This North Carolina Family-Owned Diner Still Serves Meals At An Old-Fashioned Soda Fountain From 1951

The burned-out “Time to Eat” sign in the back is probably my favorite thing about this diner. Nobody replaced it with something polished, and somehow that tells me exactly what kind of place this is. The North Carolina soda fountain has been serving customers since 1951 inside a...

The Steak People Drive Hours For Comes From This Remote North Carolina Restaurant

The ribeye here gets aged for at least 28 days, then chargrilled over an open wood fire. The restaurant’s prime rib is aged before being slowly roasted and served. That kind of patience is rare, and I think it shows. The building is a rustic log cabin with oil...

How a tiny sandwich shop by Charlotte got Michelin's attention, and why you should go

A snug sandwich shop near Charlotte with only 14 seats inside and almost as many picnic tables outside made this year’s Michelin Guide American South as a recommended restaurant, surprising foodie followers used to seeing avant garde tasting menus and fine dining steakhouses on the list. But probably no one in North Carolina was more caught off guard than the owners of Pump Social , Rachael and AJ Donner, who opened the restaurant in a former gas station in Concord just last August . She thought the September email sent by the French tire company’s little red travel guide was spam. At least she did until checking with friends whose Nashville restaurant was listed as a Bib Gourmand last year by “sheepishly” sending them a screenshot — and hearing they believed it was real. “I keep thinking, ‘How did we? Like, how would they even know?’ I don’t know. I have no idea,” Donner said of the whole experience. ”This was never something that was on our radar — ever,” she said. “And then being open a year, and we got that email. Even if it’s just a recommendation. I mean, I’m so happy to be even included,” she said.

Vietnamese sandwich and bubble tea restaurant opens in Lake Norman retail center

Co-owners Tracy Quach and Luynh Nguyen have brought the authentic flavors and ingredients of their native Vietnam to Lake Norman with their new bánh mì and bubble tea restaurant, Vietopia . The establishment opened Oct. 1 in the former R&B Tea space in the Winslow Bay Commons (SuperTarget) shopping center at N.C. 150 and Bluefield Road in Mooresville. “When we took over the shop, we wanted to create something special that you could not find around here,” Quach told CharlotteFive at the restaurant Wednesday. Bulgogi Beef ($9.50) is the most popular menu item, Quach said. The bánh mì item includes beef with a secret sauce, pickled Daikon, carrot, cucumber and cilantro. “Very fresh,” Quach said. “Everything homemade.” Other bánh mìs include the Vietnamese Cold Cuts ($9), pork, liver pate and Vietnamese ham; the Mooresville ($9.75), pork, ham and pate; the Vegetarian ($8), tofu and vegan ham; the Shredded Chicken ($9) and the Roasted Pork ($9.50). The Vietnamese baguette with each bánh mì “has a hollow inside, not too dense, a little crispy on the outside, and best when you eat it warm,” Quach said. Fresh spring rolls (pork, shrimp, beef and tofu selections) are $6.50 for two rolls and $9.50

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.
