Had a pretty amazing blackened Swiss cheeseburger. The fries were excellent. Better get there quick they're closing in mid March.

I love this place ! I'm sad to hear it's time for the owners to retire & close the restaurant. I understand & I wish them the best:-) One of Charlotte's few locally owned classics , it will be truly missed:-(

Fenwick's never disappoints! Great ( friendly & competent!!) staff, cozy, and the food is among the best in Charlotte. Particularly wonderful are the steak sandwich, hamburger ( actually can cook them to the requested temperature), the pecan cream pie, bread pudding, salad dressings, tomato bisque.

We stopped at Fenwick's on Friday night (July 19, 2024), as the latter part of date night. We already had dinner but we were craving something sweet from one of our favorite, Charlotte neighborhood restaurants. Fenwick's was the perfect choice. The owner (Don) was sitting at the bar and he moved so that we could get two seats, together. Yep, we do like sitting at the bar. Fenwick's typically has some special desserts on the menu but they were gone so we went with their staples, a piece of Key Lime pie and a slice of bread pudding. We both had a glass of Proseco to wash it down. Soooo good. Fenwick's will be celebrating their 40th anniversary in mid-August. As Don said last night, nothing lasts forever. There are no specific plans to close Fenwick's at this time but if you like the place as much as we do, make a plan to stop there for dinner.

Nice tiny restaurant where everyone can hear your conversation. Great service, only downfall to this place was the food. The food wasn't bad but wasn't anything shy of "Basic". The burger lacked flavor and fried shrimp came with two small Togo sized containers of sauce. Overall I'd give this place a 7 out of 10 food wise. Overall paid $50 for two entrees and two sodas. Not bad but not worth a revisit for me personally.

This place is classic small intimate upscale great food. The service is family style. They do something different every night of the week. We went in Tuesday so they were doing creole food. I'm from New Orleans and was a little nervous and skeptical. I had the chicken and sausage jambalaya. Amazing! They put an extra piece of blackened sausage on top. Yumm. Jacob had the red beans and rice which is very authentic and delicious. We got a side of smothered cabbage which is the best cabbage I've ever had. It was creamy cheesy goodness. We did the fried shrimp appetizer and Janet did the cup of tomato heaven bisque. Also, delicious. We all ate from the bread pudding. WOW! New Orleans is known for bread pudding. It's authentic with a twist of buttery bourbon goodness and fresh whipped cream. Better than anything I've had before. I normally don't do dessert but had to try. It was sensuous and delicious. Can't recommend this place enough. It's great food and great service with a local feel.

When you want great comfort food this is the place to go. My first visit I had a great salad. Today I tried the fried flounder. It was delicious with a very generous serving. I really like how this is a place that the regulars recognize each other. Hopefully I will become one of those. Nice, quick lunches.

My wife took me here for my birthday dinner and I'm very glad she did. It's a very small restaurant, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in amazing food! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer suggestions. The Cajun burger was on special so I decided to try it, and it was fantastic! Their menu isn't very big, but the food is very good, so whatever you order is sure to be delicious. There is parking on site, but not a lot so plan accordingly. I'd definitely like to come back and try something else and if you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.
