“We celebrated our anniversary recently at Webb. What a great meal and service. We loved the silent movies in the background and watching the hustling of the chefs and servers in the kitchen/prep area — yes, we were in the balcony. 😊 The duck cigars are a favorite so we had to have those. The sea bass cut “like butter” and the shrimp and grits were the best I’ve ever had. Coffees and a slice of their coconut cake topped off a wonderful meal. Thanks Garrett for the attention! Thanks Webb management for the little gift 😉“

“Kyle Fletcher’s has some of the best BBQ and wings anywhere in the Carolinas! Ask for “KELLY BROWN PRICING” and get the hookup.

Great food, great value, and a local business worth supporting.“

“This quaint restaurant located in a charming town..easy quick 5 minutes off the highway..2 minutes back on...soooo WORTH the stop. 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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🍻🍽️“

“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’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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Easy ordering process cookies are always good! This year I didn’t get my bday cookie 🍪!! The friendliness of the staff is hit or miss & I understand we all have bad days or circumstances beyond our control maybe even bad news on occasion, but at work you must learn how to leave it at the door! When a warm personal welcome is given and the cookie is nice & warm those are my fave visits they are the ones that keep me coming back! Make no mistake no one has gone out of their way to be rude or cold 🥶 it’s just written on the face or seen in the body language! My daughter is autistic so she def notices & always wants to make them feel better ❤‍🩹!“

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

“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“

“This place is so cute! We moved recently and have been trying to find a good ice cream spot. Met both owners, who are kind as can be! She told us all the cakes are made in house and I went with a triple chocolate cake sundae, that DIDNT disappoint. 100% best Ice cream in the area. Even had ice cream sundaes for my dogs. Highly recommend“
