The Penguin @ Plaza MidwoodThe Penguin

Travel back in time to a true American Diner. Refurbished a few years ago, the cozy Penguin is a second home to many local musicians and artists, but all are welcome. Enjoy classics like barbecue, fried pickles, the massive “Hemi” burger, and the Winky Dinky Dog.

Zada Jane's Corner Cafe at Plaza MidwoodZada Janes's

This is a quality place with great food and free WiFi! "Breakfast will be our forte as we will be serving it all day. Our lunch menu will focus on soups, salads, and sandwiches. Even better, our menu is half vegetarian and half meaty. Yes ye nay sayers we are doing it right by having, count ‘em, two separate grills for the meats and veggies. Most importantly, TAKE A DEEP BREATH…this is a NO SMOKING establishment! We ain’t even got a deep fryer! Imagine the aromas of fresh coffee, baked goods, and fine vittles."

The Dish @ Plaza MidwoodDish

The Dish offers a warm neighborhood feel with a warm neighborhood menu. A true "local" stop with great down-home southern food at a great price. The interior has been renovated several times through the years and now features a warm and inviting atmosphere. Homemade chicken and dumplings are outstanding. Good vegetarian selection.

LuLu Bistro @ Plaza MidwoodLuLu Bistro

Relatively new on the Plaza Midwood scene, LuLu is a real bistro, that is, not a place that attaches the word bistro to the name but is really a chef-driven restaurant. This is a small neighborhood joint offering good comfort food at a modest price, considering the quality of ingredients. It attracts a steady, loyal -- and nonfinicky -- local crowd for dependable lunches and dinners.

Creation @ Plaza MidwoodCreation

"Four Charlotte natives have infused this former paint store with that Plaza-Midwood vibe and a dash of Zen. Look for hardwood floors, towering concrete walls, and abstract art. The Asian menu is fresh and bright, with flavorful noodle dishes and satays as well as excellent housemade desserts."
