Best American Restaurants in Charlotte

Starry Night is always a slam dunk! There's a reason it's been a local's favorite for over 20 years.

Beautiful Inn. Professional welcoming staff! The bar is darling and the drinks are handcrafted and delicious. Dinner was excellent! Very professional service, very welcoming and knowledgeable. The duck was amazing! Chicken thigh also very different and delicious. This is a place that you always will feel like a very special guest. We will continue to visit this restaurant whenever we are in the area beautiful ambience.

First the positive. The service was outstanding. The place was hopping at 5 pm on a Saturday evening, so it's obviously very popular. The thai noodles were delicious and the french fries are excellent. The incredible salsa is incredibly garlicky. More jalapeno, less garlic would be my personal tastes, but I didn't mind it. However, my 2 dining partners definitely didn't love it. The fish and chips are a bit different. The fish looks like chicken tenders. The breading is good, but there was one that was inedible, tough and chewy, a little weird. And my Korean Chicken sandwich was a hot mess. The breading was burnt, not enough slaw or sauce. Should have been messy, did not taste a hint of cilantro or apple. All in all, I drove 45 minutes to try the place and if I stop again, it'll be because I'm passing through. There are more things on the menu I would like to try. But I won't get my husband back there. Again, the service was excellent and I enjoyed the vibe. The bar was full, so it's obvioulsy a popular choice for the Middlebury crowd.

Excellent food, nice cocktails, great wine list, and friendly, attentive service. I did find the chair less than comfortable.

This was our second dinner at Ardelia’s. This evening we had the Caesar salad, the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the apple crisp for dessert. Husband had Pinot noir and I had a mocktail that the bartender made for me. Both were excellent. We throughly enjoyed our dinner. Our server, Abdullah, was very attentive.
