Southern kitchen with craft cocktails & comfort food like fried chicken
"Haberdish is like Barbra Streisand’s trophy room: it contains multitudes. This upscale Southern joint does classics like fried chicken, BBQ ribs, deviled eggs, and hushpuppies, all plated on fine china with pretty garnishes. Go for brunch or dinner and order everything family-style. Haberdish is in NoDa, which is where Charlotte’s textile industry began, and the restaurant’s exposed brick and wood beams fit right in. This place is always full, especially on weekends, so definitely book ahead." - tess allen, g clay whittaker
"Charlotteans all share in their grief over the loss of the beloved Price’s Chicken Coop. Ask a random sample of locals where they go to now instead, and the answers will be all over the place. But ask local chefs about their new fried chicken fix, and the answer is always the same: if not Price’s, then Haberdish. Always listen to local chefs. Haberdish, boho-chic NoDa’s Southern kitchen that serves up good food and sturdy cocktails to the people who live there, offers fried chicken that’s satisfyingly crispy, juicy, and, to paraphrase a famous pop-culture pie-maker from the South, just tends to make everyone feel better about life. Dipping it in Haberdish’s Alabama white sauce is a requirement." - Timothy DePeugh
"Diners who’ve reserved at Haberdish are welcomed not only with wafts of the sweet and generously-sized hushpuppies, but with a handwritten welcome note, honing that home-sweet-home feel of the Tonidandel-Brown establishment. Split the fried chicken (with eight dipping options) and cheers with Old Fashioned Week’s speciality Elijah Craig cocktail: “Hail to the Queen City Old Fashioned.” It’s a spicy, juicy take on the classic, leveraging charred pineapple and toasted cinnamon. If the unfussy, shared plate style isn’t reason enough to take first-time Charlotte visitors to this spacious NoDa staple: They’ll leave full on the bee pollen-drizzled honey cake and wanting to come back for a healthy dose of southern flavor." - Vox Creative
"Haberdish is like Barbra Streisand’s trophy room: it contains multitudes. This upscale Southern joint serves up dishes like fried chicken, BBQ ribs, grits, deviled eggs, hushpuppies, cheddar grits, and sweet potato dumplings, all plated on fine china with pretty garnishes. Come for brunch or dinner and order family-style, but first, start with a vermouth phosphate cocktail that will almost certainly leave you with a chocolate-cherry-foam mustache. Haberdish is in NoDa, which is where Charlotte’s textile industry began, and the restaurant’s exposed brick and wood beams fit right in. This place is always full, especially on weekends, so definitely book ahead." - Tess Allen
"Once there, try the updated Southern cooking (think seriously crispy hushpuppies with sweet tea butter) at Haberdish, where salvaged-denim booths recall the area’s textile-mill history."
