Me and my boyfriend use to love this place but lately it’s been TERRIBLE! We decided to order to-go since we saw they would be closing in 30-45 minutes and did not want to hold them up by eating inside. I ordered the chicken tenders with fries and wanted the tenders to be tossed in hot Buffalo sauce. My boyfriend ordered the honey butter fried chicken sandwich and fries but he wanted it PLAIN with JUST the honey butter sauce and a slice of cheese. We got our order pretty quick but when we opened it up once we got to the car, my tenders had no Buffalo sauce on them. No big deal. Just went in and got a little cup of Buffalo sauce. My boyfriend opened his up and the sandwich had lots of shredded lettuce, pickle and tomato on it. It had mushed together with everything else so he decided to go in and tell them it was wrong. One of the employees had to go consult with another employee to make sure he wasn’t lying about his order being wrong.. They “remade it” and the girl said “we made sure it was right this time” when she handed it to him. When we opened it up this time in the car, we saw that they just rinsed the sandwich off. *see pics below for remade order* Did not feel safe eating it so we left it in their parking lot. What if he was allergic to the ingredients and y’all just rinsed it off while still leaving traces? Unbelievable.
Lebowski's used to be a "go to" place for us. Atmosphere was authentic Buffalo, food was authentic Buffalo, and service was great. Then the original owner sold and it went downhill. The atmosphere changed to an almost sterile environment but the food was still great and the prices were still decent. However, the service definitely dropped off. Recently Reid's Fine Foods got involved. Atmosphere and service did improve but, the menu changed radically and the prices were increased significantly. I ordered a sampler last night with wings, beef on weck slider, and fried haddock. Wings bear no resemblance to original Lebowski's wings, haddock was good but a tiny piece, and beef on weck no longer resembles real Buffalo beef on weck, except for the bread. My wife ordered a black bean burger which had no guacamole (as advertised) and the lettuce was actually three small strips about two inches long and 1/4" wide. All this to say that, as much as we want to see Lebowski's succeed, it won't happen unless the ownership wakes up. Five years ago, you couldn't get in on a Friday night without a wait. Now, it is less than half full. To ownership, please fix it soon or there likely won't be a Lebowski's!

I've heard such good things about the wings here and I finally came to try them last night. We came for dinner around 5:30 and it was already fairly crowded, but we were seated right away. We obviously had to get the wings and we were in luck--Wednesdays is their wing special. 6 for $6.95 or 10 for $9.95 I believe. Unfortunately, they don't let you split flavors so we got 6 with the Stinger sauce and 6 with the Jerkiyaki. We loved them. I preferred the heat of the Stinger sauce, but both were great. We also got the Roast Beef on Weck sandwich (with horses sauce and au jus) and the Lebowski Burger. I loved the Roast Beef with both sauces. We all agreed the burger was just ok. We got garlic fries as our side (free if you check in on Yelp!) which I loved. There were three of us and we split everything which worked out well. The service was friendly and fast. The wings are definitely some of the best in Charlotte. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you haven't already!
We went to Lebowski’s tonight for dinner. They were very busy and like most restaurants short handed. Our server did a good job and was really busy and trying very hard. Our food was good, we ordered a every thing pretzel that was just ok. My Lebowski’s sample dinner with 3 wings, a small beef on weck and a good size beer battered haddock was really good. My husband and chicken wings and did enjoy them. We were disappointed that to substitute anything had a up charge, even to order only flats for my 3 wings was going to cost $2 more so I chose not too. The remodel looks good, we definitely would go back.

1st timers, Jay tried an amaretto sour (made just right thanks Moe!) and for me, iced cold water. Menu was a compilation of bar type, quick, nibble, high foods! I love love nachos, so usually that's my go to at neighborhood grills like this one. I tried the Buffalo Chicken Street Nachos and Fried Cauliflower tossed in a creamy Thai chil sauce ;) Yum that sauce was everything friendly to my taste buds! Warning, eat them all there because once they've soaked in the yummy Thai sauce...soggy. BC Street Nachos were ok, if i ever order them again I would need more blue crumbles and less chips. Jay really didn't see anything, the hostess Shonna encouraged him to try a Mr Crispy Chicken sandwich add bacon. Jay's experience was not as yummy as mine, Jay found the chicken sandwich to be too salty however the garlic fries were perfectly seasoned.

