"If you want to experience Charlotte as the neighborhood city it really is, Letty’s will give you just that. Tucked into an old pharmacy building near Eastway Drive, it’s got an eclectic vibe with flea market funkiness and a menu of homey classics, like fried chicken drizzled with honey and pecans or pimento cheese fritters, plus a weekend brunch. The wine selection is a surprise, and there’s a full bar in case customers want something harder." - Timothy DePeugh, Kathleen Purvis

My first time here and certainly won’t be my last. I went for a special event, a drag brunch and as an alley myself I loved hearing abt the story that Letty’s is one too and that is a safe place for people in the lifestyle. I think that is beautiful! The event included a buffet brunch, and my gosh that food was amazing! Seasoned to perfection! I can’t wait to go back on a regular day to try them out but best believe I’ll be back when they have this brunch buffet again:

This is a hidden gem in Charlotte. Our bartenders Traci and Hannah were awesome. Jo and I split the fish and chips. We sat at the bar. The atmosphere is very chill. We will be back.

Dining at Letty’s on Shamrock in Charlotte was a pretty good experience. They served Southern comfort food in a homey atmosphere. We got the Honey Pecan Chicken with the sides of fried okra, sweet potato fries, broccoli casserole and coleslaw. The sides tasted pretty delicious. The broccoli casserole and sweet potato fries were out of this world, and both are highly recommended. We thought the honey pecan chicken could’ve used a bit more flavour, so we ended up having it with some hot sauce. The server was quite polite and funny. It was nice chatting with her. We really felt the southern hospitality, thanks to her. There’s parking outside, and you might want to check their hours prior to visiting. We will be back here to try their other dishes and desserts.

Letty’s is a local unpretentious & friendly place. The food was delicious! We had marinated chicken, black eyed pea salad, pimento fritters, the creole, and the peanut butter pie. Oh…and lemonade made on the spot. Service was super friendly too. We highly recommend Letty’s!

Letty’s is where you go if you’re from out of town but want to be treated like you live next door. Letty, the owner, is a perfect host and our waiter was poised and kind even while dealing with a full dining room. The nignt we went they were very short staffed due to the flu. We ordered the pimento balls (our favorite), fried green tomatoes, a delicious chicken soup, honey-pecan chicken, creole penne pasta with shrimp and multiple sides. Everything was prepared with care and big flavor. The makers mark old fashioned is priced so fair at $12, was strong and made the way no one makes them anymore, with a muddled cherry and orange at the bottom. The dining room is personal and 100% independent. Don’t miss out on this Charlotte gem.

Delicious brunch with a true hole-in-the-wall feel. Prices were a bit higher than the menu posted online, but portions were generous and everything was fresh. I'd like to come back for dinner sometime!

Service was so so, drink was never refilled. Mashed potatoes were ice cold and bland. The pimento Mac n cheese was lacking also. The honey pecan chicken was delicious.

They say its the little hidden spots that have the best food. We went to Letty's based on the food reviews of others. We arrived when they just opened. To be honest the food was ok but I was not head over heels in love with it. The food looked so delicious on the plate but just was lacking in the seasoning department. The food was so bland to me, I can understand that no one wants over season food but food with no seasoning is not that great either. The other family members I was with felt the same. The food was good but just lacked seasoning. The service was great.

When I drove past the restaurant, it was closed. After looking online 15 minutes later, I saw that they opened at 4:30 PM. I ordered the Rotisserie Chicken Salad Plate and was advised that this item was no longer available. I was told that I could order a Chicken Plate. That was my order with a side of slaw and Black-eyed peas. This was my opportunity to try the place out and besides, I was pretty hungry. When I arrived about 10 minutes later, I had to wait about 5 minutes for the plate to be ready. The chicken was cold (didn't like that). The Black-eyed pea salad was different, not something I care to have often. A few customers arrived as I was awaiting. They appeared to be regulars. Because of their evening/night hours, I asked if the place was jumping during the evening hours and didn't receive much of a response. I can't say when I will return to eat in but the photos on the website look enticing so I will do that when I get a chance.

