The Crunkleton

Perfection! Great food, great service, awesome drink menu. Ask for Phil to be your server. He's FANTASTIC! Best server of the year... Maybe even of the decade! It's been a very long time since I had such a perfectly attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly server. If you enjoy the food as much as we did, tip the kitchen for $15 and ring the cowbell! We will definitely be back.

Had the best time at the Crunkleton! The food was incredible, and the staff was just so lovely. You can’t find nicer hostesses, servers, or bartenders anywhere. It’s amazing to see a staff that all care so much about creating a great dining experience. The whole team worked together beautifully. The food was delicious, well seasoned, and clearly prepared with care.

Sunday Brunch was a success today! Thank you ASH, our incredible server and new friend! The food could have been trash and I still would rate the place 5 stars because of her! So fun!funny! Attentive! Great personality that was genuine!
I ordered a mimosa—it was good! Classic taste! I tried the honey suckler daiquiri, that was really tasty! Just wish it was frozen!
The beignets were AMAZING! We had to order two orders of them lmao I should have gotten a 3rd order to go!
I ordered the Charlotte Hot Brown ($24 Stacked French Toast, Fried Chicken, Sweet Maple, Gravy, Grilled Tomatoes, Aged Cheddar, Crispy Bacon, Sunny Egg). I had the gravy on the side and asked the egg to be fried hard! It was really tasty!

The atmosphere was great! Energetic but not overwhelming. Can’t wait to come back for dinner

This was one of the best brunch experiences I've ever had! The service was amazing! Bryant was most kind and attentive 💙 The food did not disappoint! Fire Roasted Oysters on the half shell with a melted parm crust! Whoo! The Charlotte Hot Brown and the Shrimp and Grits! Superb 💫 The drink selection was endless! Honeysuckle cocktail my fav! I highly recommend it and I will return! Parking across the street in the deck is hassle free!

This place was amazing and beautiful. I went for the first time tonight for a friend's birthday dinner. The food was 10/10. The drinks and atmosphere were amazing. I will definitely be back

We just came for cocktails, that were amazing and creative. Mixologist was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will come back for food next time.

Great atmosphere, good food, and phenomenal cocktails! 10/10 customer service from our bartender Joey, he made the best cocktail I’ve had in forever. Definitely will be coming back.

Stopped in for drinks and dinner. Although it wasn't an actual table, we were able to walk in and secure seating right away. I found it odd, their bar seating had a wait list. Nonetheless, we had great full service in the waiting area. Open fire roasted smokey flavor of the food was perfect! I finished my night with the charred Oak Barrel Old Fashioned, and it is indeed one of the top 3 in the city!!

Made reservations weeks ago! And today was it. It was well worth the wait and friends suggestion to go here. It was packed. The drink menu choices are no joke. So many choices! I ordered the burger 🍔 with a sunny side up egg! Wow! The other plate ordered at our table was their brunch burrito. It’s so massive it’s worthy considering to share. In the end we hadn’t had e tough delicious calories so we decided to also order the Beignets (half order) and boy was it tasty. Awesome spot for brunch lunch or dinner. Make your reservations!

Overall great experience. Phillip our waiter was top notch. The food was on point. Best Beignets ever. The Shrimp and grits also best I’ve had. Try their whiskey sour. The brunch is the best in Charlotte imo. Will be back.

Beautiful restaurant and bar with open, airy, relaxed vibe. Bar provided amazing drinks. Brunch was amazing! Jasmine provided exceptional service. French press coffee was rich, hot, and delicious. Beignets were hot, soft, melt in your mouth deliciousness. Spicy chicken breakfast sandwich was perfect 🥰 spicy, hearty, so satisfying! Cheesey grits were one of the best I have had. Shrimp and grits and Charlotte hot brown were thoroughly enjoyed by our friends. Highly recommend for brunch!

Stopped by here on a whim on a Sunday afternoon and we were not disappointed. Atmosphere was welcoming. Membership only dining but it's $10 for a year membership. We sat at the bar and we're impressed with the wall decorated with what appears to be amazing collection of spirits. Our bartender Haley was pleasant. We enjoyed everything we ordered.

This place is a favorite for my husband and I. It’s a great place for date night, celebration, or going out with friends. Every dish and drink I’ve gotten has been very good and you can tell the bartenders focus on flavorful, quality dishes. There is a $10 annual membership that you need to enter, but it makes the experience feel almost exclusive. They have pricier options on the menu, but the burger and fries is always my go to. You also can’t go wrong with the beignets!

Excellent dinner. Very accommodating and friendly team. Shared a few dishes and a few appetizers. All delicious. I never order burgers on restaurants and haven't had one in years. Glad I did this time around. Their wagyu burger & The lamb stroganoff are solid, but the crawfish appetizer was the star.

Had a great time here tonight! My sister and I had a reservation for the patio if the bar was full when we arrived, and when we asked if we could sit at the bar early, we were told it was not a problem. Upon sitting down we were greeted promptly, and given a minute to look things over. The bartenders all seemed to enjoy their craft, and enjoyed talking about it. Seriously, Eli and Benjamin were great, and took my indecisiveness and questions like champs, and I had a great night with my sister due to the relaxed, but happy atmosphere they provided. Living an hour and a half out is probably for the best; because I definitely would frequent this place if I lived close by.

Came back for the food, and wow. I cleaned the plate. Crawfish dip and Chicken Picatta were phenomenal. Matt and Jenna were wonderful, too.

Love the vibe. Cocktails were fantastic and the bartender’s recommendations and knowledge were unparalleled to anywhere I’ve been in Charlotte in the past couple years. Javier was our primary bartender.

Visited again and JP was our bartender. Super friendly guy, quality service and drinks too. My friend, who doesn’t much care for cocktails, raved about it too.

I can’t wait to come back and try the food.

The experience was so good I had to write the review before we even left. Our group came to celebrate a couple of birthdays and got sat with Cole, a staff member so knowledgeable and sociable that he immediately elevated the experience. We got a few apps, drinks (grab the Saturn), and even celebrated with beignets for dessert which were perfect. The staff are great and so is the ambiance. Amazing experience from start to finish.

@Samuel, thank you for being such and excellent waiter! Matter of fact, everyone is such an essential part of the team and that’s what makes Crunkleton a fine dining establishment! From the chic and sophisticated decor, welcoming vibes, skilled and trained cooks, servers, to the delicious cocktails, appetizers and on to the main course meal, we were all satisfied. We always eat first with our eyes. I’m glad to say the food was presented in a way that engaged my senses and tasted delicious. First time in Charlotte and I see why you all have great reviews. We’ll be back when we’re in town, even if it to just chill and relax at the bar.

Visited here with a friend for drinks and appetizers and it was an incredible experience! We sat at the bar, which allowed us an awesome view of the ice carving the bar tenders do, as well as the ability to chat with the incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. We both enjoyed some of the best cocktail selections, including the gin gin mule, bourbon bramble, and the best espresso martini I’ve ever had! Along with that, our appetizers were top notch; they were so good that we ultimately didn’t go to dinner afterwards, which was our plan. We enjoyed a delicious cheeseboard with really unique and delicious options, Brussel sprouts, sweet potato gnocchi, lamb meatballs, and the best Mexican street corn either of us have ever tasted! The food and drinks were delicious, the vibe and ambiance was truly unbeatable, the service was top notch and we even got to speak to the manager, who was so kind and professional! I will absolutely come here again and can’t wait for them to open their location in Raleigh!

Abby provided great service during our dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and friendly. The food service always exceeds my expectations. The food was plated beautifully and food was superb! Highly recommend!