We stopped by this restuarant while on a day trip to Charlotte NC. This place was awesome! Great atmosphere, food, and service. Perfect place just to hang out or catch a game. Oh and the food is excellent. Variety of items on the menu. Everything from wings to comfort food. We started with the Niagra Street Nachos which is Tortilla chips covered with buffalo chicken, bleu cheese crumbles, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and ranch dressing. The perfect appetizer. For my entree I ordered Maude's Meatloaf with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. I also had a side of mac and cheese. The meat loaf was the best I've had out in a while. Huge portions and delicious!. I've included a picture.The service was exceptional too. Our servers were very personable and attentive. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone that's going to be in the Charlotte area.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food at Lebowski’s was - the wings were great but the fried shrimp tacos stole the show, absolutely amazing. The Mac & Cheese was delicious too. The food runner/cook was very friendly and the bartender was attentive. Decent beer selection. I wish that they had decorated the place differently though, it lacks a little in atmosphere, I feel it would be better if it wasn’t painted so bright white and went for more of a pub feel. The bar is also really small (only six seats) so fills up really fast. In any case I think it would be hard to find bar food that is better than Lebowskis.

Looking for fish fry, Lebowski's always pops up at top for Charlotte, so we gave it a try. The Haddock fish fry was great, nicely spiced with good fries and okay cole slaw. The vibe was good with a lively atmosphere and quaint outdoor area. The service was a struggle as they were spread thin and unfortunately had an attitude because of it. I understand the constraints today, as should the staff, so they need some focus on service with a smile - it goes a long way to making the overall experience good. :)

Food was good, can not knock them on that. However, the service, or lack there of is absolutely horrible. This isn't the only review site that knocks them on it. Give you an idea, this isn't exactly where it is going to break the bank to come too. We ordered our food and waited 50 minutes for it, oh and there were only three of us in our party. Our server, Gia was non-existent. So much so, that I had to get my own napkins and drinks remained empty on the table until it was time for the bill. We are not locals and came here off of the reviews based on this site and another that rhymes with welp. Would I come back here or recommend, can not say that I would. The service was beyond horrible. Then again, if you have nothing to do and do not mind wasting your day away, this spot is beyond perfect for you.
Solid local place. Best wings we have found so far in CLT area. Sadly, we are not likely to return and dropped my overall rating and food sub-rating because the restaurant fries everything (shrimp, fish, wings, fries, etc) in the same oil. Not a fan of non-seafood items smelling and tasting like seafood, and more importantly to me, I am highly allergic to shellfish so can't risk eating food cooked in the same fryer. If management decides to separate fried foods, will be back right away and update this review!

See review. Restaurant fries all foods in same fryer so does not provide well for food allergies.
Newly renovated review: updates to the atmosphere are great, more of a warm sportsbar feel. Menu has been reduced and some fan favorites are missing. What is on the menu is excellent. The draft list was good but the prices were the same as at the brewery. Almost all the drafts were $7-8. Mountain Candy was $8.50. Please add some lower price options like yuengling, Narragansett, pbr, modelo. 1yr ago review: Food was perfect bar food. Had a bit of everything. Kids got boneless wings that were large and took home. This will be our goto wing place. Traditional wings excellent. Service was great. Beer selection very good. Ambiance was alright, not quite a dive bar with a homey feel. Sparce, or maybe the lightning was too bright? We'll be back.
Terrible waitress. Mo (that's the name on the receipt but the presumably Hispanic waitress with the mole on her face) had a terrible attitude during our entire visit. She rolled her eyes when I told her that I would place my drink order once she brought out my friends water, walked away AS I was trying to place an appetizer order, and was rude to my friend when asking about suggestions. In addition, she knew nothing about the menu and current specials to the point I had to get up and point to the special board by the door. Other than the terrible service, the food was great, minus the cole slow and the kitchen staff was pleasant when they brought out our food.