I would have given 5 stars, but it just wasn't plausible, they ran out of orange juice for the mimosas. The choices of another juice was slim. I really hate pineapple juice but that's all they had.. I have to say that was my last mimosa an it was terrible. I had shrimp and grits, in which I had to eat pretty fast because they started to break down quick. I should not have to eat my food fast. Also for $18.95 I should have received a bigger portion of food than what I got. The portion was more like a child's plate not a hungry adult.

This food, not especially healthy, was just what my soul needed after saying goodbye to my dying uncle and visiting with my 86 yo mother in law in rehab not far from Letty's. I could eat the fried okra nonstop! The fried chicken with the pecan sauce was scrumptious. Hubby scarfed down the Mac and cheese so quickly that I didn't get a bite! The black eyed pea salad was a unique spin on this southern staple. We ordered the food to go and it was ready as stated and still very hot when we got to our hotel in downtown Charlotte, about a 10 minute drive.

Peanut butter Oreo pie and a glass of red wine? Yes please. Letty's is a great local place in the heart of Shamrock. Had a wonderful conversation with Letty "the Legend" who recommended a great bottle of wine for a wonderful date night. Staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. Had a fantastic experience! Highly recommend.

Doesn't look like much from the outside and you have to look for it to find it. This popped up on places that I should try and so I gave it a go! Amazing food and staff! I went for Valentine's Day weekend for brunch on Sunday & my was I in for a treat! I got the chocolate chip waffles with fruit marmalade and soy-sage. I added two scrambled eggs on the side and a double mimosa! The food is so filling and made with love!! Would recommend a thousand times.! Def gotta try it!

This place might be one of my top favorites in Charlotte! It's a hidden little gem in the Plaza/Shamrock neighborhood. Ever since I had the Honey Pecan Chicken, I've been literally dreaming about getting it again! Honestly one of the best chicken dishes I've had. The flavors of the honey and pecan really made it. The menu is super reasonable as well. The entree itself was big, and it came with two sides all for $13. I highly recommend the broccoli casserole- it was delicious! I can't wait to go back soon!!

I am very glad to have found this hidden gem!! I've been driving past it for about 2 months now, and luckily was a passenger so I am glad I spotted it, because it's somewhat easy to miss if you're not observant. First of all I'll start by saying the service was fantastic! The waitresses were extremely attentive and friendly. We were luckily able to meet the owner Letty, who was as friendly as can be. They offer a great wine selection for dining in or taking home, and Letty was very passionate and knowledgeable about her wine. We started with the fried green tomatoes and they were a brilliant mixture of crispy crust, honey mustard (with a slight kick), and bacon. The waitress suggested the Honey Pecan chicken with bacon mac and cheese and fried okra, which I already had my heart set on. It turned out to be a great decision. The chicken was fried to perfection and extremely crispy, with the right level of sweetness. The bacon mac and cheese had more of an Alfredo vibe to me, but that wasn't a bad thing. As one of my favorite foods, the okra was on point. My boyfriend got the fish and chips and they were delicious as well. All of the batters were different on the fried foods, so always a good thing. We finished with a strawberry shake, which was also delicious. I'll be back for that blueberry crumble though. I had a fantastic first experience here, and can't wait to come back! To top it all off, they host wine nights if you get on their mailing list!!!

No idea how I am just now reviewing Letty's! They just went above and beyond and it made me think to check and see if I had posted a review yet. We have been coming to Letty's for a few years now. The food and the staff here are awesome! Some of my favorite dishes are the BLT, Carolina Burger, potato wedges, chicken pita, fish and chips, and broccoli casserole. We love Letty's and the neighborhood wouldn't be the same without them!

We wanted to try something new and yelp led us here tonight. The service was incredible, and the food was top notch. We would go back just for the fried okra. Highly recommend

Wish I could give this place zero stars. Not sure why it is rated so highly. Completely catfishing the average yelp user. Fried green tomatoes terrible. Bacon terrible. Sausage terrible. Chicken mediocre. Not sure what they were trying to do with the broccoli pictured below. I know this is a local business and don't want to trash it's ratings, but this is one of the poorest restaurants I've been to in a minute.

