We had an amazing waitress take care of our entire party and she did absolutely fantastic, the food was delicious and was a hit with everyone, and the entire staff from me reaching out to book and speaking with the owner to right before we walked out the door were all so incredible!

I grew up not to far from them but dont really go that direction since Mooresville is closer to me, my loss until now. I grew up on Mooresville made DeLux ice-cream and have that as my comparison in my head when I eat ice-cream. It has been impossible to find one that hit the taste buds anywhere close until I stopped in here after VBS as a late treat for our kids. You can tell its homemade and you can tell they care! I highly highly recommend this place of you want good quality homemade ice-cream with a good spot to eat it at. They also have a small arcade in the back room. Mooresville ice-cream near had that lol. (Butter pecan milkshake 100%)”

Not only was the establishment open, but even while slammed with customers and calls the staff was pleasant while taking our order. We were quoted 1hr to 1hr 45 mins due to the volume. Being that it's Christmas I completely understood and didn't mind the wait. Our food arrived Hot and Fresh in less than that hour. The delivery person heard my dog at the door while giving my husband our order and even was sweet enough to give our dog a treat. I have always had a great experience with the staff, but this was above and beyond on a day like today. Thank you for one being open on Christmas day and two for taking care of our family.”

“1st experience: Ordered Wings & Things combo at drive thru. 5 Bone-in Wings & 3 Tenders were tasty. BBQ sauce is very good. Fries are good but a little too salty. Texas toast is bland; doesn't add much.
Overall, a decent meal. Price is high at just over $13.
Will I return? Maybe. Have to be in the mood. The price is a turnoff.”

“Honestly I don’t even have a good experience when oder from drive thru. I been coming often to this location especially because my daughter is a picky eater so let me tell you…!! JAMES even knows when I’m there. He is efficient and kind always working hard never gave me a bad attitude and he also understands my order perfectly. This man is great, god bless for all his hard work and consistency. Cheers to James ❤”

McDonald's 1511 US-29, Kannapolis Fast Food • $

“I have never, ever gotten bad food from this McDonald’s. It is ALWAYS hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious at any time of day I have stopped. The one in Kannapolis could take some notes, I live much closer to that location but haven’t been to it in years because it is genuinely terrible, and I would rather make the drive to Concord for this one.”

Dunkin' 2257 Spider Dr NE, Kannapolis Coffee Shops • $

“I'm originally from New England. I just moved to North Carolina about 3 years ago so it took a very long time for me to find a Dunkin that was up to my standards. this location is always very clean. coffee tastes amazing. I work in sailsbury nc and I will purposely drive the extra 10 minutes on my commute to go to work every morning to go to this one before I ever go to the one down the street for my job. all I can say is make the trip. come here if you want fresh quality for your money. Salisbury be tasting like dirty water.”

West Loop Local 231 West Avenue, Kannapolis Cocktail Bar • $$

“Me and my fiance have been eating at Wedt Loop since they opened, and have always had great food and great service. This past Sunday we recently held our baby shower in the upstairs event space, and let me just say, everything from food, service, communication, everything was absolutely amazing. We had an amazing waitress take care of our entire party and she did absolutely fantastic, the food was delicious and was a hit with everyone, and the entire staff from me reaching out to book and speaking with the owner to right before we walked out the door were all so incredible! And the best part is the pricing was so reasonable, especially after looking at numerous venues in the area, and seeing how expensive they were! We will absolutely be hosting another event here in the future and I would absolutely recommend it for parties!”
