My sister and I decided to try out this restaurant and I’m glad we did. We went for their brunch. We were greeted warmly by the host Najay. He was funny and made sure we got the seating that we wanted. They had indoor and outdoor dining. The live music band was great. Our server was Lauro. He was great and ensured we had an awesome dining experience. We changed our seating from outside to inside because of the wind, and we asked him for a table that he was over. He had no issue with our change of seating. They have a brunch table with cookies, pasta salad, pickled salad, delicious chicken salad and pita; all was complimentary with our entrees. I had the deviled eggs and shrimp and grits. My sister had the chicken and waffles. All three dishes were excellent. I also got the mimosa jar with pineapple juice. It was huge, enough for 6 people. The service was so good, I asked for the manager. The manager Gary was awesome as well. Due to ambiance, service and food; we will definitely be back! Thank you to the Stir team for a great brunch!

Huge place with indoor and outdoor seating, good service, fresh seafood, affordable drinks. Some of the food dishes felt a little over-priced but it was a scratch kitchen so everything was super fresh. Some dishes like the July special volcano rolls and fish tacos were incredible and super flavorful but some dishes like the seafood chopped salad and tuna bowl were a bit bland/lacking a little something. Overall, enjoyed the ambiance, drinks, and seafood!

Stir was a very nice restaurant. I love hitting the city and feeling the vibe. Coming from NYC, I love embracing other cities and the energy that it is. Here at Stir, it felt really upscale while also down to earth and casual at the same time. The drink I was recommended to try was "The Road Less Traveled". If you're a person who drinks dark liquor, this drink will definitely satisfy you and if you're someone who likes mixed drinks, this will be a good selection for you as well. My fiancé got a pina colada that was just the right sweet. Our waitress for the night was Noelle who was utterly amazing. Very warm and friendly. She stayed on top of everything. This dinner was for my girlfriends birthday and because of her it was another happy birthday celebration for the books. The food was really good. I was already full from earlier so I tried to just get a salad but that wasnt the best choice because the salad was huge. I got the chicken salad with salmon added and it was a lot. Tasted wonderful, but something I definitely had to box up. I forgot what my fiance ordered but she enjoyed it, I know that much. Overall I do want to go back and would recommend anyone else to go, but only if they can get seated in Noelle's section 😊

Had an amazing experience at STIR Charlotte, thanks to David! From the moment we arrived, he was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and friendly. His attentiveness and great energy really made the dining experience even better. The vibe of the restaurant was perfect — stylish, upbeat, and comfortable. Whether you’re out for a casual meal or a special night, I’d highly recommend STIR any day, and definitely ask for David if you can — he’s the best! 👏🏽✨

It was an absolute pleasure to dine here tonight, and making a reservation a week in advance was a good call since they were quite busy. As a picky eater, I was impressed that everything was perfect - the steak was delicious and the cocktails were amazing. They had a great selection of whiskey for my husband and vodka for me, and we both enjoyed the mixed drinks. We will definitely be back with friends

My friend and I found ourselves in Charlotte for a concert our daughters were attending. While they were at the show, we had some time to kill—and what started as a mission for good food quickly turned into a search for great drinks too (with food still being a high priority, of course). We stumbled across a place called STIR, and let me just say—it did not disappoint. It was a Wednesday night, so the vibe was relaxed, not overly packed. We were warmly greeted at the door and then met our waiter, who let us know that everything in the kitchen was made fresh. That was music to my ears. I’d never tried raw oysters before, but I decided to ease in with the Char-Broiled Oysters—six perfectly cooked oysters topped with lemon, scampi butter, shallots, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan. They were delicious. My friend ordered the Steak Bao Sliders with soft bao buns, seared beef, soy glaze, carrots, and cucumber—also a hit. When it came to the main course, I was torn between a halibut dish and the filet with goat cheese ravioli. Our waiter recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad I took the suggestion. It was a fantastic choice. My friend went with the grilled salmon, which looked just as amazing as it tasted. The restaurant had a clean, modern atmosphere with great energy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our waiter became even more personable as the evening went on, and though we lingered at our table for a while, we never felt rushed—just relaxed and well taken care of. We also ordered a couple of cocktails—don’t remember the names, but trust me, the drink menu is solid. Great selections across the board. All in all, I’d absolutely recommend STIR to anyone looking for a well-rounded dining and drink experience in Charlotte. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying something new next time!

