Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
The owners find sweet ways of cherishing the past at this restaurant that was once a church in North Carolina. Formerly a mid-century church in Charlotte, Supperland is a two-building eatery still celebrating life’s special events through delicious food and specialty drinks in two buildings with a bar, a speakeasy, and a patio. The charming menu is referred to as Southern steakhouse meets church potluck, and when you see the eclectic offerings, the description makes sense. Let’s take a look at this uniquely beautiful space.
Supperland resides in a restored mid-century church on a corner block in Plaza Midwood.
And it still opens its doors for folks to gather and celebrate at large or intimate tables.

Architecturally the owners retained the main buildings' bones, including the windows, the center aisle, the main dining room, the staircase, and the wood floors.
Start out with a taste of the sea in the yummy blue points on the half shell served in this case with local pear and apple mignonette, diced apples, scallions, and mint.
We love this special of fresh pan-seared scallops, local crawfish, garlic butter, roasted tomatoes, zucchini, and house-made croutons.
A unique ingredient infused in the cuisine is the sweet-smelling smoke flavor from hickory and oak woods that fuel the 14-foot grill.
And while you can order spectacular beverages with your meals, the Bar at Supperland is located in the smaller building, offering a DJ every Saturday night and an interesting absinthe service.
When the weather permits, drink alfresco on the lovely patio.
And some of the most exciting aspects of Supperland are the Speakeasy experiences by reservation only, offering one-of-a-kind coursed cocktails with small-bite pairings, in an intimate bar.
This luscious surprise is a banana cake with cheesecake mousse, pineapple chantilly, pineapple curd, salted caramel, and candied pecans.
