Review by Travis Hoppe

Freshwaters Southern New Orleans is a hidden gem in uptown Charlotte! From the moment I walked in, the cozy and inviting atmosphere drew me in. The staff is not just friendly, but they genuinely care about your dining experience. I opted for the backend salmon, which was simply delightful, and the cornbread muffins were a standout!

Although some dishes didn't hit the mark for me, the overall vibe and speedy service make this place a must-try. Don't miss the live music on certain nights! 🍽️🎶 Can't wait to visit again!
