“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.“

“Wife and kids were feenin’ for something sweet, so we stopped by Handel’s one night after dinner… and just like that, it became part of our nightly post-dinner routine.

We ended up going back 4 nights in a row! Each time, we went for the four-scoop sampler and, by the end of our trip, we’d tried 32 different flavors. Yep—32! And honestly? They were all pretty great. Creamy, delicious, and not too sweet—just perfect.

Handel’s became more than dessert—it became the highlight of our nights. You’ve been warned: once you go, you’ll probably go again… and again… 😄🍨“

Lost Worlds Brewing Company Brewery •
19700-D One Norman Blvd, Cornelius

“First, the food was excellent. We were there for $1 wing night, and trust, these are some of the best smoked wings I have ever had. My only complaint is that you order sauces, and the wings don’t come sauced, you have to dip the wings in the sauce, which is awkward to eat, especially if sharing, so make sure you ask for individual sauces. We also ordered the hotdog for our daughter, it comes with fries, but they happily substituted it for Mac & cheese, which was good as well. If I was an adult ordering this Mac & Cheese, it could easily be elevated if they added a crispy cheese and bread crumb top layer.

Second, I went to a brewery and felt compelled to talk about the food first, so that is why it is a 4 star and not a 5 star. The beer was okay, but the wonkiness of the service and the absolutely uncomfortable low top chairs, made this a place not top of the list for breweries in the area. I am not surprised by counter service only at a brewery, but I am surprised when I visit a brewery with a restaurant menu then for them to only provide counter service. Once you get your food, counter service makes it inconvenient having to walk away from your party and food to wait in a line at the counter to order your next beer. They need to have a digital solution, where you can order beers through an app, or have someone that walks around and clears glasses and asks if the table needs anymore beer.

I was really impressed that the chef came out of the kitchen to ask us about our meal and gave us some insight on the menu and how the food is prepared. Now imagine if the brewery had someone walking around talking to guests and informing them of the beer options, flavors, and upcoming seasonal batches. What a difference that would have made. But also, those low top table chairs are garbage, I cannot stress that enough. Will we come back to Lost Worlds? maybe…, those wings were so darn good, and now I want to try other menu items.

Ps. We have a 5 year old, so simply moving to a high top table for comfort is not a great option.“

“Been driving past this restaurant for years, decided to stop by today and my only regret is that I didn't try this place sooner. The food was easily 10/10, portions were big and prices were very good. For 2 people we paid a total of about 35 dollars and we were absolutely stuffed. The chips and salsa were the best I ever had. This is without a doubt the best Mexican restaurant in the area. The waitress/server was very pleasant and never missed a beat. 20/10 restaurant!“

“The food and atmosphere were great and I would highly recommend the spicy chicken sandwich with the pickles on the side. The combination of the spices and the vinegary pickles was top notch. However while some people would stop their 5 stay review at the food, I would add an additional 5 starts alone for the service. If you are ever planning on coming here I would call ahead and make sure Landon is working because he was the best server I have ever had. If you have a 529 plan your child’s education or a 401(k) for your retirement I would seriously consider liquidating half of it to tip Landon. Not only was he humorous and accommodating but he made our trip to hello sailor feel like an experience unlike any other that would rival a trip to the moon! Couldn’t recommend this establishment enough!“
