“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… 😄🍨“

Ass Clown Brewing Company Brewery • $
10620 Bailey Rd # E, Cornelius

“Been coming here for years. This brewery is all about the beer. Staff is knowledgeable about everything they sell. EVERYTHING they make is good. I’ve literally never tried something here I didn’t like. Love the new seating area they recently opened up. If you haven’t tried this place you are missing out. Just great beer. Some of their best sellers are in cans to go, and they will refill your growler if that’s your preference (and doesn’t have to be theirs). Been to Lost Worlds, D9, Primal….the space is smaller, the beer is superior. Just wish I could get it at more local restaurants.“

“Tasty! I know Bruster's has been around for a while in this location but this was my first visit. My spouse loved the strawberry-banana, and I LOVED the chocolate peanut butter with buckeyes. The snicker doodle was my 2nd scoop but it was a little too cinnamon for me.

Lots of outdoor seating and parking. Will come back for a hot dog someday although they don't serve them after 5?“

“(1,000/5 Stars, honestly) - My fiancé and I had our engagement party here and cannot thank Lost Worlds enough for such a great time/experience. Lily was fantastic to work with coordinating the event -- she was so kind, helpful, and accommodating, and the entire LW staff made everyone feel so welcomed and taken care of (shout out Kacey, Lexi, Brittany, and Matt for being A DELIGHT to hang with!!!).

I'd absolutely recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone just looking for a primetime spot to have a beer, but especially for private events, too. Thank you guys so much again!!!“

“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!“

“Hello, Sailor is a coastal dream with food that hits like a sea breeze and service that makes you want to become a regular — and a huge part of that was thanks to Sally, who was absolutely amazing. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel like VIPs on a waterfront vacation, even though we were just here for dinner (and maybe a little escape from real life).

Now let’s talk oysters: WOW. Fresh, briny, and perfectly shucked — they tasted like they were plucked straight from the ocean with love and a tiny sprinkle of magic. If you’re even thinking about oysters, don’t hesitate. Just order them. Trust me.

Sally’s recommendations were spot-on, her timing was perfect, and her vibe was the right mix of warm, funny, and knowledgeable — like your cool friend who just happens to be a service industry all-star.

I’ll absolutely be back — for the oysters, the view, and definitely for Sally. Hello, Sailor? More like “Hello, new favorite spot.”“
