The Penguin - 1531 East Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28203 I ordered off of the expanded menu that they created. 5 bone in ribs with a side of fries. The ribs were slow cooked, which made them tender, but the meat can use some marinating. If it wasn't for the barbecue sauce the ribs would not have any flavor. The fries were hot, crispy and Lightly seasoned. Dunked those bad boys in some sauce. 🤤 I ordered a Blackberry Ginger Smash (non- alcoholic) Blackberries, lemon juice, ginger, orange juice, and topped with ginger beer. This drink was so good I've tried to duplicate it at home. I also tried an onion ring from a tower that was ordered. The batter used for the onion rings needs some one to stock their foot in it. 😉 I would love to return to try other menu items. #GratuityAdded #charlottesgotalot #FreedomPark #Dilworth #ThePenguin #CLTBeerGarden #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #MukbangCLT #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #MyRib #charlottefood #ThePenguinClt #Eclipse24 #grabandgoCLT #seatedeatsCLT #cltfoodie #ThePenguin #OfflineCLT #keeppounding #charlotteeats #eatdrinkclt #charlottefoodscene #Charlottesgotalot #CLTGrads #charlottefoodies #cltagenda

I went to check out the hype around #DirtyBirdz on Graham. #GrahamStreetStation 1. Buffalo - Robust sauce, fried Hard, was my favorite of the order. 2. ??? - I believe I ordered teriyaki but this could also be Cajun Barbecue. Either way they were good. Hot, fresh, and crispy. 3. Hot Lemon Pepper - I really dislike breaded wings. The flavoring wasn't hot to me and the breading was very thick and soggy. 4. Fries - Overcooked. The season sprinkled on them was good, but they were cooked too long. There are other flavors I would try.......as long as the wings aren't breaded. #GratuityAdded #charlottesgotalot #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #CLTNewEats #charlottefood #leapyear #Eclipse24 #cltfoodie #foodie #keeppounding #charlotteeats #eatdrinkclt #NewEats #instafood #charlottefoodscene #MayDay #springtime #CampNorthEnd #charlottefoodies #cltagenda #allflats #alldrums #orderup

Nothing tops a good old fashion thin crust pizza. The sauce is rich, the cheese is silky, and the Italian sausage is authentic.

Char- grilled wings and a side of tater tots. I was satisfied. The wings were charred with a spicy BBQ sauce. I loved the fact that they were moist and not dried out The tater tots were soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I dunked them in a side of buffalo sauce. #VGBG food has come a very long way. I'll return to try other items.

Working on a Sunday looking for a quick bite to eat. 🥺 I've heard of #ViciousBiscuit and was let down by my meal. I ordered the Hen Solo (Buttermilk biscuit, crispy fried chicken breast). The biscuit was hard and very dry. The chicken breast was heavily breaded and overcooked. At least the potatoes were good. Crispy outside and soft insides. At some point I will have a do over. #GratuityAdded #charlottesgotalot #Arboretum #chickenbreakfast #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #MukbangCLT #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #CLTNewEats #charlottebiscuits #charlottefood #leapyear #Eclipse24 #grabandgoCLT #cltfoodie #foodie #cltbiscuit #keeppounding #charlotteeats #eatdrinkclt #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #springtime #charlottefoodies #cltagenda

Last minute dinner ideas landed me at Fushing Chinese Restaurant in Harrisburg, NC. Quick review.......the fried rice wasn't drenched in grease....which is a plus. The wings had that first bite crunch and were fresh out the fryer. The shrimp egg roll was the icing on the cake, packed with a lot of egg roll filling. If in the area again...which more than likely I will be......I'll try other items. #GratuityAdded #chinesefood #food #foodie #instafood #foodstagram #foodblogger #chinese #keeppounding #asianfood #foodlover #noodles #friedrice #chinesecuisine #foodies #Fushing #Cabarruss #chickenwings #HarrisburgEats #foodiesofinstagram #cltfc #indianfood #china #foodpics #dumplings #HarrisburgNC #nextdoor #CLTeats #charlottehornets #eggrolls

Entering The Flying Biscuit Cafe felt like stepping into a cozy haven, where the anticipation of a delightful brunch experience came to mind. As I took my first bite of the French toast, it was as if I was tasting a cloud – airy, light, and delicately sweet. The raspberry sauce drizzled atop, accompanied by a dollop of creamy goodness, elevated each forkful into a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. True to its name, The Flying Biscuit did not disappoint in the biscuit department. Each golden-brown creation was a masterpiece of flakiness and warmth. Pairing it with a generous swirl of raspberry sauce only enhanced its already divine taste, leaving me in culinary bliss. However, the steak failed to meet my expectations. It seemed lacking in flavor, as if it hadn't been given the chance to truly marinate and develop its potential. The absence of seasoning left it feeling underwhelming, despite its promising appearance. On the bright side, the eggs provided a comforting contrast with their soft, velvety texture, adding a touch of familiarity to the meal. To complement the feast, I opted for a Blueberry Lemonade Mimosa, a refreshing concoction that perfectly balanced the tanginess of blueberries with the zesty kick of lemonade. It was the ideal accompaniment to my brunch adventure, leaving me thoroughly satisfied and ready to face the day ahead. #GratuityAdded #charlottesgotalot #MatthewsNC #MatthewsEats #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #OfflineClt #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #CLTNewEats #charlottefood #leapyear #Eclipse24 #exploreMatthews #cltfoodie #foodie #keeppounding #charlotteeats #eatdrinkclt #OfflineCharlotte #TheFlyingBiscuit #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #springtime #charlottefoodies #cltagenda

Stopped in at The Goodwurst Co on my way to work. I ordered a egg and bacon bagel as well as a House Made Bratwurst. The egg and bacon bagel was really good and I love the way the bagel was toasted and buttered. And of course they fried my egg hard without even asking and that earned some points. I wasn't a fan of the house made bratwurst. I ordered it on a regular bun with chili only. The chili was good but the bratwurst was flavorless. #GratuityAdded That's it ...... that's the post. #TheGoodWurstCo #charlottesgotalot #supportlocal #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #OfflineClt #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #CLTNewEats #charlottefood #leapyear #cltfood #cltfoodie #foodie #keeppounding #charlotteeats #eatdrinkclt #OfflineCharlotte #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #springtime #charlottefoodies #sugarcreek #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda

