This is one of our favorites! Rosie's wine garden is a great place to grab a glass (or bottle) of wine and bring your own food. Bird pizzeria is right around the corner. Shane and I have made this a staple date night over the past year!

This is our favorite BBQ spot to go to! Sweet Lew's is our standard and staple whenever someone asks us where to get BBQ in Charlotte. Sweet Lew's is located in Plaza Midwood, near the hotels.

If you are looking for a good cocktail, Supperland's bar is a great choice. Their dine-in usually is filled with reservations but attached is their bar and you won't be disappointed. They do serve appetizers on their bar menu!

Moo & Brew is a staple for Shane and his friends. They go here once a month to grab a burger and beer and it never gets old. They have a long list of burgers & craft beer served in a chill space with a patio & sports on TV.

No Reservations needed.

This restaurant is owned by one of our good friend's fathers and we have enjoyed many great meals surrounded by great company at this place!

When Shane and I visited Charlotte for the first time, Zada Janes was the first place we went to breakfast. Since moving here, we have gone back and if you are looking for some good coffee and mean cinnamon rolls this place is for you! It is a funky cafe serving organic, local & sustainable fare.
