“My favorite coffee shop since moving to Davidson. The staff is always friendly and there's always a friendly atmosphere and good vibe. My coffees have all been delicious, and I've tried the specialities and basics, and the pastries are delicious as well. A great place to unwind and enjoy a cup or get some work done without distraction.“
“It does not get better than this place. I have been countless times over the years and not once have I had a bad meal. The food is top notch - great quality and delicious. Try the habanero salsa if you like a little heat! The staff is always great as well.“
“Ben & Jerry’s have been my go-to ice cream for many years. I had not done a review of this location and we have lived here for nearly 4 years.As one other reviewer said, good ice cream but not cheap. On this visit, I believe my husband paid about 15 dollars plus a tip for just two “small” ice creams. So I can’t imagine what a big family may spend in one visit.But it is so so good!“
“Stopped in for early dinner before a Davidson College show. We were looking for something different, and Alonso, our server, had some excellent recommendations, which we tried. I ordered the Lobster Paellaa Enchiladas and my partner the Chicken Fajitas, and everything was fresh, hot, flavourful, and very enjoyable.I also tried the p ?. The house drink is too mild for me with Alonso's input the second one was on target.Facility has both inside and outdoor seating. When in Davidson, stop in. You will be very happy. I really appreciate their veterans discount and will surely continue to support them.Parking: Consider parking behind the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“
“I had an iced caramel macchiato and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same, thanks to Lila who is a barista expert!! Not only is she super sweet and professional, she makes whatever you want so perfect, there’s no way you won’t have a smile on your face for the rest of the day! Definitely check this place out, and when you do ask for Lila, she’s the best!! ??“
“So far my husband and l have been there 3 times. The wedge salad is excellent with bacon and blue cheese. The dressing is delicious. I wish the ribs had more moist sauce. My husband got the grouper special last time. It was very good. It came with delecious lemon and butter sauce but you had to pay extra for the sauce. My husband and found that absurd. And the price was not justified for a relatively small piece of fish. My husband ordered the porkchop on another visit which he liked very much. I tried the cheeseburger onefe upon the waitress' recommendtion once. It was over cooked and nothing special. I didn't send back. I don't like sending back food except in rare cases. The crab cake entree was good. I got one crab cake. It was good and sufficient for me. I thought the price for 2 crab cakes was too high. The service was very good all 3 times we've been there. We find a good number of items on the menu over priced. We would return for at least the dishes we've tried.“
“Excellent food. We chose and shared Grape leaves, Chicken and meat swharma, baklava, tea and arabic coffee. Wow. For a small plaza restaurant it exceeded expectations. The staff was friendly and approachable. The dining area was casual but we managed to linger and truly enjoy the perfect flavors. So good. So, so good.“
“Hoptown hosted us for my wife’s birthday party. From beginning to end the service was exceptional. During the event we had ample seating reserved as well as an area for dinner and cake to be set. The staff made sure we did not have to come to the bar to order and made it a point to help us clean up at the end of the night. We will definitely be coming back for future parties not to mention weekend beers!!Thanks for being a part of our special night :)“

“The young lady working January 13, 2024 might’ve been the sweetest worker I’ve ever been served by. I asked for her suggestion and she happily made me the best dessert I’ve had. Girl deserves a raise or something hahaha - def check it “
“The food is ART. It taste as good as it looks. Eating at Rise Cafe is the entire package! From amazing customer service down to quality and taste of the food. This place feels like HOME. You walk in and feel like family. The place is decorated beautifully. Everyone is just kind. The food is delicious. Hands down one of the BEST dining experiences I’ve had. My new FAVORITE breakfast spot. I love small towns because it has amazing places like this ❤️“
“Great beer, super friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere! The beer selection is wide enough to ensure they have something for everyone (even have quality NA beer in cans). Personal favorites are Twains Amber, Goseck's Black Lager, and Sargon Red Lager.“

“We had a large party of 28 people +2 babies and everyone at BluStar was amazing. Food was delicious, hot and served with smiles. This was a special family dinner after a wake for our Mom. The owner personally arranged and managed our party from booking until we walked out the door The Unexpected surprise of Dad's favorite dish was the sweetest gesture. The staff provided accommodation for our group and extended their service late for our family.We greatly appreciate the caring and affection by the staff and the owner Nelson. Thank you!“

“Great chill place in Cornelius that has awesome people and drinks. Sometimes there is a food truck but good food isn't far either. All due respect to the patrons but it's like a 35+ age range. OH YEA the live music is always good.“
