Degenerate
There is an expanding corridor of restaurants and fun places along Davidson St. in Villa Heights (between NoDa and Uptown), and this is where The Degenerate is located. When I hosted my first meetup (a major coup of confidence for me!), I hosted it in Villa Heights and one of the places we landed at was this place. It is one of the first places that I frequented when I moved to Charlotte, especially for brunch. It is also one of the coolest, but laid back places to hang out in the city. They have many shareable plates such as wings, deviled eggs, and fried banana peppers. And then they have several sandwiches and entrees such as the Degenerate Burger and “short rib & grits”! For brunch, I always get eggs benedict because of their uniquely thin and crispy English muffin. I also order the insanely delicious breakfast potatoes AND the grits. They used to have my favorite burger in town, but alas, they changed the recipe for it… so I am forced to order one of their other tasty dinner entrees now. (If you’re reading this, Degenerate, this is my subtle request for you to bring the old version back… lol) This vibrant place stays open till at least 1am every night, so it’s a great place for an emergency late-night quest for grub.
