Restaurants in Shelby

“I’m new to Shelby and have ordered from her a handful of times and have loved it every time. The staff are always so kind and I love the cute cozy atmosphere. Since this is a little over a mile from my home this will likely be my new favorite coffee shop. Definitely recommend you try it and hope you love it too.”

“This is the ONLY place I have been where I felt safe to eat! I have Celiac and the staff made sure I was given the options on what was safe me to eat and not be sick!! The food and service was absolutely amazing!! I will definitely be back soon!! Thank you for not making me feel like it was a guessing game”

“Absolutely did some plumbing work the kitchen is very clean employees are very presentable and friendly also there baked potato soup is 💯”

“Absolutely awesome. Price first.... pretty decent. The food, is great,b I've tried everything on the menu, and regret none of it. But the sweet tea is to die for. And the cute pocket size lady is amazing with kids. The whole staff is great with kids. P.s. They sing, the tall cook with the beard, will really send you back in time, down memory lane. Ask him to sing you a tune. He will”

“Momma J and the family at Jammin J's are absolutely amazing. Friendly, kind , and so incredibly generous.

The kindest people. The pizzas are amazingly good. Livermush is a Southern pork product made from pig liver, head parts, cornmeal, and spices. And they make a great livermush pizza. I had 5/6 slices of livermush on top of my 7 slices of their other pizzas they offer. Let's now talk about their delicious dessert pizzas. I had their cinnamon, their roasted coconut, their cherry, blueberry, apple, and peanut butter chocolate pizza slice. Let's just say I left full. The food was incredible, the hospitality even better.

Highly recommend the food, but I recommend stopping by and meeting the people more.”

“Really enjoyed my experience here. It has that comfortable, welcoming feel that makes you want to sit down, relax, and take your time. The food was good, the service was friendly, and everything felt like it was handled with care. I always appreciate local places that make you feel like a regular even when you're just stopping in. Definitely a place I'll be happy to come back to.”

“The street tacos were absolutely delicious! Homemade tortillas, fresh cilantro, and steak cooked perfectly. The salsa verde was vibrant and flavorful. We will definitely be back.”

“In town for work, I hadn’t had any North Carolina barbecue in such a long time that I thought I’d just try this place. I am so glad I did! Some of the best barbecue I’ve had in a long time. The sauce was amazing and the barbecue slaw is to die for!”

“Love the cheesesteak and homemade pasta salad...amazing!! I eat lunch here whenever I'm in Shelby. I've only ordered to-go, but the food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Staff is always friendly.”

“Man my respects to this place. I’m super picky with Mexican food because who cooks it better than your own mother right. This place is a whole other experience food is delicious the drink the music the people. I will say I’ve had plenty of drinks but not like the one I had here it was called Santo somthing just look at the picture lol but I recommend 100 percent the plates I posted also and the drink second time here and it’s just worth it”

“We actually live in Douglasville Georgia but found Pfieffers when we come to Shelby to visit family. We absolutely love it and Friday lunch is our first stop. My husband loves th Reuben and I love the cranberry chicken salad. I kidded our daughter that we couldn’t come out the week after Christmas because you are closed that week.”

“very decent people. I left my wallet in the restroom Sunday nite and forgot about it until Monday late afternoon. I called hoping and praying they found it.they had it up front at the register. I am so grateful for the boy's that work there. everything I own could of been lost because I lost that wallet.thank hoshi ..great food too.”

“The burger and fries were mid. The french fries are like McDonald’s french fries, And the burger tasted like it came out of the freezer not good. I don’t know if something changed. We love this restaurant. The burger was just not up to this restaurant standard. I highly recommend everything else on the menu! Overall, very satisfied, just disappointed in my burger.”

“Seasoned to perfection. Really enjoyed every bite.”

“We drove by this place for about 3 days before we realized it was a restaraunt. It looks like a veterinary or something. Not an eating place. But the food was superb.”

