Moosehead Grill

From the moment we sat down, Cynthia made our experience unforgettable. She was attentive without being overbearing, always ready with a quick joke and a warm smile that made us feel right at home. Her upbeat, joyful attitude added just as much flavor to the evening as the food itself — and that’s saying something! We tried a variety of dishes, and everything hit the mark. The salad with warm bacon dressing was fresh and flavorful, the wings were perfectly seasoned and crispy, and the meatloaf sandwich? Massive, hearty, and absolutely delicious. One of our group ordered the nachos and couldn’t stop raving about them — “awesome” doesn’t even cover it. Thanks to Cynthia’s stellar service and the fantastic food, we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I love wings so we decided to check this place out. We were not disappointed. They have a lunch menu on the white board and the prices are really good. We tried four different types of wings and they had very good flavors and char. Too many places have wings that are not crispy and thankfully, Moosehead knows how to make some crispy and flavorful wings. We do like hot wings and found out the Carolina reaper wings were a bit too hot for us and we can eat pretty hot stuff. The blackened wings, Killer bees and hemo-goblins were much less intense in heat than the reaper wings. Fries were excellent as was the Mac and cheese. The inside is fun and the staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back!

I've heard that this place had some of the best wings in charlotte so I decided to give it a shot. We got a table pretty quickly, it's really small on the inside, but they have a very large patio that is 2 stories. The staff was very nice food came out really quickly. Definitely tried some wings and a philly...both were delicious. Will definitely come back.

(Last visited April 7, 2023.) Hanging out in the area on business and it's dinner time! It's #WingWednesday so I checked out that Mashed YouTube video where they highlight the best wings in each state. They said Moosehead Grill had the best wings in North Carolina... so here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is pretty damn big! There's 2 floors and PLENTY of outdoor seating! I almost feel like there's more seating outside than inside. Lol. Being here in Charlotte it probably is warm enough to dine outdoors most of the year. Inside is lively, energetic and decorated with so many little nick-nacks that give this place so much personality. This place was SO freaking busy so we sat outside Service: Claudia took excellent care of us. She was sweet, funny and kept it all the way real! Food: Alright, so I tried out 5 of their legendary flavors! You can only get 1 flavor per 5 wings so keep that in mind. Some of them are fried and some are grilled, but you have to ask since the menu won't tell you. Killer Bee: So this is a layered flavor of their "Bee Sting", which is honey and habanero, but then kicked up with more heat and a touch of mango. Basically another way to say "mango habanero". These were deliciously sweet and spicy as soon as it touched my tongue. The flavors were SUPER powerful and I really loved that. I didn't taste as much honey in the wing as I was expecting, but perhaps it was used as a thickener/supporting character. Uncle Donnie's Famous Blackened Wings: I love fried wings, but when restaurants cook them in other ways such as baking, smoking or grilling, I become an even bigger fan! Now these were grilled and the evidence was there. Char all over the wing, perhaps a little too much, but these were incredible. The meat fell off the bone and they were ridiculously tender. The flavors were incredible and so bold, hearty with plenty of umami! Meeso Honey: These are a mixture of miso ginger and honey. Seems innocent and these did have a grilled finish to them. The flavors were rich, the ginger showed up and so did the honey. There were some other lighter flavors that shined through as well. Hemo-Goblin: The menu says this is a flavor consisting of blood orange and ghost pepper. Seems a bit intimidating. I've never had anything like this before, but these were full of flavor. The ghost pepper spice did take a minute to ramp up, as usual. However, these let me down in the spice department. I thought they were going to be spicer, but coming up... I get what I deserved... Hoison-Poison: These are the spiciest wings on the menu. This is a mixture of Hemo-Goblin then made ridiculous with Carolina Reaper. Kinda awesome to have a Carolina Reaper in the state where they were first conceived. Lol. This sauce was quite intimidating. It was so dark, brown and gritty. I just knew it was going to be bad and you can smell the fumes coming from the sauce. Immediately, I started feeling the sensation of heat, but not the actual heat just yet. It did start to ramp up though, but before it did I got to experience notes of sweetness, like those from the rind of peppers. After about 25 seconds my eyes started watering. Then with each breath I took, it got hotter, like feeding a fire more oxygen. Lol. These didn't quite take me out the game, but boy, I would not want to eat an entire order of these. Good thing I only ordered a side of the sauce to pour onto another wing. Value: Each order of wings was $8.25 for 5. That sounds about right. The wings were of a decent size and the quality was top-notch. In conclusion, I can't wait to come back here and check out some more of their flavors! Make your way here if you're in the area!

Wonderful! Drove from PA and this place is great. Side salad was no joke. 2 extra bucks and had mushrooms, tomatoes, radish, green pepper, and a pepperonchini. The BBQ sandwich....you're not going hungry. The homemade onion rings delish. They need a sauce to dip though, maybe chipotle. We'll be back next year. Hands down beats that "other" BBQ place.

I would not recommend getting anything besides the chicken wings. We ordered takeout: 10 wings, chicken tender basket, and mozzarella sticks. The only thing edible were the wings. Tender basket was dry and not what was expected- there are two tender patties to be more specific that were over cooked, asked for honey mustard none given even though it was on receipt. Mozzarella sticks are 3 triangles, which again look over cooked. Spending $50 for this order was a mistake. I just wonder how the reviews are so good…

Moosehead is a local favorite. I’ve been going here since I was in college. Since Covid their lunch service is super convenient. You order and pay when you enter. This allows diners to be served faster with less staff. Often times one of the owners is ringing in orders and running food. The specialty entries on the menu are amazing and a great food value without any of the frills. If you want finger food, try the wings, they are about the best in Charlotte. Also grab a bowl of clam chowder to go for tomorrow. You won’t be disappointed.

We visited Moosehead Grill in Charlotte’s Madison Park area on a Sunday evening in September, and it was one of the best bar & grills I’ve been to in a while! Moosehead is the perfect spot for socializing, catching a game, and enjoying some of the best wings in town. The wings are truly top-notch—juicy, well-seasoned, and bursting with flavor. We tried the blackened wings, which were a must-try; the Killed Bees flavor had an amazing blend of mango and heat that we loved; and the Jamaican jerk was solid, adding just the right amount of spice. The fries were fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy—a great sidekick to the wings. Shout-out to the Sunday night crew for being so welcoming and making our first visit a great experience. We’ll definitely be back for the food and the friendly atmosphere!
