Restaurants in Cornelius

“This is always our choice for dinner or lunch out. The service is impeccable. The food is exquisite and consistent. You can’t have a mediocre meal here. Everything from apps, salads, wine, crafted beverages, entrees to coffee and dessert is absolute perfection. The crab cakes are my go to. My family ran a crab company for over 65 years here in NC and when I tell you these are the best crab cakes you’ll ever have, I’m not kidding. Zero binder-just sweet, jumbo lump in every bite. They are to die for. You can’t miss the cast iron corn bread with cheddar, jack, and chiles either. That honey drizzle…?…Chef’s kiss! The salads are always cold, crisp, and fresh. My “can’t miss” dessert is the banana cream pie topped with caramel, chocolate sauce, and cacao nibs. The barrel cut filet is top tier as well. 131 Main knows how to offer a fabulous dining experience. We’ve never had anything but stellar service. Last night Morgan was absolutely incredible! We love her! The restrooms are always clean and well stocked. The open kitchen concept is a bit of torture-LOL Primarily because the minute you step into the restaurant, the smells are just heavenly! You see flame kissed beef, pork, or chicken on the grill and all of the fresh vegetables. We take home more than we eat because everything is so amazingly delicious. Thank to the BOH, FOH, and management for all of your hard work. I will continue recommending you to everyone I meet! The people I know are already life long customers.”

“The fact that your restaurant specifically spent time, care, energy and money to create your space inclusive to those with autism is far beyond what most places do. I am proud of you. Thank you!”

“We finally tried Seaboy!! Everyone had only great things to say about this place! So glad we went last Thursday!! What a great experience!!! From the moment we walked in we loved it!! We were warmly greeted, no reservation, but promptly accommodated us—seated us at the Chef’s Bar! We really enjoyed watching them create wonderful dishes!! Everything we ordered was delicious and so beautifully presented!! The owner/chef was very friendly! Our server was extremely nice too! He brought us a complimentary glass of champagne when we were seated. Pretty vintage glasses.🥂 We had yellowfin and the octopus to start. Delicious!! My entrée, the cod, was YUM!! No complaints whatsoever!! Everyone was beyond nice and accommodating!! It’s a small space—cozy—suggest reservations. Seaboy is now on our FAVE LIST!! We will definitely be back!! Just love this place!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Absolutely AMAZING! The drinks, food, staff! Sophia was fantastic! We will be back for sure!”

“We LOVE this restaurant. The service is amazing, quality of the food is amazing, everything… everything is amazing. New ownership knocked it out of the park when they took over.”

“Such a cool spot here in Old Town with amazing craft beer selection, an abundance of boutique wines, comfortable atmosphere and always familiar friendly faces. David and his team are doing it right! 👌 Highly-recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Stopped in BIN 110 for 1 drink, ended up tasting the 3 best Old Fashioned drinks I've EVER had. The owners were amazing and the customer service was Second to none. I even got some education on my favorite drink. My new favorite spot and bartender. SEE YOU ALL SOON. Antonio Stevenson”

“Good food and atmosphere. Family friendly with plentiful live music and entertainment. Something for everyone to eat and drink.”

“We have been back several times since it changed from the former management and our experience gets better each time. Tonight we went with 6 adults and 2 young kids and from appetizers to dessert, the meal and service were perfect. Our server, Izzy, was patient and thorough in explaining the drink and food menu questions we had, and was extremely playful and interactive with our very curious and talkative 5 year old grandson. We enjoyed the Mediterranean trio, smoked salmon, and burrata appetizers. The steaks, chicken, seafood and pasta entrees were all delicious. ALL the desserts were fabulous. What a great experience! We will be back!”

“Loved this place so so much! We were a large party for my bachelorette trip, and they got all our food and drinks out so quickly and it was so yummy! Shrimp tacos were fabulous! Great service!!!! Luke was our server and he did great!”

“I love Boatyard, the bands are always very good and prices are very affordable, the only downside is that people tend to get really drunk and bump into you frequently.”

“This place is fantastic!!! The food, the service, the drink selection are top notch!! The food is phenomenal!!”

“Fresh delicious bowls with efficient friendly service every time!”

“So glad this is in our community!!!!!…..really tasty 😋 really friendly…..my new fav drink place !!!!”

