Y'all meet me at Sundries

It's true, it's a new day at Providence Road Sundries. The woman's bathroom no longer has a Beatles collage on the walls (complete with beads and silk flowers at one point), and the "dining" side of the joint has gone through more changes than a pop star trying to revive a career by shaving her head and going into rehab. But folks - it's still Sundries, good ole reliable chicken fried steak on Thursdays and some of the best chilli in town Sundries, even with the gozillion new TV screens and routine changeover of video games. Where else can you sit at the same booth where you dad sat (or your friend's dad, or at least for sure SOMEBODY'S dad), order from a menu that feels like a part of your DNA, and look across the street at one of Charlotte's oldest neighborhoods, whether for an hour or an afternoon with friends? Wait staff will go through changes, particularly when there's a new owner in town, but the kids in place now are doing a great job of knowing folks when they come in the door and taking care of everybody pretty well, if the raucous laughter from the back of the bar and all the families on the dining side are any indication. I sort of wonder if I should post this - nobody gets my booth.

• Pros: Fantastic neighborhood pub
• Cons: the parking is a challenge - make friends with somebody in the neighborhood or meet and ride together

What has happened to this place?!?

I agree with most of the recent reviews; What happened to Providence Rd Sundries? I have been going to this place and loving it for 15 years. I had not been in a couple of months and went recently (10/19/08) with some out-of-town friends expecting the usual great service and food. I will not be returning. The place was not at all packed. We were told to sit wherever and did. We waited a good ten minutes before we were approached by a waiter. We all got beers and water. Beers came, water, after several inquiries, never did. Got the Queso dip as an app. It arrived, but napkins did not until the THIRD time we asked. Queso tasted like it was from Food Lion and there was an amazingly small amount of tortilla chips... Asked for more, never got them. Ordered food. I got what used to be the French dip, but is now the Roast Beef dip. My fellow patrons got a salad and a burger. Roast beef arrived without the French dip part. When I got the au ju, it was as salty as sea water. Little more than a dissolved bouillon cube. So things were bad. We then found a dead fly in the salad my friend ordered. After pointing out the DEAD FLY the salad was comped but by that point the fly, the service, and the food had become a huge joke. What the hell happened to Providence Rd. Sundries?!?!?!
