom of ours and luckily we noticed after pouring into our cup (see spore floating in the water) before drinking. They didn't offer any compensation or even apologize.

While the atmosphere has improved for the better, over the last few owners the food has gotten worse. Dish used to give massive portions for a good price, now you can "funk it up" and this and that for a higher price and smaller portion. It's just a bit disappointing overall. Will continue to be a staple in the Charlotte community but I hope one day we can get back to a good balance of atmosphere and food.

We are fans of Dish and sadly we've noticed an obvious decline in the quality of the food yet an obvious increase in the price of the food. It's frustrating having to pay more for food that's not as good as it should be. The attention to detail is no longer there and honestly it looks like it's on their last leg. I'd like to take a moment to recognize our server Christina who was remarkable! Very attentive, friendly and welcoming. She deserves acknowledgment. On to the food which we enjoy, but it's the little details that can ruin a good meal. Like for example the incredibly HARD and STALE biscuit that's served with your meal. How can such a simple food item like a biscuit be ruined? And where's the attentiveness of the kitchen staff to let a BURNT biscuit reach any table. Unacceptable! Also I notice a significant increase in the prices yet my country fried steak was much much smaller than usual. So you're increasing prices but cutting my steak in half? Not cool! I think we'll be giving Dish a long break and testing out other Diners in Charlotte. They have gotten too complacent.

Wonderful service, great staff. With a friendly home like setting. Food is terrific!! Real collard greens, Mac & cheese, great honey salmon patties w/a boiled egg on the side. Delicious, also homemade kiwi pie and pecan pie. Located in Midwood, in a wonderful area and has been around at least 2 decades. A must go too place

The dish used to be one of my most favorite spots!! I was so excited to be in the area to be able to stop by, I planned a team meeting there! I get there excited about what to order to only find out they are under new management. That's not always a bad thing but this time, the food just didn't taste the same; not even close. I initially got the chicken and dumplings and I think I tasted paprika in it. Yep paprika...it's like when people put raisins in potato salad;just why? Also it just was not tasty at all. Same with the Cajun Meatloaf. Why ruin such a wonderful staple that they had. It was way to spicy and no sauce which made it dry. One of my colleagues said the shrimp & grits was really good and the presentation of it was beautiful and well done. I exchanged my chicken & dumplings for the fried chicken and it was great! Just the right amount of Crisp and it was juicy and tender. Our waitress was really sweet and understanding. I hope that they go back to some of the same great meals that brought me back to it.

The service is outstanding...the fried green tomatoes were hot, fresh, crisp and awesome. The main entree that I had which was the fish and grits, I did not enjoy. The grits were good but the sauce was nothing but tomatoes and onion broth that to me over powered the entire dish. And the shrimp lacked season and appeared to be steamed. I would have preferred grilled or blackened. My other table mate seemed to like his shrimp and grits. My other friend had salmon, cauliflower rice with spinach and it looked great. I also had a Whoopie Pie on my way out that was delicious. I will try them again but will not order the shrimp and grits again

The food is still good. The ambiance has changed since all the cute vintage items are no longer on the walls. They automatically charge 20% to to go orders even if you are picking up yourself... see photo.

