Warehouse Distillery Distilleries •
2628 Northwest Blvd, Newton - 7.92 miles

“Outstanding!

We stopped in for a drink at their full service bar. I ordered a Sazerac, which is always a good general barometer of the skills of the mixologist. My Sazerac was absolutely delicious. Complex and perfectly balanced; executed with skill that only an experienced mixologist can deliver.

My wife ordered a proprietary signature seasonal cocktail, (which I also sampled) and it was evident that it had been carefully crafted by a mixologist who truly knew their craft well. Not sweet, not bitter…rich and bright—refreshing with a clever play of citrus. What manner of mixologist sorcery is this?

This high level of craftsmanship combined with the excellent quality of the spirits they make at Warehouse Distillery are certainly great reasons for a return trip. It’s absolutely going to be worth your time to stop in.

I am compelled to return soon, to tour the distillery, sample their bourbon and stock my home bar with that wonderful rye!“

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.“

“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!)“

Starbucks Coffee Company Coffee Shops • $
1910 Catawba Valley Boulevard Southeast, 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.“
