“This was an awesome gem of a resturant hidden in the woods. Such an intriguing history of the place. I LOVED their seafood - flounder, shrimp, fried oysters and will definitely be going back again. It was also great to meet the owners and family members that are part of the history of this place and land. They hosted the group I was with (CAPS) and really showed that Southern hospitality to us all. Thanks guys!!!“

“I was on vacation with 3 other couples. we had a reservation on 8/22/25. Our server "Q" was great and did a wonderful job going over the specials and recommendations. The french onion soup was delicious. I am typically not a steak person, but decided to try the petite filet with garlic butter and the baked potato. It was phenomenal and I was very pleased with my choice. others got the ribs, lamb, lobster bisque, a plethora of sides, cheescake and lava cake....nothing was less than delicious. Bonus, I got engaged here as well“

“Excellent service by Kareem. Food was good as always.“

“Food and service is excellent. The value is great for the amount of food you get. Sara L was polite and very attentive. The calamari was a huge portion and enough for 4 people as an appetizer. Every time we come here we leave happy and full and with some leftover for the next day. Highly recommend“

“My family has eaten here a few times over the past year or so and it has always been good. We usually do the 'build your own bowl' and there are a lot of options. My kids like the white rice with avocado, tuna, and sweet soy sauce. In many cases I can split two bowls across three people making the price reasonable (around $25-27). Service at the counter has always been friendly and the tables in the restaurant are clean. Would recommend going there if you like poke bowls - much better than the ones from the grocery store and about the same price.“

“Nice folks and good food.“

“Friendly staff and great food!“

“Best Brunch in town tell Nick that Charlie sent you and get VIP“

“We have been going to Antico for at least seven years; the food is normally excellent. Last visit, I had the lunch portion around 2PM Chicken Capricioso and the chicken was tough, barely any artichoke. This review was more of a heads up to the kitchen. I was kind on the “4” rating for the dish, as your dishes are typically wonderful. Also, our waiter was too busy socializing to notice the needs of his other customers.“

“AWESOME FOOD GREAT SERVICE WE HAVE BEEN GOING HERE SINCE THEY OPENED“

“Thank you for hosting our family after the service for my son. You being so accommodating for the 50 of us melts my heart! ♥️ thank you so much!“

“I love their chicken salad. I was so disappointed when they took it off their menu. The last time I was there I. asked the manager about it. He said they now run it as a special every other week. And to call each week to see if it was a special well today was my lucky day! I called and it was on special! I have to say I was disappointed when I saw they had cut back on the portion size and cost had gone up. But I wanted it that bad and paid the price! It was still as good as ever. I also tried their cheesecake and oh my it was awesome. I could not eat it all at one setting!“

“First time visiting this location of Red Rocks. Saturday afternoon was very attentive. No seating inside at time of visit so was seated outdoors.. which we didn’t mind. Server was respectful and polite. Only problems was ALLLL THE FLIES. Fans were circulating above but not really near tables to serve any purpose other than moving air. Owner/manager greeted everyone which was very nice. But you really got to see what can be done with flies… you could barely get food on your fork up to your mouth before they were all over your plate or trying to get to the fork. That made for an unpleasant dining experience. I’ve never ate on any restaurants outdoor area and flies were that bad.“

“Awesome evening celebrating our 38th year of marriage! We were treated like royalty by our waitress, Loren, and had a spectacular dinner, starting with the Oyster Pairing flight oh, so fun! Thanks to all the staff who made our evening memorable! Highly recommend!“

“I have been here before but it has been quite a while but this was the first time bringing my mom. Very fun decor (nascar and football themed) We sat inside the bus located inside the restaurant which had little mini TV’s playing kids movies. Very fun. I ordered the BBQ plate which included 2 sides (Mac-n-cheese & baked beans) not your typical Mac-n-cheese - like curly pasta noodles and white cheddar cheese. Baked beans with yummy with onions & bits of bbq in them. The flavor of the BBQ sauce is good. I’m not a vinegar based girl so it was nice to have another option to dip my BBQ in. Husband said the ribs were seasoned well & not dry. Waitress was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Great local beer and fish and chips!“

“Fresh Chef in Denver NC is an amazing dining experience. From the exceptional service to the highest quality of food you will be treated to a wonderful meal! We use their catering service often at Pursuit Church and we have always been greatly satisfied.“

“Great margaritas and Great food“

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. The staff is always very friendly. The atmosphere is a lot of fun with a bar section that makes delicious drinks. I recommend their chicken quesadillas, cheese dip, rice, beans, chimichangas. We have loved everything we tried but these are our favorites.

Kid-friendliness: This place is very kid friendly with lots of space to spread out.“

“My husband and I dined here on December 27th. The young lady that took our order was very friendly and personable. While eating, a young gentleman checked on us twice. On his second time of checking on us, I waved him over and informed him that the Mtn Dew was all syrup. He stated that they just had had someone come out to fix the carbonation and he was guessing it didnt get fixed. He replaced my drink with lemonade and we talked briefly about what flavor lemonades we enjoy. He was very friendly and personable as well. 5 STARS for service and the food was great as well. My husband stated that it was probably the best flounder he had ever had.“

“Firebirds is my favorite NorthLake area restaurant. A friend and I had lunch there on a Wednesday at the height of the lunch time service. They were quite busy but our food quality was outstanding as was the service from Jetta. Our tenderloin salad and salmon salad were perfection. We ordered the carrot cake for dessert, which was one of the best I have ever had. Huge portion too! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Actually, any of the Firebirds locations in the Charlotte area are exceptional. Quality food and service at reasonable prices.“