“Today, I went through the 7 brew drivethrough on my mattress. The workers were very working and spoke to me in a way that made me feel very spoken to. I asked them for a large order of cups, and they proceeded to hand me tickets to the movie, but not before they made sure to vacuum the ceiling and shampoo the wall. Very good. The coffee is very liquid and is definetly NOT sand, but the prices definetly require you to have money available to spend. Overall, this coffee shop is not a car dealership, so do not come here if you are expecting to buy a car, or a horse. You will not recieve an expensive alarm clock, and you definetly can not vote for the next president here, do not expect this.

Very good.”

“Good food, good price. I recommend Honey spicy chicken wings!

Kid-friendliness: They have kids plates aswell!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy ramp for wheelchairs to access!”

“The chicken wings are phenomenal and they have homemade seasoning on them everything is fresh made to order and the customer service is awesome. Don't miss this restaurant”

“The food is so yummy, fresh, served hot! The people are nice who work there as well.”

“I recently made a comment on Facebook about the cleaning of the griddle tops. The manager had replied and said he would make sure its corrected. He kept hus word. Several days later I came back and the griddles were normal. The food was so much better like what you'd expect. Thank you for listening to customer comments and actually doing something about the problem. The quality and taste was night and day. Keep up the good work”

“I’m from Orlando and I gave up on burger kings in Florida
The service and food is always terrible
This Burger King has redeemed my business
The customer service was incredible, beautiful Hispanic girl at drive thru. Very nice and polite
And the food is fresh as fresh gets
Thank you”

“Woman working inside was really rude and told me I wasn't suppose to be inside store that I needed to go through drive through that she don't know why the door was unlocked.”

“We love the food at Verona. We have tried the lasagna spaghetti and the all seasoned grilled chicken dinners. Great ! Friendly staff and owner is very nice”

“the salt and pepper catfish and shrimp 🍤 😋 😍 and flounder love it all it's cooked just right and you get your money's worth 😋”

“everyone's is very nice .”

“Am testifying of the miraculous work of a great traditional doctor called Dr MOMOH. I have been suffering from herpes since last 2 years with my wife but today I am happy that am cure from it with the herbal medicine made by Dr MOMOH the great healer, I was browsing the Internet searching for help when I came across a testimony shared by someone on how Dr MOMOH cure her from Herpes Disease. I quickly contacted him to get the cure and today I am now free from the Virus.”

“Absolutely the Best BBQ I have ever tasted! Pam was our waitress and she did a Awesome Job! Just County Folks. wonderful atmosphere also. You won't be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I had the best time at this shop. The ice cream was great but I'm obsessed with pickle food's and they had pickle popcorn. Wonderful girl helped us very sweet professional and we definitely will be going back again. Thank's”

“I love the southern home cooked meals they serve daily. It’s a great place to take the family. Pleasant atmosphere courteous waitress's who make you feel special as if you were dining at their home!”

“Great place to eat. I like their daily. The wait staff are friendly and very attentive. The food is always great and there are many options to choose from.

Dietary restrictions: There should be something available that everyone would be able to enjoy.

Parking: There are plenty of parking spots available.

Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is fully handicap accessible”

“Family tradition is always "Chinese" for dinner since we are all sick of turkey by then. We have been getting trays from Jade Express for 4 years now and everyone looks so forward to it, they start reminding(hounding) me to place the order in October..lol! Thank you Jade Express for always making our Holiday filled with Good Food and Good Cheer!”

“Loved Creekside. It is not fancy, and that is exactly the point. The welcome is real, the staff are wonderful, and the food is honest home Southern cooking at a fair price. Big portions, nothing fussy, everything good. If you want a place that treats you like a regular the first time you walk in, this is it. Highly recommend.”

“First time at Sumo Sushi & Hibachi and we had a really great experience!

It’s a smaller spot, but clearly very popular there were a lot of takeout orders coming in while we dined in, which says a lot about how busy they stay.

Our server Zo was amazing. Super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. She really made the experience even better hey Zo, you rock girl!

We ordered spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, and the Monica roll. Everything came out fresh and was really good. Only thing I was missing was a little chili oil for some extra heat, lol.

The only thing I would note is I wasn’t informed about a credit card fee before paying I may have missed it, but I did notice my total change when I went to sign and had to ask about it.

Overall, still a solid first visit and we’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.”

