My theory on food to go: If a restaurant's going to offer it, they ought to pay as much attention to packaging the order as they would to plating it for sit-down diners.

The quality of the food, the promptness of service and consistency overall makes TRIO our favorite resturant for lunch or Dinner. You can spend a lot more money for food, but you can't beat TRIO for variety and freshness. Almond basket ice cream dessert ROCKS!!
Trio is one of my favorite places in Charlotte! First, this restaurant is not a chain and as soon as you walk in the door you will feel the positive ‘non-chain’ atmosphere. The food is excellent as I have been to Trio at least 60 times and have always had a positive experience. I recommend going for lunch on your first visit and trying a pizza for an appetizer (BBQ or Tomato Basil) and Charlie's One Great Chicken Sandwich for lunch. Of course, all of the items on the menu are wonderful and you will be very pleased. While eating lunch don't be surprised if Gary, one of the owners, stops by your table to check on your meal. Give Trio a try... you will be impressed.
My wife talked me into going to eat at Trio. She USED to like it a lot. They almost seated us near the bar (restaurant almost empty), and when we requested to move to a quieter area, they acted like we had totally put them out. Then, our hung-over, bloated waitresse grunted through taking our orders. I had the fish sandwich, which consisted of a postage-size piece of fish (mostly all breading) on a huge bun. The waitress was totally rude throughout the dinner...at least when she bothered to come to the table. We were there with my parents, and we are ALWAYS very nice to our servers, but this one was just simply awful. Maybe she's not a reflection on Trio as a whole, but someone had to hire her, and I certainly question their judgment. This visit was about seven or eight months ago...not recent...but we haven't been back either.






Trio knows how to pack an order. Let me describe a first-rate take-out experience: (Full review)