“Ice Cream was great however we tried getting more when we were done and we're told that their POS system doesn't allow you to use your card again that quickly...”

“Amazing cozy little place in Davidson, NC! This time we had the ice cream with the cherry cheesecake in it and the banana pudding and both were amazing!! Quickly becoming one of our favorite places to go for a dessert!! The service is amazing and the owners were just as nice the second time as the first time!”

“Awesome (if sometimes eccentric) beers with a VERY large selection. They have something for everyone: Stouts, IPAs, Lagers, Sours. Very chill vibe, almost like the basement rec room. My wife loves the Vienna Lager, I usually get one of the Porters or Stouts, or my old standby Ass Clown IPA.”

“This cafe/bakery is one of the best in Charlotte . The artisan breads , croissants , coffee are of superior quality. The breads are made with French flour which means it has not been ruined by glyphosate ,like here in the US . ( EU bans glyphosate ). Come by and enjoy !!”

“I welcome this new place. It is very convenient. The salads and Mezze platter are nice, The gyros and Pita sandwiches are average. Tonight for my take-away order which included my "traditional lamb gyro", there were way too many onions, too much tzatziki sauce, the lamb seemed a bit undercooked, and the pita seemed to be just out of a package and my "hand-cut fries were very soggy. Al though they were part of a take-away order, they were just ordered very shortly before. I believe that this place will be around for a long time as to the novice, it is very good. I am just a picky person that has been lots of places and eaten at lots of places as well. I wish the best of luck. I will still be eating there occasionally, but more salads and things like the mezze platter.”

“I’m from NY so my bar for great pizza is high. I was skeptical about pizza from a truck but after reading reviews thought I’d give it a try. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Absolutely delicious! Every component hit the mark. Quick turnaround and Mike was super nice, too. Keep up the good work, Mike!”

“We eat at Maola’s pretty regularly and it never disappoints. We have brought many friends there and they always want to know when we’re going back. Every dish is delicious and we’ve decided that we’re just going to go down the menu because we can never decide what to get. In addition to the consistently delicious food, this review is mostly to rave about our server last night, Anna. She was friendly, informative, knowledgeable about the menu, helpful and very accommodating to one of our party’s allergies. We’re planning to go back with a group of 8 in two weeks. Can’t wait to decide what to try next.”

“My wife and I had the Dragon bowl and the Acerola smoothie. Both were absolutely delicious! The bowls were bigger than others we have had in the area and the fruit was so fresh that I thought they were growing it in the back! Jessica and Mike are the best and they are so welcoming that you feel like you have known them for years. Next time, and there will be MANY more next times, I'm going to add cacao nibs. I think the chocolate would add another mood boosting layer to my already insanely healthy breakfast. This kept me going all the way to lunch and I even skipped coffee! I can't wait to go back to Seaboard Station Palm Berries and try the next bowl.”

“Just had lunch there first thing as H2 opened. C.A. was our server and he was exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed the Caprese trio and the Cuban was delicious! Hopefully, we will be back sooner rather than later!”

“Let's be honest. We all LOVE Coffee. This is probably the best place to get that fix and then some. You owe it to yourself to stop in here and be treated great and enjoy the great taste of the best coffee you could dream of. Great job Rich Lytle on giving the people what we want and need. Keep up the good work.”

“My kiddos love this place. the Graham cracker crunch ice cream is ridiculously good, a must-try.”

“food is great, I definitely recommend the steak nachos!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BEST IPA’s AROUND! And the serve wine too 😍”

“I spend a lot of time on the road with my work and I am always looking for a comfortable bar that isn’t a chain restaurant. This place is a great vibe. The staff, ( Megan, and Lex) are awesome. They allow everyone who enters to feel like a part of the “regular “ crew. I’ll be back here anytime I’m around. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Love the grab and go! Makes packing lunches for the week so much easier!”

“Ordered coffee, no one was letting anyone know their coffee was ready and could tell us what coffee was what. didn't look like any of the pic's on the page and was served is the smallest GLASS and got cold fast.”