Noelle was a great host. She made sure everything came out perfect. Such a lovely brunch experience! Our host was warm, attentive, and made everyone feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious—thoughtfully prepared with great attention to detail. From the cozy atmosphere to the perfectly fresh ingredients, everything was top-notch. It was the perfect way to spend the morning. Thank you for such a memorable and welcoming brunch!

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to our server, Sale L. We came in late on the night of Saturday February 15 for my birthday after a car show. This wasn't an intentional pick for places to eat, but one of the only ones that we found that was still serving dinner. From the time we sat down, we were impressed. The atmosphere was "upscale" but warm and inviting. Our server, Sale was friendly, courteous, he served my 13- and 11-year-olds as though they were adults (which made them feel special). He was patient and even went the extra mile when the bar was out of Grenadine and brought the kids an alternative to a Shirley Temple instead of just saying they were out. The food came out in good timing. the Oyster Rockefeller was phenomenal, and my son's burger was HUGE! I just cannot say enough about how exceptional the service was. My kids and I kept commenting about it over dinner. So much so, that THEY even left an additional tip for him from their own money. 🤣 We didn't leave till shortly after they closed, but we were never made to feel like we were an inconvenience. Thank you so much for the amazing dining birthday experience!

We came in to enjoy some drinks and light food before a game and it was absolutely perfect! The crème brûlée and parmesan fries were delicious, along with the espresso martinis. Hank took great care of us and we will definitely come back because of the amazing service we received!!

My boyfriend and I came here on a whim on a random Monday for dinner and of course we were able to get sat right away with no reservation. We noticed it was warm inside so when asked about it, they mentioned how the a/c wasn't working which isn't their fault but I wish they mentioned that to us because we got sat. Our waitress came to greet and she was absolutely incredible the whole time with getting us ice water and validating my ticket without asking and much more!! I wish I remembered her name which I would come back because of her service. For appetizer, we got the peach and burrata which is seasonal and it tasted amazing with the combination but I wish the bread was a bit thicker. We got the lobster and shrimp mac and cheese to share which was good besides the fact that is was lemony which was very off putting. I got the spicy tuna bites to eat and the tuna was incredible and the toppings made the flavors mix together very well.

TLDR: avoid and go elsewhere. This was our second time here. The first time was terrible service, significantly long wait times for drinks and food. We came back a couple years later thinking maybe it would be better. Somehow it was worse. -It took 45 min to get our drinks. - one drink was a tap cocktail, 2 beers, and a wine. Literally just pouring liquid. - entrees came out maybe 5min after apps. Huge peeve of mine. - the 3 steaks ordered medium rare came out almost well done. Had to send back- came back barely improved. - manager came to ask how things were, Tom's him we were waiting on the new steaks bc the firsts were too done. Never came back to check on us afterwards. - beyond disappointed in every aspect. 100% not with the $100 meal. Would have loved to discloses these points with the manager but he magically disappeared. -0/10 recommend. Absolutely will not be back and will vehemently defer others from wasting their time and money here

3.5 stars. Stir is in a great location and super pretty-ish and vibey looking. The food was mostly just okay to me - but I can see why people frequent this place. I think this is a great option for date night or a casual dinner with friends. If you're a more picky eater who doesn't venture out too far or have a more "classic palette" - I think this is a good option for you. The halibut was good but I wasn't a fan of the breading/light frying of the fish. The farro was okay and the vegetables it included was a few pieces of precut carrots. My fries were mostly soggy though whatever that sauce was - was delicious. I tried the pornstar Martini and it was good but incredibly sweet. My husband enjoyed the chicken piccata dish. Overall nothing on the menu was bad - it just wasn't anything I'd write home about. Unfortunately I think they lose some points for service as well. From a frustrated bartender who wasn't helpful to our food taking over 45 mins to come out - the staff here could use some extra help and kindness. If you're in the area it's an okay option.

