The Hobbyist - Charlotte

After two previous stops left us still hungry, this became our final destination for the night. We ordered the pierogis, Caribbean tacos, gnocchi, and a chicken sandwich. I absolutely loved the food! The gnocchi and pierogis, in particular, really impressed me. I can’t wait to return and sample more of the menu. I've also heard great things about their brunch, so that will definitely be my next visit.

We tried the mustard wings, which were absolutely delicious—crispy and saucy at the same time. We also enjoyed the Elote salad, burger, pierogies, gnocchi, and Caribbean tacos. Everything was fantastic, and I only wish I had a second stomach to try more! Our server Caitlin was wonderful, and the owner, Greg, was charming. I can’t wait to go back!

I had a fantastic brunch experience with a wonderful atmosphere and excellent service. Justin was very friendly and attentive. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the grits were delightfully creamy, and the bacon was nice and crispy. I was thoroughly satisfied. While I can't speak to the cocktails, there are plenty of great options for wine and draft beer. Also, thanks to The Degenerate, Wu-Tang instrumentals will now be a part of my self-care playlist! I will definitely be returning!

I have only been here once but it was a good experience. It was a Friday night and the crowd was steady but seating was not an issue. The tables were nicely spread out, too often places try to cram tables together so this was nice. The menu caters to more of a shareable style, a handful of sandwiches and deserts outside of shareables. I ordered the grilled cheese, seems basic but the cheese is amazing, several kinds in there and done perfectly. A little portion of tomato soup to dip, so good. Tasted like a homemade sun dried tomato mix. Yum.

American ?tapas? : pulled pork sliders with fried green tomatoes, shrimp tacos, crispy chicken wings, and pirogies. House cocktails. Flowery and sweet, but not bad. We saw some dogs on the patio, so very dog friendly.