So good I forgot to take pictures. I had: wings to start with my party (yummmmm flavor: jerk meets teriyaki) and ranch water best ranch water I’ve had in a long time! Flavorful and not sweet. Then we split the Mexican-inspired salad and the honey fried chicken burger and fries. Again, great. Only thing I’d say is to chop up the salad lettuce a bit so it’s easier to eat, but the green dressing was fab. One of my dinner guests had sweet potato tots that came with frosting so basically this place rocks. Nice vibe, some tvs with the masters on, good number of seats just to chill at the bar, plenty of parking. Loved it. Come here for sure!

This place is small so if you arrive at the wrong time you'll have to wait a while for seating. The waitstaff and hostess were polite and friendly. The food was great! I had the Gold Digger Burger and a few hours later and I'm still full. The prices are good in relation to ingredients and portion size, which is rather generous. The chocolate cake tasted store bought and wasn't worth the $4.95 price. Most of the sandwiches and burgers come with a side of chips unless you substitute another side item. I was expecting house made chips but instead they were bagged, store bought though a generous portion was given. The cake and the chips are the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.
Our family stopped at Lebowski's for dinner while passing through Charlotte. After a short wait, we were seated at the outdoor patio, which was great since it was a nice evening. My wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and a side of fried apples. I ordered the Fredonia Dip served with Au Jus and chip. My wife said her meal was great. The Fredonia Dip was equally delicious. I was hoping the chips were made in-house, but it seemed they were run of the mill chips you can get an any grocery store. Our boys had the mac & cheese and the slider meal. They both had plenty to eat and enjoyed their meals as well. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Charlotte.
I absolutely hate leaving less than five star reviews but this used to be one of my favorite places to eat in Charlotte and after the owners changed recently they removed a lot of what made this such a great place to begin with. First, the atmosphere is too bright now, the decor is much more generic and there are constantly kids running around. Secondly, the food quality has changed. The menu is still basically the same but it just doesn’t taste as good as it did previously. This review isn’t based off of a lone experience but several since the business has changed hands. We loved this place previously and it would be nice to see it return to its former glory.
I’ve been going to Lebos for over 10 years and had it on the back burner due to all the changes. Just tried it again after a long hiatus. Big disappointment. Ordered the buffalo wings and the chicken philly. The wings had a good flavor but soggy as if they had been microwaved. The chicken philly was akin to airplane food or school cafeteria quality. It also had a soggy roll as if it was microwaved. Just poor quality. They also forgot to include the blue cheese dressing per the order.

Waitress greeted us within 10 mins. Did my drink perfectly. Food came out quick. Enjoyed my meal even though it wasn’t as good as last time (i had blackened salmon instead of grilled salmon like before) Started getting busy around 630pm. Waitress came back maybe twice to check on us and then disappeared. It took an hour for us for someone to grab her for us to get our check. We waited way to late to eat and pay. However, I still like the food and will go back. Hopefully, this situation won’t happen again

5/14/2018 I went to Lebowski’s Neighborhood Grill for lunch! It was recommended to me and I have to say it was a good choice. I sat at the bar and ordered a D9 Viking Froach Sour beer and it was delicious. For lunch I ordered the Buffalo Trifecta and it was a lot of food! It had a beef sandwich slider, 6 wings, two pieces of fried fish, and garlic fries. The only complaint I have is the fries were over cooked but no big deal. I would highly recommend this place to visitors and locals to give it a try! It does get busy around the typical lunch time and dinner hours! Enjoy!!!!
This place has great "bar food". Wings, burgers, sandwiches, etc. Beer selection is pretty good, too. I had the Fredonia, which is like a French dip, but added horseradish to it, because I wanted the provolone cheese. My original order was made incorrectly -they gave me a sweet sauce for the sweet potato tots instead of the horseradish sauce, which looks very similar. The mistake was quickly fixed and I had a new sandwich in no time.

My son loved the wings. My sister and I got the Beef on 'weck. We were disappointed. Fries were good. The sandwich was not NY quality BoW. It was WAY too much onion, so much it overpowered the taste of any beef. The beef was tough when it wasn't super thin. What was the best Beef on 'weck in CLT, has become just another roast beef sandwich. Weck is shirt for kimmelweck Disclaimer: Born and raised within 60 miles of Buffalo.

