The Dunavant - Charlotte

I wanted to love this place but unfortunately it's only saving grace was our waitress Brittany- she was great...but the food and the rest of the staff left alot to be desired. The shrimp and grits were tasteless, the deviled eggs had no seasoning, the lobster mac n cheese was just ok. We did actually enjoy the chicken and funnel cake though. Long and short- you are rolling the dice with the menu items and the atmosphere is sub-par...so are the staff in terms of their attitudes. There are plenty of other places in Charlotte that have better food and better atmosphere. Don't waste your money or time here.

Arrived at the restaurant and went to check in. Had to wait a few minutes because the hostess was having some issues with the party in front of us and getting them seated. When it was our turn, we were sat promptly (had a reservation). Water was immediately brought to the table which was nice. Waitress took a little bit to get to our table but the place was pretty busy. We got the mimosa flight, chicken and funnel cake waffle and steak and eggs. Waitress came back about 10 mins after taking our order and said the computer systems were acting up and she retook our food order. Due to the issue, she did give us 2 additional flavors for mimosas for free which was nice. When the food came, mine was correct but she tried giving my wife the shrimp and grits. Once she realized it was wrong, my wife's correct order was brought immediately. Probably just grabbed the wrong entree. The food tasted great. Steak was cooked right and seasoned perfectly. Even tried some of my wife's food and it was amazing. All in all, I'd say 4 out of 5. Stinks that the place is closing at the end of August cause we'd really like to try it for dinner.

Had to wait more than 30 minutes after my reservation time to be seated. Hostess wasn't very concerned or helpful regarding our wait. Food was good.

Went for my birthday brunch. Although we waited forever to get a simple shrimp and grits meal. This meal ended up being returned as it wasn't fully cooked. The drinks were good, loved the mimosa flight. The steak and eggs with hash was also good and the French toast is a great addition. I will be a returning customer.

LOVE The Dunavant! So sad to see it's closing. Food was bomb as always. We started with the mimosa flight; they aren't stingy with the champagne. Next were our entrees — I got the chicken and funnel cake with strawberry topping and a side of the potato hash. Husband also had the chicken and funnel cake, but with the Carmel apple topping. He always gets an extra chicken thigh because the seasoning is top notch. It's a little pricey when it's all said and done, but totally worth it for the unique menu, popping flavors, and dope atmosphere. Go before it's too late!
