output: Craving pizza, especially of the brick oven variety, led me to a yelp search for the highest rated area pizza restaurants. Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room came up in my searches consistently, among a few others, so I checked out the menus, prices, locations, and reviews. Ultimately, I ended up going to Proper, because the menu appealed to me. It definitely lived up to my expectations. The food was excellent. I had the house salad (split with my dining partner), and we shared the Black & Gold pizza, which was surprisingly delicious (surprising because I was a little skeptical at first about having potatoes and beets on my pizza). The service was great, and the ambiance was exactly what I needed: not too loud or boisterous but lively enough to feel like the place can draw fans. I'm not a beer drinker, but they seemed to have an extensive list of beers, and the wine offerings and other cocktails seemed appealing too. I had a chardonnay that I liked very much. I recommend Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room for those who like pizza but want variety and are looking for a gourmet touch.

output: I doubt the line out the door that can be seen every workday lunch rush is due to the food. The salads are okay, I guess, but they're nothing special. They don't even really chop up the ingredients, so you're left with a $9 salad that has paper plate sized pieces of lettuce that fling dressing all over your shirt. The portions are pretty large, so maybe all these would-be healthy eaters justify eating a 5lb. salad because it's health bacon, egg, and salad dressing on there. 3000 calorie salad? hell yes! that thing's loaded with veg. The worst violation I saw, was a mass of obviously old (and looking rather slimey) mushrooms. Cmon now - with that demand, you have to be the freshiest of the fresh. Maybe the line out the door is for the display put on by the saladristas? It's like watching German efficiency with New York attitude and Japanese volume throw ingredients in a bowl. At least they take and yell your name out when it's ready - you're part of the show! No, the real reason there is a line out the door is because the lunch crowd of Charlotte is DESPERATE for healthy alternatives. Even though Crisp may not exactly hit the mark, they're the first salad joint in Charlotte and have cashed in. If any of the owners happen across this review - I'd recommend taking a trip up to DC and checking out Chopt creative salad company. Really think there is a high ceiling for a restaurant concept like this, so learning from a company that is killing with the same concept will bring a fresh (no pun intended) look into your offering.

I usually get on Yelp to gripe about things. But I have been going to Sunchain for almost a year now and their level of customer service is great. They are always friendly and greet you with a cheerful smile when you walk in. Everything is always clean and the price can't be beat.
