Celebrate Mother’s Day by taking Mom to brunch. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, 2026. We’re putting together a list of restaurants in the Charlotte area where you can get a great Mother’s Day Brunch. We are setting aside the “on the cheap” requirement for this list and including some splurges, although there are also many restaurants on the list that are budget-friendly.
We’re including restaurants open for dine-in, as well as restaurants, grocery stores, and catering companies that offer family meal packages to go. These are often excellent deals.
Know of places that should be on this list? Leave a comment or email us at jody@charlotteonthecheap.com and we’ll try to get it on the list!