“Really loved this restaurant. Great menu, family feel to it. Staff were great and friendly. Cant say enough about how good the food was. Choices from basics to very fancy. Only issue was noise level. Sat next to a table where people where shouting at each other and very loud. Will make it a regular spot to visit.“
“Really great experience! The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They were patient as we worked through decisions and made several recommendations. Almost all of the beer was good to excellent. Amongst our group. We did several flights and there were only one to two beers that we did not like, which is to be expected. Personally love the amber waves, kettle fog and lawn boy. Our friends enjoyed the pomegranate gose, which I dislike goses and I could have had a whole pint. We also got the double IPA in cans to go and it was very good. I did also ask and they confirmed that they fill growlers if you bring your own. Lots of games to play and a nice open courtyard for when it's warm. We will definitely be back!“

“We done out all the time since we’re in the industry. 95% of the time we are disappointed but the Famous Toastery did not disappoint. We tried a few things off the menu but what we did try was balanced well. Good depth of flavor in their meals, which is hard to find in breakfast food. The stuffed strawberry and blueberry French toast were both great. We’ll be back when we visit Charlotte again. Compliments to the management and owners. You’ve created a well oiled machine“
“Hidden gem on Lake Norman! ? I can say that I have not had a beer here that I wouldn’t order a pint (or multiple pints) of. Everything is absolutely delicious. Beer making geniuses! They have something for every taste. My recent fav is the collaboration with Devils Logic, RETWEET! ? Awesome, inviting environment on the water, that you can bring the entire family to. ???? ? ?“
“This is a detailed review in both English and Spanish.EnglishVisiting Abbott's Frozen Custard was an experience akin to stepping into a slice of heaven. From the moment I walked through the doors, the sweet, enticing aroma of candy greeted me, setting the stage for what was to be an exceptional dessert experience. The custard I ordered seemed to have been sent straight from above, perfectly crafted to my specifications.The service was outstanding; the lady who assisted me was incredibly sweet and patient. She took the time to explain every detail of the dessert process, from the ingredients to the preparation. Her knowledge of the flavors was impressive, and her willingness to delve into the specifics of my taste preferences made the experience truly personalized. She suggested the day's special, Nacho Custard—a divine blend of coconut and vanilla, mixed with marshmallow and caramel. Opting for her recommendation, I was not disappointed. The combination was sublime, an absolute delight to the senses.This visit to Abbott's Custard was more than just a simple treat; it was a journey of culinary delight.

“Our cousins asked us to join them here to listen to live music on a Saturday night. I always like to research places that are new to me to check prices, seating, and menus. I could not find a website for this bar; however, they do have a Facebook page. Unfortunately, it doesn't really give useful information about the business. So we drove up to Mooresville not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised !! I was definitely impressed the bartenders/wait staff. Almost as soon as we got seated, someone came by to get our drink orders. Round one drinks were delivered to our table quickly. And the great service never stopped--even when the place got busy!! Someone was constantly coming by to clear the table and ask if we needed anything else. We didn't order food, but from what I could see they have a very limited food menu. Someone previously posted a review that said they are a cash only bar. That is definitely not true now-- they do take credit cards. This bar has plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. The restrooms were clean. The band was fun. The staff amazing! We would definitely go back!“
“Parking situation sucks a little bit on a busy day so plan ahead to either wait for a spot or to park on the road. The servers were very friendly and accommodating but a little slow but I know they were very busy since it was Saturday. Food is very good, we all got burgers and steaks and we're all pleased with what we got. The appetizers were portioned kinda small so don't play to feed more than 2 people per app. The view of the lake was beautiful. I wish the music wasn't playing so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk at the table.“
“Food was excellent and prices were good. Menu was full of choices, but confusing to order individual sashimi. Service was spotty, but food delivery was good. The bad part was the atmosphere. Very loud, crowded, very noisy, and cold. Made it hard to enjoy the good food. If nice weather, I might eat outside next time.“
“Twenty-Six Acres is a hidden neighborhood gem. While the location is a bit obscure, it is well worth the find. We went on a Friday evening. It was busy but not overly crowded.The servers are friendly. The brewery is nicely decorated with plenty of seating. There are plenty of screens to watch whatever sporting events are on. There is also an upstairs area that can be reserved.We were able to order food from Cousins Maine Lobster, which was the food truck on site that evening.Check the website or social media to see what events are happening throughout the week!“