Wa sheading up town for another restaurant and decided to try a new place on a whim. What a great surprise. Food and service was superb. The chicken was so good. I sear these were the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Great little spot I wouldn't have typically chosen if not for the yelp reviews. Will definately try again.

My roomie suggested we come check out Letty's for their mimosas. I'm not a big drinker so you know I came for the food. I checked out the reviews on Yelp prior to ordering. I settled on the Honey Pecan Chicken with broccoli casserole and cole slaw. The chicken was an 7/10. I feel like the chicken flavor came from the fried coating and no flavor to the chicken. If it was seasoned prior to frying it would have been a solid 10/10. Broccoli casserole is a good 5/10. It needed salt and possibly a better cheese? The broccoli was cooked very well. It was just the sauce that didn't make the cut for me ‍. People kept recommending it on here and now I'm judging you... Cole slaw was a 10/10. Wasn't too creamy or heavy. The black pepper was A1 in this side. Like, it's probably the best coleslaw I've had in a while next to some other places I've had. I would recommend it. My roomie got the same meal as I except he got the rice pilaf and he also got the broccoli casserole. Run from the rice pilaf. He tasted it once and asked me to try it and I did. I immediately told him that that ain't it chief. It's funny cause our server said it was tasty after my roomie asked how it was . All in all, I'd go again to try the other dishes but I won't go out of my way to return. The ambiance is nice but the food wasn't out of this world.

Shane C.

Yelp
Let's start with the most important part: the food. Letty has made a habit of traveling around the country and eating at various restaurants then coming back to her kitchen and working with her chef to bring her favorites to this restaurant. She's spent a fair amount of time in Cajun country, especially during college football season. For that, we're rewarded. The Cajun pasta is amazing. The specials she rotates are wonderful - anytime a po' boy is on the menu I'm definitely getting it. Second to the food would be the inviting atmosphere that they create. You don't feel rushed or like your just another table. Makes you want to come back time and time again.

Shannon H.

Yelp
Nice little place with really good chicken. The wait staff were super friendly, too! It was a screaming hot summer day and the inside lights were off which I totally appreciated. It made for a quaint, friendly respite from the day. We will definitely be going back to try non-breakfast options.

My dinner group decided to go old school and pick a side of town that we don't often go to. I myself had never been to Letty's, but after reading the menu, I was looking forward to checking it out and enjoying some good old cooking. After almost getting lost, I came upon the Letty's sign and was thrilled. The restaurant is definitely off the beaten path. Once inside I noticed the restaurant is divided, one side with a bar and a few small tables and the other specifically for the dining area. The restaurant was packed, but luckily we had a reservation. Letty herself came to our table and walked us through the menu, highlighting the specials, what they were out of for the night and definitely focused some time on the wine list, as they offer some that cannot be found in the state at this time. After Letty left, service became a little shady. We arrived at 7:00 and by 7:45 we had yet to receive our drinks. After asking for some bread, being that butter was on the table and you're typically brought bread when there is butter, our waiter brought me, and only me, a biscuit. Really? And, the worst past was it was definitely out of the microwave because it was hard a brick on the bottom but soft of the top. I attempted to eat it, but it tasted horrible. We had a group of ten so our party had a variety of dinner options, including the Pecan Chicken, Smothered Fried Chicken, Fish & Chips, Burgers and a few others. Everyone who had the chicken loved it! I ordered the Fish and Chips and absolutely loved the chips. The fish was okay, a little small and the batter was a little mushy. Overall it was good, but I have definitely had better Fish & Chips. I did taste some of the Pimento Cheese burger and I should have gone with that, so delish! Several of us also enjoyed desserts, which we all good. Although service was definitely not on point, the food was good, and perfectly priced for what you get, and I love the fact this is a locally owned restaurant with the owner involved in things as much as she was.

