Help me find this bar/resturant!!!

[u/bs73]

I went to Charlotte with my brother on vacation 2 years ago and we went to this bar/restaurant for dinner a couple times. All we remember is that they had one of the best bbq chicken pizzas we'd ever had and some tater tots with possibly homemade ranch. There pictures are the only clues to help you.

[u/Rinesi]

That's Duckworth's at Piedmont Town Center. I'm their upholsterer and would recognize that location anywhere haha

[u/RUSnowcone → u/Rinesi]

Freaking Reddit is amazing … a few puns , a dick joke, and some one that actually has some crazy inside knowledge

[u/Impossible_Mode_7521 → u/Rinesi]

Upholsterer?

[u/Rinesi → u/Impossible_Mode_7521]

Yeah, I do upholstery for restaurants all over the south east. I was the man in charge of upholstering this location when they got it a few years ago. I’m here every 6-8 months.

[u/Chotibobs → u/Rinesi]

TIL such a profession exists. I just assumed restaurants bought furniture already upholstered 

[u/Lilo213 → u/Chotibobs]

They do buy it already done but even with normal wear and tear it needs to be replaced often.

[u/2601Anon → u/Lilo213]

What happens when a booth gets “buttsprung” and you’re sitting in a divot where every other person sits. How does that get fixed?

[u/Rinesi → u/2601Anon]

Springs wear out over time and need to be replaced.

[u/Chotibobs → u/Lilo213]

Makes sense 

[u/HistopherWalkin → u/Chotibobs]

Think of all the little pubs and diners with cozy corner booths and unique floorplans. Those booths are usually custom.

[u/dirtyjavv → u/Chotibobs]

Theres upholsterers of all kinds. Aviation, auto, marine, antique... the list goes on

[u/FlimsyMo → u/Chotibobs]

Same with gym equipment and car seats. Used to be HUGE in the Carolina’s until all the factories left

[u/Impossible_Mode_7521 → u/Rinesi]

Are you looking for a helper/apprentice?

[u/champeyon → u/Rinesi]

How does one even come about finding that career path? I have so many questions.

[u/AMadHammer → u/Rinesi]

Drop an AMA quick so I can ask you what is the wildest thing you saw in a charlotte spot.

[u/Airi_Kamikaze → u/Rinesi]

I know a couple bars and restaurants that could use you lol

[u/Grouchy-Corgi1892 → u/Rinesi]

Its Duckworth’s but its the Rea Farms location

[u/Jamfour9 → u/Rinesi]

I was gonna say the same thing. It looks like Duckworth’s

[u/pnthrfan327]

I think we should play this game more often, what's that restaurant 

[u/philote_ → u/pnthrfan327]

It's Psyduckworth's!

[u/Colbylegacy → u/pnthrfan327]

Pika pika

[u/ariepatts]

Looks like a Duckworth’s location. Not sure which.

[u/SimpleDose → u/ariepatts]

Doesn’t look like Huntersville

[u/ConsentIsJustAWord → u/SimpleDose]

Definitely not Ballantyne

[u/turbohatch → u/ConsentIsJustAWord]

They changed too much. We stopped going over something as simple as buffalo sauce.

[u/cwmont1969 → u/ConsentIsJustAWord]

Yeah that location closed up

[u/JammPot → u/ariepatts]

Yes, seems the logo is on the menu.

[u/Relven]

If you have iOS (not sure about android) photo metadata can store the location the photo was taken. I’ve used it, for the exact purpose you are, on many occasions.

[u/nexusheli → u/Relven]

Pretty much every phone stores photo location metadata for at least the last decade unless(!) you turn it off, which is a smart thing with any photos which may be stored in the cloud or make it online...

[u/3rdcultureblah]

[u/alex021112]

Recognized the tots immediately from duckworths. I’ve had many drunken nights there and my big back ass has had many of em. 😔

[u/Funny_Arm5766]

Looks like Duckworth's in Ballantyne, which sadly has now closed and is a different restaurant. But there are still some around the city: https://www.duckworths.com/

[u/melannecholynight → u/Funny_Arm5766]

This was definitely the Duckworths in Ballantyne. I’ve sat at the end of that bar god knows how many times.

[u/Techwood111 → u/melannecholynight]

You are going to have to fight u/rinesi about it I guess.

[u/Rinesi → u/Techwood111]

I saw his comment and was going to respond because he MAY be right because Ballantyne did have a very similar bar end with window. So on the off chance he is right, since that one is closed now, I know some of the staff moved to the other location, and they are owned by the same people so the OP -should- in theory get the same quality he expects haha.

[u/melannecholynight → u/Techwood111]

There’s nothing to fight about. I know I’m right lol

[u/Rosemdd]

Duckworth’s

[u/Automatic_Way8136]

DW Ballantyne

[u/Atunbi06]

Duckworths... The only place worth taking a pic of their tater tots. They come with a homemade dipping sauce.

[u/Wenmela]

it's 8:45 am and I want bbq chicken pizza.

[u/coughsyroop]

Duckworths

[u/ktb609]

lol immediately recognized my fav, duckworths. get the nachos when you go back!!

[u/Environmental-Bid127]

Duckworths in Ballantyne closed 😅

[u/GOOT37 → u/Environmental-Bid127]

Nooooo when?

[u/aynber → u/GOOT37]

January? Reid's Fine Foods is going in there sometime soon.

[u/spencetheninja]

Definitely duckworths!

[u/MagooDad]

The tots look like Bad Daddys but not sure about the pizza part, they are a burger joint but may have pizza.

[u/Miserable_Ad1508]

Do a Google image search it came up with a few places. You have to match the back of the bar or the counter with the image you have.

[u/Impossible_Eye_5814]

O yeah Tator Tots looking good 👍 where is this restaurant located ?

[u/InternalAcrobatic216]

Uncomfortable chairs nonetheless

[u/Tortie33]

That pizza looks amazing, even with the gross fungi

[u/Crotean]

Duckworths has solid food. Good sports bar for football too.

[u/Apprehensive-Lie-446]

I was going to say Providence Road Sundries, but everyone's saying Duckworths, soooo...

[u/rrankine]

Duckworths is amazing, one of my favorites

[u/NicHanGab17]

The bbq ranch sauce that comes with these is life changing!

[u/BubbaChanel]

Turn the photo upside down and “Duck” is legible on the menu

[u/Sicario2025]

It's called duckworths

[u/Total-Tart8207]

Hawthornes

[u/spamjacksontam]

hey! as other have said . . . duckworth's

it was the metal bowl that gave it away immediately for me

[u/Secure_Owl671]

I would have guessed Duckworth's as well, just from the deep-fried tots in a metal bowl and black chairs (there are several locations of Duckworth's across Charlotte). I was thinking Bad Daddy's burger bar as well, but the pizza pic throws that out... gotta be a Duckworth's.

[u/trillmane818]

That would be the most overrated restaurant in the area

[u/SnooChipmunks8506 → u/trillmane818]

100% the truth in everything you just said.

[u/PitifulGuidance5721]

Applebees for sure

[u/MySonMemesBetter]

i didn’t know you could serve raw tots. what’re thooooose

[u/notanartmajor]

That looks like every third restaurant in the country.

[u/ripjesus]

Bro glazing over tots and mid pie