“I frequent this food truck Mecca in Cornelius. Had the Brazilian for the first time today —- omg!! Beef was so tender and well seasoned —- yucca fries were great too. I made little sandwiches with the beef and coleslaw —- so doggone good. I came online looking to see if I could leave a Google review —- because it’s that damn good. That’s gonna be my new spot”

“Lost worlds brewing continually brings creative new brews to the scene. As hardcore stout lovers, lost worlds brewing absolutely beings it home consistently. They regularly attend festivals like the 2026 Charlotte Brew fest. They strive for bringing the best quality beer to North Charlotte.”

“THANK YOU LUNCH WAS EXCELLENT TODAY THIS WAS OUR THIRD TIME COMING”

“Best sushi 🍣 in the area by far!”

“Wha a great little place to get some authentic pho mmmm so yummy and flavorful and the customer service was excellent this was me and my guys first time here and they truly make you feel like family !”

“Great service and Atmosphere.”

“Stopped in after a yoga session and appreciated how impeccably clean the facility was—especially the restroom, which was spotless. There was plenty of seating available with a mix of high and low tables, making it a comfortable space to relax.

Service was fast with no wait, which was great. However, my order was made incorrectly—I asked for a Caesar salad and was given a Cesar burrito. When I mentioned the mistake, the cashier insisted that’s what I ordered. They did remake it, but there was no apology, which was disappointing.

My friend ordered the green detox smoothie. I’ve had that smoothie at many places and usually enjoy it, but I wasn’t a fan of their version.

Overall, the food was good, and I’d return to support a locally owned business—but customer service could definitely be improved.”

“I got the club sandwhich and my husband got some bbq. We both enjoyed our stop at mac’s on our road trip. Food was really good especially my sandwhich I ended up leaving my plate empty.”

“I’ve been coming here for a few years now and recently I’ve been coming here almost everyday before work. I love their smoothies, build your own parfaits, and grabbing their immunity boosters for a quick pick me up :) definitely recommend 😋😋”

“Food is amazing! Jeanette and team catered our party Dec 6,2025, we couldn’t ask for anything better! Their service was great and food was amazing. Thanks for a job well done! Would definitely use you again.”

“What an awesome addition to Old Town Cornelius! This is a hidden gem! The variety of cuisines is amazing and it’s located in such a fun spot! 🎊🤌🏼”

“Amazing food and service!”

“Great Tacos and Great Service!!!❤️”

“What a hidden gem! The hot dog is loaded up with quality toppings but somehow still light. If you are around you need to give this a try, such a nice guy working the truck too.”

“Love the Waterbean coffee shops— best things on the menu are the paradise latte and golden pear latte. Any latte is decent but the matcha is not good, barely tastes like anything. Great place to work during the day.”

“Went there on May 5th for Cinco de Mayo for dinner! We loved it!! Yes it was busy but that's what made the experience great! Shout out to all the employees! You all were working so hard to accommodate everyone. Birria tacos & frozen margaritas were fantastic!!”

“If you haven’t tried Ed’s Tavern for brunch, you’re missing out!! The shrimp & grits - amazing! The service was outstanding (thank you, Brittany! ) & the management staff (Russell) TOP NOTCH! We will definitely be back & will be asking for Brittany! So attentive & personable!”

“Love their ice cream! The Snow Monster is my favorite!”

“Off to a great start, food was really good! Fast service”

“The Atmosphere is a Beautiful Experience with Delicious Pastries made with Love and Family greets You with a huge smile Everytime. 🦋”

“Great time ! Awesome Staff! Great atmosphere! A MUST go!”

“Best time on the lake! If you find my wedding ring ring on heron island hit me up for a reward. Lost it diving for a football in an intense game of catch from the upper deck of a yacht that was way too big for the lake :})”

“very yummy bathrooms could use a good clean chicken is always tasty”

“Just had another great experience at Chick-fil-A and it reminded me why it’s one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, hot, and consistently delicious. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, the waffle fries are crispy, and everything just tastes like it’s made with care.

What really sets Chick-fil-A apart though is the service. The staff is always friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. It’s rare to find a place where the food is great and the customer service is just as impressive.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or stopping by for a milkshake and fries, Chick-fil-A never disappoints. Great food, great service, and always a solid choice.”

