Came to Lawans because I seen people raving about the quality of the food on Facebook. We enjoyed our experience from the start. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. We all can’t wait to go back. This was our soul food dining experience. We surely didn’t think we could find “grandma’s” cooking at a restaurant.

The food was great! I had the fried chicken with mac and cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious. The Potato salad was A1! You have to yet the sweet tea... it will definitely keep you on your toes!!! The staff was very friendly as well. I would recommend trying them out if you're in the Charlotte area

Great food and superb customer service!!!
Ron RawlsGuest
Really, really good crispy fried Chicken, well seasoned. The corn bread , potato salad , pinto beans was good too. I didn't enjoy the mac and cheese or collards much. The collards were sweet , if you like that sort of thing ... the Mac and cheese had no flavor or depth. I give this place a 4 out of 5 just for the chicken. The customer service was great!
