new south kitchen & bar

my wife and i love this place. great food and service. thefriedoysters are excellent as well as the shrimp and grits. it is a good to restaurant for us. can't wait to go back.

excellent experience. we ate at this restaurant last saturday. the new southern cuisine theme was what attracted us to the restaurant. there was plenty of parking and it's located in a shopping center so it's easy to find. there was no wait for a table though the restaurant was busy. i rate restaurants experiences based three things; food, service and atmosphere.

food - we ordered two appetizers for the table. the pork spring rolls were very tasty far better than i expected them to be!friedgreen tomato's are one of our favorite dishes and the ones prepared here did not disappoint. very tasty also! i ordered the panfriedchicken for my entree. i'm not sure i would call what i was served pan fired. it was more sauteed than fried. part of that may be on me, as i was thinking southernfriedchicken when i ordered it. one bite however eliminated any regrets on my part. it was delicious. it was served with seasoned mash potatoes and green beans. the chicken was seasoned boneless breasts covered with a light batter and covered in a light white sauce/gravy along with the mashed potatoe . the portion sizes were generous and pleasantly plated. my wife had the sliced turkey breast. she was quite happy with it. i had a taste of it also. the turkey was very moist and served with dressing, cranberries, and mashed potatoes. nicely prepared and plated also. dessert was a shared chocolate tort. very rich but very good also. on a scale of 1-10 with ten being the best i rate the food at 9. it was good!

service- our waiter was efficient though he forgot a couple of things asked for and had to be reminded. not a major mistake. the meal took a while to come out of the kitchen, but the place was busy and the wait was appropriate given the number of diners and the diner hour. on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best i'd rate the service as a 7.

atmosphere - this restaurant looked clean, table settings were neat and orderly, and the decor more or less standard restaurant design with an eye toward an upscale look. 1 - 10, i'd give the atmosphere a 7 also.

we will definitely go back here again. the menu had a lot of good options and i'm looking forward to sampling more of them!

i enjoyed my experience at new south kitchen. i had thefriedgreen tomatoes and meatloaf. both were fantastic. the dessert was amazing. i had the pound cake and my husband had the pecan bread pudding and they were both wonderful. i will go back again

panthers andfriedgreen tomatoes. hi chris,
go panthers!

also, i loved yourfriedgreen tomatoes today...they really hit the spot. service was impeccable as well.

new south kitchen is truly a hidden gem. you should not be a secret!!!
best,
jessie.

tries too hard. the food is meant to be upscale southern food, which is difficult to pull off. we had the meatloaf and the panfriedchicken special. meatloaf was good but not a $15 dish. the potato cakes were a highlight. the panfriedchicken had a bland breading and the potatoes could have come from a box. if you want good southern food in charlotte go to mert's in downtown.

fried green tomatoes were a little mushy. the lemon grilled chicken sandwich was awesome. the goat cheese really made the sandwich. the fries are good and crunchy. all the food was very fresh. my mom got the biscuits and gravy, which was a tad bit too salty, but still had a good flavor.friedblueberry pie was surprisingly good. all in all, i will definitely be back.
