50 Best American Restaurants near Mount Holly

“Finally made it here despite living nearby. Did not disappoint! Great burger & seasoned fries. I shall return!“

“The Holland was the perfect place for my sisters 60th Birthday. There is a beautiful upstairs space for private parties! Phon was so easy to work with and the food was incredible! A delicious selection of wines and appetizers! I would recommend this place to anyone for drinks, dinner and any kind of party! Thank you Phon! This wouldn't have happened without YOU!! ❤️“

“If you're a fan of classic comfort food, BrightStar is an absolute must-visit. Their burgers are simply outstanding—perfectly cooked with a juicy, flavorful patty that's always fresh and topped with just the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth cheese. The buns are soft and toasted to perfection, holding everything together while adding a nice little crunch.

But the real star of the show? The cheese tots. Crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, they’re smothered in a rich, cheesy goodness that makes every bite a little bit of heaven. It's the kind of side dish that could easily steal the spotlight from the burger, but together, they create the ultimate meal.

If you're in the mood for some seriously satisfying food, BrightStar delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Service was a bit slow, food came out lukewarm/cold. Coffee wasn't good. Wish people knew about water filters and making good coffee.
Bacon and hash browns were terrific. Eggs cold. French toast was great. Belgian waffle was overcooked and cold.
Server was pleasant. Breakfast served all day.
Diner atmosphere, nothing fancy.“

“I loved my lunch today! Not only is the food 5 stars and the service impeccable, shout out Avery but the atmosphere was lovely and very relaxing! Chef's kiss! 💋“

“Visiting Charlotte from New Hampshire, but had scouted out this place before we came. Interestingly enough, it appeared on the list of recommended places from our Airbnb hosts as well. We are very into the farm to table movement, big time Farmers market shoppers ourselves as well. The staff was very friendly, and more importantly, knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was excellent. They were very helpful in accommodating a honey allergy, even whipping up an alternative dressing for the salad we ordered. For the record, the kale salad we had was beyond exceptional. I am not exaggerating when I say that is was the best salad I have eaten in my 65 years! Recommended unconditionally. A must-stop for our next trip to Charlotte.“

“Chex grill and wings 🥇 Soon all over the world“

“Incredible food, history, atmosphere, art, music and service. Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time and best dining experience to be had in Charlotte period.“

“I had an amazing experience at Chex Grill & Wings in Mount Holly! The food was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned wings with a great variety of flavors to choose from. The fries were crispy, and the portions were generous. The staff was super friendly and made sure everything was just right. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend it to anyone craving great wings and comfort food.“

“The food was absolutely fantastic! Customer service there is unmatched! Best soul food in Gaston County! Recommend 5 ⭐️“

“Food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Owner personable and friendly. He made sure we were good! Can’t wait to bring back some of my friends to support him.“

“My friends and I visited last week and instantly fell in love with the Romeo and Katrina as well as their food. They were so hospitable and accommodating. Everything is made fresh and with love, even the juice was superb. We will be visiting again. The food was delicious“

“If you are looking for a neighborhood Bar and Grill, you found it. The food and drinks are great, the staff makes you feel that you belong. A must visit place.“

“the food and service are 100% worth it! the cafe is adorable and everyone is polite! 🩵“

“Overall great dining experience on an explorative family outing. The only consideration was the dessert. The Banana pudding while served up in a giant goblet of a dish was 95% cream whip. A great Banana pudding in most opinions should have either banana or cookie or both in every bite.“

“Had the chicken quesadilla and it was GREAT! Fast service and literally the BEST sweet tea! Looking forward to the next visit! Keep up the good work!“

“Amazing service and delicious food! 5/5“

“Hadn’t heard of this spot but in our travels back to Atlanta area we stopped for dinner. The worst part of the evening was what seemed to be the swap over from one set of wait staff to the next. We had drinks that were tasty, the ahi tuna bowl, the Aji chicken egg rolls as well as my first experience with sizzling jambalaya. Being a Cajun myself I was judging hard but they delivered a slightly tweaked version if jambalaya with the fajita cast iron pan coming out frying the crispy rice that leveled up the dish. Happy to see these are a couple of these spots. One in Chatty Tn will be a bit closer and hopefully they live up to Charlotte!“

“Recomiendo su variedad Realmente su sabor incomparable productos frescos, Sus helados muy deliciosos😋“

“Excellent service, friendly staff and great food.“

“This place is AWESOME! They have the best wings around here Try the Strawberry Hot, it’s so good The Gold Rush, Honey Gold, Cancun Ranch They are all delicious. The jalapeño poppers are as well. Great atmosphere and friendly staff Try it… you will go back again… and again!“