My kind of bar with excellent food. The Niagara Street nachos are legendary. Their wings are top notch. Great beer selection with lots of local brews on tap. Service has always been a strong point as well. Case in point, I hadn't been in there for a few years due to moving out of the area. Ended up there last weekend and our favorite server was working and remembered me, my wife and our order instantly. Also, it is the hangout for Buffalo transplants. Nothing wrong with that but it is something to consider if you are trying to watch the Panthers play.
New owner's changed several menu items, and not for the better. I LOVED their haddock filets!, but not now, they changed to a beer batter that has absolutely no taste compared to the original. No more meat loaf, and the beef on weck is now a beef on a bun! They re-did the interior, which looks great, but for a summer day, the AC either wasn't working or it wasn't on? Unless the food changes back, these new owners have lost a regular customer.

First time visiting. Table was not wiped down or cleaned, waitress/bartender girl took an order and served beers to another couple right beside us that had come in 5 minutes after us, then proceeded to check on another table directly after, while walking past us again without asking us anything. Never got to order food and left immediately after seeing this. Extremely disrespectful attitude. I had heard good things about this place and try to give people a chance, but very unacceptable behavior.

The new owners changed a lot. We got the cauliflower “wings” as we always used to. The flavor was still the same, however, there was maybe 1/4th of the amount you used to get for the same price. Ordered the Mac and cheese “big plate” for $15 (added protein) and while it certainly did come on a “big plate” the Mac and cheese was in a maybe 4inch skillet on the plate. The same size as a side for any other place I’ve been to. Left hungry after spending over $30 in food.

This place used to be authentic Buffalo and worth the drive from North Charlotte. Came back after reopening to find they had removed so many of the original favorites from the menu. As it slowly becomes just another generic bar, the natives will enjoy it, but those of us transplants from the Rust Belt will have to settle for Taste of Buffalo in Huntersville.

Sadly the new ownership and post renovations have lost part of the former charm and soul of the establishment. Although the service staff is friendly they're inexperienced making many mistakes with food not coming out together, 2 of four orders we're lost in the kitchen and had to be remade. And then the split bill for a table of four was completely wrong.

I don't think they changed the oil they cook with. I can usually tolerate something not good and just deal with it. I legitimately threw away all of my food after eating some of it. The taste and smell was like an ash tray and burnt oil. I ate here years ago and enjoyed it, but this was worse than what a 4 year old would cook. Unfortunately I will not ever try food from here again even if it's free.

This place is one of my all tome favorite places to eat!!! They have cauliflower bites and they are amazing. The service is great and they have a ton of options for a vegetarian. It's over an hour away from our house but we will make the trip just for the food. we've never really had to wait a long time when we go in and they are always friendly. Even my kids love going here. It can be an awesome date night or a fun time with your family. We love it here!
Food is very good. The service is just ok. There was a rude young lady that "greeted" us. The young man that waited on us had a very "flippant" attitude. Very good fried cauliflower, wings, tenders, etc. In fact, this place has GREAT food and usually great service. Maybe just a bad day. No matter what, it's worth it!!

After a long day, we stopped in late for dinner. They seemed short handed, since the bartender was also waiting tables. In spite of this, the service was excellent. Our food was fresh and delicious. For a neighborhood spot, the food felt a little higher quality than I expected. They also had a decent beer selection. We enjoyed our experience here, and would definitely go back.

REALLY good food, at least what I had. Fried pickle chips were great, garlic fries are amazing, and everything else I had was great too. Service was good, they have great beer selection, allot of which are local breweries beer. Not very spacious and everyone is seated very close together when it's a full house, and the parking lot is not very big. I did like the Big Labowski theme they did. I'm glad I stopped in, overall good experience.
Other than their paranoia of covid by having no menus to view (other than on-line off your phone) this establishment was decent. The full halibut with fries and slaw was delicious! The fried cauliflower for appetizer was quite a treat for the taste buds and they're assortment of on tap beers was reasonably priced. This was our first stop in Charlotte NC.

