50 Best American Restaurants in Mooresville

“Great experience with live performance and excellent staff“

“We've been to OT9 multiple times and it just seems to get better every time. Took the Mrs. To dinner on our 32nd anniversary and had a great experience. Greeted and seated promptly - server Justin provided great service while allowing us plenty of space to enjoy our date. Greeted us with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to celebrate the occasion. Food was, as always, outstanding. We split a beet/arugula salad that was generous enough for 4. We both enjoyed blackened halibut special and ordered waaaay too many sides. May have snuck in a cocktail or two before wine with dinner. Anyways, it was an outstanding dinner, great service and fun ambiance - we will be back!“

“Amazing and attentive staff“

“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.“

“I rarely ever do a review but this time I think it’s well deserved. My GF and I visited this weekend while boating on LKN. The atmosphere, cleanliness, wait staff, and scenery was great. Our food was delicious and I was wondering why we hadn’t tried this establishment in the past. Highly recommended in my book. Excellent job to the staff. Best sweet bbq wings I have ever tasted!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time visitor today. The Staff were most helpful. Ordered three subs to go. Excellent quality ingredients - Boars Head provisions - and great rolls. We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“First time visit. I’m not disappointed it will not be the last. The food was great… The prices was affordable, The staff was great…. All around 5stars. Only Negative is parking… but the walking atmosphere was pleasant.“

“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!!“

“Ate here for Father's Day for the first time and oh my gosh.. we loved it! We eat out alot and this is such a hidden gem in the area.. eggs Benedict was fantastic! Omelettes,pancakes and hash browns just as amazing.. staff was the most pleasant I've come across and the place is spotless. My new favorite place!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food. Good, friendly people. Great service“

“Great place for breakfast or lunch! Great food and exceptional service“

“the food is amazing. thank you for a fabulous restaurant near our home.“

“Great place delicious food fast and fresh food Great service delicious coffee“

“Wife and I for a date night. 7 pm on a Friday and they where busy. We where seated quickly and waitress got with us promptly. Gabriella was absolutely perfect. Food came out quick and hot. We had the chicken bites. All 4 flavors where great. We will be back again to try some burgers.“

“This place was nothing short but AMAZING. We were serviced by the bartender. She gave us all the info on the lunch specials. I enjoyed everything I ordered and I found my favorite craft beer!!! 5 stars!!!“

“Food was amazing, Hospitality definitely a 10. Our racing series met for pre season and they welcomed us right in. Waitress was amazing and the manager seen we were all taken care of. We definitely recommend and will be back for our 2026 season meeting.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Quality of food presentation and service has tremendously gone down hill at this place in the past year. Food given to us didnt taste good. Overcooked and fries were hard and cold. Would have easily been noticable but was carried out to our table anyways because that staff doesnt care. Ill drive my wife and kids to one outside of Mooresville. This place needs a Territory manager to show up without identifying themselves and grade the place and designate a proper manager that cares about service.“

“Awesome food, great people“

“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.“

“We had steak three different ways there. I had the ribeye, just regular with a baked potato and brussel sprouts. Son had a filet with shrimp, and daughter-in-law had steak with the parmesan cheese crust. All three of us enjoyed our meals. Hard to believe I'm saying this, but the best part of the whole meal was the brussel sprouts. They were amazing!
This is a chain restaurant, so there will be variations from restaurant to restaurant, but most things are the same. I have always found Longhorn to do steak really well, and their salads are nothing to sneer at either. Our service was good, and the price wasn't bad either. Would definitely go here again.“

“quick-service good food Pleasant atmosphere“
