Editorial Review for Moosehead Grill – by Staci Falkowitz
The Scene
This long-time favorite among Charlotteans is located in an old Pizza Hut. Outside, it isn't much to look at; inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The place teems with regulars, the jukebox blares and beer flows from multiple taps. Service--just like the setting--is casual and friendly.
The Food
The menu features fresh, high-quality bar fare along with a few reasonably priced, creative specials. Chicken wings are among the best in town, and include fiery honey and habanero "bee stings" as well as spicy, island-flavored Jamaican jerk wings. Fried cheese--mozzarella or pepper jack--is hand-breaded into large triangles. Pepper jack is the better choice, as mozzarella arrives with a bland tomato sauce. A generous serving of clam chowder is thick, creamy, rich and flavorful. Another standout is the signature Moosehead burger--a fat, juicy creation topped with smoky bacon, grilled mushrooms, and Swiss cheese.

I have been going there since I have lived in the area (over 10 years) and always enjoyed the Moose. The food is good (especially the specials) and it has a friendly atmosphere. Its good for the family place during the day and an adult hang out at night. The thing I like is the staff has belligerent people leave so you can enjoy a beer with your friends without having to worry about encountering with idiots or someone who is looking for a fight. It always has that everyones welcome hang out atmosphere. I like the wings.
Pros: great place
Cons: it gets really busy weekend nights

The Moosehead is a true Charlotte classic with comfy, casual digs, inventive drinks, and great bar food ... all at reasonable prices. But do not be mistaken -- it IS a family restaurant. Children are welcome and fawned upon. If you're looking for a place to let your hair down and party like a grown-up, you may well find yourself next to a table of feral toddlers bombarding you and yours with slimy Cheerios. We have been mortified on two seperate occasions by bringing out of town guests -- then finding ourselves seated next to a wailing high chair quintet. So, got kids? Lots of 'em? Want to take then somewhere really cool? The Moosehead is all about you. As for my friends and I, we prefer the company of other adults. And we can afford to tip well when our server is not constantly preoccupied with mopping up mac-and-cheese spitup at the next table. You go, families ... treat your sippie-cup crowd to the endless delights of the Moose. If you are kid-free, or at least have the sense to hire a sitter on occasion, don't come here looking for a getaway. There are plenty of other venues that offer great food and drink as well as a live music scene.