We had a business meal at STIR with 18 of us in attendance. The restaurant screwed up our reservation but pulled things together quickly and got all of us seated in a semi private room. The service was a bit slow but did a pretty good job keeping our glasses filled and food coming. Overall the food was spot on and the deserts were exceptional. I'm sure the service issues were just because they were not planning on such a big group...

Found this place off of yelp and we definitely recommend it! They have an expansive wine and bourbon list with many additional cocktails to chose from. We got the steak tip bowl and holy combination of flavors and textures! It hit every want and need you needed from a meal! The environment is very swanky and we had awesome service. Shout out to our waitress Jade who helped make the night seamless and had many great food recommendations!

Just like their sister location in Raleigh, STIR Charlotte was tasty and the vibe was right! The streaming music gives STIR a great ambiance, a TV in the bar was nice for game watching, the service was fast and friendly (thanks for figuring out a way to make me a hot toddy), and the bites are great. The baked oysters and crab bisque are not to be missed. The jackpot cocktail was an absolute crowd pleaser. Can't wait to return. Cheers!

First time at STIR, drinks were great! I love the concept with the ice, very unique. Would go back for the drinks and the drinks only. Food was okay. Went for restaurant week so got to try a few things. Tuna bites were good, nothing out of the water crazy though. Parm truffle fries plate was huge! Really yummy but a lot for two people. Tasted even better air fried the next day! Tuna poke bowl was yum. Leftovers the next day were even better. Heard the steak frites was good, looked like it was cooked well. Matcha cheesecake does not have a cheesecake consistency, didn't love it. I didn't try the chocolate cake but visual was underwhelming, didn't even take a photo. Small piece that wasn't evenly cut, with part of it being so thin it was see through, tossed on the plate. Service was good! Our server Chelsea was great 5/5!

Made a short notice reservation on a Saturday afternoon and was easily accommodated for an outside table. Seemed like the after brunch rush so the restaurant was empty. Bathroom wasn't terrible but still needed a little bit of tending. I believe they were also setting up the private room for a party. Wait staff was on the struggle bus though. Food came out slow. Only gave regular soy sauce with the tuna bites, I prefer low sodium as regular made them too salty. Had to request saucers or ramekins to put the sauce in which seems standard to me.

My friends and I had a pretty underwhelming/disappointing experience here. We arrived right at opening on Saturday for brunch after finishing up a road race and were excited to enjoy a delicious meal somewhere new. There were maybe 3 or 4 other parties but it was empty for the most part. Atmosphere/decor wise, it's very light, trendy, and chic, so definitely good ambiance overall. We were seated at a large booth and put our orders for drinks in first. We shared a mason jar mimosa and also got a spicy bloody mary. The mimosa was good but not chilled so I had to ask for a glass of ice. My friend's bloody took awhile to come out as well. And they did not serve it with extra olives as she had requested. We started with some broccolini appetizer and then for the entrees got an assortment of sandwiches, benedicts, and a scramble bowl. My friends also got some oysters that they enjoyed. That was probably their favorite part. The rest of the food took awhile to come out, considering it really wasn't that busy. On the bright side, the entrees did come with the small self-serve buffet at the center table - just an assortment of muffins, pastries, and light salads. I didn't get anything but my friends the tomato cucumber salad and some cheese/crackers. As far as the entrees go, definitely a let down in terms of flavor and plating. I had the breakfast sandwich and hashbrowns, and the bread was not toasted or buttered or anything - looked like it came straight out of the bag. They did cook it with the egg over easy instead of scrambled though which was nice. But other than that, just lacking in flavor. I should have asked for some hot sauce. My friend's lobster cake benedict was even more underwhelming. Plating wise, we couldn't even tell what it was at first and had forgotten what she ordered. The cakes were very small, and then the eggs and hollandaise were each in their own little saucers. Just a strange presentation that had us more confused than anything else. She felt the same about the taste as well. Overall, I want to say this place does have potential, but they need to improve their service (or at least speed) and fine tune the recipes a little more. I wouldn't be opposed to giving another chance, but I also wouldn't rush back before checking out some other spots.

