Rank 27. Haberdish
Southern
In NoDa's repurposed mill district, Haberdish marries industrial bones with Southern comfort food, all best observed from the counter with a draft beer in hand. The devilled eggs and crispy fried chicken anchor a menu of homemade sides and house-made desserts that justify the pilgrimage.
-
Rank 28. Ever Andalo
American Italian
A narrow storefront on Davidson Street that reads like a decades-old trattoria despite its recent opening, with Italian wine sorted by region and oysters that arrive brined and perfect. Jeff Tonidandel's menu drifts between Italy and America, favoring rustic technique and ingredient quality over culinary ambition.

Rank 41. Supperland
Southern Steakhouse
Smoke announces this Plaza Midwood restaurant before you arrive. Set in a restored church with an oversized wood-fired range as its centerpiece, the kitchen roasts prime meat and fish over embers while composing inventive sides that merit equal scrutiny. Everything arrives family-style, meant to be passed around the table and divided among spoons.

Rank 42. Counter
Contemporary
Chef Sam Hart's Counter shifts its multicourse concept seasonally around personal obsessions—nostalgia, music, memory—sourcing from Charlotte's urban farms with restless creativity. The intimate dining room and beverage program match a team that serves with quiet assurance.

Rank 46. Restaurant Constance
New American
In Wesley Heights, Chef Sam Diminich's restaurant draws from local producers with a restless global appetite. Pork belly dumplings with shiso sit alongside pan-roasted scallops from the Outer Banks; jalapeño cornbread waffles have anchored the menu since opening. The dining room matches the plates—unfussy, alive to what's fresh.

Rank 49. Customshop Handcrafted Food
Latin-Italian New American
Chef Andrés Kaifer's Latin-Italian menu draws from North Carolina's seasons with inventive ease—hamachi crudo meets parmesan leche de tigre, housemade pasta twines with chorizo and sungold tomatoes. The Elizabeth neighborhood's most convivial table offers quaffable cocktails and genuinely helpful service.

Rank 66. Lang Van
Vietnamese
A neighborhood institution in Plaza Shamrock where thank-you notes from regulars coat the walls and co-owner Dan Nguyen's warmth sets the tone. The Vietnamese menu spans pho, spring rolls, hot pot, and vermicelli bowls—each executed with care and modesty. Book a booth and expect the kind of place that feels less like a restaurant and more like someone's extended table.

Rank 94. Rada
Mediterranean
A sleek dining room with warm service and a shareable Mediterranean menu that moves with the seasons. Martinis—try the San Sebastian with its peppery brine—arrive impeccable, followed by eggplant escabeche, harissa meatballs, and Dover sole meunière with sherry. Stylish without pretense.
