“we went for Sunday brunch. .Our server Ashley(?) was fantastic! Did a great job describing the menu. Made everything sound delicious. This was our first visit there. Our food was fantastic! There were four of us, we had the Meatloaf Benedict eggs Benedict, Cajun shrimp omelette and the smashburger. we all sampled each other's food. Everything was so very good! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went ahead and made a reservation for the following Friday evening dinner. Can't wait to go back!!!”
“Excellent service, fresh and delicious seafood, stylish interior plus outdoor seating area - great place!”
“Nothing negative to say. The cocktails, appetizer and entrees were SPOT ON, The food and service was 5 stars. Diego was the most profession and comical server. We only live 2 miles away and have found a diamond in the rough. We will definitely make this spot our regular date night!!”
“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”

“Hoptown has the absolute BEST staff! We are always greeted with smiles & kind words. There's a huge variety of beers & some cocktails to select from. There is always something fun to do from Singo to Trivia, live bands or markets you'll never be bored. Hoptown frequently has a great food truck rotation & if the food truck isn't your cup of tea Brooklyn Boys pizza delivers. There's also a wonderful little area to celebrate events. I have personally never had a party here but I've seen some beautiful baby showers & birthdays. If you haven't tried Hoptown you're missing out!”
“We come from New York and lived in Boca Raton and have now lived in Cornelius for four years and the food here in North Carolina is horrible to say the least! Acqua Ragazza is finally a place where you can find an excellent dining experience! The only downfall is that the prices are a bit high for the area where it is located and to add insult to injury when we asked for additional bread, they charged us a whopping four dollars which after what we were charged for the meal was shocking to say the least! Aside from that unless you either live in The Point in Mooresville or The Peninsula in Cornelius, very few people in this area will be able to afford the prices! Just a Point to Ponder for Management!”

“So, if you think you’ve eaten cookies, you haven’t. I’m kinda frustrated with Red’s because I will never enjoy another cookie the same way again. They are crispy and moist. They are unique and classic. They even taste fresh the next day! I was given a flavor I don’t even like and now I think it’s my new favorite. Who needs healthy blood sugar levels when you can eat a cookie from Red’s?”
“NC Donut Star is simply the Best! A coworker turned me onto theDonut Star and I have to fight the urge to go there sometimes because I battle with my weight. The donuts are light and fluffy. They are so soft and delicious. I am going to the beach today and I am going to pick up an assortment so my mom can try them. I have raved about this place and she is curious as to see what they taste like. I am sure that she will be delighted as I am. The store is clean and it is a great environment. All of the donuts in the case look so inviting that it is hard to choose what little beauty you will pick out. I am impressed! I highly recommend checking them out. Krispy Kreme Who? yeah, I said that.”

“Incredible! So many gluten free options, marked clearly on the menu. And FANTASTIC gluten free key lime pie! The owner, Nelson, made sure we knew how much they cared about making an affordable and safe GF dining experience. Loved the ambience and the food; the burger was one of the best I've ever had and the gf bun was soooo fluffy! They give you a FREE cookie at the end and the gf cookie was actually soft and not crumbly. I cried a little I was so excited. I will be back!”
“A wonderful time was had and as always Melanie is a wonderful host there. We've been going for over five years and will definitely be back. TJ & Bill Adcock”

“Wowww!! This is a must!!! Amazing food and service! The owner Ubi (spelling??) is an amazingly kind and generous person!! He shared so much about their authentic cooking and let us sample everything. Truly the best birria tacos and so much more!! Soups, stewed and grilled chicken with poblano cream sauce was superb! Highly recommend!”

“This is the second year we hosted our neighborhood holiday party at Shoals Grill. They have updated the private party room which was a nice surprise. We had a group of 50 people and the service and food was great. Andrew, the event manager, and our bartender were very accommodating and responsive to our needs. We look forward to hosting our party again there in 2025.”

