Looking to chow down on some modern American cuisine? This fresh spot has you covered. This restaurant debuting in uptown Charlotte, called Haymaker, is located at 225 S. Poplar St.

With a four-star rating out of 23 reviews on Yelp so far, Haymaker has made a promising start.

Daniel J., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 26, said, "The hush puppies are light, sweet and savory. Really great treat. Try the fried green tomato BLT with pimento cheese. Delicious. So was the catfish and the flank steak salad. We all really enjoyed the food preparations. Can't wait to try this spot for dinner!"

Yelper Amanda W. added, “We ordered the pork belly, the macaroni and cheese, and the shrimp and grits. Let me just tell you, the food was amazing! I can't remember the last time I give someone all fives on Yelp but everything from the presentation to our waiter to the drinks to the food was nothing short of amazing. We will definitely be back very soon. The food is a little pricey but it is worth it!”
