Background:
Burtons Bar & Grill in Park Road Shopping Center is part of a chain of restaurants that has been open since 2005 and has locations in seven states. Our Charlotte location is the only one in North Carolina, and we are so lucky to have them! Burtons has an extensive menu with lots of small plate options and larger entrees. Burtons is unique in that they maintain a high level of diligence when it comes to preparing menu items for patrons with food allergies. If you have a food allergy, a manager will drop off your order, ensuring that there is no cross-contamination from the time you place your order until the point it is delivered to your table.
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Burtons with our blog friend Jessica @TheSweetSeoul--check her out on Instagram! On our visit, Burtons was rolling out a new fall cocktail menu, and we were able to sample plenty of drinks and a huge variety of menu items. Jason and I also visited solo a couple of weeks prior, so these photos are a combination of both visits.

Dessert:
Drink:
I only tried one drink from the new fall cocktail menu, because it was so good I couldn’t dream of ordering something different. Two of these babies went down way too easily!
Atmosphere:
Burtons has a surprisingly funky vibe for its location. It has tall ceilings and cool artwork--my favorite was a gallery wall that consisted of a motley mixture of art and photographs--my favorite was the portrait of South Carolina native Aziz Ansari.
Park Road Shopping Center Hospitality:
Burtons employees go above and beyond to make sure each customer is satisfied. On both of our times at Burtons, our server and a manager stopped by to make sure that everything was up to our standards, and frequently checked in to see if we needed anything. Burtons ensures every customer is well taken care of, which makes for a lovely dining experience.
Frankie’s Notes:
Burtons is a great place to really settle into your corn fear without shame; When bloggers get together, you can forget eating your food while it's hot; When you chug your first drink, you need to sip you next one, lest you embarrass yourself in front of your new blog friends; I would like a gallery wall filled exclusively with Aziz Ansari photos; Old school Park Road Shopping Center makes me want to have a malt while I wear a boy's letter jacket.