“We just found our new favorite spot! The food was absolutely amazing, huge portions packed with flavor. The margaritas were out of this world, not only delicious but beautifully garnished. Our server, Santiago, was phenomenal. Every single recommendation he gave us, we tried, and he was spot on every time. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes and we laughed the entire time we were there. Everything was absolute perfection from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back!”
“After reading most of the reviews I can personally attest that many are accurate. We have been 3x , one lunch and 2 dinners. Lunch was good, no complaints at all but will agree the $$ is a bit high but what isn’t today. Now on to the dinners , both times it was 2 couples I would rate the first visit a 1 and the second a 4.5. The first experience was not pleasant. Slow service, cold dinner the list goes on. We decided to give it a go last week and a complete 180. Very good service very good food and our guests loved it as well. Everyone has an off day so very glad we tried it again. Next time it will be another lunch visit.”
“Taqueria Guerrero is tasty and worth your time. Got the carne taco, the pollo taco, and the chorizo taco. All of them were good, and the price was good too. I paid $15 for 5 tacos. The woman who helped me was friendly. I'd recommend taking your food to go because it's in a parking lot next to a gross abandoned car wash. But I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience. This is the best taco truck I've been to in the area.”
“My favorite brewery in Mooresville. Solid selection of brews, and i love the fact that they keep some low carb seltzer options available for us ketokatz that happen to be watching our carbohydrate intake. Lol. Outdoor seating area is great. Bartenders are always friendly! Plenty of parking is a plus. I love me some GhostFace!”
“Service and food were all outstanding. Your host, Paige, went the extra mile to make special arrangements for our birthday cake. She allowed me to drop it by the restaurant early so my wife could be surprised. The cake was fragile - Paige made sure it was kept safe. She took photos of our party for us while our server Lauren brought out the cake with a candle! BTW, the appetizers and drinks were outstanding too. We had a great time and will be back soon.”

“We had the opportunity to celebrate my brother’s birthday at Flock. The team at Flock. is top notch. The service, the food, the atmosphere was all wonderful. We had a variety of food and everything was terrific. I cannot recommend this enough!”

“Our first experience with Playa Bowls was at this location this afternoon for lunch. Gianna seemed to be working by herself when we walked in and there was not only a line waiting to order, but people waiting for their orders. To add to the chaos, it looked like mobile orders kept popping through too. After overhearing a conversation with a coworker on the phone, she was overwhelmed but had the coolest head and was still very kind. The wait was obviously longer than you’d expect, but we walked into it and had that expectation from the get-go so it was no issue for us. In case she had a rough day today, I hope she knows she handled the situation, the sudden rush, really well! The Pura Vida and Power bowls were delicious!”
“Had a baby reveal and double birthday celebration.. I had specific idea for a cake for expecting sisters..Rachel did an edible image I provided and decorated just as I had requested..PERFECTION!! And this was by far THE BEST marble cake I have ever eaten. Beyond moist and amazing icing!!! I also had 40 mini cupcakes a mix of 4 flavors (lemon, strawberry, red velvet and carrot) and I cannot tell you which was better…all the best yummy representation of their flavor!!! I am a cake junkie..I live for cake. My last meal request would be cake..and it would have to be made by Rachel! 11/10!!!! Such an amazing job! Happy me!”
“3-2025 This is our second year using the conference room @Performance Coffee for our Greeter's Team Training Conference. Jeff is so accommodating & willing to work with any group with the Conference Room having a big screen & wifi. We enjoy their Coffee, drinks & pasteries. Thank You Jeff & Staff for allowing us to feel right at home! Cindy Washam, Pastor @Kristina Gibbons, @Lake City Celebrate Recovery.”
“We have lived in Mooresville for 34 years. This is only our third trip to Big Daddy's. The first time was so long ago I don't remember it. Everytime we go the food gets better and better. If you love seafood but not necessarily the beach, this is the place to eat!!! It is better than any beach restaurants.”
“We always enjoy our experience at Jeffrey’s. The food is delicious and the service is great. Everyone is so friendly from the minute you walk in the door. Our server tonight was Stacy. She was super friendly and pleasant. And once again, our meal was delicious.”

“Visiting family nearby and found this place while looking for local restaurants in the area. Was not disappointed at all, we got bagel sandwiches and all were fantastic!! The owners are super friendly and accommodating, they triple checked the orders to make sure they were correct!! Will definitely be back to order a dozen bagels to take home!! My favorite bagel was the french toast, so yummy!! I can’t say enough good things about this place - definitely worth a visit or two!!”
“Came here as a first timer. Gm Kellen and bar manager Sam were so down to earth and made the entire experience! however I then got the food, I got a burger, pretzel rods and even ordered a pizza to go. I think it’s the best burger hands down I’ve ever had, pizza was perfect size and full of flavor. Great atmosphere, and has turned my normal lunch spot on its head because they’ll see me here way more often!!”
“It was a fun experience for my family, and I love that they allow dogs. It was clean and the people were very nice.
My coffee was excellent, but my food was ice cold in the middle. That being said, I will still come back. It’s a great place for my family living in Charlotte, Mooresville, and Statesville to meet.”
“Service was excellent! Food was delicious! We had a pizza, chicken parmesan, several salads and the canolli dip dessert! Draft beers hit the spot too. It's a favorite place for us as locals and we often bring out of town guests too!”
“They have inside and outside seating ( weather permitting), good beer (I enjoyed an IPA), live music, and the bartender let me borrow an iPhone 15 charger. Friendly atmosphere. A nice place to relax and enjoy a beer.”

