I believe she is talking about Dish, not the Penguin. Dish fucking rocks....everyone talks about Penguin this and penguin that..give me a good Dish meal any day.

3/6/2008 12:27:10 PM

interesting I'll have to check it out

3/6/2008 12:37:48 PM

The dish trumps the penguin. It's one of my favorite charlotte resturants.

3/6/2008 2:56:30 PM

i'm not a big grease fan soo.... penguin is good for burgers and thats about it.

3/6/2008 3:15:16 PM

I go every couple of months for the pickle chips and grilled pimento cheese or burger. But, yeah, I feel like complete shit after I eat it.

i get my occasional grease filling from Brooks Sandwich Shop in NoDa...best hole in the wall in town for burgers

3/6/2008 3:36:52 PM

NOFO in Elizabeth
good food, neat place

3/6/2008 5:31:23 PM

I've heard good things about NOFO but haven't been there either

3/6/2008 5:35:31 PM

I was talking about Dish (couldn't remember the name), their fried green tomatoes rock.. and I'm not usually a huge tomato fan, either.

I like the Penguin but it's been ages since I've been there, half a year or more?

Looking fwd to more Thomas St. when the weather is nice, LOVE the large deck there.

3/6/2008 6:45:46 PM

the fire pits are nice in the winter, too

3/6/2008 10:06:21 PM

NOFO is pretty good. we did the electrical work in that restaurant several years go.

3/7/2008 11:48:09 AM

the restaurant/wine bar at the bottom of my building is opening tomorrow!!! I'm kinda excited

3/9/2008 9:23:27 PM

I'm excited about that place.

3/9/2008 9:53:57 PM

any of you ever been to the Brick & Barrel? Got dragged into that spot Saturday night for an hour or so. Honestly, as much as I frequent that stretch of uptown (Phils, Attic, Ri-Ra) I had never even seen it. Was nothing special.

I need to get out and frequent some more spots on the other ends of town. Any of you ever been to the Thirsty Beaver?

3/10/2008 1:58:17 PM

I've been to Brick & Barrel a few times. It's alright on the main floor, depending on what time you go. Seems like the kind of place people "start out" but have left by 11pm.

3/10/2008 3:19:10 PM

therapy is the best "start out" Place...
good beer decent live music and NO SMOKE!

3/10/2008 3:43:55 PM

yeah, especially on Wednesdays

3/11/2008 8:15:53 AM

What's everyone doing for St. Patty's day?

There's the parade and festival downtown, the pub crawl, Dixie's party and the first annual (I think) Buckheads street party.

3/11/2008 2:09:58 PM

im doing the pub crawl i believe!

3/11/2008 5:49:22 PM

Going to wear green, wear green to the gym, and maybe have one beer.

3/11/2008 7:09:33 PM

i doubt i'll do to much. I hate the growing number of people who claim to be irish when they are about as irish as EMCE. bunch of mick ass wannabes acting tough and drinking guinness

3/11/2008 9:15:54 PM

better than green beer

btw i'm irish

3/12/2008 5:15:43 PM

cause i'm really not offended @ all

3/13/2008 3:43:05 PM

^^^^ excuse me Sir, but have you never heard of the black irish?

3/14/2008 2:38:29 PM

Its good to be irish.... where's my pint?


Doh! other hand OMFG look at that...its a guiness and extra stout at that

3/15/2008 5:06:02 PM

their was a lot of people out yesterday. I can't believe i made it from 2 pm to 1 am

3/16/2008 11:09:12 AM

Yeah, despite the bad weather, it really was a rocking time out Sat. night.

3/17/2008 1:02:58 PM

Any places with good chicken wings near uptown charlotte ?

3/24/2008 5:26:02 PM

sausages sausages

3/30/2008 12:22:49 AM

^^ there was a wings rating poll in one of the papers the other (like creative loafing orone of those). I havent tried any of the places here uptown yet but plan to do so. Now that the rain has cleared up, i might walk to one of the places on the list this week and see if there any good wings uptown.

4/8/2008 2:09:09 PM

dude if you could find that online or scan and send it to me you'd be my hero

4/8/2008 3:40:53 PM

i remember seeing it on charlotte.com...it was like a bracket...i think Moosehead might've won the "non traditional" category, ie honey teriyaki, blackened, whatever (not "buffalo hot")...they have really good wings but they're not downtown

try searching charlotte.com for 'wings'

this isnt it but its the first thing i found

4/8/2008 9:53:50 PM

I've yet to be impressed by any of the wing places in Charlotte... I'd also be down for that list, plus a taste-test at the top selections, of course!

4/8/2008 10:38:50 PM

i've had some of the better wings at 'random' bars (that dont specialize in wings)

there used to be a Wing Stop near my place and they were pretty good and had probably 20+ different flavors but they closed down

when i lived in raleigh i was a fiend for getting some Wing Zone delivered since they were open til 1am

4/8/2008 10:42:43 PM

Flying Saucer & Papa John's have some decent wings

& is Chantilly a nongood place to rent a house?

4/8/2008 11:20:45 PM

re: Chantilly

depends...if its near downtown its not that bad...if its closer to eastway you might want to get a gun and some extra locks on your doors

4/8/2008 11:26:31 PM

Dilworth Wing Ranch was my go-to, but sadly they are closed.

4/8/2008 11:41:18 PM

^yeah they had some good stuff...they had some kind of wings that had sesame seeds on them, they were pretty good...then it became some place, what was the name of it? now its Ed's...Wing Ranch used to be on Kings Drive before that though where either the Dunkin Donuts or battery store or something is now...kind of across from the old McDonalds where they've leveled that whole block now

4/8/2008 11:42:53 PM

I haven't had too many great experiences with wings in this town either.

we go to the Hickory Tavern for lunch about every other week and they have an all you can eat wing bar. But the thing with wingbars is the wings dry out so the quality can be hit or miss. But they are decent sized.

Saucer has good wings but that is a pretty common place, I guess you were looking for something a little "off the radar".

I'm a buffalo hot guy only, but i would definitely be down for this list and trying out some new wing spots.

4/9/2008 7:58:53 AM

I mean my favorites are still Quakersteak's Cajun ones when they're damn near loaded with blackening seasoning ... (sometimes they come almost as butter/garlic wings) but i don't wanna drive to concord for wings.... i guess there is one off par rd. too though now that i think of it.

Matthews Township Grille are the best wings I have found. Picasso's weren't that bad either.

4/9/2008 10:09:37 AM

Anyone going to alive after 5 tomorrow?

4/9/2008 1:22:32 PM

first of the year?

4/9/2008 3:03:30 PM

Sure is i'm thinking about it... i think i washed my wallet though this morn...

4/10/2008 9:20:50 AM

ohh eff that.... they're the same shit bags that were there last time

4/10/2008 5:44:43 PM

Spring and early summer are the best times of the year to go to Alive After 5. I remember it getting almost too hot to be enjoyable several nights last summer.