I went here on a whim after work on a Thursday around 5pm . I was seated immediately and my server came right away . The oysters are fresh and delicious! My drink was the rose cocktail, to me it tastes like December lol like a Christmas cocktail. I think it's the peppercorn that they put on top . Nonetheless I will be back to Stir !!!

My husband and I ordered so much food and all of it was good. The seasonings was in point! Staff were attentive and helpful with advice on the menu. We went during the day so it wasn't super packed. I like that there is outdoor seating for when the weather is warm. It's very spacious and lots of seatings. While there, I saw a large party celebrating a baby shower so it's nice to see you can reserve a large section for a big party.

Wow. Amazing experience. Server was outstanding and drinks were super tasty. My dish was one of the best I've had in a while, both filling and tasty without being too saucy. Everything was wonderfully done, presented, and finished. Very impressed.

Despite being a chain, Stir is one of my favorite places to eat in Charlotte. It is my go to when I want a good meal and know I will not be disappointed. I always get the chicken picatta which is served over farro. I love the pairing and the flavors are awesome.

STIR was a cute atmosphere and the bartenders were friendly! I highly recommend the Queen City Sour, this drink was delicious and only one was needed! The perfect thing to sip on. The Spicy Tuna Bites were good but wouldn't be my first choice when going back. I would love these with crispy rice instead of the cold rice that is served with it.

Had an amazing time at this place with amazing people the vibe was what you'd expect for a Friday evening. Inside is really open but I thought they had too many high top tables for my preference. I enjoyed myself. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful.. Top tier! Ordered the Colossal Tiger Shrimp Cocktail, steak frites, burger and. They were all so tasty and filling. The drinks were pretty but I wished they were a little stronger. I can't wait to go back!

The food was excellent here. They have a breakfast bar that you can choose various side dishes from to eat while you wait or eat with your meal. I had the steak frites, eggs and fries. I also added a side order of grits that were delicious. All the food was really good. My sister had the crab cakes, they were delicious as well. The service was nice. Our waitress, Jade, was incredible. She was extremely helpful, kind and exceeded our normal dining experience. The location looked very inviting, there was a live band, outdoor seating and the restaurant was very big and spacious on the inside. I would definitely dine here again. Also the prices seemed more than fair.

Came here to celebrate my husbands birthday around 3pm! The restaurant is very open and spacious, with decor that's romantic enough for an intimate outing but also fine for a more casual dining experience. We went on a Wednesday afternoon so the restaurant was not busy. Our server was nice, food came out quickly and correctly and tasted great! The crab cakes were full of meat and had a fresh taste to them. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, while my husband had the steak frites. Everything was really flavorful! This restaurant is definitely one I would recommend or return back to if in the area. The only downside to our visit were the drinks we ordered. Both were mostly filled with ice and not worth the price in my opinion!

So I went to STIR Charlotte today for lunch and normally I enjoy everything. I usually get the Chicken Piccata and I ordered it today but when I was half way done I noticed that some parts of the chicken wasn't done. I told the server about and let him know know that I would still pay for it although I didn't eat the entire entree. He did nothing about it, no manger came over and spoke with me, nothing. Although I said I will still pay for it, it would've been nice to have someone come acknowledge the issue. For that I am a bit disappointed.

Nice place for brunch. The omelette I had was really tasty and the breakfast potatoes were top notch. I am a breakfast potato snob, so that is saying something. My friends had the deviled eggs app and really enjoyed it. Service was good and liked that they had a good sized space for outdoor dining with heat lamps and such. They have a little buffet inside with pastries and salads if you order a brunch entree which was a nice touch.

We've been here multiple times with varying results. Some times good, some times bad, yesterday was just awful unfortunately. My wife had the seafood salad, got food poisoning,. I had the chophouse burger, was old meat so they just seasoned it to no end, chunks of salt in it, was really tough to eat, barely got halfway through it. Ordered a Cadillac margarita, came in a coup and it was $22. Overall rough experience. Disappointing.