Checking out Jive Turkey Hut and ordered a stuffed Turkey Leg With Stuffed Cajun rice soaked in hot honey sauce (yes I know, the leg wasn't stuffed🥺). I also ordered a side of collard greens The bad: the collard greens were nasty. The turkey meat in the greens were dried out and flavorless. The greens also had a sweet taste to them. (Say no to sugar in greens 😉) The Cajun rice with the hot honey sauce was delicious. I made it better with a sprinkle of pepper. The Turkey legs lives up to the hype. Smoked, tender, easy to pull apart....all the boxes checked. I will have to return to try the drinks and other items. #GratuityAdded #JiveTurkeyHut #charlottesgotalot #supportlocal #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #NewEats #charlottefood #leapyear #cltfood #cltfoodie #foodie #keeppounding #charlotteeats #turkeylegs #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #cltwings #charlottefoodies #stuffit #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda

Plain and simple scrambled eggs, hand cut home fries and a biscuit. I didn't like the home fries. They just weren't flavorful. There was some homemade berry jam that was really good that I used on the biscuit. The eggs were light and fluffy.

Offline Charlotte took me to Vortex Bottle Shop located in Harrisburg. I tried the Buffalo Vortex Wings. They do not fry anything. The wings were oven roasted and the were really good. Nice crispy skin and a robust buffalo flavor. I would definitely order wings from here again. I also tried the Blackened Shrimp and Artichoke Dip. It came with toasted slices of crostini. The flavor was boosted by roasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. I really enjoyed this dish. So Vortex Bottle shop has a variety of wines and beers that you can try. I didn't partake in any bottles, due to engagements afterwards. From the atmosphere and the food and the great vibe, I will definitely return for a second experience. Check them out. #GratuityAdded #VortexBottleShop #charlottesgotalot #OfflineCharlotte #harrisburgNC #artichokedip #supportlocal #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #NewEats #charlottefood #leapyear #cltfood #cltfoodie #foodie #charlotteeats #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #ladiesnight #cltwings #charlottefoodies #cltwine #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda

Bjs Restaurant & Brewhouse did not disappoint. I order. The tri-tip and ribs entree. I selected the baked potato and roasted asparagus as my sides. The tri-tip was slow roasted and seasoned with a peppered BBQ sauce, medium cooked of course. The ribs were pull apart done and also slathered with the peppered BBQ sauce. I used just butter, salt and pepper on my baked potato. The asparagus was crispy, really good. Fyi.... asparagus is overcooked if it's too bendy. They have a wide variety of drinks and beers to choose from. It was my birthday so I was provided with shots all night from my party. I'll definitely return. There are so many other things that I want to try. #GratuityAdded #ConcordMills #charlottesgotalot #CltBBQ #cltdinner #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow #bjsresturantandbrewhouse #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #NewEats #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #foodie #charlotteeats #charlottefoodscene #brewhouse #cltfoodbloggers #CamNewton #charlottefoodies #BBQLovers #meatlovers #CLTDateNight #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda #concordeats

Just walking up to the doors at @TheImproperPig had my mouth salivating. Of course I ordered the BBQ Charcuterie Plate. Here is my 2 cents. The Pulled pork was very tender. Although it was a little bland in taste, the spicy hoisin sauce peeled that baby right out. The Brisket had a sweet brown sugar taste to it. I mixed the pickled red onions with the brisket and the flavor really popped. I didn't really care too much for the House chips. Think of  salt and vinegar chips that have been kettle cooked. OMG the Ribs. Great smokey flavor from the moment my teeth hit the ribs. I wish they were thicker but the Ribs were the best thing on the plate. The Sausage was banging also. There was a spicy after kick, which I loved. I also like the fact that the casing was crispy. The Hush puppies were crunchy on the outside, and soft on the  inside. I enjoyed the sweet butter drizzled on top. #TheImproperPig is definitely one of Charlotte's top Barbecue restaurants. I'll definitely return. #Gratuityadded #ReaRoad  #charlottesgotalot #CltBBQ #OfflineCLT #BBQCharcuterie #cltdinner #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow #CharcuterieIdeas #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt  #NewEats  #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie  #Ballentyne #foodie #charlotteeats  #charlottefoodscene    #cltfoodbloggers  #charlottefoodies #BBQLovers #meatlovers #CLTDateNight #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda

Met up with the crew for some lunch at Sushi Hana (1515 S Tryon St). Now, I'm not a big #sushi eater and pretty much eat California rolls. (I'm trying🤓). The California rolls was really good of course. They make it as you order. Really fresh tasting and looking. The AYCE lunch is $18.99 and you can order 2 sides at a time. Side 1 was the steak hibachi with rice. This was so awesome. Tenderized steak bites with all the hibachi trimmings. Side 2....the chicken wings. Very crispy bite to them, which is good. It came with a dipping sauce (which I did not try). The wings were seasoned just fine to me. I also tried the fried shumi. It was great as well.

Decided to indulge in some doughnuts while in the area, so I swung by Pepperbox Doughnuts at 2810 North Davidson St in Charlotte. Although the texture wasn't as soft as I prefer, the unique flavors elevated the experience. The Pinot Noir with warm spices had a mysterious spice blend that intrigued me, and despite it not being my top choice, the pairing with Pinot Noir was interesting. The standout was the strawberry doughnut. The rich strawberry icing, with what seemed like real bits of strawberry, made it my favorite. The Lemon Poppy Seed doughnut was a delight too. The bold lemon glazing added a refreshing twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. #Gratuityadded #PepperBox #instafood #NewEats #foodlover #foodblogger #vegansofcharlotte #sweettooth #foodiesofinstagram #cltvegans #supportlocal #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #goodeats #NoDaEats #CapricornsUnite #doughnuts #OfflineCLT #dounts #PepperboxDoughnuts #exploreNoDa #sweettreats

Rushing to work, I dialed in an order at the recently opened spot, Tasty. I opted for the breakfast bowl with a side of oatmeal and added some delectable salmon. The salmon exceeded expectations – tender, impeccably seasoned, with a delightful crispy top layer. Diving into the bowl, it was a medley of flavors – potatoes, turkey bacon, fried eggs, red peppers, red onions, and chorizo. While the turkey bacon could use a touch more cooking, the homestyle potatoes harmonized perfectly with the chorizo. The oatmeal, though thick, leaned towards the less sweet side, requiring a pinch of sugar and a lighter sprinkle of cinnamon. Despite minor tweaks, I'm eager to revisit and explore other items on the menu. (3826 S New Hope Rd, Gastonia.