A small bar with big flavor! This place has friendly staff that are warm and welcoming. It’s the perfect blend of cozy neighborhood restaurant and awesome sports bar. Wings are award winning and you will see why! The Greek salad, Fried Haddock and Roast Beef on weck are all so delicious!! You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Beer/Wine & Cocktail list is also full of great choices with good variety!
We've wanted a haddock fish fry for a long time, and we weren't disappointed. There's a thin, very flavorful crust on the fish that was delicious. Traditional Buffalo fish has a beer batter, but we didn't miss it at all. The fries were thick with skins on and well done, not just your average fry. The Italian pasta salad was good, too. Good, friendly service!

Lebowski’s Neighborhood Grill is a fun and casual spot with delicious food and friendly service. I enjoyed their chicken wings with white Russian sauce and their haddock fish fry, which were both crispy and tender. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. The only downside was that they ran out of some beers and the music was too loud. I give them 4 stars for a great experience.
Had the Saturday special ( Ship Weck ). Fish was large, tasty and moist. Sandwich (slider) was tasty and moist and served with real horseradish. Garlic fries were good and lots of them. Wife had meatloaf tasted like Mom used to make, good. Son had hot Buffalo wings, we both approved. Not a large place. Reasonably priced. Overall a good experience. Will go again, the next time I come to Charlotte.
Service was mid. They were playing some really weird distracting shows on giant tvs and playing very poppy music. Think Firework by Katy Perry. The food is pretty good. I will come back.

So sad it took me so long to find this place. Don't go into downtown Charlotte much but I will be returning. Really folks- best quality food - best tasting I've had in a long time. Especially for you northerners - the haddock dinner was better than wegmans & Palmers. The fried chicken sandwich was outstanding (so says my daughter). Even the fries actually have flavor. Definitely a keeper.
I really loved my visit. Like everywhere near there it is small and crowded and the parking lot is tiny, but the food was good. Delicious is one thing but it felt not like just a new place but an original experience. Got the roast beef on the burger and loved it and would like to go back to try other stuff. Andasked for my burger medium...and they cooked it medium. God bless em for that.
Ordered the buffalo wings with a parmesan chicken slider and macaroni n cheese ... it was absolutely delicious. Wings werent tiny and cooked to perfection. Blue cheese tasted homemade. Slider was basically a whole sandwich, and the macaroni was super cheesy. This was fire. Will definitely be coming back.

This was our first visit on January 14. It is definitely a sports bar, but the menu has lots of variety and plenty of TV's and a nice craft beer selection. I ordered a burrito with haddock and my friend the haddock dinner with garlic fries. Food was great, atmosphere was comfortable and prices overall are very reasonable. We will be returning to try the wings and other items.
Continues to be my favorite wings in Charlotte. I moved here somewhat recently and have tried half a dozen different wings and Lebowski’s is the best. Burgers are excellent as well. Very friendly staff and always quick with pickup orders now during the pandemic. Love the home atmosphere and prices are fair as well. Definitely a happy customer and will continue to eat here.
I was hangry, feeling like some chicken wings. I wanted to go to one of my usual stops, but my wife wanted to try some place different. I am so happy we did. The wings here were just awesome, best I have found in Charlotte. Huge selection of drinks and great service as well. Do yourself a favor and go...also get the garlic fries, you will not be disappointed.
Went to Lebowskis to watch a few of the March madness games with some friends. Nice little neighborhood bar with good food and a plentiful drink menu. Seems to be a Buffalo Bills bar, so if you’re into that, more power to you. I would definitely come back as it wasn’t too crowded and the food was good. I’d compare it to like a Dilworth Neighborhood Grill
i recently ordered a beek-on-weck. the beef was tender, the fries were ok, but the Kummelweck roll was awful! this roll was nothing but a hamburger roll topped with caraways seeds. the Kummelweck roll is a kaiser type roll, topped with a little kosher salt and a sprinkle of caraway seeds. this was overkill on the seeds and no salt at all. not good......
I ordered the Trifeca and was not disappointed. Wings was awesome. Sandwich was superb. Haddock (fish) was tasty.

