The Goodyear House

The atmosphere is super cute and our waitress was great. We got bread for the table and their butter was so good: herbs and honey. Then we got the crispy rice balls. Those were awesome. The bacon inside is smoked and the sauce on it was great. The cashew Mac and cheese is great too. I heard the Trout is really good and popular so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I was pretty nauseous trying to eat it. It was in a puddle of oil and just made it heavy, but since it was $33, I was making myself eat it. Not worth the $33 for me at least. Everything else was great.

Incredible experience at The Goodyear House! Great food, excellent service, and a unique atmosphere. This family-style restaurant is built into a 1900s era mill house, and it really feels like being welcomed into someone’s home. The arancini (crispy rice balls) were delicious, the pasta dish was outstanding, and the cocktails were excellent. Special shout-out to Gustavo who chose a great wine and made our family dinner really special.

Excellent food options. While visiting Charlotte north Carolina.. we wanted to go to haberdish.. but the wait was for over 1 1/2 hours. We proceeded to walk around to see other options in the NODA area. We found the Goodyear house. Looked at the menu and decided to try. We were amazed as we were escorted to the green house. Several tents 🏕️ were set up to allow private dining. It was so cute.. look at the pictures. Decorated with a holiday theme. We were seated in the greenhouse at picnic tables. Very comfortable. Waitress Christine was extremely helpful as we chose our food items. Serving side is huge. We ordered: French fries 🍟 which were air fried, very fresh and came in a bag with a side of Parma cheese 🧀 so we can sprinkle in the bag. Delicious!!! Chicken wings… very good House salad… large portions for sharing. Candied carrots!! What a treat!! Burger and fries!! Mac and cheese 🧀.. very good. Trout 🐠- prepared with plenty of seasoning and had almonds sprinkled on top. Yum. Pork schnitzel— very tasty! And many other items.

The food was an odd collection and I wasn't too impressed. The tomato shareable was just one huge tomato and super spicy. The shrimp and grits was way over cooked and incredibly spicy. Corn ribs were pretty good, no complaints, seasoned fries were really good with parm. Broccolini was charred and not amazing. Meatballs were decent flavor but the saucy had a weird spice to it. And then the carrots were not cooked at all even though they were charred

I really loved the vibe here. Service from Kristen was great! The menu items were all small plates and very unique. The food wasn't very warm when served. The fry bag with garlic parmesan was good but would've been better if hot. The golden chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was great. The al pastor wings were tasty. Our favorite was the crispy rice balls. Definitely, a bit overpriced. A very cute place with a fun vibe.

Everything GOOD you hear about The Goodyear House is true! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and warmth. First impressions truly are everything! The decor is rustic but with sort of an Anthropologie type of vibe. We were seated in a dining area where the glass garage doors roll up- with a view of what has been designed to be a courtyard with more seating- perfection! Our server Nathan was superb! We have met countless servers in our lifetime; however, there was a unique aspect to the way he engaged with us and other guests. You can see how much he strives to do his best and make sure you have the most wonderful experience. I will request him the next time I come in. We also had the privilege to meet Gus, one of the managers, such a friendly & courteous man. He told us about the local ingredients they source for their restaurant and how they do seasonal menu items. We ordered the marinated shrimp, the beef tartare, chopped wedge, and a double stack goopy burger. For dessert: we ordered both the Pavlova and the Brownie Sundae because it is hard to choose just one. The raspberry balsamic ice cream is churned on site. I mean how often do you hear them say they are churning the ice cream right now for your dessert? It was also our first time having a pistachio oat crumb and it was amazing! Will have to come back and try more of the menu. Our first impression of The Goodyear House was outstanding. Looking forward to our next visit.