I created my own pizza. Red sauce, topped with ground beef, sausage, red peppers ( I asked for red onions tho), pineapple, fresh basil and fresh mozzarella. Once I scooped out the peppers, the pizza tasted really good. I liked the softness of the bread and the way all the ingredients came together. I also ordered a side of barbalo wings. Although I don't like breaded wings, I actually enjoyed these. The breading had a crunch to the skin, which made me enjoy them. The barbalo sauce was okay. I wish it had a little kick to it. #Gratuityadded #pizza #thepizzapeelandtaproom #pizzalover #foodie #pizzatime #instafood #eatdrinkclt #explorecharlotte #italianfood #pizzapeel #pasta #pizzeria #foodblogger  #foodlover #plazamidwood #foodstagram #delicious #pizzaria #instagood #cltwings #offlinecharlotte #dinner #pizzagram #charlottesgotalot #clteats #cltfoodie #supportlocal

Top Taste Grill located at 5945 Wilkinson Blvd, Belmont, NC 28012. The Red beans and rice were really good. Just needed a pinch of salt. This was the first time I tasted yams like theirs. They had kind of a Hawaiian sweet taste to it. They weren't drowned in syrup and brown sugar. In other words they were really really good. Now for the main attraction, the jerk season. The chicken was the perfect blend of jerk seasoning and tenderized meat. My order came with a cup of there jerk sauce. I poured it on the rice and beans and the jerk chicken and my taste buds exploded. I will most definitely return to this establishment. #GratuityAdded   #TopTasteGrill #instafood #JamaicanEats  #charlottesgotalot #foodlover #foodblogger #GastonEats #GastoniaEats #BelmontEats  #foodiesofinstagram #CLTNYE #supportlocal #foodiesofclt #charlottefood #cltfoodies #BelmontGotALot #jerkchicken #followforafollow #JamaicanCulture #charlottesgotalot #neweats #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #goodeats #exploregastoncounty #CaribbeanFood

Nothing is more southern than pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy and a side of buttered corn......and Mattie's Diner provided a flavorful reminder. There butter had just the right amount of corn added to it. 😉 The mashed potatoes were creamy and served hot and fresh. I really loved the gravy.  Beefy tasting. The main attraction, the pot roast of course, was very tender. Of course I asked for a side of gravy to pour on top. The gravy took the pot roast from a 7 to a 10.  #GratuityAdded  Mattie's Diner offers a lot more on the menu and I will return to try other items.   #MattiesDiner #instafood #comfortfood #southerneats #charlottesgotalot #foodlover #foodblogger #dinerfood #samanddean #ThePlaza #foodiesofinstagram  #CLTNYE  #supportlocal #foodiesofclt  #charlottefood #cltfoodies #charlotte #clteats #queencity  #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot  #charlottefoodscene #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #goodeats #southerncooking #cltlateeats

The Wings 1. Hot Lemon Pepper The Lemon pepper seasoning on the wings were good and they added a layer or red sauce on top to make them hot. To me, the wings could have been hotter and I also didn't like the red sauce. 2. Old Bay Hot The best of the 4 I tried. Again, I need a little more hotness added to all hot flavors.  3. Cajun I could not taste the Cajun spices on this wing.  4. Honey BBQ There was a lot of honey in the sauce and little to no BBQ sauce. This was too sweet for me. The Business DrumsVsFlats is a new food truck. I visited them went they were posted in the University Area. I don't know if this is normal for them or not but it took about 75 minutes to get my order. I need to try the other flavors to fully make up my mind. #GratuityAdded  #chickenwings  #friedhard #instafood #friedchicken #foodtruck #charlottesgotalot #DrumsVsFlats  #foodlover #foodblogger #buffalowings #lemonpepper #foodiesofinstagram  #foodtruckclt  #cltfoodtrucks  #CLTNYE  #supportlocal #blackowned  #foodiesofclt  #charlottefood #cltfoodies #charlotte #clteats #queencity  #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot  #charlottefoodscene #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt

Ray's Country Smokehouse fails to impress with lackluster offerings. From the unseasoned fries to the bland baked beans. There were pieces of brisket in the beans but I still didn't enjoy them. The brisket, a potential star, disappoints with dryness. A watery vinegar-based sauce attempts to salvage the flavor, but even its bland taste fails to elevate the overall experience. #GratuityAdded #FollowMe #CulinaryCritique #CLTFoodie #FlavorfulFinds  #704Eats #GastonEats #Smokehouse #BBQ #GastoniaEats #QueenCityCuisine #Mukbang #exploreCharlotte  #FoodCritic #EatDrinkCLT #CLTEats #704Foodie    #SavorCharlotte #Foodreview #CLTfoodexplorer #UFC296 #KeepPounding #MunchieMondays  #QueenCity  #HighontheHog  #victorymonda

