“Cherry Pop's Soda Shop is THE spot to visit in Catawba, heck, all of NC if you want that retro flair! The food is immaculate and makes you want more. The drinks, sweets, and other baked goods are out of this world and out of this time. Everything is perfect; I have never, EVER been served something I don't like in my many visits to Cherry Pop's. I can't even go a month without visiting this place. They even have seasonal menus, so drop by when your favorite holiday is rolling around the corner. The people are HEAVENLY. They treat you like family, they treat you like you belong in their store. Everything from the food, to the people, to the gorgeous atmosphere make this a staple of Catawba; I LOVE Cherry Pop's Soda Shop!”
“Catawba is blessed to have its own version of “Cheers” - where everybody knows your name. Run by a wonderful young family, you always feel at home and, GREAT nonstandard “bar food”, always prepared just right. Eclectic selection of adult beverages. We are blessed to have Jim and Trish here in town running this fun family oriented “coming store”!??????????”
“Took my son here to eat, and there was so much to choose from that we didn't know what to get, so we ended up ordering multiple things. They did not miss!!! Everything was delicious ? Beautiful scenery!Vegetarian options: There are definitely things vegetarians can eat.”
“We stopped here on a trip. Lots of choices on the menu. You should definitely find something you like. They take orders up front and they will bring the food to you. The food was great. I really wish we had one in our town. Parking was the only complaint we had. They really need more parking!!”
“The food and service is always the best! The waitresses always take good care of you and they keep the buffet full even during the busy lunch rush! It is definitely worth it and the price can't be beat.”
“Got a real good breakfast here, and let me tell you the grits were in what I call a chili pot I'm talking eight quarts! It was on a double boiler so they didn't get ruined. Good coffee good food and wonderful ladies running this place and serving the customers here!”
“This is my local go to restaurant. The friendly atmosphere and authentic food is what keeps me coming back time and time again! The food is delicious and the service is excellent. This is all family here and you feel like family when you are here! I would highly recommend 3 Hermanos!”
“Tried Lkn Cheesecake in Lincolton and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious! We tried the Peach cobbler crumble, blueberry crumble, strawberry crunch & Oreo mint cheesecake! Slices are $8 and whole cheesecakes are $55! We will definitely be going back to try more flavors!”
“Great subs. Somehow the bread gets better if you order a hot sub to go.Wonderful, friendly folks running it. Only open lunch hours except Thursdays during the summer.Parking: A little crowded in the lot at lunch time, but worth it.”
“Very happy this place exists in our community. A great place to snag a quick bite and drink, or to stay and enjoy fun music and events. The staff is always friendly and fun! :)”

“I had the chorizo torta and steak tacos. Had to split that into 3 separate meals there was so much food. Very good flavors. I will be going backWheelchair accessibility: It is a food truck in a parking lot so wheel chairs would have no issues at all”
“It was my first visit to this establishment. There was a $5 fee to join as it is a club. I was by myself and the barkeep made sure I was included with the group already there. Everybody was welcoming and I felt comfortable being there alone. I'm looking forward to my next visit.”
“The best way to judge the quality of a pizza joint is to order just a cheese pizza, if they mess up a cheese pizza, that's not the place to be.Amalfi's did not disappoint. The crust was delicious and perfectly cooked, sauce to crust to cheese ratio was perfect. I felt there was a little too much cheese but who's going to complain about that? The canoli and tiramisu were both delicious. I ordered the cold Italian sandwich. I didn't like it, and would not order it again.We have been all over Catawba County trying to find good pizza since many of our go-to places have declined while raising their prices. I think it's safe to say that if you want good pizza, this is the place to go!”
“Gail was wonderful. She was friendly and always made sure we had what we needed. There's three pool tables. Even though I didn't order any food, the price is reasonable. Three dollars a bottle of beer is pretty cheap. Also, have tap beer where they rotate out to different brand depending on the days. Overall, we had a great time.”
“Wonderful atmosphere, patrons, cold beverage of choice and Shawnee understands when I say "two's my true limit". I love the music and the decor is amazing. Uniquely unique.”
“Toucan’s has become one of our go-to spots around Lake Norman. The food is always good and the service has been excellent every time.Their menu has something for everyone and they execute each item well. From grilled or fried seafood, to American classics like burgers and cheesesteaks, to south of the boarder fare, they have never disappointed.Last night, for national margarita day, I had the carnitas tacos and my wife had the grilled seafood trio. The Toucan’s margaritas were on-point with plenty of Patron Silver. You won’t find a better one for the money and we’ve tried hard.My tacos were very good and the side were better than what we experience at all the local Mexican restaurants.My wife’s seafood trio, seared scallops, mahi mahi, and shrimp we all cooked perfectly and her plate was piled high. 5 large scallops, 5 jumbo shrimp, and a healthy filet of mahi mahi along with 3 sides. WOW!Top it off with the consistently excellent service that makes our kids feel special and us feel at home. This place is a gem no mater the time of year.Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu with all the standards. Ages 8 and down. They always treat our kids special and allow them to be kids. The collection of large tiki statues are always a hit and the claw machines occasionally give up a prize as well.”