“I just stopped by the jive turkey cafe to try out breakfast and let me tell you, do yourself a favor and stop in and grab a bite, you won't regret it! my breakfast quesadilla is delicious! Don't sleep on this cafe because it is in the college, it is open to the public and the food is fantastic!”

“We had my son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner upstairs 3/26/26. We had the best experience with Kelly at Newgrass. She was so helpful with the whole process. The food was delicious and setting was casual and fun. 🙂 Thank you to Newgrass for making our weekend the best! ⭐️🌟”

“Love stopping in for a sweet treat! My favorites are the lemon bar, ooey gooey bar, and the cherry Sundrop cupcake. Today I tried something different the strawberry honey bun pound cake and pumpkin bar— looking forward to my next visit with a recommendation in mind!!

Staff are polite and the owner is friendly is well— I got to meet her parents on a previous visit and look for them when I return because they are a delight as well!

“Excellent menu good old down home cooking. I had the pull pork. Wife had the Reuben sandwich. She said it was the best reuben sandwich she had ever eaten food was excellent definitely eating here again 😁”

“Amazing prices on coffee if you just get a plain iced coffee, then you’ll pay like $2-4 more or less but cheaper than the chains on the highway, great local mom and pop shop, it’s easy to order at the window facing Marion St then on the other side is where you pay and get your items but be careful if you have a big truck the lane is kinda narrow for big trucks (ex. Dually) but amazing service and kudos to the youngsters working there.”

“This is our go-to place every Monday except for when they are closed or if something else is going on. They are just a little laid-back small town joint. Everyone who works there is always super nice. It can get a little crowded sometimes during lunch hour, but we always manage to find a spot. They also have a covered picnic area if you like to eat outside. Food is always delicious. The BBQ is the best in town (sorry to both Bridges lovers). Burgers are excellent, and so are the hot dogs. I highly recommend it. They only take cash, though, if you have never been.”

“It was like a home cooked meal made with love!”

“awesome protein shakes an great atmosphere”

“Came in on a Friday with a friend and had a genuinely great time. That bar they built is something else, creek rocks, blue streak running down the length of it, lights underneath. Really cool. Got the tiger chicken nachos and a burger, both were really good. Service was attentive without being in your face. Good music, cold drinks. Uptown Shelby needed a spot like this.”

“Great food !! Great staff !!”

“Wow! What a great hamburger. I have paid $15 for burgers that were not as good. It was cooked up fresh after I ordered it and was delicious. I could tell it is good quality hamburger meat. The fries were good also, they were large crinkle cut fries .And they were fried up fresh.. A friend told me about the lemonade and I tried it. It’s the best around and I even got a free refill. I love this place..A restaurant doesn’t have to be complicated to serve great food.”

“The Best Eggplant Parmesan that I have ever eaten, and the portions are huge ! You will not leave there hungry !!!!Better than any Italian Restaurant in Charlotte , unless this man owns the Restaurant! ❣️ I want to try everything on the menu, but I can’t let go of that Eggplant Parmesan , and the side of Spaghetti that comes with it ,you’ll just have to try it for yourself ! Love to ALL !”

“I loved this place! Lots of space. Music was a little to loud but it was not on the back side away from the music. The staff was amazing and so sweet to us all. I will definitely be coming back when we pick up our truck. Very clean and put together. Not gonna lie I was worried at first from the outside but it's amazing inside love it!”

“Amazing food”

“The best happy delicious pies in the whole southern region by good folks / organic farmers.”

“The food is really good, but I am thankful that I just didn't want onions on my sandwich and I am not allergic. I opened the sandwich and didn't see any, so took a bite. There were thin pieces of onion skin mixed in with the cheese in a way they can't be easily seen and picked off. Seemed almost like someone forgot and picked off what they could. Whatever happened, it clearly says no onion on the receipt. The fries were really good, though.”

“Amazing place to get pizza and sandwiches! We love their pizza but my husband’s favorite thing to get is the bbq sandwich because it’s absolutely delicious. I recommend Angelo’s Pizza to anyone looking for lunch or dinner! The best food and service every time”

“Need a bite at the mall? Check. Need drive through or curbside? Check. This is the most customer-friendly set up. Thank you Chick-fil-A at Cleveland Mall!”

