Stop in and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!“

“Love The Summit! Great beer selection, chill vibes and love the music selection. If you don't like the music you're probably old and need to go home and watch your reruns of the Andy Griffin Show anyways. Service is great and the bartenders can lead you to whatever style you're into.“

“Wonderful tap room located in the heart of McAdenville aka Christmas town USA. Home of the Catawba River keeper offices. This tap room supports the River keeper's mission to protect our water resources. After all good beer needs clean water. Friendly folks, nice space some outdoor seating, dogs and kids welcome. Stop in for a pint after exploring the Christmas light, trails or in the warm months kayaking the Southfork.“

“I picked up my mom from CLT and I wanted a quaint little farm to table place... This was absolutely perfect. We sat outside in the back. They have a very unique decor inside and fun patio/outdoor entertainment area.The food and drinks were incredible.My mom got the seasonal dumplings 6 total, 3 of each type with a blonde local beer. Delicious!I got the seasonal winter gnocchi in a light sauce with the duck which is probably the best gnocchi I've ever had. Then, got the black pepper butter cream cake and it was good but more dense than expected. The most recommended and popular desert is the sticky toffee cake though.Parking: Parking is street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp to enter the restaurant.“

“Really nice, chilled out vibe, with tasty food (chicken tenders & spicy potato wedges) from the food truck on site. The beers were nice. We sat outdoors with our dog and enjoyed the music bingo (although the speaker had certainly seen better days! :)“

“On this gorgeous Good Friday, we came for early Easter brunch and everything was top notch!Two words: cannoli pancakes 5/5Thank me later!The breakfast tacos, sweet potato fries *drizzled with honey *, mimosa and blush (prosecco and strawberry puree) cocktails were all fantastic. The decor is charming, the place was hopping and our server was lightning quick. I am already looking forward to our next visit.“

There is a great off leash area if you want your pup to socialize.There are volleyball courts and pool tables, along with other fun games.Great place to catch a game!

“Update 02/12/24: (Takeout advice. See below). According to Google reviews, I posted the last update in 2022. Unfortunately, Google does not allow multiple reviews from a User so one has to update the initial review. Why this is is a bit of a mystery as one’s views can change over time.I’m happy to say that my opinions on Joey’s hasn’t really changed over time. They still serve the best Pizza in Denver, NC now that their main competitor, Pomodoros, closed. Pomodoros closed not because the food or service was lacking but simply because they could not staff their kitchen. What a terrible commentary on our time.So, where are we today? This update is simply to advise customers that if ordering takeout, no matter the time you specify for pickup or if just ordering ahead, arrive at least 10 minutes before the time you are told the food will be ready.Personally I try to get there a minimum of 15 minutes early and chill at the bar so I can get the food as it comes out of the kitchen. Trust me, if you arrive at the specified pickup time, your food has been cooling for 10 minutes, maybe more.I am not changing my rating but post this as an FYI for those who take heed of reviews.—/////——I’ve written about Joey’s before which would usually rate 4 stars from me. It is my family’s go-to place for pizza, specifically, Grandma’s pizza which is Detroit-style pizza, a rectangular, thick pizza with your choice of toppings, a goodly amount of cheese, and sauce. (Note, try to eat it fresh; it does not hold all that well overnight).But this review is not about the food tonight (skip down 3 paragraphs for why I am giving 5 stars this time) except to say we had the Amberjack special, a wrap, and the usual for my son, a chicken quesadilla.I don’t typically order fish when I go out and on the dinner menu at home, we were supposed to have salmon but Brian L talked me into trying the Amberjack. Go figure.Amberjack is a mild fish, often cut as a thick steak. Tonight’s serving was diced into large cubes with tri-color tortellini, spinach and a creamy garlic and Grand Marnier sauce. Very good so if you go sometime and see it as a dinner special, give it a try.But, I am burying the lead. Tonight’s 5-star rating goes to Brian. This guy is from Brooklyn, Italian, and maybe the best waiter in Denver.Why? He’s engaging, does a great job of explaining dishes, entertainingly served up by his Brooklyn accent, and most importantly, he dutifully clears away empty dishes and the usual litter of stuff from a meal (paper straw sleeves, etc.) WITHOUT being asked.This bears repeating and LISTEN UP every single other server in my little village of Denver, NC: Your normal duty as a server should always include taking away the empty plates and other detritus of a meal. Allowing all this stuff to just pile up and clutter the table during and after the meal is annoying to many and directly impacts my tip to you. Failing in this very traditional act of serving, you are failing as a good server.In my experience, there are a lot of just ok servers in Denver, poorly trained and lacking anything like a professional demeanor. Sure, we have many friendly servers, but very, very few really good ones. And what separates the professional from the friendly are really taking care of your customers which always includes clearing away the table. It is a very small but crucial step, ignored by too many unless asked.I start at 20% and either deduct or add to the tip depending on the overall experience. I am happy to report that Brian’s tip went north.Well done, Brian.“