Upon hearing positive reviews, I decided to give Godfather's Pizza a try. Initially, the pizza appeared slightly overdone, but to my relief, it wasn't. Opting for a pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza with red onions, the combination was delightful, though I had to search for the pepperoni. The red onions added a flavorful punch to the sauce, and the pizza featured the perfect balance of sauce, melty mozzarella, all atop a soft, spongy crust – just the way I prefer. To complement my meal, I ordered buffalo wings. They were reminiscent of 7-11 wings. While enjoyable, I wished for a crisper skin. The buffalo flavor, however, was exceptional. Despite the minor critique, I would gladly return to explore other offerings on the menu. #GratuityAdded #CulinaryCritique #CLTFoodie #FlavorfulFinds #704Eats #QCFinds #CharlotteEats #GodfathersPizza #QueenCityCuisine #Pizza #exploreCharlotte #CharlotteBites #EatDrinkCLT #CLTEats #704Foodie #CLTFoodScene #SavorCharlotte #CLTfoodexplorer #CharlottesGotALot #QueenCity #pizzalove #italian #mozzarella #instapizza #pizzaitaliana

Of course I couldn't resist sampling the fried chicken ensemble, showcasing the impeccable marriage of marination and expertly crisped textures across the breast, leg, and thigh. It's a challenge for some to fry a breast without drying it out. The lackluster flavor of the biscuit was brought to life with the bartender's generous drizzle of honey. 😉 While the top layer proved a tad hard, the remainder exuded a lightness and fluffiness. The smashed potato and gravy dish, though inherently commendable, encountered a setback as the accompanying side arrived cold, deducting points from its overall appeal. The coleslaw escaped my palate. 🤷🏾‍♀️ The Gochujang Brussels Sprouts emerged as a highlight, featuring tender sprouts enrobed in a tantalizingly tangy sauce. As a pro tip, reservations are strongly advised for Friday or Saturday night excursions. #GratuityAdded  #CulinaryCritique #CLTFoodie #FlavorfulFinds  #704Eats #QCFinds #CharlotteEats #QueenCityCuisine #CLTFoodie #exploreCharlotte #CulinaryDropout #CharlotteBites  #EatDrinkCLT #CLTEats #704Foodie #CLTFoodScene    #SavorCharlotte #UptownEats #CLTfoodexplorer  #SundayDinner #CharlottesGotALot #QueenCity #FriedDishes #LiveMusic #CLTNewEats

Yesterday's culinary exploration led me to  BTJ Wings in Gastonia (1328 E Franklin Blvd). Opting for the 2pc whiting and wings combo was a decision that unfolded a symphony of flavors on my palate. The whiting, deserving of an unequivocal five stars, showcased culinary prowess with a perfect fusion of seasoning and expert frying. A dish that resonates with aficionados of impeccably prepared, succulent fish. Delving into the wings, ordered with a mild flavor, proved to be a delectable experience in its own right. However, I dare say, a tad more crispiness would elevate them to unparalleled heights. As for the accompanying fries, they adhered to the archetype of standard restaurant fare, bereft of seasoning. A polite word of advice: summon the shakers of salt and pepper to awaken these unassuming spuds. Anticipation lingers in the air as my taste buds yearn to explore the depths of BTJ Wings' diverse menu. The culinary journey has just begun, and I eagerly await the next chapter of flavors that this establishment has to offer. #Gratuityadded  #CulinaryCritique #TasteMastery #BTJ #DiningDiaries  #FishFry #FoodieFinesse #SavorTheFlavors #EatsAndTreats #TastingNotes #CLTFoodie  #SatisfyingCravings #cltfoodies #FlavorfulFinds #704Eats #fallflavors #trythis #happyday #GastoniaEats #Flavors #ExploreGastonia  #GastoniaFoodScene #GastoniaFoodie  #704Eats  #follow4followback #Gastonia #FoodJourney #QCFinds #FoodAdventures  #Hangry

For years, I've been passing by this restaurant, and at last, I made the decision to step inside. The Mashed Potatoes, bathed in a delectable golden gravy, were an exquisite treat. The potatoes were luxuriously thick, and the gravy was simply divine. The Potato Wedges evoked a wonderful sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the wedges I used to savor from that beloved country corner store back home. They boasted a crispy skin and a delicate sprinkling of salt. As for the Chicken, it was fried to perfection, although it lacked a touch of seasoning before cooking. Nevertheless, it still managed to impress with its crispy, crunchy skin and succulent juiciness. Just a word of advice: BYOS (Bring Your Own Seasoning) or don't hesitate to ask for some extra flavor. 😉. #gratuityadded #foodstagram #Concord #concordnc #clteats #foodblogger #foodiesofinstagram #caseofthetuesdays #foodlover #mrcs #charlottefoodie #cltfoodie #clt #keeppounding #comfortfood #falltime #itriedit #fryitup #yellow #gravy #pumpkinspice #cornmaze #neweats #hangry

I selected a delectable grit bowl, complete with a cooked egg and a savory salmon patty of my choice. In my enthusiasm for salmon patties, I couldn't resist ordering an extra one. The grits, once adorned with a generous dollop of butter and a pinch of salt, achieved perfection. However, I found myself yearning for more eggs; typically, I indulge in three scrambled eggs. The salmon patties, though, stole the show with their abundant flavors that reached their pinnacle when dipped into the creamy grits. I contemplated indulging in a slice of cake, but to my surprise, the sole flavor option available was pumpkin spice. I'd recommend checking out this establishment when you find yourself in Gastonia. #gratuityadded #Salmon #fannie #breakfast #foodie #salmonpatties #pumpkinspice #pronouncetheL #foodstagram #gastonia #gastonianc #clteats #gastoncounty #foodblogger #FannieCakesCafe #foodiesofinstagram  #foodlover #winningwednesday #charlottefoodie #cltfoodie, #clt #charlotte #keeppounding #gashouse #comfortfood #falltime #itriedit

Finally made it to this establishment. Two pieces of fried chicken along with mashed potatoes and gravy and yams. The Mashed Potatoes and Gravy were so creamy that my fork easily sliced right through them, and the gravy boosted the flavor of the dish. I really loved the fact that the yams weren't drenched in thick brown sugar syrup. It was just enough butter and brown sugar to bring out the natural taste of a yam. The main dish of course was the fried chicken. The first bit sunk my teeth into a crispy layer of skin, then the juicy meat. Each chew released the seasoning that was cooked into the thigh and leg. I will most definitely will return to try other dishes. #gratuityadded #friedchicken #chicken #foodie #food  #foodstagram #gastonia #gastonianc #clteats #gastoncounty #foodblogger #gravy #yams #foodiesofinstagram #soulfood  #foodlover #keeppounding #blackowned #gashouse #mashedpotatoes #comfortfood #falltime #photooftheday #instadaily #likeforlikes #picoftheday #yelp  #followforfollowback  #followme