So I'm kinda new to Charlotte. I've visited several times over the years but never really had time to explore any places to eat other than what was offered Uptown. Now that I live here I rely on recommendation. Stir was easy to find. I lucked up and got a parking spot in front but there is a garage next to it. (Sidenote : The sever offered to validate our parking) The place wasn't that busy on a Wednesday evening. The ambience was low key and the interior was nice. The hostess and server were very pleasant and the manager checked on us during the meal and spoke to us on the way out. The have a raw oyster bar. I chose the roasted oysters and OMG they were so flavorful!...As you can tell from my picture I got so excited I didn't remember to take a picture until I only had one left. The only downside is they were small. I almost ordered another one. Yes they were that good My entree was the Steak Fritas. I ordered them medium and they were delicious. Overall a good dinning experience.

Took a bit to find. There was no wait for my group and we went during the week! The food was delicious, two of my friends sent their meals back because things were under cooked but the manager was great in Getting everything resolved for them. They also validated my parking, one of my friends did have issue with validating. I would definitely go back!

This is the first time that I been to this place it is a good atmosphere. Would mention during this time of year it is warmer to sit by the front door. The service was great Brandon took great care of us and was very tentative to what we needed. The food as good I would say if you order the steak frtias make sure that you get the eggs on a separate dish as the medium rare steak juice (blood) was on the eggs.

Second time here, for restaurant week's dinner on a weekend. The pre fixe menu was $35pp with three course: appetizer, entree, and a dessert. Ordered oysters for appetizer, it was great. My friend got steak for entree and it was okay-ish; the fries were overcooked. The dessert was okay as well, as the cake itself was good but the decorative strawberry had a weird taste. Our server was very nice. Since the table was small, he came quite often to take away the finished plates to make room for others. My first time here was for brunch. I would recommend brunch over dinner. Also they offer parking validation to RailYard garage - a nice addition to the meal.

Huge fan of STIR! I went for brunch over the weekend and had an exceptional experience. If you're looking for a fun beverage, don't skip out on the mason jar mimosa -- it's great fun for a group! I tried the waffles, which were delicious and a great brunch choice. I also heard from my brunch partner that the breakfast burger was a hit! Would definitely recommend trying either of these options, but I can't imagine anything at STIR wouldn't be phenomenal! The service was great as well. I'd recommend asking your server about the artisanal ice selection -- ours even brought some out to us for viewing! We went on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy at all.

We really enjoyed STIR Charlotte! The decor and restaurant were set up so nicely. It was a chill Sunday night and service was excellent. The food was great! Samosas - 8/10. Full of flavor. Oysters were nice and fresh! The cheeseburger egg rolls were about a 7/10. The cheeseburger was juicy and delish! Also the asparagus was seasoned perfect. 8/10. A glass of wine and a shot to end the night. Great restaurant!

Always a go-to for us, and this time it was made even better by a new server, Lauro. The food is always fantastic, craft seasonal cocktails provide something new to try and the vibe is all about happy people and fun. Lauro is new but was so attentive to detail, very personable, knew the menu details well and made some great suggestions! We'll return again and again!

I really enjoyed our visit to STIR. The parking garage is just a short walk away. And the restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking. We made a reservation for prime brunch time (Sunday afternoon), but arrived early. They were able to sit us outside on the patio right away. To start, they offered a complimentary trio-styled appetizer. It was an interesting assortment of foods but we enjoyed them all. I ordered a cranberry mimosa during this visit. It was really good, but my friend's pineapple mimosa was amazing. For my entree, I ordered the chicken and waffles. It was delicious! The chicken had an extra little kick. The shrimp and grits were also a great choice and they were generous with the shrimp. Extra notes: The hostess and our server were very friendly and attentive. The Food & drinks delivered quickly. The patio is pet-friendly. I'll definitely be back for another visit.

SANITATION RATING IS 90.5 Came in last night (2/21/25) for my birthday dinner... ordered oysters among other menu items. and in the early morning of 2/22/25, i woke up aggressively projectile vomiting from 4 am - this current moment while I write this review (7:58pm) I was the only one who ate the oysters, which gave me food poisoning. I see there is another review left in their good reviews, from 3 weeks ago, with someone posting a picture of a literal parasite in one of their oysters. No wonder I'm aggressively sick, and missing my surprise birthday party this afternoon. Oh and their sanitation rating was a 90.5....... should have been my very first sign to turn around and walk out before I even sat down. Will not be back to this establishment or recommend this restaurant to anyone ever again.

