In the Mood for Food!

Lunch? Snack? Dinner? Here are some great choices in charlotte when you're in the mood for food!
1. HICKORY TAVERN Oysters, Steak, and Fish- The title may be a bit deceiving but their menu definitely isn't! If you are in the mood for a sports grill feel with a touch of sophistication, The Hickory Tavern is your place. They have burgers, sandwiches, steaks, and seafood all for a fantastic price! My family can vouch for the Bayou Salmon (Blackened Salmon & Shrimp over melt-in-your-mouth Rice with Cajun Alfredo, tomatoes, scallions & one side) and the Turkey Club (AWS Bacon, melted Swiss, lettuce, tomato, brown sugar mustard on a freshly baked toasted sesame seed bun).

2. Smoothie King- I seriously go like every day! They have ones to focus on trimming down, building muscle, supplying energy, or just for a delicious snack! They have many enhancers to add to aid dieting, toning, health, and energy. You can also make it a "skinny" by substituting splenda instead of Turbinado. They have so many different flavors but I think my favorite is the Angel Food, however I'm trying a different one every time I go!

I like Smoothie King better than any other smoothie place because they are full of flavor, healthy, and there are so many choices to choose from! They aren't like those watered-down or milky kind that overlap the fruit and flavor. They also sell supplements there such as Muscle Milk, Herbal Supplements, and Protein bars and shake mixes. You get everything you need without all the unhealthy teases and distractions!

3. Just Fresh- This is a great place to eat on your lunch break! It's got the freshest ingredients in town and the taste shows! They have many different sandwiches, salads, and wraps, quick service, and indoor/outdoor optional seating.

4. Mama Ricotta's- This place is still undiscovered for what it has to offer. This Italian place may fool your eye on the outside, but the inside is classy and comfortable. It's an upscale feel with an affordable price. As soon as you are seated, a warm bread basket is delivered. They offer catering, take-out, lunch, dinner, and brunch.

I had the Stuffed Panini French Toast which was filled with warm cream cheese, mascarpone, and bananas. It tasted better than dessert and my mouth waters just thinking about it!