“We had ourselves a honey/rose latte and a raspberry white chocolate latte. Both were super light, refreshing and not too sweet. You can tell they use quality honey. Also tried birch beer for the first time. It’s like the best root beer you’ll ever have. Definitely come here for the coffee and stay for the adorable atmosphere.“

“I had a Sunday cheesecake and I can tell you it was the best ice cream I’ve ever had. It tasted amazing. I love frozen yogurt but Wesley’s world ice cream exceeded my expectations. Thank you for passing by Truliant and provided us with your delicious ice cream. Thank you Mr. Chad and Wesley.“
“My knitting group and I found Neoteric last summer when looking for a spot to partake in World Wide Knit in Public Day. Right away, we felt welcomed by the staff, appreciated that they were willing to answer our questions about the beers on tap, let us taste different beers before committing to a pint and we really enjoyed our afternoon there. Flash forward to almost a year later and almost every Saturday, you will find at least two of us knitting away, chatting with the staff and drinking the best beer in the Lake Norman area.Why do we keep going back? The current staff is extremely friendly--they know us by name! The owners are good people and they have created a very welcoming atmosphere—love the green walls. It's dog and kid friendly, has good live music and the trivia night prizes can't be beat. There's usually a food truck, but you can always order from Killingtons across the street too.We consider Neoteric to be our Huntersville version of Cheers and look forward to many more afternoons of knitting over their delicious beers.“
“My husband and I eat here 4 times a week for lunch. The environment is really clean, the employees are very tentative and nice, and the food is always so fresh and delicious. If you are trying to live a healthier lifestyle with healthier food this place for sure is the answer. The prices are good and they give you a lot of food for your money. We love it here and highly recommend! :)“
“What an awesome place. Main Street coffee has the coolest vibes. I can't wait to get some work done at the desk by the window. Their coffee was good. We ordered two holiday drinks, (naughty list and something with mint) they were both great but more expensive than we are used to paying. But we don't have a problem paying for quality. The real star of the show was the French toast muffin. It was life changing!! Not even sure I grabbed a photo of it before we devoured it. Seriously. So good. The service was great!! Our barista didn't hesitate to make something special for my husband to meet his pickiness and did it with a smile on her face. Can't wait to go back!“
“We went hunting for a fish fry which is only prevalent up north so found this cute restaurant and we were surprised. Great battered fish and real potatoes fries. Loved the tartar sauce. Malt vinegar too. Service was great. Can’t wait to go back.“
“Great place ! Layout and atmosphere were cool ! My only observation, along with a few of the people around me was, the print on the beer list is exceptionally hard to read. The font is small and it's a light blue color against a light colored background. Make that print BOLD like a double IPA !!!“
“Cool place. We were there for a meeting where we kind of took over the side seating area. We sampled a few of their beers on tap. I opted to try a can of their apple crumble cider. It smelled just like apple pie. It didn't taste like pie which was probably good. It was a great apple cider. Only bad thing is I got the last one.“
“It's a really great dog bar! Trivia night is on Mondays at 7, though they don’t seem to advertise that on their website anywhere. It’s a lot of fun, and my team has won a prize both times we’ve gone. All of the staff are nice, and most of the dogs and owners are excellent as well. Some people bring dogs that are not necessarily ready for a dog park-themed dog bar, but it usually works out okay.My dog loves going there, I enjoy the atmosphere, and I plan to finally take them up on the Tuesday night bath & beer for $15 special soon.“
“This has been my favorite local (Mooresville) restaurant for some time now and just had another great meal on St. Patrick's Day with the family! Wanted to thank the staff for such great service once again. Angelica was great! We asked Hanna if she could make a Black & Tan for this special day and she gave it a try. Not easy to do but she didn't give up and came through! Thanks Hanna! You're the best. Looking for great food, awesome service, and a great place with friends or family? Mi Amiche is the place!“
“Great food. I have gotten 10 pc Teriyaki wings and a side of fries. The wings were so good. Fried just right and the sauce was immaculate! The fries were really good too. The fries was seasoned very well. My alcoholic beverage was liquid marijuana (my go to) and let me tell you after one glass, you will feel it and it was only eight dollars. This is a great bar to go to at night. I wish I had taken pictures of my food and beverage. I was so caught up in the moment. The server/bartender Dalton (I believe that was his name) was very pleasant. The other servers were very friendly as well.“
“Coffee is good, staff is great, but those spinach and feta pastries blew my mind. I literally had a Homer Simpson moment while driving reminiscing about tue pastry I just ate! Thank you! That was a real treat! I wish I lived in town - I’d be a regular!“
