South Charlotte’s cleanest kitchens revealed

Some of your favorite South Charlotte spots just aced their health inspections! From the classic Park Road Soda Shoppe and Starbucks (both scoring 98 or higher) to hidden gems like Saigon Café and Sunflour Baking Company, it’s reassuring to see so many local favorites keeping things spotless. Even the busy Harris Teeter delis and meat markets scored high marks. But a few places, like Subham Supermarket’s meat market, landed in the low 90s—worth noting if you’re picky about where you grab lunch. Anyone surprised by these scores? Do you check inspection ratings before dining out? #Food #CharlotteEats #SouthCharlotte

Charlotte’s new wine bar flips the script

At Emmy Lou’s in Dilworth, the wine bottles practically introduce themselves. Instead of stuffy menus, handwritten shelf notes break down 200+ bottles in plain language—think “If you love Sancerre but hate the price, try me!” Locals are loving the laid-back vibe, communal tables, and a menu packed with shareable plates made from local ingredients. It’s become a true neighborhood hangout where you can learn, laugh, and discover new favorites without feeling out of place.
