    Salmon bites, fried pickles and fried chicken were all good. Three butter pecan waffle had great flavor but was a little too doughy for me. The latimer was just OK, but I'm also not a frozen drink person, so try at your own risk. Our server Ronnie was great. Atmosphere was great as well.

    Always a fantastic experience at Deans in Charlotte. I love bringing new people in to experience Deans and last night presented that opportunity once again. I brought 2 new people that had never dined with Deans and they both said, “hands down the best steak they had ever eaten”! Which was the bone in filet Deans style

    Our experience yesterday was spectacular. The only negative was the host who didn’t let anyone know we were seated. Other than that, everything else was on point. The server was friendly, smiled often, was on top of drinks promptly, & checked on us frequently. The cheddar bay biscuits were hot & fresh out the oven. The lobster dip and our lobster meals were delicious. We also ordered a take out meal late that they made quickly. This was excellent service and good food for this price point. Kudos.