I actually liked these considering how I don't like Philly cheese steals and mustard. The egg roll crust provides a crispy crunch, while the cheese mixture kept the egg roll from drying out while frying. CHEF’S DAILY SOUP The Clam chowder soup was delicious. The only thing that I recommend is that they don't put so many scallions in the dish. It made the soup crunchy. FILET & SHRIMP My main dish consisted of a Bacon-wrapped steak tenderloin, topped with shrimp basted in Key lime butter, and a side of potatoes au gratin. Now.... I should have asked but I wasn't thinking about the potato dish being made with Cheddar cheese. Not a fan of Cheddar cheese. I ended up giving this dish away. My fault. I ordered my steak fillet medium. The steak was juicy and tender and didn't need any type of sauce. The bacon that was wrapped around it could have been cooked a little bit longer for me. Also, I am a key lime fan but wasn't a fan of the key lime butter sauce that the shrimp was soaked in. I would probably return to #Firebird's in the future. So much more to try. #GratuityAdded #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottefoodie #clteats #clt #queencity #clamchowder #foodie #charlottesgotalot #charlottefoodscene #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #cltfoodbloggers #charlottefoodies #foodies #northlake #shrimp #steak #grill #steakhouse #nowelldonesteaks #foodstagram #delicious #steaklover # #steakdinner #phillycheesesteak #eggrolls

I found myself in Brandon, Mississippi. There wasn't too many places that would deliver to my hotel room. Therefore, I ordered from Sonny's BBQ. Here we go..... Corn nuggets I am a fanatic. When you think of corn nuggets, think of corn mixed with corn bread. The corn nuggets had a sweet taste to it. That first bite was a small piece of crunchiness heaven in my mouth. And the cornbread batter that was used was not dry at all. Brisket Easy to pull apart with your fingers, which means it's cooked right. I Drizzled it with the sizzling sweet barbecue sauce that was provided. Barbecue Dirty Rice Think of a mixture of Corn, andouille sausage, and rice. I didn't really care for it, but it tastes much better once I added the smokin barbecue sauce to it. Cornbread muffin Bits of corn in it. Thick and not dry. Pulled pork top with smoking barbecue sauce Pulled pork good. Tender meat and the BBQ sauce set it off. Chicken quarter By itself it was okay. Much better when I added the sizzling BBQ sauce. I can taste the smoked flavor in the skin. Dry rib rubs I didn't like the dry rub but the ribs. It was like they just took a bunch of seasoning and mixed together in a bowl and toast it on the ribs. Very cakey. The ribs were tender and tasted much better with the sizzling sweet barbecue sauce #GratuityAdded #brandonms #pearlms #jacksonms #flowoodms #bbq #foodie #barbecue #instafood #bbqlife #bbqlovers #grilling #foodphotography #chicken #barbeque #foodtravel #foodtraveller #foodblog #JA #foodlovers #foods #travelblogger #foodtourism #foodiesofinstagram #travelforfood #brisket #cltfoodie #ribs #meatlover #grillen

Breakfast the most important meal of the day.... So they say. Breakfast this morning took me to eggs up grill. I ordered the standard American breakfast which consisted of grits and home fries, scrambled eggs, bacon, and turkey sausage. Thr Grits were thick and creamy, buttery and I topped it off by adding a pinch of salt.The Sausage had a spicy aftertaste to it. The bacon was crispy (nobody likes flimsy bacon 😉). Fluffy scrambled eggs. The Home fries were awesome. The herbs and spices used made them pop. I know I tasted a hint of oregano. I will/would eat at this establishment again when I in the area. #GratuityAdded #breakfast #food #foodie #instafood #healthyfood #yummy #foodblogger #foodstagram #backtoschool #breakfastideas #foodlover #goodmorning #BTS #homeskillet #breakfasttime #eggs #healthybreakfast #cltfoodie #charlottenc #gastonia #charlottefoodie #clteats #clt #gashouse #foodie #charlotteeats #gastoniagotalot #food #gastoniafoodscene

After a 2-hour dance recital..... It was time for some grub. Our stomachs landed us at tequila's tacos and bar. I switched it up this time. I ordered the Taco Shots, with a side of Corn and Mexican rice, and washed it all down with a flight of margaritas. The taco shots came with two steaks and two chickens. Both proteins were delicious and cooked to perfection. I topped them with pico de gallo (all ingredients were fresh), and also with my corn and Mexican rice. I had a passion fruit, mango, strawberry and pineapple margarita, as part of my flight. My favorite one was a passion fruit. #Gratuityadded Added mention: The pork carnitas fish tacos and shrimp tacos here are awesome. #TacoTuesday #TacoTuesdayCLT #tacos #taco #foodie #foryoupage #tacosarelife #instafood #foodstagram #trendingnow #universityarea #tacolover #tuesday #foodphotography #charlottefood #clteats #queencity #fyp #charlotteeats #charlottefoodscene #Lizzo #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #cltfoodbloggers #tequila #happyhour #instagood #tacotime

If there is one thing Pigeon Forge has a lot of its pancake restaurants. On the corner, down the street, up the road, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes. Reagan's House of pancakes was a great start to the day. Fresh fluffy scrambled eggs, served with a side of creamy buttery grits with crispy bacon and sausage links. And of course Pigeon Forge famous pancakes. I enjoyed the pancakes. They were not dry, and they kept them coming the entire time. This all you can eat breakfast buffet is cost effective for big families traveling with kids. I will definitely return. There were other items on the bar such as fruit, pastries, etc. #GratuityAdded #breakfast #foodie #instafood #brunch #foodblogger #foodstagram #traveleats #instagood #pigeonforge #breakfastideas #goodmorning #pancakes #breakfasttime #eggs #healthybreakfast #grits #reaganspancakehouse #cltfoodie #fyp #gaitlinburg #vacation