“Went there late evening for a refreshing cold treat to escape the heat. My family was greeted by a friendly young lady who was very eager to assist us. The store was very clean and welcoming. The ice cream was very rich and delicious and a fair price for what we ordered. I definitely will be going back again in the future.“
“This place sits off the main drag of Birkdale. It's not seedy, but it's dark. It's not date night, but it's comfy. It's not dinner, but if you let the bartenders do their job, you'll leave full. The best bartenders in the world work here because they care about your night out, whether it starts here or ends here...you never forget TKB!“
“Walked in to get a togo New York style pizza. Just cheese. Girls at the counter were very nice and helpful. When you walk in you can tell it's a New York style place in the south. Pizza was fantastic! Above average for sure. Foldable and crust was crisp to perfection. Very pleased with the outcome. Great job!“
“I have never been to this Restaurant before and was coming home from a party I didn’t enjoy. I called in and spoke to a young man who warmed my soul and helped me order what I wanted. Upon entering the place we were greeted by a beautiful bartender who introduced us to the man we spoke to on the phone. It was nice to put a face to the pleasant and inviting voice we experienced on the phone. Bam-Bam didn’t just take our order, he put the order together for us and while we waited served us a complimentary soda. The food smelled Amazing and I couldn’t wait to dive into it. All I can say is WOW! This food hit the pallet like melted ice cream on a warm sunny day. From the service, to the atmosphere and Bam-Bam, you need look no further. This place has it all. Thank you Bam-Bam for your hospitality and love you put into the food! We will be back on a day to dine in and once again experience the warmeth of southern cooking, hungry for more!!!!!!“
“I had the Ace burger I loved it It had charred edges and was freshly cooked.Parking: It had enough to park it's not busy so it is pretty easy to parkKid-friendliness: Nice people.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a few wheelchair accessible parking spots.“
“Overall I think it's a great concept. You can try a lot of different beers and make a decision of what you want to drink. Not having to tip bartenders is kind of nice. The interior is nice. The employees were friendly and we had a fun conversation . The person playing music was good and if you want to get away to have a conversation you have the upstairs patio. I'll be going back.“
“Hello Sailor charms with its vibrant nautical theme and waterfront views. The menu celebrates coastal flavors with inventive seafood dishes and craft cocktails. Lively ambiance, attentive service, and delicious fare make it a must-visit destination for dining by the water. Bon voyage to flavor!“
“Born and raised in Denver, NC and this place is by far the coolest spot this town has ever seen. The coffee is top notch, the ladies working are super friendly, and very fast. I will never waste my money at Starbucks when this local gem is here. 10/10 you will not be disappointed!“
“Absolutely phenomenal! Stopped at once place before on Easter and they had a preset menu, with nothing that looked good for outrageous price. Saved me from plopping near $500, so we searched and found this marvelous little place! Let me tell you something! We ate and ate and ate and ate some more, and the bill was half of what the other place was going to charge!The oysters were so fresh! Saw them being shucked before they made it too our table...so we ordered some more! The grilled oysters were phenomenal! Juicy, cooked perfectly, garlic was just enough! So...we ordered another round! Had the fried platter, and they swapped the Grouper out to Haddock for me, no up charge, so they are here to please! Cevieche was absolutely outstanding! Fresh, bright, crisp and citrus! The blacked dishes were also all gorgeous! We finished out with the keylime tart, it was soo good I stole it all ?? This is definitely and hidden gem and absolutely customer forwarded! Cozy place, beautiful and great atmosphere! Will ABSOLUTELY make this a spot near Lake Norman all the time!“
“Today was unfortunately my dogs last with us and the girls working there today were so nice and made my dog the best last treat she could ever wish for. If you’re looking for a place to bring your friends, family or dogs this is the place to do it. Thank you for making my dogs last day something special. Will never forget it“
“We had dinner here for the first time tonight, and I am so glad we chose this place! It was fun, offered many choices that allowed us to choose our own dishes. The atmosphere was fun, the employees were fun and friendly, and the food was excellent and served quickly. We recommend it for everyone!“
“I had a difficulty with DoorDash not having my order delivered, the kind gentleman who I explained my issue to went above and beyond. Not only did he let me know what happened with the pick up process but he also gave a great suggestion to help me get my order as quickly as possible“
“Yum yum yum! Manager was super accommodating and very helpful. Offered to make a dish if we didn’t see it on the menu so long as he has the ingredients; jsut a great guy. Food was fantastic too! Only note- one order of garlic naan comes with literally one large piece of naan (as opposed to 2 or even 3, as bread on the side often comes.) However, it was all delicious and as previously mentioned the host was super polite. We ordered the tomato soup, a side of rice, samosas chaat, garlic naan, the chicken tikka kebabs, and vegetarian chana masala.“
