“ If you're looking for a meal that hits all the right comfort food notes, the Chicken Tenders and Tots at DB's Tavern in Charlotte, NC, is a must-try. This dis is priced right and offers excellent value for the quality and portion size. The chicken tenders are well seasoned, hand-breaded and fried to crispy perfection, delivering a satisfying crunch with every bite. The meat inside is juicy and tender, making for a delightful contrast to the crispy exterior. You can choose from a variety of dipping sauces or have them tossed in your favorite wing sauce. Being a lover of spice, I went with the wing sauce called Lucifers Own and it's not for the faint at heart, so I got that on the side instead of tossed. They also included ranch and ketchup for dipping as well. The tots are equally impressive. Golden and crispy on the outside, they are soft and fluffy on the inside. They make for a perfect side, adding a nostalgic touch to the meal. The atmosphere at DB's Tavern is laid-back and friendly, making it a great spot to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family. Oh, and did I mention the service/servers were friendly, attentive and fast. Whether you're watching the game (it's a Penn State bar) or just catching up, the welcoming vibe adds to the overall dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try a few other items off of their menu. I have no doubt in my mind that whatever I choose, it's bound to hit the spot just like those tenders and tots. ”
“ DB's Tavern is incredibly accommodating! I thought my order might be complicated, but the waiter made it feel simple and easy. The salmon burger I had was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The bun was warm, lightly buttered, and complemented the flavors beautifully. The onion rings were massive, and dipping them in a teriyaki sauce added a unique touch. The drinks were generously portioned, and even though they were customized, they were packed with flavor. I love that this spot stays open a bit later than most places in South Charlotte--everything else seems to close early! Great food, great people, and as a bonus, the games were free and fun to play after dinner. I'll definitely be back! ”
“ DB's is a great little neighborhood tavern! We stopped by on a Sunday around lunch time to grab some food. We didn't get drinks this time but I can see how it would be a fun hangout spot later in the evening. They have a full bar and some bar games off to the side like shuffle board and darts. I got the DB's burger and it was not very good, unfortunately. The burger patty was thick, dry, and not seasoned at all. I actually added salt & pepper to the burger which I've never done before. The bun was bready and the unseasoned meat with the flavorless dry bun created a very lack luster bite. Even the ranch lacked a lot of flavor. The pasta salad was tasty and the homemade chips were crunchy. My husband enjoyed the wings. I think if we go back, I'll try a different menu item next time. ”
“ I love this neighborhood pub. Friendly service, great wings, amazing prices and a warm & friendly environment. We come here often. Standard pub fare - wings, burgers, flatbreads, appetizers, etc. we love the wings. The tater tots and onion rings and fries are all crispy and delicious. A great spot to watch sports. Don't come if Alabama is playing football. They were slammed busy today at 5pm due to basketball and the service didn't suffer for it. The place was full plus a birthday party and UNC game followed by a NC State game and staff rocked it. Bravo! ”
“ While in the area, it was quite difficult to locate a restaurant that stayed open late. We happened to come across DB Tavern and they did not disappoint. We arrived 10 minutes prior to the kitchen closing, the staff was still very accommodating. We ordered honey teriyaki chicken tenders with sweet potatoes fries and garlic Parmesan and honey sriracha lime wings. The chicken tenders and fries were a 9/10 The garlic Parmesan wings 6/10 The honey sriracha wings 8.5/10 The bartender made our drinks just right. The tavern has plenty of seating, tv and music for entertainment. Great customer service ”
“ Dropped in here late night with a large group with the intent on grabbing a drink and maybe some small bar bites. Good lord was I surprised at what we found. The food here was delicious. Their menu is standard bar food but man does it hit. I ordered the wings, hard, and asked for their hottest sauce and also got a side of fries. The fries were slightly thicker than Wendy's, perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The wings blew me out of the water- I was not expecting them to be so good! The hot sauce was one that built and had me feeling it by wing #3. Next time we are in the area we will definitely be back to snag the wings again. To top it all off our server handled our party of 10 with such ease. She was incredibly helpful and punctual! ”
“ This place is but isn't good. But when we were here it really hit the spot. We came here after my friend's wedding looking to keep the good vibes flowing. I wasn't really in a drinking mood, but the greasy bar food was exactly what I was looking for. We got an assortment of appetizers that weren't good, but in a much more real sense they were really good. The staff and service level were pretty standard, and the atmosphere was simultaneously lively but chill. Overall it was a good time! ”
“ If you are anything like me and choose a restaurant for the appetizer (and specifically the pretzel) this is the place for you. We got the giant pretzel and it was delicious! It really was huge! There was also a good size queso to go with the pretzel. I got the small nachos for my meal and it looks small, but there is plenty to it! There are a lot of good toppings. There were a few bites that were a little salty, but plenty of food and toppings on all layers, so every bite was tasty! My husband enjoyed his burger and fries. Our waitress was busy and helpful getting us everything we needed! We thought the restaurant was just a little crowded, but there were some large groups there, so I was not sure if they were moved, or if this was the normal arrangement. Definitely a tavern feel when you walk in, fun place to eat! ”
“ While waiting for my hubby to finish up with some errands, I decided to try this place a girlfriend of mine told me about. Firat off the vibes of this place os wonderful, almost like cheers. Everyone knows everyone, especially if you're a regular. They had an array of food options, as well as beer options and reasonably prices. The customer service was wonderful as my bartender anticipated my needs before asking and was very informative for this newby.I had some wings with the housemade buffalo sauce (yummy). Will definitely return soon. ”
“ Fun neighborhood watering hold that has great bites. I met my daughter after her work here. We had a plate of nachos and a small plate of wings. The nachos were decent (too much lettuce, not enough cheese). The wings were great (meaty and hot, plenty of blue cheese). At 3pm on a weekday, the place was quiet but we were well served. I can see this place filling up for trivia or a big Panthers game. Lots of televisions. [Review 18758 overall - 3344 in North Carolina - 2281 of 2022.] ”