“I love Buckos fish Friday. So today I had my fish sandwich turned into a wrap to lose some bread. Light lettuce and light tartar. It was the bomb!! Lettuce added a little extra crunch and Buckos tangy tartar set it off in that wrap. It was a big flounder burrito. Will be my go to when I want fish now !!! Thank you guys for always making food hot, fresh and amazingly tasty!!”
“This is definitely the best Chinese spot in town, just like some of the other reviews have mentioned. If you’re looking for great flavor, generous portions, and fair prices, China 2 delivers all that and more.
I ordered two sesame chicken combos—one without sesame seeds—and swapped the rice for lo mein for just a $2 upcharge. Each combo came with an egg roll and a sweet tea, making it a complete and satisfying meal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and both the lo mein and egg roll were delicious.
At $10 per combo, the price is more than worth it, especially considering the portion size. You really get your money’s worth here.
If you’re in the area and craving Chinese, I highly recommend giving China 2 a try. As I always say, finding a good Chinese spot is a must, and this one checks all the boxes.”
“Just ordered pizza for the first time from Hawthornes. I’m from NY and haven’t been able to find good pizza around here. This pizza was absolutely delicious! I’m so happy I found this place!”
“Excellent food, service, with cozy large booths and darker lighting so you can’t see how many calories you’re consuming ;). The food was brought to the table in lightning speed, and the server was very friendly. The beef tacos, guacamole, guac salads, queso, refried beans, sour cream, salsa picante, and quesabirria all were very fresh and served hot unless it was a cold item of course. We went all out and ordered the fried ice cream & xango (fried cheesecake) for the grand finale, and both were equally delicious! Thanks 3 Reyes for a great 1st time experience, we will be back soon!”
“Excellent service, fresh and delicious seafood, stylish interior plus outdoor seating area - great place!”
“Sometimes you can know a restaurant by how they handle mistakes. Our waiter brought me the wrong order. Immediately the manager was there to apologize and to make it right. Even though it was a busy night the kitchen prioritized my order and brought it out immediately. The waiter was just new, and we all learn on the job. My sushi was extremely fresh and excellent.”
“Visiting the area on holiday with a group of friends and stopped in here for a glass of wine. Amazing cover band was playing and drinks were delicious. Really recommend especially for the great atmosphere”
“Great atmosphere and staff. And they generously host acoustic music jams weekly. I've been fortunate to meet and get to play with some excellent musicians. It makes the weekly drive down from Statesville worth the time.”

“I went to the buffet for military appreciation night and everything was perfect. Thank you very much. The only thing wrong was that I saw two of my relatives in there taking advantage of the free meal. They had never been in the military. It makes me sick to see lowlife scum of the earth dishonor vets like that. Please start making people show their credentials before serving them.”
“This place is great for lunch and dinner. Best wings I've had anywhere in the area. Service is always awesome. Sometimes they are busy, but always do their best to accommodate any requests. One of the most comprehensive selections of taps. Really great place! Sit in the bar area. Barbara is the best!”
“Nothing negative to say. The cocktails, appetizer and entrees were SPOT ON, The food and service was 5 stars. Diego was the most profession and comical server. We only live 2 miles away and have found a diamond in the rough. We will definitely make this spot our regular date night!!”
“I love my neighborhood Culver's in Mooresville (it's the closest to where I live). This restaurant has one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever eaten! Culver's is counter services but a step up from other chain fast food. This location is clean, with good service and excellent food. Kudos to the manager.”
“Happened by with a friend, usually it’s packed but today only a few cars so we went in. Staff friendly, we were seated pretty quickly. First impression was wow there’s a lot of choices here. Sushi looked great , I didn’t try it but my friend did, she said spot on! Tried the “choose your raw items and chef cooks it in front of you”. It was fun. Food all hot and tasty, staff accommodated our needs very well. Will come back as my family is coming from Vermont next week !”

“I was at this location. A lot of clients and only 3 employees running and working to meet all their clients needs. Jared is on top of everything. Very impressed by his customer service. He is just covering at this store now but still offering an excellent performance. I hope this review gives some insight to their managers and appreciate his hard work.”
“My server Monique was awesome . She knew the menu inside and out and had a great attitude. My service was efficient , fast , attentive and fun . You need to clone her.”
