“Great experience with live performance and excellent staff“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Great place to eat. Food is good and the atmosphere is very inviting. Our waitress Maria Sofia is great 👍. Makes it worth coming“

“This was our first visit. Staff were very friendly, service was efficient, and food was hot and fresh! We will definitely go back again.“

“First time here and at first glance we thought this place was misleading (it’s inside a Raw Bar). This place was awesome. The service was amazing and the food was top notch. We had the calamari that had a balsamic glaze which I have never had in calamari before but to my surprise it was amazingly delicious. Next I had the salmon. If you are not a mushroom lover I would not recommend but since I am it was sooooo delish. The salmon melted like butter. The green beans were also cooked to perfection. My favorite part of the whole night was the crème brûlée….honnneeyyyyy it was out of this world. I wish it came in a large size(that’s cause I’m greedy but it was oh so good!! The wine selection and drinks were also very good. Overall, we had an excellent night. I would recommend this place 👍🏽 we will be going back soon.“

“Friendly staff and great food!“

“Wow! My hunt for the best Smash Burger in North Carolina has ended. Monday night is half price smash burgers , the freedom burger is my favorite, and they donate $1for each burger sold to the Freedom Fund which helps veterans tremendously !

They are giving away prizes each quarter of the game and a lucky guest will win free wings for a year, and wow the wings are phenomenal. The service is consistently excellent, and they have food and drink specials , and an excellent draft beer selection. What an amazing dining destination!

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“Awesome venue for live music and great staff and management!“

“Food was decent, eggs overcooked on an omelet otherwise was good. The wait was minimal but got busy close to 10:30am with others waiting for tables to open. The atmosphere was nice but was very loud with no sound dampening, we couldn't hear each other talking and asked each to repeat what one said. Price was fair for quality and quantity. Would I return? Maybe as long as it wasn't on a busy morning and definitely would get something that's not egg related. Service she would check on us when possible due to low staffing for how busy they were. We waited for about 5 to 10 mins to get our check to leave because we kept trying to find her to make eye contact with.“

“First time there and we had the gyro, pork souvlaki and baklava. Absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“It’s a yes for me! True convenience for anyone on-the-go and needs healthy food choices.“

“I came with my 3 sons for his birthday our server was Named Sylvia and she was Amazing 🤩 from the time we sat down she was so attentive and made us all feel so much love.She was such a sweetheart and we all felt at home.If you ever go please ask for Sylvia you won’t be disappointed“

“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.“

“Love this bar! It's been my home bar for years!! Bar staff is amazing so is the new owner!! Will always love Katie's personality, Farrahs speed, Lexi's lemon drops, Courtney attentiveness, Angela's jokes. Will always come here and will always support local.“

“Fabulous food and service. 1st time there. we will be back. expecting regular bar food but there's has a special twist. check out the menu.“

“I have been here before but it has been quite a while but this was the first time bringing my mom. Very fun decor (nascar and football themed) We sat inside the bus located inside the restaurant which had little mini TV’s playing kids movies. Very fun. I ordered the BBQ plate which included 2 sides (Mac-n-cheese & baked beans) not your typical Mac-n-cheese - like curly pasta noodles and white cheddar cheese. Baked beans with yummy with onions & bits of bbq in them. The flavor of the BBQ sauce is good. I’m not a vinegar based girl so it was nice to have another option to dip my BBQ in. Husband said the ribs were seasoned well & not dry. Waitress was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Healthy food that actually tastes good! Variety of options that everyone in the family can enjoy! Highly recommend!“

“Passing through town on a bar hop from Chicago going to Fort Lauderdale, Florida googled biker bar with good food near me going down HWY 77 and iron thunder was the first one to pop up. Pulled in there had a couple drinks &chicken Philly. This place is definitely cool. I could see it’s a happening place when they’re doing something. Bar-mid was notch. Food was delicious. Beer was cold. Everything you need . Cheers!“

“Tough one here. Overall experience and feeling when leaving was great but the way it got there wasn’t ideal. We ordered two ribeye steaks and one was grey and the other extremely undercooked. BUT the waitress had her team lead come over and he handled it better than any restaurant manager I’ve ever had to speak to. Completely apologetic and very personable and he had the chef get some new steaks and he brought them out very quickly. He stood and made sure they were cooked correctly and To our surprise he even comped the steak. Truly a professional and very good with people. We were not expecting any discount whatsoever and so that was a happy surprise that will bring us back again.“

“First time going there. I had a great time. The food was delicious. The staff was really nice. Its ON the Lake. And there was a very GOOD band playing, Tim Elliott Band! Enjoyed the night & the experience Alot!! Definitely will be back“

“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.“

“My husband and I stopped here to grab brunch on August 1, 2025. Hubby had the big steak omelet with pancakes. I had the sirloin tips & eggs with crispy potatoes and subbed in a slice of french toast instead of getting the pancakes. Our food came out fairly quickly. Everything was cooked to our liking and hot. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were tidy. The best part of our visit was our waitress, Liberty. Liberty was so pleasant and attentive. She was an absolute breath of fresh air. I noticed how well she took care of all of her tables. She was kind and attentive. She does her job quickly and efficiently, most importantly, with a smile and the best attitude. She was even kind enough to listen to me ramble on about couponing. Lol I highly recommend visiting this Ihop if you happen to be in the area. Hopefully, you'll be as blessed as we were to receive such outstanding service.“

“Awesome food, great people“

“My girls enjoy the atmosphere.“