“Very family oriented. The food is awesome, and their wings go untouched in this area. If you are looking for a cost-effective place to eat you won't be disappointed.”
“We are always greeted with a smile. The food is always so good! I love the hot and sour soup with tofu and the freshly made sushi. i have never been disappointed with any of my many meals I have had there and I highly recommend Jin's Buffet!”
“First time there. Ordered pizza it was great plenty of cheese and toppings. Ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Definitely going back and try their other foods.”
“Consistently great steaks and salad bar. Casual steak house with awesome service. Atmosphere resembles a 1980s decor and always expect a longer wait since there are no reservations or call ahead seating. We still will highly recommend this place for delicious food with great service.”
“This was my first time trying this place and it did NOT disappoint! We ordered the cheese bread, pepperoni Stromboli, and the M&M dessert pie. We started with the cheese bread and it was incredible! Super cheesy and perfectly seasoned! The pepperoni Stromboli was 100% the star of the show! It was huge (worth the price) and it was FILLED with tons of cheese and pepperoni! We tried it with their house made ranch and they get bonus points for having great ranch ? the Stromboli was amazing, the slight spiciness of the pepperoni and the cheesiness was a perfect balance. And finally we finished off with the M&M pie, it was good! It was a chocolate chip dessert pizza with M&Ms baked into it! It came with an extra cup of icing for anyone with an extra sweet tooth! Overall this place, the people, and the food are a 10/10! The only thing to be aware of is on the website some of the prices and pictures are not updated to the current prices and presentation of products! But no points deducted on my end because Elise did inform me they’re in the process of changing some things on the website around. I will definitely be back here very soon to try some more of their menu items!”
“Family owned business been open for yrs. Has the older time feel as an old dinner. They cook to order, and it's cash only no worries though there is is a bank with an ATM right a cross the street. Their burgers are fresh beef with fresh cut veggies every day. Absolutely love this placeParking: You have street parking and across the street at the bank”
“I have had the best experiences at The Coffee Lodge since I found it. If you’re a frequent a coffee shop goer, you’ll recognize this place has just such a great cozy vibe. The owner is extremely nice and welcoming. Any other staff I’ve encountered has been friendly and attentive. They did a great job providing ample flexible seating areas to accommodate socializing or getting work done. Even the patrons are friendly and neighborly feeling. I’ve enjoyed the lavender latte, dirty chai latte, strawberry smoothie and mini cinnamon buns. All of its been delicious.”
“Always enjoy this restaurant the food the people, it had been a good while since we were there and the server remembered us .Kid-friendliness: Its a family oriented place we always bring the kids and Grandchildren”
“I got a double cheeseburger all the way and wow it was ridiculously good! Honestly the best burger I think I've had in Catawba county, super cheesy and not so loaded with other stuff that you couldn't taste the meat. I haven't been in over a decade, but I will certainly be going back often!”
“Small town restaurant go to for your bar-b-que and smoked meats. Bar-b-que chopped was moist perfect amount of sloppy the bread wasn't soggy and topped with in house made BBQ sauce and BBQ slaw. I wanted smoked chicken half or quarter and had asked about the chicken plate but the clerk didn't really elaborate. Great choice and worth the drive.”
“Came here on a Wednesday for wing night special. I had part teriyaki and part buffalo wings. Service was good and the wings were delicious. Also they had a DJ and we played music bingo. My son won a hat and a 10.00 gift card. Most likely will go back!Parking: Very little street parking. We parked in the back in a dark lot and came in the back door. Back door you walk by the grease trap and the stuff you usually don’t see at a restaurant. I felt it was not ideal.Kid-friendliness: Kids seemed very welcome here. Had food for kids as well.”
“Our family has been ordering from China One for a few years now and I can honestly say that they have the best food and the portions are great! It's always consistent, perfectly cooked, portioned, flavored and decently priced. We've tried many other restaurants, but China One remains our favorite and our go to for our entire family.All of their food is delicious which is why each of us usually order more than one meal, side, or appetizer so that we can have some for lunches during the week.I certainly can't get enough of their honey chicken and house rice noodles. ?My husband has ordered about half their menu and loved all of it. HahaBest food, quality, portions and price in all of Statesville. ”
“Lovely, creamy ice cream, huge scoops & great service - they even had small tubs of low-fat vanilla ice cream in the freezer, which was absolutely perfect for our dog after a long hike at Lake Norman State Park! Definitely recommend :)”