“Tried Chex Grill in Indian Trail today and let me just say… the food was SLAPPIN 😮‍🔥 But the real star? Rashad. Absolute top-tier human. There was a tiny “delay” with my jerk chicken sub because they were literally making the sauce fresh (which honestly just tells me everything I need to know). I wasn’t even bothered, but Rashad went out of his way to make sure I had food at the same time as my family and surprised me with a chicken, mushroom, and cheese sub (no clue the official name but BABYYYYY… it was BUSSIN). The kindness, the thoughtfulness, the vibes were unmatched. Food was amazing, service was superb, and it’s rare to see someone care that much these days. We’ll 100% be back. Rashad, you’re doing it right 👏🏽❤️“

“Suspiciously good food for a brewery. I don’t know why or how the food is so good, but it is. What’s even better is the service. We had Devin as a server, and he brought fine dining etiquette and service to a bar atmosphere. Haven’t even left the place and can’t wait to come back.“

“Great food and good atmosphere..“

“Cannot say enough great things about Tacos 4 Life Steele Creek! The food is delicious, the employees are so kind and attentive, and the service is quick! I go at least once a week, if not more! 10/10“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Mayworth Public House! The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of upscale and laid-back pub vibes, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and nights out. The menu features classic American favorites, and the rotating selection of local craft beers is a huge plus. We tried the parmesan truffle fries (crispy and full of flavor), the giant fish sandwich paired with a loaded baked potato, and the Brussels sprouts — everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to! 🍻🍽️“

“Came In and ordered livermush and cheese on toast. Side of cheese grits. My friend ordered the Tuesday turkey plate. It came with chicken dumpling soup. AMAZING! That soup is so good! Everything we had was absolutely delicious! The staff is super attentive And extremely polite. Very welcoming environment. Nice music. Great vibe! Hidden gem. I forgot how much I love this place!! Liver mush… crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. So good! Best grits around!“

“Great service and fantastic sandwiches.“

“My husband and I ate here on our lunch break. We didn't have to wait for a table. Once we sat down we were immediately served!! We've ate there before and have never had a bad experience. The food comes out hot and cooked to perfection!! If you want a good home cooked southern meal then stop by!“

“A little piece of Greek life With great taste“

“The chicken tenders and Mac cheese were simply delicious! Great service too! A food truck with quality and tasty options! 😋“

“Jersey chiming in,
I enjoy my hot off the grill Cheesesteak today at “Chucks Cheesesteak.” I won’t say it’s the best in CLT but it’s relatively good. It’s definitely a good steak sandwich on your day off. Yes, you need to walk this off until you release. The Food Truck scared me a bit, but I watched him while he prepared the food and he has a Grade A placard. It’s definitely not rushed so, get your car washed while your steak is freshly made.“

“Awesome experience at Kostas!“

“We love Stanley kitchen, we have been coming here for years. Staff is great and super friendly. A lot of options plus vegetarian. Food is great and always hot.“

“This soul food restaurant is awesome I enjoyed my meal I ate everything on my plate and it is so clean, the table the legs on the table the chairs, the shiny floors, the counter top by the drink machine mirror shine. I like to go to resturants and the food is good and the place is clean. Now the staff very nice and helpful I will travel to see them again, oh yeah the dessert i got cheesecake baby eat it slow or you will be buying another one. Enjoy your meal when you go and tell other people to support this black soul food restaurant. Peace everyone“

“I’d love to add an update to this review. I was able to speak with the owner regarding this review and I appreciate his time to hear the reason behind my 1⭐ during your busy morning. I accept your sincere apology for calling me a douche in your review. Hopefully in the future of possible bad reviews it can be handled over a phone call before quick judgement.

“I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich via DoorDash. When I received my order the sandwich was a total joke. There was barely any meat on it and a miniscule amount of cheese. About 1/4 of the roll had no meat on it at all. I called the restaurant to express my displeasure and was told to contact DoorDash! Well, lady, DoorDash didn't create this crap - YOU did!“

“I stopped by once and didn't know how to get back, I just knew the food would be good.
It was beyond what I hoped for. never tasted a steak so next to perfect, it made me shake the hand if the Chef. Host,Waiters, Mrs. Cleaning Lady...Best place in Gastonia all round. Had to give my first review for it. Thank You .“

“Amazing staff, awesome food, and great Sunday specials!!“
