"Leading Through Replenishment"

A Recipe For Harmony

Jim Noble, a renowned chef, restaurant owner and minister, is distinguished for his style of cooking - emphasis on natural and locally grown food products. Noble’s culinary craft, combined with his passion as a minister, has created harmony between his thriving restaurant business and his focused efforts on charities that benefit children, the poor and the hungry.

Ministering Restoration

Jim graduated from North Carolina State University’s furniture manufacturing and management program in 1977. After working with his father in the furniture business, Noble decided to go a different route and opened his first restaurant at 28. Jim and his wife Karen formed Restoration Word Ministries in 1998 and soon after that Jim became an ordained minister. Today, Jim’s noted restaurants include Noble’s Grille and Rooster’s Wood-Fired Kitchens in two locations in Charlotte and a new location announced in Charleston, SC.