Fun atmosphere, unfortunately since COVID hit we’ve noticed the food is really hit-or-miss, assuming probably due to turnover in kitchen staff. The main problem is the food is usually WAY too salty. However, overall still love going here, the drinks are great, food is usually good also. Definitely recommend the anchor burger, it’s my favorite!
I’m originally from the Buffalo area, and heading to SC to visit my Aunt and Uncle. I asked for deconstructed beef-on-week to surprise them with, and there was no problem! Very accommodating and the service was excellent!! Thank you for helping me with the surprise of Buffalo NY comfort food! Special thanks to Gia! Great customer service!!
Had to stay overnight in Charlotte because my flight was cancelled. We wanted good wings and a cool atmosphere. This place delivered. I had regular buffalo. Wife got the breakfast burger. Both were great. Bartender was nice and chatted with us a lot, plus have good recommendations on food. Great food, cold beer, and awesome atmosphere.
If you liked the old Lebowski’s, don’t bother coming back. I ordered the chicken wings because they used to be awesome - traditional Buffalo style chicken wings. Well, now they’re just like every other places, with the exception this place serves them luke warm and overcooked… What a drag.

I went back after they reopened thinking that I would finally get my fried haddock again. They changed it!! The beer batter doesn’t taste like anything. Super disappointed with that. It was the reason I even drove an hour to this place every week . The service was amazing like always though. My kid loved the tenders!
Whether you know anything about Buffalo, have eaten their amazing hometown cuisine, or think about 6 months of winter; this is the place for you. The wings are wonderful, the beef on weck the best and the fish fry, fantastic. Parking is almost as bad as the Sabres and the Bills but the food is better than either.
Worst service (downright rude). Waited close to an hour for a water. When the drinks came they were undrinkable. We complained and they made us pay anyway. If you have any self respect skip this dive. Smells like someone sprayed some glad on a grease trap.

If you like haddock, this is something special. A friend from NY suggested lunch after church last week and I'm hooked. Outside patio seating and quick service. YUM!!

This was a hopping little place for lunch. It was a nice get away for us from the conference we were attending. Everyone was friendly and the food was fine. Prices were fair. Parking was skinny. There is also parking across the street, I would recommend that, especially if you are in a larger vehicle.
Great food. Friendly service at this Bills bar.

Great service and great food. I went on a Monday around 8pm. I was seated immediately and had a drink in moments. I had the roast beef on ‘Weck and blackened wings as a starter. The food was great and the service was just as good. Monday is $3 mystery beer (bartenders choice), I wasn’t disappointed.
Good food, but outright terrible service. Waitress blatantly ignored us three different times, never once checked in, offered a refill, or even acknowledged us. Again, the food wasn't bad, but plenty of other places have equally good food and don't treat you like you don't exist. Will never be back.
Great neighborhood spot. Classic low key bar. Not a ton of TVs if you are trying to watch a game but the place is fairly small so you can see a couple TVs from any table. Food is solid and drinks are reasonably priced. Will definitely come back regularly. Parking is a little tight, but not too bad.
Atmosphere was great. We went on Saturday football game day. The crowd was lively. The service was not so great. The wings are ok. The kids portions were extremely small. Maybe I was expecting a better experience because I read such good things about the place on Charlotte Agenda and other places.
Bring back the original owners! This is no longer the Lebowski’s we knew and loved for many years. It’s now flavorless, overpriced and is certainly not a Buffalo restaurant anymore. If we wanted Reid’s, we would’ve gone there. Won’t be back…

Hot Wings and Fried Pickles
How do you expect anyone to order take out/contact you when you don’t answer the phone or have a line that works? Edit: Due to not answering the phone. If you want to order you have to do so through Uber Eats which up charges several dollars on some items… yeah… you guys lost my business.
Good food and good times; Lebowskis always delivers!

This is my go-to for fish and chips. And I like their wings too! It’s consistently good, I’ve dined in a few times too when there are games on, it’s a good place to watch it! They have outdoor seating too.

Ate there for lunch at recommendation of my aunt. Great atmosphere and wall- art paying homage to the Dude and friends. Monique took good care of us, the food was out of the kitchen really fast even at peak Friday lunch. Food was tasty, too early to test the bartender on this trip.
Hadn’t been in years. Recent updates are great and the menu still has old favorites. Wings were great, highly recommend the Sweet Thai Chili. Our server, Kiara, was phenomenal, providing one of the better dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Especially at a bar restaurant. More
The Breckenridge Salad was fantastic. The menu has several things that sound worth trying. This was our first visit but we definitely plan to return.

