Best Authentic Restaurants in Mint Hill

We found the Fug Tree on Open table and a travel blog recommendation and it was exactly what we were looking for! We had a fabulous time celebrating my daughter’s 23rd birthday trip from Los Angeles -- and met others celebrating their anniversaries. We shared 2 apps, a salad, 1 main, and ordered 3 drinks (2 different cocktails and a glass of wine) — and unfortunately didn’t have room for dessert which we were looking forward to — but they still brought some homemade chocolates on a plate inscribed Happy Birthday with a candle, which was lovely! The wait staff were very personable and took great care of us including splitting shared dishes without being asked. The cocktails were unique and yummy. The food was a fantastic mix of flavors and cooked to perfection. The house was tastefully decorated for the holidays. Compared to LA prices it was at least 50% less expensive than a similar experience — but we did tip a lot more than we usually would since service was fantastic and min wage in NC is about 1/4 of that in CA.

Just a really well-run place. Good food, service and value. Our server was very busy but did a great job and was sweet and efficient. The food was delicious and we left stuffed. Always a pleasure. If I had one complaint it would be that the booths to the right of the main floor are pretty rundown and uncomfortable. The hostess relocated us without complaint.

Dinner or brunch here is always awesome! Easily a fave!

Celebrated my birthday at Firebirds Southpark with my niece. I started with an excellent vodka martini with blue cheese olives, and we both ordered from the 3-course meal menu. That is an amazing bargain and both of our entrees were excellently prepared. The sides were also great, with the seasonal vegetables crisp and not soggy. Will definitely come back on my next visit to Charlotte - oh, and GO GATORS!

We had the pizza and it was so good, this is a wonderful place with amazing food. We cannot wait to go back.
