Since 2015, we’ve been crafting elevated and unexpected scratch-made dishes served atop high-quality, hand-cut fries. Over the years, we’ve continued to push the boundaries with a no-limits culinary approach with house-made tots, premium burgers, sandwiches and wraps, creative bread pudding and milkshake flavors, and more.
PressWe went to Cabarrus Brewery and WTF was there. They know what they are doing! We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, hot dog, bacon fries, and bread pudding tots. They did NOT disappoint. It was the best fried chicken sandwich we have ever had. The honey sauce is a must! I plan to keep track of where they are headed next. And service with a smile
Everything about this place was amazing. From the classic black sitcoms playing on TV to the painting of classic hip hop stars, but ESPECIALLY the food. The lobster mac fries were the clear stand out and they really give you a LOT of lobster. Their burgers are delicious as well.
I ordered the Mac and cheese loaded fries and they were incredible. I highly recommend this business. Staff is friendly. And a very full menu with many different options. If you like to support local small businesses I would definitely check this place out.
My first time there and it was extremely good just a bunch of flavors in a bite. Very healthy portions , the people were very nice and complementing and let us take as long as we needed to order. I definitely recommend trying out everything was fresh as can be !
The best food! I went on a Saturday night & the line was very short & moved fast. Staff was incredibly nice & helpful with ordering as a first-timer. Ordered the Steak Hibachi fries & Sweet & Spicy Chicken tenders. SO good! Everything was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!
