“My server Monique was awesome . She knew the menu inside and out and had a great attitude. My service was efficient , fast , attentive and fun . You need to clone her.”
“Nothing negative to say. The cocktails, appetizer and entrees were SPOT ON, The food and service was 5 stars. Diego was the most profession and comical server. We only live 2 miles away and have found a diamond in the rough. We will definitely make this spot our regular date night!!”
“Our waitress Rachel was so friendly and genuine in her conversation. We didn't feel like just another table to be served. There was a teen birthday party near us and the place was hopping on a beautiful day in the 70's so it was pretty loud. Padded buffers inside the booths would likely help with this. They were out of the first2 things we tried to order so that was disappointing. We were seated at 1:15 so you might want to get there earlier for access to full menu. It's good to know if you have someone with mobility challenges: there were 2 handicap spaces fairly close to the front but all others were abit away. There is no way to drop off an elderly person fairly close to the door. Options are either quite a few stairs OR a long ramp. If there are other options, I didn't see it. The food was fresh and delicious and the menu was creative and thoughtful as compared to other places in the area. We were celebrating a birthday and received a thoughtful card but no discount or free dessert as with other places. Brunch specials change each week and they all sounded good.”
“SO GOOD. Pineapple paloma was a delicious in cocktail to start the night. I wanted one of everything on the menu but we shared burrata, deviled eggs, pork belly buns and Brussels. holy cow everything was AMAZING. service was fantastic. Jovian was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly but not overbearing. we will definitely be back!”
“We come from New York and lived in Boca Raton and have now lived in Cornelius for four years and the food here in North Carolina is horrible to say the least! Acqua Ragazza is finally a place where you can find an excellent dining experience! The only downfall is that the prices are a bit high for the area where it is located and to add insult to injury when we asked for additional bread, they charged us a whopping four dollars which after what we were charged for the meal was shocking to say the least! Aside from that unless you either live in The Point in Mooresville or The Peninsula in Cornelius, very few people in this area will be able to afford the prices! Just a Point to Ponder for Management!”

“Hoptown has the absolute BEST staff! We are always greeted with smiles & kind words. There's a huge variety of beers & some cocktails to select from. There is always something fun to do from Singo to Trivia, live bands or markets you'll never be bored. Hoptown frequently has a great food truck rotation & if the food truck isn't your cup of tea Brooklyn Boys pizza delivers. There's also a wonderful little area to celebrate events. I have personally never had a party here but I've seen some beautiful baby showers & birthdays. If you haven't tried Hoptown you're missing out!”
“I was on vacation with 3 other couples. we had a reservation on 8/22/25. Our server "Q" was great and did a wonderful job going over the specials and recommendations. The french onion soup was delicious. I am typically not a steak person, but decided to try the petite filet with garlic butter and the baked potato. It was phenomenal and I was very pleased with my choice. others got the ribs, lamb, lobster bisque, a plethora of sides, cheescake and lava cake....nothing was less than delicious. Bonus, I got engaged here as well”

“So, if you think you’ve eaten cookies, you haven’t. I’m kinda frustrated with Red’s because I will never enjoy another cookie the same way again. They are crispy and moist. They are unique and classic. They even taste fresh the next day! I was given a flavor I don’t even like and now I think it’s my new favorite. Who needs healthy blood sugar levels when you can eat a cookie from Red’s?”

“NC Donut Star is simply the Best! A coworker turned me onto theDonut Star and I have to fight the urge to go there sometimes because I battle with my weight. The donuts are light and fluffy. They are so soft and delicious. I am going to the beach today and I am going to pick up an assortment so my mom can try them. I have raved about this place and she is curious as to see what they taste like. I am sure that she will be delighted as I am. The store is clean and it is a great environment. All of the donuts in the case look so inviting that it is hard to choose what little beauty you will pick out. I am impressed! I highly recommend checking them out. Krispy Kreme Who? yeah, I said that.”

“Our first experience with Playa Bowls was at this location this afternoon for lunch. Gianna seemed to be working by herself when we walked in and there was not only a line waiting to order, but people waiting for their orders. To add to the chaos, it looked like mobile orders kept popping through too. After overhearing a conversation with a coworker on the phone, she was overwhelmed but had the coolest head and was still very kind. The wait was obviously longer than you’d expect, but we walked into it and had that expectation from the get-go so it was no issue for us. In case she had a rough day today, I hope she knows she handled the situation, the sudden rush, really well! The Pura Vida and Power bowls were delicious!”
“Delicious beers, fun atmosphere, so many events to enjoy including yummy food trucks!”
“Service and food were all outstanding. Your host, Paige, went the extra mile to make special arrangements for our birthday cake. She allowed me to drop it by the restaurant early so my wife could be surprised. The cake was fragile - Paige made sure it was kept safe. She took photos of our party for us while our server Lauren brought out the cake with a candle! BTW, the appetizers and drinks were outstanding too. We had a great time and will be back soon.”