Had the fried Haddock this time. It was fantastic. Wife had the beef on weck, it was super as well. One of my favorite little neighborhood places. Service was great too. To the owner, your staff did a great job today. The food flew out of the kitchen and everything was perfect.
Absolutely spectacular food. I didn't get to try the specialty cocktails, but I will absolutely be back at another time to try them at a later date. The staff and service were very friendly and courteous. Definitely a great spot for a lunch date. I highly recommend this spot.
Being from western NY and now living in central NY it's nice to see Buffalo Bills pride down south! The wings hold up to western NY standards and the beef on weck was excellent! Would definitely recommend this place for any fellow new Yorkers looking for some comfort food!
First time there and got the phatty melt. Id ra9p2t6ther eat a mcdonalds burger. Burgers lppk like frozen beef burgers and not fresh made

Fried cauliflower was Xtra slamming I could have had it as a meal. Very nice service and nice lay out. The food is nice hot and good and atmosphere is inviting. Parking in the back is spacious and open I'll be a regular now. It was my first time but far from last.
Very lazy cooks. I ordered the Greek pita with chicken. The chicken nor the cucumbers were diced. The whole chicken breast was placed on the pita. And the cucumbers were wheel sliced. The sandwich would have been much better if the ingredients were diced to bite
The Gold Digger burger and the garlic fries were JOY in my mouth!!! We had the wings for appetizers and they were nice and crispy. Absolutely delicious and worth the visit. The service and the Martini's were great also! I'll definitely visit again and recommend.
Love Lebowski’s! One of the best places to get fried fish! The wings we got were also spectacular, extra crispy with gold rush sauce is bomb! The fries are great, however with them being in the cup the bottom ones get a little soggy. All in all love this place!
OMG! I love this place. The staff if always wonderful. They usually have food out quickly. It can get a bit crowded but the staff handles it well. Love the food. Love the vibe. And live the Upstate NY representation. Go Purple Eagles- Niagara University Alumna
The atmosphere was cozy and quiet , the bar was set up nicely with a attentive and entertaining host . My waiter was helpful . The food was filling . I tried the Lebowski and it was not out of element . The WECK was unique . I'd abide by this restaurant.
We ordered a variety of food. Chicken, salmon, haddock and wings. It was all good and the price was very reasonable. Atmosphere is basic fast casual with a bar. Families with kids were eating there.

First and last time eating here. Ordered a buffalo chicken wrap...got a cauliflower wrap instead. After 15+ minutes I finally get a new wrap with a hair on it. I'll not eat here again. Service was awful, spent 40+ minutes to eat some french fries. More
Best food I've had out in a while. Our server Phil was amazing and very accurately described what "weck" is. Being from the south I had no idea but we will definitely be back. Thanks Phil. You rock

This is one of our go to spots to watch a Sunday football game. The food is solid and they have a good drink selection. My upstate NY folks like it for the wings, beef on weck, and Labatt.

The bang bang cauliflower was off the charts! The wings were a disappointment; dry overdone and small. The fries were good. Drink specials are pretty good. Very comfy laid back place. Luv they have a late night menu and happy ur 2x a day...?!
The latest reviews had me worried, but honestly the wings were pretty slamming to be honest. Get the GOLDEN!

We had a late lunch here. We were seated in the bar area. Fast friendly service. We had salads and though portion size was generous and they tasted very good the fruit flies were disgusting. Flying in our faces and all over the salads. We
We've been here a few times. Tonight we walked in and were seated immediately, but it was several minutes (more than 10) before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. Once the error was brought to the staff's attention, they bent over
One of the best places to get wings in Charlotte! Such a good deal on wings night. Their fries are also good so recommend as a side order. Their blue cheese dressing/dipping sauce is also one of the best we've tasted in Charlotte :)
Without a doubt, my favorite wing place in Charlotte. The wings are great but so are the fries, sliders and spinach dip (the best I’ve ever had). In addition, it’s always clean when I go in and the employees have always been polite.
Lebowski’s has such a fun atmosphere and awesome bartenders. Rhonda is our go to - she has great energy! We love the Christmas decorations it feels like a Christmas pop up bar.