“Very nice staff here. Super nice & fast. We go for lunch. (Pizzas are pre-made & heated in the ovens)
Lunch specials are great.
Many food selections!
Outdoor area available.
New York themed & origins.”

“We LOVE our Crafty Burg'r here in Antiquity. ❤️ The staff is hands-down our favorite in town, food is delicious and comes out super-fast, and the drink selection is on-point 👌 Nice atmosphere with an outdoor patio option, fun & upbeat music and always familiar friendly faces. A must-visit (often!) here in Old Town. Highly recommend!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“What an awesome addition to Old Town Cornelius! This is a hidden gem! The variety of cuisines is amazing and it’s located in such a fun spot! 🎊🤌🏼”

“All about the ice cream! Limited parking, but usually enough. Walk up window service. The service is polite, friendly and quick. The ice cream is great. We will definitely return again.”

“I’m originally from NYC so I know a good Chinese restaurant and this is the best so far since I’ve moved here. They don’t call it NY for nothing. The only thing I think they should do different is have the sauces to pour on the food like hot sauce and ketchup instead of using the packets.”

“awesome people awesome environment daniel is the best!”

“10/10! I use to eat here when it was Katz Seafood a this blows it out the water! This food has flavoring god could only make! Our server was fantastic an I’ll be back every week! 10/10 calamari, steak tacos, anything and everything is amazing!”

“pool tables, jukebox and friendly service, southern style.”

“DELICIOUS! We always see this food truck and decided to give it a go today. Glad we did! Excellent dinner. Quick and service and excellent food. Can’t wait to try more items from their menu. The gentleman who took our order was also super friendly. Highly recommend.”

“I was there today around 4:00 and a customer refused to put her mask on. She was given a mask because she didn’t wear one in. Then she refused to put it on after one customer and three employees asked her to do so. I’m unsure how it played out after I left but consider not taking the order of a person not wearing a mask if your policy is you must wear a mask to enter your store”

“Amazing Pizza, Great Owner”

“I am thrilled that Jack’s brought back many of the menu items I love! I went last week and had excellent service as well as a great dinner. I will be headed back soon and also have a big party booked for after the Asian Festival dragon boat race. Jack’s has been our go to for over a decade!!”

“Love the entire staff at Jimmy Johns lake Norman. Their sandwiches are huge and so are their hearts. Freaky fast and freaky compassionate! Thank you Angelo (GM), Logan (LA), Caroline, Spencer, and the whole team. You guys have restored my faith in humanity with your willingness to help our homeless neighbors right behind your store. 💕”

“Stopped in this morning to pick up ham for Christmas. Line was to the door. Made my purchase and was out in 15 minutes with a “thank you and Merry Christmas”! Awesome service!!”

“We met here for a long promised lunch get together. Both the food and the atmosphere were fabulous. We will definitely continue to include this spot on our list of meeting places.”

“Had a couple of issues with To-Go orders. I'm talking every other order, so I felt I had to update my review.

Food is always great when we eat in! And I appreciate the staff fixing the issues when they happen.”

“Best French onion soup I have ever had. Quiche is amazing. Can’t wait to come back.”

“Great Pizza, Great Service!!!❤”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Local Gem in Cornelius! If you’re looking for authentic, mouth-watering pizza, pasta and wings in Cornelius, Prosciutto’s Pizzeria is the absolute gold standard. I’ve been here many times, and they never miss a beat. It's no wonder Prosciutto's is one of the longest standing Italian restaurants in the Lake Norman region. The Food - The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and chewy, and you can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Whether you’re grabbing a classic pepperoni or one of their specialty pies, the flavors are always spot on. Don’t sleep on their appetizers either—the chicken wings are available in a bazillion (Okay, I'm exaggerating) varieties are touted by the locals to be the best at the lake! The garlic and parm wings is my personal favorite. The Service - What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The servers are incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast, even when the dining room is packed. It’s rare to find a spot where the energy is just as good as the food, but the team here nails it every time. Bottom line: Great vibes, even better pizza, and a staff that truly cares. If you haven’t been yet, you’re doing your taste buds a disservice!”

“Our lunch today was very good. We had not dined in for a few years, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how busy it was while the orders were still being prepared and served very efficiently.”

“It’s a great neighborhood spot. Check out the karaoke at 9pm”
