    About Us

    Island Thyme is not a franchise nor a chain. We are dedicated to serving you the freshest food possible from our scratch kitchen. Sauces, sides, salads, dressing and desserts are made in-house. The fish we serve is shipped to us directly from S. Florida eliminating the middle man and longer shipping times. We know you will taste the difference.

    Our History

    Relax, you are on Island Thyme. We want you to enjoy our food, our music and our laid-back vacation atmosphere. 

    Remember when you went to the Keys, S. Fla, the Bahamas, the Islands and had such a relaxing time with good food, rum drinks and calypso music? Well, we have brought that vibe to Charlotte. 

    Please join us in our restaurant or on our patio "dock" at The Fountains at Tom Short Rd and Ardrey Kell Rd in Charlotte. We are by the fountain under the colorful umbrellas, music playing.