Wow, this was the worst meal that I've had in a long time. The aesthetic of the place was cool and the two people working up front were very friendly. I started with an espresso shot and it was pretty good. What came after was so awful that it's comical. My fiancee ordered the chicken and dumplings with collards and I got the pot roast "birria" burrito with a side of cucumber salad. The chicken and dumplings tasted like dish water, and somehow wasn't even salted at all. Then the greens.. what a disgrace. Canned collard greens that tasted like the can and were somehow also sickly sweet. Idk how you would even achieve that. My fiancee left most of the food on the plate after trying to choke it down. The "birria" burrito consisted of over 50% plain rice, the rest was carrots and dry, bland pot roast. No sauce, no salsa or sour cream which was advertised, no consome.. there was literally nothing anywhere remotely adjacent to birria involved. Calling it birria is like calling frozen lasagna traditional Italian food, but at least the frozen lasagna might taste good. It was also served with tots instead of fries and sadly they were the best thing on the plate. I had to ask the server for some hot sauce to make the burrito edible. Birria is so good and calling that atrocity birria on the menu is absolute disrespect to Mexican culture. Somehow the worst thing we had was the cucumber salad. Imagine cucumber slices and onion tossed with the loose, disgusting, low grade "balsamic" vinegar from Sysco and nothing else. They were inedible. I never waste food but we left the majority of it behind. I have been managing restaurants for almost a decade and can tell you that whoever is running this place now is running it into the ground, serving low quality product without even a modicum of effort to make it taste good. If we had one or two bad items I would have let the server know but with the entire meal being this awful we didn't even waste our time. Looking at the other reviews this seems to be a theme after the last change in ownership. The only positive here was the front of house staff who was working hard and was very nice. I definitely do not want them to catch any heat with this review because the blame is entirely on management for allowing such a sad excuse for food to be served. Don't waste your time or money here.

For sure the best breakfast I have had in Charlotte. I'm not much for fancy brunches anymore, I care about the quality and quantity of food, and Dish served me both. This is down home, real southern cooking in a homey restaurant style. A few booths line this restaurant, the rest of seating being table indoors and outdoors. I ordered the fried chicken thigh breakfast for $12.25. Wow- this breakfast was huge and just as flavorful as it was big in size! The fried chicken was sooo tender and juicy yet so crisp on the outside. The boneless thigh and crispy outside was seasoned so perfectly- it was simple- and tasted like just the right amount of salt and pepper. I am a huge gravy fan and the white gravy here just blended every bite in my mouth perfectly. The other star of the show for me was the hash brown casserole. Wow! I have not had such a tastey side here in CLT. For some reason, it kept reminding me of a thanksgiving side. Definitely recommend getting. I only had small bites of my eggs and biscuit as I was getting full- but all tasted good there. Service was lovely! Jenny kept our waters, coffees, and tea glasses full all the time. She was friendly and great to chat with. We arrived right at 10 on a Saturday and snagged a booth. When we left at 12 there were still open seats available. A lot of people had come, eaten, and left.. food and service were quick. Love that we didn't need a reservation to eat here as a party of 4 on the weekend! Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a home style and filling breakfast!

Still one of the best old time Southern places in Charlotte ! We have eaten there many time times, the last was as good as the first so consistently is a great quality of theirs, The service is always friendly and accommodating. They will add or take away whatever you want or don't on almost any dishes . The Breakfast sandwich is a family favorite and so are the grilled cheese - I suggest if you want Grandmas cooking stop in !

One of the better places for brunch in Charlotte. We arrived at 10am, and it was amazing there was no line or reservations required! The place exudes a down home southern style, and is beautifully simple and unassuming. But the food here is quite the opposite, so tasty and full of flavor! I ordered the tomato biscuit casserole, and an egg + cheese croissant sandwich. The casserole was something new, I've never had anything like it, but I would definitely get it again. The combination of tomato, onion, celery and crumbled biscuit was delightful. It is small though, so you'll want to get something to accompany. The croissant sandwich was perfectly flakey, and the scrambled eggs fresh and flavorful as well. The cherry on top was superb service from Jenny, who found her calling as a server, and was fun, friendly and a joy to be around. Next time you're looking for a good brunch, definitely give Dish a try.

Best breakfast in Charlotte. Eclectic southern feel. Friendly staff greet you when they open at 10:00 a.m. Food was amazing. Everyone in our group enjoyed their breakfast choice. The portion sizes were just right. The hash brown casserole was the best I have had....I will definitely order that next time and get a larger portion :) Our server was over the top and enjoyable to chat with. Everyone made you feel at home....just like you want on a Saturday morning.