The standard American breakfast should always include some form of eggs and grits. The People’s Market is a place I've always seen but never knew existed. Their breakfast was so good. Fluffy scrambled eggs. The grits were thick and creamy, and I only needed to add a pinch of pepper. The chicken biscuit is also a great eat. A tender juicy thigh on a fluffy biscuit. I will gladly add The People’s Market to my list of breakfast spots. #GratuityAdded   #breakfast  #foodie #instafood  #brunch  #foodblogger #foodstagram #homemade #instagood #thepeoplesmarket #breakfastideas #goodmorning #elizabeth #morning  #breakfasttime #eggs #healthybreakfast #grits   #cltfoodie #fyp    #goodeats #instafood  #foodstagram    #foodblogger  #charlottefood    #clteats  #queencity  #charlotteeats  #charlottefoodscene #exploreclt  #eatdrinkclt #cltfoodbloggers

Mama's farmhouse is a restaurant that I would return to. The menu was an all you can eat family style. For those of you who don't know what that means.......short version...... pick the meat and sides you want for the entire table. Order more if you run out.  Our table tried their famous fried chicken, the ham, and of course chicken tenders for the kiddies. We had macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, and chicken and dumplings for the sides. Overall, I really liked the fried chicken. Besides needing a pinch of salt, I love the crispiness of the skin and the moistness of the meat. I didn't like the corn on the cob. Whatever batter they dipped or cooked in, didn't taste good to me. The only side I tried was a chicken and dumpling. It could use a little more chicken.  A pinch of salt and a dab of pepper and this dish was pretty good. Another dish that stole the show were their homemade biscuits. They were great with and without jelly. Nice and fluffy. I may have had three.🤤 If you're ever in Pigeon Forge step in for a bite.  #GratuityAdded   #traveleats #pigeonforge #smokymountains #sevierville #pigeonforgetn #greatsmokymountains #mamasfarmhouse #familystyle #foodie #wheelsup #foodblogger #foodlover #foodstagram #homemade #southernfood #Chickenanddumplings #Dolly #kidfriendly #familyfun #cltfoodie #fyp #comfortfood #southerncooking #instafood #goodfood #hungry #friedchicken #southern #foodiesofinstagram

A hidden gem in #Monroe, NC Steak & Salmon Hibachi Steak, medium of course. Seasoned lightly with teriyaki sauce. Cooked to the right tenderness. The Salmon wasn't dried out and paired perfectly with the steak and rice. The rice wasn't loaded in salt, which was a plus. Whatever season he used was the right choice. Shrimp Shumai A dumpling with shrimp inside. After a light dunk in soy sauce, the Shumai was delicious. And the dumpling wasn't soggy. Clear Soup It was pretty good. The crunchy wonton thingies were a plus. #monroe #indiantrail #hibachi #takara #steakhouse #salmon #steak #shumai #instagood #cltfoodies #gratuityadded #fyp #unioncounty #foodiesofinstagram #eatlocal #cltfood #cltfoodie #trending #viral #explorepage #explore #follow #likeforlikes #followforfollowback #trend #trendingnow #reels #foryou #photooftheday

I had to take care of some business in Asheville, NC. I ordered two fried eggs, bacon, grits, chicken and of course a biscuit. Overall the food was good. The chicken can use some work. It was fried with some type of batter but did not have any flavor to it..... At all. Of course bacon is bacon. The grits came to life with a sprinkle of salt and dash of pepper. My eggs were fried hard, just like I like them. And for the main attraction..... The biscuit. I took the liberty of slathering their berry jam on top of the biscuit. The biscuit was thick, but fluffy. The jam added the perfect flavor to the biscuit. I like biscuit, even without the jam. If I'm in the area and craving brunch, I'll add this restaurant to my list of places to go to. #gratuityadded #BiscuitHead #Asheville #chicken #fyp #goodeats #instafood #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood #cltfoodies #foodiesofinstagram #eatlocal #homestyle #cltfoodie #ashevillelocal #visitnc #avleats #explorepage #ashevillenorthcarolina #exploreasheville #ashevillefood #breakfast #brunch #homegrown

Mic's Mini Market is a great gem that you can find located outside of Ken's Superette in Gastonia, NC. The food is made to order so to become upset if your food takes more than 20 minutes. I ordered hot lemon pepper fish with baked beans and a side of fries. The fish was fresh out the fryer and served country style, which means on a piece of bread. The hot lemon pepper flavor could have been a little more spicier but the fish was still really good. The baked beans were also good. It tasted like chilli pepper was added to the beans. I couldn't really put my taste buds on it so I'm just going to say chili pepper. The french fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. They were not salty at all. There are other items I would like to try so I will definitely be making another stop at this food truck. Also, while you are at the superette, pick up the whole shabang and some boosie chips. #iykyk #foodtruck #gastoniaeats #clteats #friedfish #bakedbeans #blackowned #thewholeshabang #boosiechips #hotlemonpepper #supportlocal #micsminimarket #kenssuperette #localfinds #foodlover #gratuityadded #friedfood #goodeats #instafood #foodiesofinstagram #cltfoodie #foodtrucklife #yummy #foodgasm #foodtruckfriday #supportlocal #foodtrailer #freshtodeath #foodtruckfestival #madetoorder #foodiesofinstagram

Best believe I will pay more attention to what I order in the future at Stick Street. Ventured out to the Urban District Market. On the left we have pork belly on a stick, which consists of two pieces of fat and a sliver of meat. On the right we have gizzards on a stick. From what I could taste, the pork belly was good but the gizzards were rough. I should have gotten the corn.😞 #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood #cltfoodies #gratuityadded #fyp #foodiesofcharlotte #bamboozelled #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottenc #charlotte #clteats #clt #queencity #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #gizzards #charlotteeats #outinclt #stickstreet #gratuityadded #urbandistrictmarket #friedfood #porkbelly

