Took my family out to eat on Saturday, was otw to Chili's but decided to go somewhere closer to our neighborhood. Remembered this place from last location but never tried it. At first I was sceptical because we usually go to the chain spots. As an x bartender and server I was amazed at the food and service here. It's been hard to find a place like this, laid back atmosphere, great food. I ordered the patty melt, my daughter ordered a flip grilled cheeseburger. The others orders were great, wings, fried mushrooms. All phenomenal! I definitely plan to return and sit at the bar. Thanks for the great evening!

Oh my gosh, first of all, let me tell you about my gorgeous waitress, Sheannon! She is nothing BUT amazing, friendly and ohhh so helpful when it comes to picking goodies! She went out of her way to get me a sauce to go with my shrimps, it was freaking good sauce! The food was amazing! The cakes were to die for! I’m coming back soon, this time, with bunches of friends!

BEST CHEESE FRIES THIS SIDE OF THE M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. I will be swooning over the thought of having them again for the next several weeks.

Sandwiches are different, in a good way. Onion rings are great. Fries weren’t as good as usual, can’t say exactly why. The service was great! The server was friendly, fast and great with kids and adults. Drinks never ran dry and she was super. We had 10 people in our group, and we were seated quickly. Would recommend!

Couldn’t love this place more! Unless maybe they made the wonton steak nachos a permanent staple on the menu 😏 Service is great, food is delicious, vibes are immaculate. What more could you ask for?? They offer creative specials and have a solid menu with something for everyone. If you’re in the area, definitely check them out!

The food was fresh and made with care. Our server recommended the cool ranch chicken wrap. It was very good, made with hand cut chicken strips not frozen processed chicken. The salad was amazing!!! Every vegetable you would want and banana peppers too! The ranch dressing is house made… so fresh. The pull on the grilled cheese was perfect and the fries were crispy. There’s a really cool vibe here. Very upbeat and friendly staff and patrons

Cute local eatery! I love the fact that we have a nice place to eat without having to drive downtown charlotte. You can tell a lot of the items on the menu are scratch made, which really makes a difference for me.

This was our first time experiencing the Groovy Beast and we cannot wait to go back and try lunch or dinner! Our amazing waitress, Brie M, deserves all the recognition! She was bubbly and friendly and made great recommendations on menu items. We started out with coffee, a pineapple mimosa and a blood Mary. All three were delicious! I meant to ask about their pickles because they were the best pickles I’ve ever eaten! For food we got the Electric sliders and the Country chicken. They have the BEST sausage gravy!! Zero complaints!! We will 100% be back again!

Table for two, please!

Brilliant! Absolutely delicious food, fantastic service, super affordable prices, and great selection of food and drinks. Every bite was an absolute treat. I got the Marlboro girl burger with a side of fries and the bang bang cauliflower starter, both were just incredible. The food came out really fast and piping hot and all the staff were so cute and friendly. We ran out of room for dessert but will be coming back for the nutter butter banana pudding!