Amazing place with unique funky food . The service was amazing and there is a reason why they have been open for so long. Really try it out.

This delicious local joint is apparently a secret since we chose it because all the "trendy" places around the corner were packed and Dish was only half full. We were eating out with a German friend. She loved the shrimp and grits. We started with fried green tomatoes. All of our meals were yummy! Don't miss this homely local joint!

I've frequented Dish for many years, and I love the simple things like brunch, deviled eggs and chicken and dumplings. I will absolutely hit them up for a quick, easy brunch in Plaza Midwood as there's not typically wait and it's a simple breakfast. Even for dinner it's a quick wait and good, comfort food. My issue comes in with their late night menu. We walked in and no one was around, the group of women who stumbled in behind us told us just the back bar was open so we headed that way. The bartender was not friendly at all and told us immediately our bill was $6 for a bud light/Miller lite and never even seemed interested in taking a food order. While we finished our drinks he offered everyone else that came up the food and drink menu and was much more welcoming. Not sure what about us offended him but he was outwardly rude. I'll come back for brunch but will avoid late night here.

The food was good but the service was slow, nice as can be but slow. We walking in and maybe 2% of the tables were occupied and we were told there would be a 15 minute wait minimum. So we waited. Once we sat down the filled every table so I don't know what was going on. They open at 10 and by 10:30 they were out of pancakes. So again, maybe they were just having a bad day. The decor was not what you would call fine dining but the prices were on the low end.

I love that this place is such cool vibe now. Come eat the great food and have a Ho Toy!

Can't believe this is my first review of dish, we have been coming here for years! Our go to is the Cajun Meatloaf, the meat and vegetarian version. Both are amazing! This place is a stable in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood and hopefully never leaves. We were able to make a reservation since our last visit was a family get together. The fried green tomatoes as an appetizer are an absolute must, don't forget to dip them in the dill sauce. However, some of our family members were not as excited as we were, the liver meal was under cooked and the grits had no flavor. I am not sure if it is due to staffing changes that some of the consistency was not there. We love Dish and are definitely coming back. However I hope for our next visit we will see some of that good consistency back.

The food is usually ok here. Never have had a complaint, it's sort of like your mother would cook. The service is always friendly a the ambiance is homely but in a comfort way. I do recommend at least trying the place. I'm oh the home made desserts are really good

By the the BEST BLT sandwich I have ever had! The bacon was cooked perfectly! And I added the fried green tomatoes on it and it just kicked it all the way up a notch. Didn't think a BLT could have so much flavor but my goodness this was perfection!

The food is made very well. The portions are good size. Service is great. From the folks whom greet you at the door to the wait staff. Plenty of room to move around. With the open area you can see around the he whole area.

Chill old school restaurant (think plaid tablecloths) serving delicious southern cooking. I came in here with some friends after long wanting to try it. The colorful yellow building always caught my eye whenever I passed. I went with the country fried steak and man was it delicious. Along with a generous portion of Mac and cheese and I was quite a happy camper. If you are looking for a trendy restaurant with stylish dishes to post on social media this probably ain't it but if you are looking for a place to grab a nice big meal with classics from your childhood I highly recommend you give them a shot. Good prices and good food. I will for sure be back to try the meatloaf!

It's been a while since I've been here and was excited to come back! We ordered the chicken and dumplings with Mac and cheese, side of coleslaw and potato poppers for app. Afterwards we got the bourbon pecan sweet potato pie. Everything was delicious! The server was very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to try more items next time!

Everything we got was delicious. The food was awesome and the staff was extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend this place!

Friendly brunch place with good food. Jenny did a great job serving us and the food was excellent. Enjoyed the smoked brisket hash. Chicken thighs were excellent also.

Food was great. Service was nice very chill vibes. Ambiance has a bar retro feel. Only con is they don't have barbecue sauce .