Really wanted to like this place more. What was good: our server was super sweet, the ambiance is not bad, location good. What wasn't: super slow service even though the place didn't appear hectic as it was towards end of brunch service; plating and portions (see image, this is how it arrived to the table before I ate anything), glasses weren't dried before making it to our table. If you're gonna charge the prices you charge (upwards of $20 an entree) your walk needs to match your talk. Again, servers were wonderful, likely these were all management issues.

Was extremely impressed with the process behind Stir's old fashioned. I've never seen an ice press in person before which the bartender hand crafted the drink right at the bar - very cool. The sphere fit perfectly in my very well made drink - unfortunately didn't have time to eat but will definitely be back due to the great drinks and awesome vibes in there. Bar area itself was beautiful

Recently moved to Charlotte and have been exploring as much as we can! Checked out STIR yesterday and had a nice experience! We were able to snatch street parking but otherwise there doesn't seem to be a lot. Our server, lucy, was very friendly and helpful! The drink menu has a good variety, and it looks like there's something for everyone. We tried Flower Power and Moonchild, which were both great! We started out with the steak bao buns for our appetizer, and they were delicious although the steak was a little on the salty side. For our entrees, I got the sesame steak bowl while my boyfriend got the Stir steakhouse burger. The steak bowl was a little bit salty, similar to the bao bun although my boyfriend said the burger was the best he's had in his life. The atmosphere was modern and clean, and I was happy to see a nice patio area for outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend and come by again!

Our server was very friendly and made sure my husband had a great birthday dinner. Just be careful when you order a bottle of wine because if they don't have the one you order off the menu they just replace it with something close. We realized the Bordeaux we ordered actually came out as a Merlot, but our server was happy to exchange it for another one of our choosing.

Eh. Food looked better than it tasted. Drinks were strong. Probably wouldn't return because food quality didn't align with price.

STIR is a restaurant I love to go to. I often suggest it for get togethers, especially if people have never been. I also like to go there for special occasions or when friends are visiting from other cities. It's a spacious and modern place and does have outdoor seating. It can get crowded, so if you're trying to go on the weekend or popular weeknight, I suggest making a reservation. You can park on the street if you can find a spot, but I usually park in the RailYard deck behind the restaurant that supports the complex. I do believe they validate parking for a couple of hours but check to see before you go. There are a variety of options to choose from. My personal favorite is the Scallop and Shrimp White Cheddar Mac & Cheese. This is saying something because I usually don't like most melted cheese. I also usually don't get seafood blackened, but they said this was better that way the first time I tried it, and it was delicious. I get it this way all the time now. This portion size is large, so you may have enough to take home. I also had the wedge salad which was good. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, and I've honestly never been with anyone who didn't. Other dishes people tried were the STIR Steakhouse Burger and the Caesar Salad chicken. Our drinks were good too. All in all, I strongly recommend!

Yum!! I had been wanting to try stir for awhile now and finally got around to it. We had the samosas for an appetizer and they were so so good! I had the tillamook burger for dinner & it was the perfect amount of flavor and the French fries were perfection. It wasn't super busy and we went on a Monday night. We made a reservation beforehand just to be sure!! ALSO, if you're an ice kinda gal..they have the ice nuggets here, which made my review even higher. Must try!!

The great service really set this spot apart. Our server was extremely personable and helpful in helping us make our dinner choices. Highly recommend starting your meal off with the delicious lobster crab cakes and one of their cocktails! I love a good chopped salad and this light, fresh seafood chop salad hit the spot. My boyfriend also really enjoyed his steak and recommends upgrading to the truffle fries. Lastly, the ambience of the restaurant is perfect for a casual date night for dinner and drinks. Its modern feel and low lighting creates the perfect atmosphere. P.S. park in the attached parking garage and bring your parking ticket to be validated by Stir for 2 free hours!