Don't judge too quickly because you might not be impressed on first glance. The restaurant is in a very small strip plaza next to an auto shop so you could easily miss it if you're not paying attention. As we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated by none other than Letty herself who quickly informed us that not only would she be our sever but she would also be the cook! She's very friendly but you can also tell that she's about business! We promptly put our orders in and patiently waited for our meals which would not disappoint. Everything was delicious! Well almost everything, I personally didn't care for the Pimiento Mac & Cheese, but my other half liked them. The Chicken Fried Chicken was excellent! The Pecan Fried Chicken was incredible! The red skin mashed potatoes are the real deal! No box potatoes here. You can really tell that the food is prepared with love and dedication. Considering that Letty was a one woman show, we have zero complaints on the food or the service. I would definitely recommend and I will certainly be back! Their prices are reasonable and the portions are enough! Maybe next time I'll leave room for dessert.

Michele D.

Yelp
Went tonight and was so disappointed. Can't understand the reviews. Yelp rarely lets me down. Pimento Mac and cheese with bacon was flavorless an not one pimento to be found. Broccoli casserole was inedible - mushy, burnt, and there was something like sand in it. The chicken was overcooked. My daughter's burger was awful. She couldn't even eat it. Fries tasted freezer burnt. Way overpriced for the quality. Even the cocktail my husband had was subpar. We don't expect perfection and we aren't hard to please. We are just scratching our heads on this one.

We had brunch there last Sunday and the food and service was excellent. Met Letty, such a great lady. I highly recommend Letty's for a great place to eat and enjoy.

I have to start out with the bad before the good. There is a $10 fee for opening any bottle of wine you buy. They will not tell you about this, but expect it. The good, however, vastly outward the bad. The servers are great, food is AMAZING, and the price is great as well! I have recommended this place to many people already. I also got the fried chicken with honey and was incredibly impressed.

Julie K.

Yelp
Headed for brunch on Sunday. They had some event in the dining area and we were seated in the bar area. It was a bit noisy from the event but the servers were very attentive and the food was served very fast. Fried green tomato benedict was great! It was the first time to try green tomato benedict and liked the sauce. But salmon cakes egg scramble was a bit disappointing. The salmon cake was so dry. We were not sure if it was freshly cooked. Green tomato benedict was 4 stars and salmon cake was 2 tars. The service was 4 stars. If we go back for a brunch next time, will try other menus.

I can honestly say I had never heard of Letty's before today. I did a brunch near me search and it came up. I LOVE this place. Great food, great atmosphere, and an all around wonderful experience. Some of the friendliest staff I have seen at any restaurant in Charlotte. We will definitely be back and encourage anyone looking for a new restaurant to check out to come here. You will not regret it!

Ashley E.

Yelp
We were in town for a concert and looking for brunch on the way to the airport. The website and the exterior didn't match, but we opted to give it a whirl. A solid decision, to say the least. Chicken biscuit gravy special, eggs Benedict and a waffle on the side. Best sausage gravy I've ever eaten. The waffle had a sweet crunch that was an unexpected surprise and was delicious! The service was great, people were friendly. Most definitely a hidden diamond in the rough for a Sunday brunch.

I crave the smothered chicken and grits on a regular basis it is so freaking good, I've never had any other dish like it at another restaurant. Service is always lovely and there's a homey feel to the service and the place.

Robin T.

Letty's is the best restaurant in Charlotte hands down! The food is always a bit better than similar places (fresher?). It's casual with reasonable prices and good wine. But the best is the people: Letty, Tracy, and Sara can't be beat! They are kind and attentive, they happily accommodate people with food intolerances, and no matter how busy we are always cared for. Letty has also done a great job with takeout during Covid. Food is appropriately packaged (e.g. bun separate from burger patty so it doesn't get soggy when heating up at home) and you can call to have it delivered to your car & not go inside. Favorites: Honey pecan chicken Broccoli casserole Burger BBQ Almost any dinner special All desserts

Great place to hang out and have some delicious wine. Nice find from all of the chain restaurants with a good atmosphere and wait staff. We had a great dinner with the cheesecake as the dessert. I recommend Letty's, give them a try you'll like me it too.

Best meal my wife and I have eaten in Charlotte. The Honey Pecan Chicken, the Broccoli casserole and the Mac N Cheese is awesome. It's great place, nice atmosphere and very pleasant service. I wish we had one of these in Texas.

J H.

Yelp
Unpretentious, friendly local spot with great comfort food at a good price. The opposite of Charlotte's immaculate multi-million dollar restaurant group ventures, Letty and a group of regular servers will provide great reassuring comfort food and attentive service to a group of regular customers who keep coming back for good reason.

