Salted Melon Market & Eatery

This was our first time coming here. We sat at the bar and had an amazing time! John and Ashley took very good care of us. This place is a triple threat, not only is it a restaurant it has groceries as well as a bakery! We ordered a few drinks and the flank steak with truffle fries! The manager Dave made sure we were well taken care of!

My friend and I decided to come eat here for lunch after she gave great feedback on a salad she had here a while back. This is located in southend so parking can be crazy. They do have side street parking if you are lucky enough to snag a spot or a parking garage, but I believe they do not validate parking. Upon entering, they have a little store set up with a lot of spices, snacks, and jams to look at. This is on the more casual side. You go up to the counter, place your order, and then go sit wherever you'd like, and they bring the food out. I ordered the Street Car bowl. It comes with steak, corn, rice, beans, roasted tomatoes, and red peppers. I also ordered their truffle fries. Now the bowl, tbh was very bland and not tasteful at all. I was initially put off by the THREE pieces of steak they decided to give me. THREE! I ended up cutting them into tiny pieces just so that I could have enough pieces to last me the entire bowl but I felt for $15 that I paid, I could have gotten more than three pieces of steak. The rice and beans had no real flavor at all. It did come with a side sauce, but that didn't really make any flavor pop out. I also added hot sauce but still didn't make a difference. Too me, it was just very bland and nothing spectacular. The truffle fries, though, wrote delicious. I think I enjoyed those most than the bowl itself. I wished they were a bit more crispier, but after a no flavorful dish, I felt like that truffle flavor really made it for me. I also got their cranberry mimosa, which was delicious. Never go bad with a mimosa. I'm not sure if I will come again. With the hassle of parking and bland flavor, it wouldn't be a place I would go out of my way to come back. If I happen too, I may try something different. Overall, the employees were super nice and a very clean, organized location.

My husband and I got takeout and shared: - Five Star Steak Sandwich - One Mean Panini - Truffle Fries - Couscous Salad I was really impressed by everything. These are some great sandwiches. I think the panini was my favorite, but I loved both. The couscous salad may have been my single favorite item we got. My only small complaint is that their sandwiches come with a boring salad as the side dish. You have to pay a decent amount extra to upgrade to better sides. I wish their default side was something better than a salad. I'd love to come back for dinner and try their full sit-down menu!

I made a reservation for a large party to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived, not only was our table not ready, but when they did seat us, they attempted to separate us into two tables. After much waiting, we were finally all sat together. It took about 10 minutes after that for a server to even come greet us. And another 30 for any drinks to even arrive at the table. After a full 45 minutes, not everyone had received their drinks and we hadn't even ordered food. We ended up leaving and heading to a restaurant across the street which accommodated us and gave us great service. I have eaten brunch at the Salted Melon before and their food is quite good. But the service was some of the worst I have received in Charlotte.

This is a nice addition to Charlotte dining. Ordered chicken caprice sandwich and a club sandwich both with watermelon salad as side. The watermelon salad had feta and mint in it and was delicious. We both loved our sandwiches where tastes worked well together and were well executed. The bread was delicious. We will be back. Took 23 minutes to get our meal which was fine as was the weekend and we were enjoying sitting outside.

I met up with some friends here the other week … We order Brussels as the app and I personally had the blackened shrimp dish with pineapple rice and fried plantains and avocado. It was good , I do think it needed a sauce to top it off but the sweet potato was perfect as a side dish! I also had a BYO expresso martini , with biscotti liquor , hazel nut and topped with gram crackers .. LOVED IT .. service was slow but other than that I’ll be back
