Reviews for Blackfinn Ameripub Ballantyne in Charlotte, NC

I?ve eaten here before and of course the dine-in experience is always better than the to-go. However, yesterday I ordered this... and chicken tenders and before leaving I saw my order was incorrect. I ate three shrimp and had to pull over on the side of theroad to throw up. It wasn?t like you all were about to close for the night, nor did you all have a packed house on the inside. Ieven heard the bartender say this is the third order that has gone out incorrect in a row. I?m just disappointed in not only theservice but the quality of food. To have spent $30 on myself and included a tip , I will not be going back. Look at the picturebelow . Would you eat this ? Read more

Upon arrival your greeted by the hostess and seated shortly thereafter. I went on a Thursday night during the first NFL kickoff... game. They we're actually doing trivia while I was there. I ordered the calamari appetizer. It was good. Not too undercooked orovercooked. They have $5 drink specials on Thursday. So I had one drink. I had just got out of a meeting; and had already eatenbefore hand so I was just wasting time and seeing what the experience was like here. It was decent for the Ballantyne area.Nothing too fancy. Nice waitstaff and seemed clean. I would have to return to try the many other menu options they have anothertime. But definitely would return. Read more

We came on labor day for lunch! We were seated quickly and the atmosphere was really nice. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our food... came out in a timely manner. We had the shrimp appetizer, forgot the picture! We all had entrees. The food was very good. Thefries are love. My baby loved her kids meal pizza. I personally didnt like the mixed drinks. I cant explain it. I tried 2 ofthem and they werent for me. I had the blt chicken tacos!! Their tortillas are the best. My love had the bama buttermilk chickensandwich. One kid had a pub burger and the other a buffalo chicken sandwich! Read more

We are in town as I am working for a local hospital so we are taking time when we can to try out a new local restaurant. We... found this place and since it was close to our hotel we wanted to check it out. We walked in and stood at the host stand for afew minutes longer than we had anticipated which didn't give us a good first impression. However, we were then seated and ourserver ended up being quite good. I had the shrimp and grits while my g/f had the grilled turkey meat loaf. I loved my dishwhile she did like the meat loaf however the sweet potato side was just way too sweet. Outside of that, we had a pleasant diningexperience with the great service and reasonable prices.

I was here on 6/18/22 and was lucky enough to get outdoor seating on that beautiful day. The waitress was so kind and patient.... Unfortunately the food wasn't great. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Presentation was great, the dish just packed flavor. Thewaffle itself was delicious but the chicken nor thr home fries had flavor. I was very disappointed I love fries and if theyadded some salt and pepper it would've been good. You shouldn't have to depend on sauce or ketchup for flavor, they shouldenhance the dish. Read more

The service was good and the staff was kind. However, the rest was not preferable.a big turnoff is when food is brought out... within 2-3 minutes of receiving appetizers, salad. Everything was just placed together before giving time to each course. Wehad a group and the appetizers ordered were not good. The fried devil eggs tasted like plain eggs with panko crumbs. There wasabsolutley no flavor. The brie was oversalted and that took away from the flavor of the brie and cranberries. The drinks weredissapointing. Millionaire cocktail was over salted and tasted only like sour mix and didnt come with the black lava salt thatwas advertised. The dragon berry cocktail was okay but nothing special. And the long island ice tea tasted like a lemon drop.Every drink ordered was overdone with sour mix, making it so absolutley no other taste was possible. The entrees everyoneseemed to enjoy. The ribs appeared to fall right off the bone. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked perfect.The grits are a grit "cake." Which i was pleasantly surprised with. The side salad i ordered, for $6.99, was not worth the priceand was barely tossed in dressing. I really enjoyed the dish. Im just disappointed the quality of the appetizers and drinks weresubpar.

We haven?t been to Blackfinn a few years. Our most recent visit was a nice surprise. We enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful... day! The menu seems to have improved. My wife had the ?HIPPIE BOWL? (pulled chicken, quinoa, sesame and basil, topped with freshavocado). I had the ?CALI BURGER? (with a black bean burger by choice) - wi pepperjack cheese, green goddess, sliced avocado,fresh tomato, house-made pickles served on a lettuce cup. We also had amazing appetizers, the ?OUTER BANKS SHRIMP AND CRAB DIP?and ?CAULIFLOWER TOTS? - both were wonderful. It was too much food, however. So, some went home with us! Highly recommend.