Christina O.

Yelp
Lettys has great food. The wine selection is amazing. This is a great place to go with friends to unwine and to drink wine. There's a full bar. I absolutely recommend this awesome restaurant. The owner is really cool. She makes sure her guest get nothing but the best. Ohhhh the deserts are homemade and worth every bite. Great service the servers are welcoming and I enjoy having brunch on Sunday's there and on Tuesday's they have Trivia. Worth the try. The honey pecan fried chicken with smashed potatoes and the mac and cheese or the broccoli casserole. Just go and enjoy.

This edition of Excited about Eating takes us to Letty's, a southern-style restaurant in the heart of the Midwood region of Charlotte. This neighborhood eatery offers comfort food in a homey environment where everyone is welcomed. Dora here. True. Letty made her way around the dining room, chatting with patrons, several times during our visit. What Letty's lacked in ambiance, they more than made up for in cleanliness, friendliness, and good service. Probably a local favorite. When I mentioned that it was a bit dark, hubby chimed in with romantic. That's my guy.:) As a starter, we ordered Pimiento Cheese Fritters, panko-battered and fried, and served with Letty's tomato jam. The fritters were great, crispy on the outside but smooth and creamy on the inside. When dipped into the cool and sweet tomato jam, perfect! Dora here. Tomatoes and pimento? How did Ernie ever convince me to order this? lol. Actually, the fritters were a great start. I had high hopes.:) The server recommended Shrimp & Grits. Grilled shrimp served over sausage gravy and topped with grits, crumbled bacon and cheddar jack cheese. This dish was loaded with shrimp and cheese, and the combination blended so well together, I will definitely try this again. Dora here. Our server also recommended the Honey Pecan Chicken, which sounded right up my foodie alley. Maybe because I'm trying to eat healthier, the chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste, almost like candy, and most of the options for sides were carb-heavy. That said, check out the generous portions, and what a great value at only $10. Fellas, if you're looking for a romantic spot to wow your sweetheart, this probably isn't the place. But if you're looking for down-home cooking at a great value, head to Letty's. What's your favorite southern-style cooking restaurant? We rate this restaurant 4 forks out of 5 for a family friendly restaurant serving great food. ~Ernie & Dora Hiers, Fiction Faith & Foodies Blog http://torikayson.com/2016/04/02/excited-about-eating-by-ernie-hiers/

Love this spot for some good home cooking. Anything with fried chicken is delish. The Portuguese shrimp is awesome. That and a wedge salad are pretty much my go to here. Oh and real fried okra....can't be beat. The only complaint is that the menu is a little boring. It's not entirely home cooking for the entire menu and they don't offer a ton variety. They run specials, but it tends to be fried fish or pasta in the times I have been.

This is my neighborhood joint and it's always on point! Love the food and the waitresses there.

Loved this little diamond in the rough. Glad I stopped and experienced Lettys. The restaurant itself is small but welcoming. Our waitress was very pleasant and was honest about menu choices. The food was pretty good. I had the pecan/honey chicken which was cooked perfectly. I would have preferred more seasoning on the chicken but it was still tasty. I also had the broccoli casserole and Mac and cheese both were a little on the greasy side but flavorful. My dining partner had some type of pasta (don't remember the name) that he enjoyed. The highlight of the dinner was Letty herself who brought out our food and was charming and pleasant. I will definitely go back. SN-The restaurant is easy to pass so make sure to pay attn when nearing your destination.

Went to Letty's for brunch today. As usual it was outstanding. We drive from Wingate to Letty's for brunch every couple of months. It is our favorite place for brunch. We started off with pimento cheese fritters with a tomato jam for dipping. They are so good Cathie said next time she may get two orders of fritters and a side of bacon for her meal. Cathie had chicken and grits which is a big bowl of grits with two fried chicken breasts on top covered in sausage gravy. I had that last time and it is really good. I had the chicken and waffles. This is Letty's fried chicken with pecans and honey syrup on two fabulous waffles. Both meals were very very good. We both only ate half and brought half home for a great supper. The service was also very good and Letty also stopped by our table to chat. Well worth the drive to Charlotte for a great meal.

