The Dinner A'Fare provides a simple route to procuring delicious, pre-assembled meals. Start by picking the six dishes from the menu, and then stop by the brick and mortar location to pick up the goods. Customers are able to customize ingredients according to tastes, allergies, or a court order to avoid certain foods. Each dish is made fresh—having been assembled within 24 hours prior to pickup—and can be kept in the fridge to cook within a week or frozen for later generations to enjoy. Dinner A'Fare also participates in the Sustainable Seafood Program to help fight environmentally destructive seafood harvesting and maintain the world’s uneasy truce with Prince Namor of Atlantis.
On Val Panizzut's first visit to his wife’s Mexican hometown, the co-owner of The Prickly Pear vowed he would name his first restaurant after the delicious fruit borne from cacti. Today, the fruition of that fruit-inspired idea offers expansive views of Lake Norman from its generous windows or patio seats, as well a menu of Mexican cuisine. Not content with just offering traditional tacos and burritos, the kitchen crafts modern Mexican dishes that have earned it numerous local press mentions. They pair the usual flavors of cotija cheese, chipotles and cilantro with, for example, fruits such as pear, mango, and pineapple, all in an effort to add savory, piquant, or sweet depth to shrimp dishes and adobo-rubbed chicken. To augment the adventurous atmosphere, live musical acts entertain guests on Thursday and Sunday nights—but they never say in advance exactly where in the restaurant they’ll hide as they play.

Activavision Studios recently announced plans for a 30th anniversary relaunch of the Pizza Problems franchise, a mature-rated gore fest featuring the sultry voice talents of David Hyde Pierce.
Imbibe to revive with today's Groupon: $10 for $25 worth of drinks and gourmet bar food at Ed's Tavern. Ed's is an authentic neighborhood bar in the heart of Dilworth, and was voted Best Place to Chill in Charlotte magazine's 2009 BOB Awards.
Prosciutto's Pizzeria & Pub hosts a menu of New York–style pizza and Italian fare that earned the establishment Best Pizza and Best Italian Food from Citysearch in 2010.

The family-friendly pub and pizzeria is divided in two: The kids side with video games and toys has seceded from an adult section that houses a nonsmoking bar lit by dangling icicle lights. Sports-casting TVs and athletic paraphernalia keep the vibe sporty for when the athletes return to claim their jerseys and balls. Thursday nights host cornhole tournaments outdoors on the patio, and live music energizes the air on Friday and Saturday nights.
Modesty is the best policy at Common House, and everything from the restaurant's name to its atmosphere to its free teddy bear hugs reflects it. Today’s deal lets you stretch its unobtrusive offerings further: $15 for $30 worth of casual Southern fare and drinks. Recently named “Best New Restaurant” by Creative Loafing, this Plaza Midwood restaurant and bar is a humble abode in a sea of hoity-toity. Common house: A common house has 1 - 2 floors (and bathrooms) and is largely composed of four outer walls, a front and back door and roof to keep out rain and lighter meteorites. A common house may contain a family or elderly couple.
