Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in University City

We closed out my birthday weekend with brunch at The Salted Melon Market & Eatery which wasn't our original choice but the first restaurant we had reservations for the chef hadn't shown up and no food was prepped. No I won't name the other restaurant because anybody can have a bad day. Needless to say we switched gears promptly; getting reservations through OpenTable was quick and easy. The food was great for the value, everyone seemed to enjoy their dish. (I had the shrimp & grits) Our server, Maya H was fantastic, she inquired about turkey bacon as a protein option which is not listed on the menu but the chef informed her that they did indeed have some which made my wife very happy! My only compliant is that the coffee gets cold quickly in the very pretty mugs they have. Again our awesome server brought me some more coffee in a to-go cup to add to my mug. It's the service and staff care we received that would definitely make me come back to The Salted Melon Market & Eatery.

I was in town to celebrate my birthday and decided on Angeline’s since it was inside my hotel. This place did not disappoint! Everything was top tier from the time I walked in until I left. My sever was Danielle and she was absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend Angeline’s to anyone in the Charlotte area.

Great pizza and Brussel sprout salad. Delish and delightful!

Our anniversary night and the waiter was excellent. I was disappointed that I had to wait after making a reservation on OpenTable but the night turned out well again the waiter was fantastic and the food was excellent. 

Delicious home-styled cooking with a family kitchen feel. We totally enjoyed ourselves. From the service to the meal, we were well taken care of! I know the amazing Chicken is the feature here and it should be! However, I also want to shout out the Kale salad! It was crazy good! The Eagle would be great for solo dining, a meal with friends, or catching a game and a meal in the bar. Great times!
