My easy bake oven could’ve whipped up a better “three course meal” than Lincoln Street Kitchen was presenting for 60 United States Dollars. Where do I start? I arrived an hour late to a friend’s birthday in their private lounge to find that they had only been served salad – our only choice of appetizer. The server immediately took my dinner and drink order with a poor attitude, which shockingly got worse during our dining experience. I ordered one of the three options available as an entree which was the blackened chicken. If you’re going to add pork to a chicken dish, perhaps we should make that very, very clear. Not everyone wants a side of pork for every dinner option especially when the menu does not make it clear (adding “contains pork” requires less than 20 characters! and asking about any dietary restrictions, less than 20 seconds).
Fast forward, I was served the blackened chicken dish with pork sausage bits I wasn’t made aware of. I flagged down our server who I informed that I could not eat pork or any of the dishes that we were allowed to order from this special private dinner menu (steak frites, and some other pork dish.). He shrugged. Literally shrugged. Then went on to say he would make the chef aware. Chef offered veggie pasta. I agreed to not complicate dinner. I received the pasta. Baby, I could’ve overcooked that at the house. It was actually offensive. Watered down pasta with crumbles of cheese and bits of broccoli.
Then, another server who was in charge of running the food asked how the food was. She actually seemed concerned about my satisfaction as opposed to our main server and bartender who couldn’t care less. I informed her that I did not like the pasta but not to worry. I started to plan on nursing the salad and charging the $80 lost to a “full course meal and drink” to the game. However, she was so lovely and had the kitchen provide a trout dish. Although the trout and sauce were underseasoned, at least I didn’t starve. Hallelujah!
Now for the dessert. Respectfully, no. Just no. The texture of this Mexican chocolate tart reminded me of something I cooked up in my easy bake oven when I was five. Even a light bulb could have served a better dessert which left me wondering if there even was an oven back there or just a microwave and a tiny fryer. Afterall, each dish took around forty-five minutes to arrive. That was unacceptable.
Overall, I only came for a birthday dinner and will never be back.

Last night, my real estate team, The Wanner Group, and I visited Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails in downtown Charlotte, and overall it was an outstanding experience. We had a party of five, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone for a great evening.
The space itself is absolutely beautiful—modern, warm, and inviting with an industrial-chic vibe that feels both upscale and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a team dinner, date night, or entertaining clients. The lighting, exposed brick, and thoughtfully designed bar area create a relaxed but elevated environment that really stands out in Uptown.
Service was attentive and friendly without feeling rushed. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. Drinks came out promptly and were crafted well—clearly a cocktail program that’s been thoughtfully put together.
As for the food—phenomenal overall. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The entrees were cooked well, seasoning was on point, and the menu felt curated rather than overwhelming. You can tell care goes into both the quality of ingredients and the execution.
The only minor hiccup of the night was the Steak Frites, which were a bit chewy compared to the rest of the meal. That said, it was a small detail in an otherwise excellent dining experience and didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed everything else.
Lincoln Street is exactly the kind of place you want in the heart of Charlotte—great food, a stylish atmosphere, and a welcoming vibe. We had a fantastic time, and it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend to friends, clients, and colleagues alike. We’ll absolutely be back!

Great food and ambience. Had the Wagyu and eggs that were very good, but they give you very little steak. An employee (not my server) shared that the current economy made them choose between raising the price or lowering the portion size and clearly they went with the latter. Personally, I’d rather have the higher price and bigger portion size. In my opinion if you’re going for steak, you’re already mentally prepared for a steeper price. The taste of the food was amazing though. The server Nicholas was nice as well. The biscuit is so good.

Came here for brunch and it was just okay—they have a pretty limited brunch menu, and no typical breakfast platter. If you want a regular breakfast plate, you have to build it one $6 side at a time. I was excited about the fruit salad bc it came with blackberries, but the apples were stale-tasting. My partner go a mixed fruit mimosa and it was served almost warm, like the juice is stored at room temp. The biscuit with gravy was actually phenomenal though 10/10, and our waitress was lovely. Only ended up here because Ruby Sunshine had an hour wait, and Lincoln Street was able to seat us immediately on a Sunday at noon.

I had a great experience here for dinner and cocktails. My dinner tasted good and was a good size portion. My cocktails were well crafted with care. The best part of my experience here was because of Grace, who is a bartender here. Despite being short staffed on a Saturday, she made me feel well taken care of and welcome at her bar. I can tell that she genuinely cares about others and that is a trait that translates well for providing great customer service. I live abroad and am not sure when I will be in Charlotte again, but would definitely come back if I am in the area.

The last time I came here it was about 3 years ago for a friend’s birthday. It was wonderful then and tonight seemed even more exceptional. I got this amazing pasta with meatballs (3 types of meat) in a garlic cream sauce with asparagus. My drink of choice was the Desert Bloom. My friend got Steak frites— also exceptional. Sammy (Sammie?) was our server and she was amazing! Thanks again for such a great visit!!! I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent dining experience – on numerous occasions – but especially for dinner/late night cocktails.
While they do it all and do it all reasonably well at that. They excel at creating a dinner & cocktail experience that feels both hip upscale yet full of southern charm. As our waitress stated, you really can’t go wrong with anything on their dinner menu – the chef creates beautifully balanced flavors. The staff are all very pleasant and attentive. And overall they are able to accommodate even last minute reservations which is very appreciated.
The only negative for me personally is that the inside gets a bit loud, good if you like the crowd feel, but the rooftop and (new) patio dining in front are perfect spots to enjoy a chill meal and some fresh evening air!
Pictures: Tuno Crudo (100% would recommend – shocked by how good the flavors mix), Pan-Roasted Chicken w/gumbo & okra, Black Striped Seabass, Citrus Creme Brulee (best desert in Southend for anyone who loves citrus). Drinks: Hanging Garden & Ember’s Kiss. Would recommend all of these!

Hosted my boyfriend’s surprise birthday party here and I cannot recommend this place enough for a private event. The Green Room is the perfect setting for a group of 20-30 people. The staff was extremely accommodating. The food & drinks were delicious. All around an excellent experience!

Great Saturday brunch at Lincoln Street. 2nd visit here and the biscuit and gravy was just as good as I remembered! Multiple people enjoyed the huevos rancheros. Bacon and hash were excellent. Reserved a table for 5 the morning of with no issues. Definitely walk ins available for smaller groups. Make sure to arrive with your whole party or they won’t seat you. Great service, highly recommend.

Food is freshly made with great flavor! Prices are awesome and the location is beautiful. They have a special before 6:30pm- Appetizers for $5. The deviled eggs were great (they aren’t sweetened with relish). I had the Pan Chicken with a side of Brussels, perfectly cooked, sauce was phenomenal. Drink- Yellow Ranger, which was just sweet enough and strong! The staff members were incredibly kind and always available for assistance. The lighting is very low so be mindful if you have vision issues. Parking is on the one way road just outside the location which is perfect if you have heels. Price was $54.00- Chicken, deviled eggs, extra side of Brussels, and 1 cocktail.