Great food, great service and highly recommended!!! Fried green tomatoes and candied bacon outstanding and the country fried steak was just delicious!!! Thank you and will stop by again next time I am in the area.

When in Rome, I knew Dish would be the place to go for Southern. We came for breakfast and was surprised at how empty it was when we arrived. But don't be fooled...it definitely got packed as we were finishing up with our meal. They were very welcoming and at us down right away. It did take a while to actually get started thought. I waited longer than I wanted to get my coffee order in. Their coffee was strong and very tasty. We ordered their Fried Green tomatoes to start, and my wife ordered their French toast with sausage and I ordered their Carolina Country Breakfast. Unfortunately, we didn't receive our green tomatoes until longer after both are other dishes arrived. I think they may have forgotten to be honest. My wife's French toast were good, but I only got one bite. They tasted homemade, and tasted like a recipe I have used at home. My Carolina Country Breakfast, was truly a Southern Breakfast. It was definitely very filling. It came with a very soft and buttery biscuit, sausage, gravy, grits and hash brown casserole. The hash browns were my least favorite. I'm more of a traditional crispy hash brown kind of guy, and this was very moist and served with raw onions. I took a few bites, but couldn't finish it since the rest of the meal filled me up. The grits were good and I used the gravy and poured it over the biscuits and ate it with the sausage making my own biscuits and gravy. The best was yet to come. I was already kind of full, but once I had a bite of those fried green tomatoes, it was take over. They were perfectly fried and so addicting to eat. I would have enjoyed them a lot more had I not been full. The breading was seasoned and fried perfectly. The tomatoes had a nice crunch and fresh taste. Next time I'm in town, I'll probably come to Dish just to order these.

This was the 3rd and favorite stop on my bar crawl. My friend and I were a bit confused at first because the restaurant looked empty but the door was open. Somehow we both overlooked the sign instructing us to go to the back where the bar was. We sat at the bar and the bartender gave us the late night food menus. I decided to play it safe by ordering the fries with Alabama sauce. From the time the bartender took our order to when I got my fries took all of 5 minutes! Can fries that come out in 5 minutes with a sauce you've never heard of be good? Well SURPRISE! They were delicious! The best $5 I'd spent that entire night.

This has become one of my favorite places. It's my new hidden gem. This food is so homely. Just like someone's mom made it in the kitchen! And they have drink and mimosa specials . It's been quiet everytime I have been. I went by myself and I went with a group of friends. The staff was always friendly food has been delicious. I will definitely be back!

Food is ok really not worth the hype. What I do like was they are in no hurry for you to leave

So disappointed in the Country Fried Steak! They used to have delicious chicken fried steak, this was thin and no better than frozen. The smoky Lima beans were not edible. Again, they used to be so good. Not sure what has happened to them. Service was great, food wasn't.

I was introduced to DIsh by my new coworkers for lunch one day, as they call it comfort food on a chilly day. Parking is across the street in a parking lot. Location is bigger in the inside than it looks from the outside. Servers were very friendly. I decided to get the pot roast because I am a beef fan. The meal was delicious, beef was tender and shredded with gravy over the beef and mashed potatoes. Biscuit was delicious, as well as the surprise deviled egg that was hiding behind the cabbage. I would return to dish for another comfort food meal.

Excellent food as always. Service is usually slower than expected but the food makes up for it. They are always very accommodating and meals are always fresh and homemade! Steak salad is my favorite with homemade ranch dressing. Deviled eggs and the pimiento cheese appetizers are on point.