The chicken was tender, moist, and the skin was crispy. It was not greasy, which is a plus. The greens were good. Needed a pinch of salt, and a splash of  vinegar. The mashed potatoes and gravy was missing the gravy. 🤷🏾‍♀️ The mashed potatoes were basic. The rolls, I did not eat them because I saw the guy picking up rolls up, without wearing gloves, and placing them in the Togo orders.  They have a decent size menu. I would probably give them another.  #chicken #friedfood  #goodeats  #instafood #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood  #cltfoodies #gratuityadded #fyp #foodiesofinstagram #eatlocal #circleg #homestyle  #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottenc #charlotte  #clteats #clt #queencity  #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt

This place deserves 6 out 5 starts. The food was sooo good. The chicken may look like it is burnt, but trust me, it wasnt. The chicken was mosit and filled with spicy flavors. Not hot spicy but just a lil kick spicy. The fries were crispy and lightly seasoned. The beans were great and not soaked in brown sugar. If for some reason I ever find myself back in Memphis, I would definitely be hitting up. Gus's world famous fried chicken.

I checked out R&B in the Park and stumbled across the #EndlessSoulFood Food Truck. Fried fish and shrimp with baked beans and fried corn..... yeah yeah....my arteries. 😁 I love how the fish and shrimp were fried crispy, but not dry and tough. Well seasoned. The beans were good. The corn was okay. It needed some kind of season for it. I will try them again if we cross paths. #eatdrinkclt #goodeats #soulfood #instafood #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood #randbinthepark #skrimp #cltfoodies #gratuityadded #foodtruck #foodiesofinstagram #vibes #friedfish #catering #goodfood #seafood #foodies #SymphonyPark #cookoutvibes

A little day trip landed me at #CentralBBQ in Memphis, TN. Overall it was an okay meal. I was expecting more. Ribs: Best meat on my plate. Very tender and the dry rub was great. I added a mixture of their hot BBQ sauce and vinegar sauce on it. Pulled pork I didn't like it as much. It was over cooked and a little mushy. Brisket The brisket was good and even better when I added some sauces to it. Baked beans I could taste the brown sugar in the beans (not how I like them) but they were still good. I also added some of their vinegar sauce to it. Greens Taste like a combo of collards and mustard greens (mixed greens). I didn't care for the greens because they were over cooked. It tastes just like Glory greens. #memphisfood #memphis #memphiseats #memphistennessee #greens #gratuityadded #memphistn #eatlocal #fyp #bealestreet #memphisfoodies #bbq #explorememphis #brisket #ribs #pulledpork #memphisstyle #clt #travelfood #barbecue #instafood #meat #bbqlife #bbqlovers #foodstagram #barbeque #brisket #ribs #foodblogger #meatlover

Biscuitville Cajun fries I like the crispiness of the fries, as well as the light dusting of salt and Cajun spices. Spicy chicken honey The Biscuit was hard. The spiciness was not up to my level of spicy. The patty was good, and of course the honey added a sweet kick, but the bread needs some work. Strawberry lemonade (not pictured) Think of that first hot summer day and you are handed a cool refreshing lemonade drink, with lots of strawberries and not loaded in sugar. Eggs - pretty good, just needed a pinch of salt Waffle 😞 Stop selling waffles. The waffle was a biscuit that was pressed into the shape of a waffle. When I picked the waffle up it fell into two pieces, split down the middle. It was very, very dry. Probably won't ever order a waffle from here again. #southernfood #foodie #clt #comfortfood #southerncooking #cmills #foodstagram #eatlocal #southerneats #chickenandwaffles #scrambledeggs #cajunfood #friedchicken #southern #concordmills #foodiesofinstagram # #biscuitville #breakfast #honey #charlottesgotalot #gratuityadded #strawberrylemonade

The only cons I will post is I didn't like the fact that the asparagus was served from the cold bar. I mean .......who likes cold asparagus. Also, even after our party left, I waited 30 mins just to try the brisket. 😞It was over cooked....mushy. I would go back. I loved the mashed potatoes with the balsamic mushroom gravy The collard greens were great. My favorite meat would be the garlic steak. Others I tried Beef Brisket, Filet Mignon with Bacon, and Cajun Ribeye Steak I really liked my mix of shrimp and pico de Gallo. I only wish the pico de gallo was room temperature.... And not cold. The lemon drop drink was on point. #winstonsalem #winstonsalemnc #gratuityadded #bestofwinston #forsythcounty #exploreclt #Brazilian #explorepage #steakhouse #steak #food #meat #foodie #beef #instafood #steaklover #grill #foodlover #meatlover #steakdinner #foodstagram #ribeye #yummy #burger #foodblogger #balsamic #collardgreens #shrimp #fruit #lemondrop

We were charged $30 at the door by security for a table. I thought that was odd because I have never paid. When I asked the workers there about the fee, they skated around the question. I even emailed them about the charger and didn't receive an answer. We were there at 1pm on a Saturday. Otherwise the wings were great. I ordered them plain and crispy. The salmon and grits were on point. I even enjoyed the sauce that was used. The salmon wasn't dried and the grits were creamy. I didn't care for the mimosas (made with sparkling wine and juice). The DJ was doing his thing. #clt #charlotte #charlottenc #queencity #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #cltnc #recess #explorepage #cltfood #section #clteats #cltfoodie #discoverclt #godj #goodmusic #foodie #brunch #grits #food #southernfood #seafood #brunchvibes #gratuityadded #brunchsohard #saturdaybrunch #instafood #eatdrinkstl