Yelp
First off don't let its appearance keep you away! There aren't many of these kind of place left in Charlotte especially in this area of town these days. It is good simple food at reasonable prices which you don't see much anymore. The pecan fried chicken is their signature dish and it seems like you can't go wrong with it. The vegetarian meatloaf is probably the best I have ever had. And make sure to save room for one of their always changing desserts! I wasn't a big fan of the summer corn (a little to "relishy" for me) salad but the broccoli casserole and the pimento Mac and cheese were great.

Best kept secret in Charlotte. The staff great. The food is delicious. And the wine exceeds expectations. If you get a chance to go to a wine tasting, you will experience the art Letty puts into pairing tasty morsels with great wine!

I absolutely love this place. One of my top 3 restaurants in Charlotte. Great food, great wait staff and bartenders and an awesome atmosphere.

I'll start this review the same way I always start...five stars is nearly impossible to achieve (with me). To Letty's credit, there was not one thing they could have done better during my visit. No wait (11:30am on a Sunday), great/kind wait staff, great sweet tea and great food. Now, let's get to the review... I try to check-out local spots when traveling. Yelp makes that easier. I wanted something close to the university and open on Sunday at 11am. Letty's was! I ordered the honey pecan fried chicken, after narrowing it down to this and one other option on the menu. (I don't even remember what that other dish was, but it had shrimp and a Creole sauce). The server recommended the honey pecan fried chicken, so who am I to argue? The dish cane with two sides. I opted for the rice pilaf and fried potato wedges. The rice was...well, rice. If its not bad, its what you expect, right? The potato wedges were good. I guess ive had bad wedges, but these were not. Did I mention they were fried? I barely ate the sided, though. Instead, I spent my hunger on the two boneless fried chicken masterpieces covered in honey and pecans. I don't even like honey and pecans, but I devoured it all! If/when back in Charlotte, I'll be back!

Michael W.

Yelp
Well, well well! We just may have found our new favorite spot in Charlotte! Despite its long distance from our side of town, it is well worth the hike. Letty's is chock full of character, good fun, and food that is so damn good you'll want to go smack someone. We met another couple there tonight and were surprised that there were musicians playing. It was a rather large group of musicians and their sounds were down home fun. Our table was very close to where they were playing, so there wasn't much of a chance to talk, but we yelled a few things to each other. There is only live music here about every two months, or so, said the server. Speaking of the server, she was delightful. If every server could be like she was, dining out would be much more enjoyable. When our food was a little delayed coming from the kitchen, she made sure we had a round of drinks on her. (shhhhh). The Honey Pecan Chicken dish that I had was lip smacking good, and I ain't kidding one bit. I don't know what they did to that piece of chicken, but I'll be dreaming about it for the next week. And, the fried okra and black eyed pea salad also had my taste buds doing gymnastics. Loved the food, the atmosphere, and the service. This place is what all Charlotte restaurants should aspire to. Enough of the order at the counter places. Let's bring more of THIS to our town. Two thumbs up and then some. Outrageous. Totally outrageous.

We decide to try Letty's for dinner tonight since it has been on our list and we enjoyed it thoroughly! We were concerned after reading other reviews, but we experienced great food and great service. We started with fried green tomatoes and the pimento cheese fritters. The fritters were unreal, very tasty and crisp. I am not one for fried cheese, but this is my exception. The tomatoes were much the same and were cooked perfectly- it unnerves me when fried green tomatoes are cooked into a mushy mess. For entrees I had the pork chops and my better half enjoyed the shrimp fra Davila. I noticed fried okra on the menu and ordered it as well (I had to check it out if they really do southern comfort food!). The shrimp dish arrived on a lovely bed of al dente pasta with a nice light sauce with good spiciness. Most importantly, the shrimp were perfectly cooked and not reduced to rubber. The chops were also not overlooked (which is a huge issue with me) and had the most lovely glaze. The fried okra was flavorful and crunchy. Presentation was great as indicated in posted pics. I have to say that our dinner was great and visiting with Letty herself was an added bonus. Check it out and decide for yourself!
