Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Salted Melon Market & Eatery offers a unique blend of market and dining experiences with "fantastic service" and "very delicious food." Notable dishes include truffle fries, burrata, and blueberry lemon cake. The atmosphere is vibrant, though "insanely loud," and live music adds a lively touch. Wine Wednesdays and brunch cocktails are highly recommended.

We celebrated a family birthday and father's day with reservations for 6 plus a toddler. We were seated quickly, service and food were excellent for such a busy day! Highly Recommend!

Great food we enjoyed splitting shareables and you can’t beat their 1/2 off wine by the glass on Wednesdays. The Chenin Blanc is delicious. As far as food we loved the burrata, Cobb salad, steak bites, and truffle fries. The fries are dangerous.

I asked for well done meat and it arrived medium rare. Second time it’s happened. Made the rest of the meal hard to finish.

Nicole T was our server and was excellent; friendly, and helpful. We had the Truffle Cacio E Pepe & it was very rich & tasty; worth the calories, Steak wraps & mini crab cakes were also very tasty as an appetizer We opted to go to the “market” for dessert as take home.. Overall, an delicious adventure.

We would def come here again. We actually visited on our way through Charlotte, headed back home. The atmosphere is really cute - half market, half restaurant. It was nice to have a good option that we didn't feel like we had to dress up for. The food was really good. The presentation def was lacking, but the quality seemed decent so that wasn't a deal breaker for us. Also, the prices are so reasonable - also why the lack of presentation wasn't really an issue. Our server was a little meh - had no idea what beer was on tap, miscommunicated about the coffee situation after the meal. It was fine though, honestly. This place hit the spot and we would def return next time we visit CLT. One thing though is the volume level - it is insanely loud in there when full. So, just be aware. We'd have preferred something quieter.

Hello Lyndsay! Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad overall it was a hit! I am sorry for the lack of proper communication and knowledge and that is something we will aim to fix! Hope to see you next visit! -The Salted Melon Team

The food was not good. We had the brisket Benedict's . The tiny piece of brisket was very tough , no flavor. The biscuit was dry and hard. We ordered a side pancake and it was thin and crispy like a hardshell taco! Pretty disappointing.

This restaurant was just okay. The location and menu options were fine. The food was okay quality. My daughter's beef in her Street Car dish was WAY overcooked. My son's steak was undercooked. The Hot Chicken Sandwiches my wife and I got were chewy and tough. The atmosphere is impossibly loud. I wish more restaurants would consider acoustics when they design a space. I could barely hear my family at my table. Not a pleasant experience for a dinner out. Far too many nicer places to choose from.

Very good food and nice staff. However, we had to wait for our table for about 30 minutes despite having a reservation. First, they attempted to give us the high table even though we reserved a table in the dining room. They apologized and treated us with free beignets. The noise level makes it almost impossible to talk.
The Salted Melon Market & EateryResponded on May 6, 2025
Hello Tatjana! I'm so happy to hear that overall the experience was positive. I do apologize for the wait. We try our best to get everyone sat in a timely manner especially with a reservation. So I am very sorry you had to wait on that. I hope we can see you again soon and get you seated promptly! -The Salted Melon Team

The hostess was rude from get go. Our server was amazing and made up for that. The food was delicious but the brisket Benedict portion had a laughable amount of brisket on it so for the price definitely not worth it. The French toast and drinks were amazing. The restaurant is very loud.