At the corner of West Blvd and Remount Rd, in the old Jack N The Box spot, is now the new Nick's Gyros & Seafood restaurant. On this trip, I ordered chicken gizzards and fries, and also a 5 piece wing (hot). Hot Wings Fried Hard, Fried Regular..... Whatever's clever. For the sake of this post, my wings were fried hard and toss in Buffalo sauce. You can't beat crispy skin, juicy meat, and a good hot sauce coating the wing. Chicken Gizzards & Fries To me the fries were standard. I mean they were hot and crispy but no flavor. Maybe a couple of the fries had a little seasoning sprinkled on them, but the major didn't. Not a big deal, easy fix. The gizzards are the best I've had in Charlotte. The gizzards were fried and still was able to remain tender. The flavor was on point.. not to salty at all. Almost a light Lowry's mixture. I will have to add Nick's Gyros & Seafood to the lunch rotation. #explorepage #foodie #SoulFood #instafood #foodstagram #clteats #friedchicken #foodgasm #foodiesofinstagram #tasty #nowopen #followforfollow #GratuityAdded #foodlover #remountrd #cltfoodie #comfortfood #gizzards #foodstagram #foodlover #foodblogger #delicious #freakyfriday #NicksGyrosandSeafood #clteats #gyros #seafood #explorecharlotte #westblvd

OMG this food was good. I ordered the ITALIAN "OSCAR" FILET....... Which is an 8 oz. barrel-cut filet, topped with jumbo lump crab, with asparagus, and taleggio cream (think of milky cheese). Now I asked for the cream on the side.....in case I didn't like it. I actually enjoyed the cream. I ordered my steak medium-well. The cut was tender and well seasoned, even before I added the taleggio cream. The lumb crab on top was cooked to perfection. It wasn't over cooked nor chewy (like some other restaurant that I won't list) The asparagus was soft.....which I like. I can't stand crunchy asparagus. Tastes as if it was cooked in your standard olive oil then topped with parmesan and a sprinkle of salt. I forgot to take a picture of the oven-roasted waygu meatballs. They were awesome. Served with garlic toast and topped with soaked in reggiano sauce. I will definitely return to this fine dining establishment. #finedining #foodie #gratuityadded #instafood #foodphotography #foodstagram #finedininglovers #foodies #culinary #yummy #foodpics #waygu #steakhouse #crab #asparagus #clteats #cltfood #cltfoodie #queencity #charlottesgotalot #charlottefoodscene #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #bestfoodcharlotte #cltfoodbloggers #charlottefoodies #uptowncharlotte #charlotterestaurants

No mustard, no lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions, no nothing. I did however add a fried egg.... But I forgot to tell them to fry it hard. This was still a very tasty burger. #wahlburger #wahlburgers #circularquay #sydneyeats #sydneyharbour #gratuityadded #circularquay #sydney #australia #operahouse #sydneyharbourbridge #harbourbridge #sydneycbd #photography #travel #circularquaysydney #darlingharbour #sydneylife #travelphotography #AmericansAbroad #foodblogger #instafood #foodgasm #foodtour #foodblog #foodies #travelblogger #foodtourism #lovefood #foodiesofinstagram

Restaurant: Cyren Bar Grill & Seafood I will never..... ever.... order anything barbecue related in Australia again. As I was walking around Darling Harbor.... I saw a couple of barbecue themed restaurants that had signs saying award-winning ribs. I ordered a full rack of ribs. To my surprise when my order arrived, they were humongous. I ended up sharing at least half of them with my party. From the very first bite of the BBQ ribs I took, my taste buds and stomach was highly disappointed. The meat tasted old and the sauce was disgusting. You could tell the meat wasn't seasoned. I should have sent it back and ordered something else, but I decided to eat it. Flash forward 4 hours.... Biggest mistake of MY life!! Those ribs had me man down.😁🤮😁 Once those ribs were out of my system, I ate some good old fashion chicken kabobs from a street vendor. #Cyren #DarlingHarbour #darlingharboursydney #cyrendarlingharbour #australiafood #foodstagram #foodie #foodblogger #sydney #gratuityadded #foodies #perth #foodphotography #BBQ #foodlover #travel #australianfood #australiarestaurant #ribs #sydneyfoodie #cooking #seeaustralia #travelforfood

Ty's Wings and Tings...... Chicken, plantains, collards, oh My..... Jerk chicken Man I love their jerk chicken. It wasn't spicy spicy but the chicken had a spicy after taste to it.... Which I also love. Juicy flavor with every bite. Plantains Finally, somebody that knows how to cook plantains that's not soaked in sugary sauces but still has that Nice sweet taste.  Collard greens I'm hesitant to buy collard greens at restaurants because they always taste like they're straight out of the can and watered down. The collard greens were pretty good. Tender, not too salty....but I think I taste a hint of sugar. 😞 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐   #explorepage  #foodie #instafood #foodstagram #plantains #foodblogger #foodlover #localeats    #foodgasm  #instagood #foodiesofinstagram #foodpics  #chickenlovers #followforfollow  #GratuityAdded    #tyswingandtings    #jerk #clteats #charlottefoodscene  #Jamaicanfood #charlottefoodie #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #queencity #charlotterestaurants #cltnc  #charlottefoodies    #cltfoodies  #queencityeats  #buzzcity

I've been in Charlotte since about 2002 and have never eaten at South 21. I decided to stop in for lunch one day last week. From all the good things I've heard.... I was not impressed at all. The fries To me, they were standard French fries with maybe a sprinkle of salt. Crispy. That's about it. The chicken I expected the chicken to be much better than what I received. To me it tastes like they took the chicken, rolled it around in flour, and then tossed it in the grease. There was not one speckle of seasoning on the chicken. The breading was very hard and thick. The plus side about the food was everything seemed to be cooked to order. I say it was cooked to order because there were maybe two customers in front of me and I waited about 40 minutes for my food. It was hot and fresh but no flavor whatsoever. I was highly disappointed.  I feel as if they need to redeem themselves so I may give them a second try. I won't be ordering the chicken though. ⭐⭐   #explorepage  #foodie #instafood #foodstagram #drivein #foodblogger #foodlover #localeats    #foodgasm  #instagood #foodiesofinstagram #foodpics  #chickenlovers #followforfollow  #GratuityAdded    #foodlover    #South21 #clteats #charlottefoodscene  #charlottefoodie #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #queencity #charlotterestaurants #cltnc  #charlottefoodies    #cltfoodies  #queencityeats  #buzzcity