“When I need to boost my entire day I just spend a minute in this sweet shop. From the customer service to the actual food there is no better experience. Period. The caramel crack cake is the most delicious thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. 11/10 place.”

“They have the best fruit ice cream with big pieces of fruit. The owners are great”

“We had a wedding rehearsal party at Mi Pueblito on Oct 30. The staff did an excellent job accomodating our 30 guests. Food was excellent. There was plenty, it was served hot and very tasty. We had our own room. Everyone was so helpful. Thank you for making this a very pleasant experience as mother of the groom. We will be back.”

“Friendly employees, variety of products, FABULOUS pizza!”

“I work in the mall and almost every employee at this location knows my order by heart. It's very impressive. They just see me walk in and immediately start making my sub. So I always try to tip due to this. Thanks girls for always doing such a good job!! My Buffalo chicken sub is always amazing!”

It's above average regular ol' Chinese food. It's not supposed to blow your mind. It's Chinese food, lol. Fair prices and good food.”

“Decided to give DQ another chance after years of not eating there due to food not being good. In drive thru about 20 min. Girl taking order couldn’t hear me well and I could not hear her. Lots of background noise. I ordered one hot dog with mayo, onions, chilli and slaw. It had mayo, mustard-I hate mustard, no onions-not a hot dog without onions,chili and slaw. Extremely disappointing after a long day at work to not get your food the way you want it. Can no one do their job?”

“Took my wife out for our anniversary at Ruby Tuesday’s on July 14th. I ordered 1/2 rack ribs with fries and she ordered a hamburger, two salad bars, and tea. The total bill including a tip was $50.00. The Berger and salad was good, but th ribs were tough and dry and possibly left over from earlier and warmed over. I have eaten ribs before at the same place and always good.”

“Today I called to see if they had any chocolate chip cookies which I love. The guy said no but he would bake me some and they would be ready by 3. I went in and they were so kind. The afternoon shift always is. They are SUPERB. The lady there,who is so friendky and wonderful, asked me if I was in a hurry and I said no. When my cookies cooled down she wrapped all 15 of them and brought them to me. I love the CUSTOMER SERVICE THE FOOD AND THE COOKIES!!!FABULOUS!?”

“The Applebee’s in Shelby, NC is always a solid place to stop in for a good meal and a great atmosphere. The staff here truly stands out — they’re friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. You can tell they take pride in taking care of their guests.

The food was decent and came out just the way we expected. Everything was hot, fresh, and served quickly, which is always appreciated when you’re out grabbing a bite with family or friends.

The environment inside is one of the best parts. It’s clean, comfortable, and has that relaxed vibe that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy your meal. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, dinner, or just a quick bite, it’s a dependable spot with great service and a pleasant atmosphere.”

“Woman working inside was really rude and told me I wasn't suppose to be inside store that I needed to go through drive through that she don't know why the door was unlocked.”

“Everything I get is good.I love the chocolate frozen drink& also any smoothie.My only issue is how the drive thru is made;it’s hard to get in and out of the parking lot& traffic is oftentimes wrapped around the building which makes for slow service.Im glad They always seem upbeat and polite to me when I order.”

The owners travel the globe to source the most delicious beans direct from farmers with heart and passion and build community with each. Stop in for the vibe and of course the coffee!”

“the best tamales since I moved from south texas!!!!!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“This place is amazing! I’m from Texas and this place has all the authentic snacks and desserts reminiscent of Hispanic culture found widely in the south west. The fresas con crema was $10 but it was a huge serving with plenty of strawberries and lots of crema. My wife got the tres leches in a cup and it tasted great, not mushy at all. Lastly, we got a concha and it was a pretty decent size and it was fresh despite us purchasing at the end of the day. All in all great place to try something different. Strongly recommend menu attached of some savory options too.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“awesome food! great service”

“We enjoyed a quick and delicious dinner here this evening! When we walked in, the workers behind the counter looked so exhausted and beat down. I wanted to go back there and give them all hugs and huge tips, if I had it like that. They're hard work paid off though, and despite being out of a couple things, it didn't affect how good and fresh everything tasted. We didn't even have to wait! Fellow Shelbians, please stop being haters!”

“Great food!”