First time there - party of 6 I was running late all other women had order their food saw they presentation of one of the dishes shrimp n grits so the waiter took my order . When my order came out it was in a go container I said I didn't ask for my good to go you took my order to sit n eat At your place of business . He took the go container which was in a soup container n slabbed the food onto a plate . I said please make me a new dish he said sorry they closing for the weekend after todays shift and that was the last but they were open till 10 pm and I was there around 3:30 pm ‍‍. I asked to speak to manager he said he is busy he can't speak to me like only 4 tables to tend too . I went inside and ask to speak to manager again still did not come out Finally the waiter said Stan aka manager aka General manger yo she said she wants to talk to u . What a Joke . I asked him 4 tables customers in this entire place n ur busy to speak to a paying customer that ask to speak to u . He stated he was the cook n so I said how could u send out a dish like that if your the cook n your the General manager in this place of business . He told me he didn't see but you just told me your the one cooking ‍‍ get your stories right bad experience it's a shame . I called the owner Russel left a message and have not heard from him .

Date of service: September 2022 Service: good Ambiance: nice Food: subpar Our server was super nice, charismatic, and attentive. I don't remember her name but she had long, straight brown hair. She was really helpful! The food was a little disappointing, however. The deviled eggs weren't super tasty. I finished mine because I was really hungry, but I wasn't impressed. For my meal I got the pot roast and it wasn't very flavorful. It fell short of my expectations. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it was genuinely the worst Bloody Mary I have ever had. My friend tried it and offered to put the Bloody Mary on his tab because "nobody should have to pay for that on their birthday" (it was my birthday). My friend got the grilled cheese and I tried a bite, that was the best thing I tried there. It did give me hope that they have other good items on their menu. I normally don't post reviews unless it's a 5 star experience but I do feel like if someone has a specific hankering for a good Bloody Mary or a good pot roast, it's fair to warn.

I loved Dish, but wow the customer service I witnessed today was insane. I walked in and it took a hot minute to be helped. Was sat and the waitress disappeared had to flag her down to put in an order. Clearly a bit understaffed even though they were almost completely empty. What is crazy though is witnessing the owner argue with the table next to me about the shrimp and grits. The table wasn't happy with the food after having ordered it in the past- instead of replacing it they said they can order something else at a 25% discount. He refused to take it off the bill and said it's the cost of business. The owner said they have used the same recipes for 20 years and basically walked away saying if the table decided to order something else to let him know. Y'all this table handled it so graciously and remained so kind to the waitress who had to make up for the lack of service of the owner who was hiding in the bar. The poor guy didn't get anything to eat and had to pay for a dish they sent back. I felt bad for the guy. Y'all I used to eat here weekly in 2016 - the food I had today was terrible in comparison. The biscuit was dry. The deviled egg was subpar. The collards tasted of sugar - I'm still scratching my head on that one. They no longer carry blackberry jam for the biscuits and instead have cheap strawberry jelly, which isn't the end of the world but I think it speaks volumes to the change of ingredients and quality of food. The food is not the Dish of yesterday and with the management and lack of customer service I saw today - it is clear why. There used to hardly be a day you could walk in this place between 11-2 and it wasn't crazy busy with a wait. The waitress I spoke to was convinced people aren't coming in because of COVID, but what I witnessed today I'm willing to venture there are other reasons. Spoke to the owner directly to let him know how crazy it was to watch a business treat customers so poorly over a bowl of grits (think about how cheap grits are y'all). He was cordial with me, but not very receptive to the feedback. The owner apparently has owned Dish for two years and also owns Sweet Lew's - which I've heard good things about from friends who still live locally. Hopefully they have better service and food than what I experienced today at Dish. I truly hope they can turn this around because Dish was at one point one of the best places in town for a square blue plate special.

I came on a Sunday during prime brunch time. I was a one person table. They gave me the option to sit at the bar, but I am so glad I waited the extra five minutes to be sat! The team worked well together to keep everything organized during the busy rush! Sarah, my server, was so quick and gave many great recommendations. I enjoyed a vanilla latte that she offered as well as my light brunch with a biscuit eggs and some fruit! Everything was delicious and I was able to add bacon. Sarah worked diligently and I enjoyed myself and even got some work done. The environment inside is also beautiful!
