Soooo fresh, large portions, the Ruben and Chicken salad are some of the best we have had. The staff were Hometown friendly..great atmosphere with a beautiful lake view to sit outside if you choose. Coffee was great- try their roasted Brainstorm!! And to boot they are part of a non-profit group called HOLY ANGELS supporting and providing employment opportunities for the differently able. loved it all!“

“I’m from NYC & lived 12 years in Atlantic City, NJ.. This is my favorite Pizza joint. I have been coming here at least once a week since they opened their doors. The best authentic Italian food and gives NY pizzerias a run for their money!“

“This place was amazing for our family of 4 coming back from the Shelby Corn Maze back to Belmont. Tons of games for the kids….amazing music, food was perfect and the beers were fantastic. Hidden gem of Gastonia for sure. Will be back!!!“

“What a hidden gem! Great food and an amazing wine list. Prices are very reasonable too. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great community and fellowship“

“The vibe here is amazing! I love a double entendre so walking in to see a sign that says “meat here” with a giant arrow instantly gives me the giggles! The multicolored decor and cool artwork made it hard to do anything but keep smiling. As soon as we’re seated our waitress says “I love your earring and all your jewlery” and I was smitten. I took my jacket off right as she was brining our food. “I love your tattoos” she says and I’m falling in love with this place. The cheesin steak sandwich is smothered in cheese, the wings are crispy, our appetizers came out fast and hot, and the atmosphere was great. I was having such a good time I didn’t even mind the watered down, chunkless blu cheese. You won’t either I promise! My husband and friends notified the waitress it was my 29th birthday to which she replied “29 would have never guessed your 29!” and I’m a little shocked. The thing is it was 13th 29th birthday so I reply “ and how old did you think I was?” I’m expecting a 35 or 36…. She says “24!” I laughed so much and said “I’m actually 42” and it was her turn to be shocked. She actually insisted I pull out my ID and that’s when I knew this lunch date was a Flirtatious Fork 5 star “Marry Me” good! ❤️ the food, the vibe, the service, the drinks (get the emerald godness, it’s amazing!) 💔 having to leave and knowing there isn’t a groovy beast near me! If im ever in Gastonia again I’ll go back!“

“Mamacita’s tacos are amazing! They’re always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Go see about them tacos!“

“Had a late breakfast there this morning! Everything was hot and delicious!!! Grits were perfect and the croissant was amazing!!! Everyone was so nice and helpful! 10 out of 10!!!“

“Enjoyed the Experience. Food and Spicy Bloody Mary.“

“We love love love Lake Norman Brewery! It’s always lots of fun and the music is usually great! Love the ciders….delicious! One thing I don’t like about it….you can never sit at a table. We used to get there 6-6:30 ish and there were usually tables to sit at. Now….they’re ALL reserved! Last night we got there at 6:25 and there were no tables available. They ALL had reserved signs on them. If you’re going to reserve them , there should be a few left over for us folks that wander in…spur of the moment! Just sayin………. We came after dinner last night with our company and didn’t bring chairs…….it was a bummer!🍻“

“I recommend them for everything food’s good and the service is great. They know what they’re doing and also it’s not that expensive either and it’s in a good location.“

“Great service and flavor!“

“This is place is a true jewel. One of the only BBQ joints within hundreds of miles that smokes meat right! No wood fired gas appliances in this restaurant! Only wish I have is to leave some of the tasty bark in your chopped pork, please. Also eastern style sauce should have some pepper seeds in it for that extra Pop..“

“Been a customer for over a year. Friendly, articulate staff, good pricing, quick service, and great coffee. Highly recommend!“

“Grat food-great people-great service- Lee Johson-grat manger-always on top of everything in restaurant“

“We enjoyed our 'dinner' at STATION after going through the Belmont Farmer's market. The food was really good, and fairly fast getting served. You do wait in line a bit to place your order depending upon how busy they are. They are open just limited days and not open until 5 PM then. But everything was really good.“

“Took Max for the first time today, he loved it! Plenty of friendly regulars (both human and pup) to get him settled in, we’ll be coming back for sure!“

“Very good food changed my life“

“Love the quiet vibe and the food was very tasty. Has the turkey sandwich with fruits as a side, which I must say was a breath of fresh air from the typical sides offered in America consisting of various types of fries. A little cup of assorted fruits hits the spot.“

“Antonie, was fantastic! Best waiter we've had in a while! 100000% recommended seating in his section!“

“I ordered a banana split cake from them. That is hands down the best cake I have ever had. I have tried almost every one they put in the display case. would definitely recommend“

“Good coffee! Really enjoyed the lattes. My favorite is the sugar daddy.“

“Support local & enjoy the best in Gaston County! 🌮🌯🥑“

“BSF crafted a superb meal with a diverse selection of meal offerings for the Global Leadership Summit Team. We will definitely come again.“

“Excellent place - great look, feel love the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire port“

“celebrated my daughters 13th birthday here tonight and we had the best time! The staff were all so sweet and helpful! They took care of serving our food and even cutting the cake for us and passing it out. They also packed up the rest of the food and cake for us to take home! It was nice to be able to hang out and talk to everyone without having to worry about those little things! Thank yall for a great night!“

“Our first visit was today. The food was amazing and the Manager that was working the afternoon was amazing. The Manager stepped up and came our waitress she filled our drinks and brought our bill. Our Waitress we had was horrible she never once refilled our drinks. She only took our order and delivered it to us. We did leave a tip which should go to the Manager. We will visit again just hope we have a different waitress.“

“We’ve been to Traust twice now for karaoke nights, both times were great!! We had a birthday dinner there with about 25 people in our party, and Megan held it down!! She did awesome at keeping everyone’s drinks full and taking orders as people rolled in. She was attentive and friendly. Last night there was some drama with a strange man dancing around and trying to talk to our kids. Once I mentioned it to our server, she and several other staff members IMMEDIATELY ran this guy off. They do NOT play when it comes to child safety.“

“Delicious and the staff were working nonstop!“

“Friends and I met here for Brunch on Saturday ! We were very impressed with everything, Food, Service, EVERYTHING !! THANK YOU !“

“Great service full of recommendations on different brews“

“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!“

“Great people, very clean n neat,wonderful food all around great experience!!“

“My husband ordered from here again because of the snow and we weren’t up to cooking. I wasn’t thrilled because of our last few times being a disappointment. I’m not sure if they read my review before but the food was really great today! Everything was fresh and it tasted wonderful!“

“nice family run with good take out. No indoor dining“
