Owner is super friendly, takes great pride in their product and the experience. She's also on the board for the state distillers association and actively trying to promote the business.

“I was having an argument with my brother about which burger was better, a whataburger or five guys burger? However I had never eaten a five guys burger. So I decided to give the five guys burger a try to settle the argument with my brother. I have to say, I see the difference in the taste quality when it comes to both places. Five guys burger has a taste quality that doesn’t get old. After a few times at whataburger which was great at first, however I began to get tired of it. Five guys wasn’t only refreshing but an amazing burger. Seriously the taste doesn’t get old. Only complaint I would have is, five guys needs ranch to serve to their customers. Other than that Kudos!“

The cashier stared at us the whole time and asked us to hurry. They told us we had a limit of an hour inside. We didn't question it and left. This was 3 years ago. Could of been my new favorite coffee spot. Have not and will not be back.“

“Vittles​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ in Lincolnton is truly a delight and can be considered as one of the top dining places in town without much effort. The friendly smiles and the great feeling of southern hospitality that welcomes you in the very moment of your arrival make you feel absolutely comfortable. The surroundings are simple and warm, a nice, neat place that is suitable for the company of a family, friends or even a casual date night.

The food here is excellent to the point where you can hardly say anywhere else. Each meal is done perfectly, bursting with flavor, and it is very obvious that it was made with a loving heart. No matter the bite, you can feel the freshness, whether it is from the meats that are seasoned to the perfection, the sides that are filling, or the desserts that are just right in terms of sweetness and comfort. The amount of food that you get is more than enough, thus making you leave with a full stomach and the prices are even lower than what you would expect for the quality and quantity you get.

What really sets Vittles apart, though, is the service. The employees are extremely friendly and they can do everything to make you feel treasured as a customer. Beverages are filled up without delay, dishes are brought hot and the servers are always around with a smile to check on you. Nowadays, it is very difficult to find a place that does everything perfectly - from serving food and providing service to the atmosphere - but Vittles is one of them.

In case you are a local of Lincolnton or just a visitor, you should definitely stop at Vittles. It is the type of place that makes you remember the good food and nice people that never go out of fashion. I mean, a full five-star ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌mark!“

Starbucks Coffee Shops • $
1910 Catawba Valley Blvd SE, Hickory - 10.11 miles

“I decided to stop in to grab a cold brew during a grocery run on Saturday 5/17/25 around 12:30 in the afternoon. Per normal, the Target Starbucks line was rather long, but I was luckily shopping kid free that day and in no rush to scurry back home, so I waited patiently (all the mamas understand). I would guesstimate I waited between 10-15 minutes and the entire time only one person was working, a very tall, dark haired man. I wish I had gotten his name because I would love to give him the biggest shout out! The whole time I was in line I watched him seamlessly take multiple orders and make their drinks all in a line like a bar tender. He never messed up, never faltered, and pumped out coffee to the masses like a pro. You know how us white girls can get about our sugar flavored drinks, and he met every single one of us in line with a big smile and welcomed greeting. He held polite conversations as he worked and even made sure each person got their correct order handed directly to them, instead of just slamming them on the counter for you to find. I'm not sure where you found them gem of a gentleman, but during the time I was there, he made each and every person feel like their order was important and even the grumpiest Karen seemed to leave in a better mood (that may have also been because they finally got their caffeine fix for the day). He made sure when taking your order you didn't miss anything, and would double check to make sure you have everything you want when he handed off the goods. He'd even offer to fix your drink if you have any issues. I know it's stressful being the only one working (I'm hoping there was a coworker on break and Starbucks didn't just fail this man by having him work alone on a Saturday), and I hope he knows how amazing he is to take a deep breath, grit his teeth, and keep on pushing through as if nothing was the matter. I don't even know if my cold brew tasted good or not because the only flavor I could taste was pride. Whoever his mama is, should be proud.“

“Anytime we go the food is always amazing and the customer service is top tier. We usually order ToGo or get a take out box from the buffet and either way the food is great! I've never seen a restaurant give you the option for 1) buffet 2) buffet to go box priced by weight AND 3) order by phone/online. They really accommodate to any preference of eating.
Incredibly family oriented-we're not SUPER regular but we've been enough that they knew who we were when my mother picked up food for us after we just had our baby, and we even brought him to meet them the next time we went. I'll tell anyone, anywhere, to try Jins of Lincolnton because they really are the best (and they have the best egg rolls I've ever had!)“
