Three Charlotte Restaurants Among The Top 100 Places To Eat In 2021

As restaurants and bars continue opening up and people begin venturing outside their homes more and more, many are deciding where to go first. Travel, museums, live shows. Before you can do any of that, you need to fuel up at a local restaurant. But where should you go?

Yelp gathered thousands of suggestions and reviews for restaurants around the country to determine which are the best places to eat in 2021. Three restaurants in Charlotte made the cut, with one even ranking in the top 10.

Enat Ethiopian Restaurant

Scoring a coveted spot at Number 10, Enat Ethiopian Restaurant has five star rating on the food review website. Even though they don't currently offer dine-in service, they still get plenty of business through curbside pickup and delivery of their delicious, authentic cuisine. Some of Enat's most popular dishes include tibs, kitfo, sambusa, and the vegetarian combo platter.

ACE No. 3

With nearly 300 review and 4.5 stars, ACE No. 3 comes in at Number 35 and is famous for its shakes, beers, and burgers, even being named the Editor's Choice by Charlotte Magazine for Best Burger in 2020. Some of the most popular meals at ACE include the veggie burger, fried bologna sandwich, and the eponymous ACE burger. And instead of onion rings, ACE offers a unique twist with its onion straws.