“Incredible! So many gluten free options, marked clearly on the menu. And FANTASTIC gluten free key lime pie! The owner, Nelson, made sure we knew how much they cared about making an affordable and safe GF dining experience. Loved the ambience and the food; the burger was one of the best I've ever had and the gf bun was soooo fluffy! They give you a FREE cookie at the end and the gf cookie was actually soft and not crumbly. I cried a little I was so excited. I will be back!”

“My friends at taqueria Guerrero always make sure to take care of us! We always order al pastor, our favorite dish. Being from the westcoast, frequently being a traveler to tijuana for their taco experience, I have to say myself this is as close to Mexico and California food there is”
“This is the second year we hosted our neighborhood holiday party at Shoals Grill. They have updated the private party room which was a nice surprise. We had a group of 50 people and the service and food was great. Andrew, the event manager, and our bartender were very accommodating and responsive to our needs. We look forward to hosting our party again there in 2025.”
“We just found our new favorite spot! The food was absolutely amazing, huge portions packed with flavor. The margaritas were out of this world, not only delicious but beautifully garnished. Our server, Santiago, was phenomenal. Every single recommendation he gave us, we tried, and he was spot on every time. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes and we laughed the entire time we were there. Everything was absolute perfection from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back!”
“We recently had Mi Amichi cater a dinner for our daughter's wedding - cannot tell you how many guests raved about the food and the service on site! The meal was fantastic and the portions very generous. Genuine Italian, nothing commercial. Working with them to arrange the catering was a breeze. Can't say enough about this place. Rare to get tis kind of quality nowadays. To Nick and the staff at Mi Amichi - THANK YOU!”
“I go often because the food is soooo good- sandwiches are excellent. I love the Brewer Special! And the pizza is always great. My favorite is the Pollo Picante. The staff has only ever been friendly and professional- a lot of young people working hard and having fun.”
“Pho was tasty, but broth was luke warm. When we went to the counter the people greeting us had the personally of a thumbtack, served its purpose, but be cautious it could poke you.
The part could be me just being old, but I didn't want to pay the up charge when you order through doordash so I called to place an order for pick up and was told I had to go through the web site. Maybe this was just the tack poking me, but why can't you just take an order??? Are we now so out of touch that we must do everything through any way that ensures we don't actually have to talk to a human. Again - Maybe I'm just old.”
“Our waiter, Julian, was outstanding. Friendly, on top of everything, and just a great server. My girlfriend and I split the pasta Rosa with pancetta and peas and a Caesar salad. My husband had the lasagna and our friend enjoyed his salad and a bowl of pasta. Delicious food and a popular spot in spite of the fact that they don't advertise. Everything is made to order and homemade. Definitely will return. Put it on your list of places to try.”
“never disappointed. food is always great and service is top notch”
“A solid four and a half stars.
The wait was reasonable. The food had good flavor, though my green beans were cold and steak was luke warm (the reason for not a five-star experience). The service was also good.
Full disclosure, the water tasted awful!! Order a beer, cocktail, iced tea or something, anything.”

“3-2025 This is our second year using the conference room @Performance Coffee for our Greeter's Team Training Conference. Jeff is so accommodating & willing to work with any group with the Conference Room having a big screen & wifi. We enjoy their Coffee, drinks & pasteries. Thank You Jeff & Staff for allowing us to feel right at home! Cindy Washam, Pastor @Kristina Gibbons, @Lake City Celebrate Recovery.”
“Had a baby reveal and double birthday celebration.. I had specific idea for a cake for expecting sisters..Rachel did an edible image I provided and decorated just as I had requested..PERFECTION!! And this was by far THE BEST marble cake I have ever eaten. Beyond moist and amazing icing!!! I also had 40 mini cupcakes a mix of 4 flavors (lemon, strawberry, red velvet and carrot) and I cannot tell you which was better…all the best yummy representation of their flavor!!! I am a cake junkie..I live for cake. My last meal request would be cake..and it would have to be made by Rachel! 11/10!!!! Such an amazing job! Happy me!”
“Excellent food, service, with cozy large booths and darker lighting so you can’t see how many calories you’re consuming ;). The food was brought to the table in lightning speed, and the server was very friendly. The beef tacos, guacamole, guac salads, queso, refried beans, sour cream, salsa picante, and quesabirria all were very fresh and served hot unless it was a cold item of course. We went all out and ordered the fried ice cream & xango (fried cheesecake) for the grand finale, and both were equally delicious! Thanks 3 Reyes for a great 1st time experience, we will be back soon!”

“Zander’s Bistro is hands down our go-to spot for their incredible breakfast sandwiches. They’re the only place we’ve found that makes them like back home in New York. The bread is spot-on, the bacon is crispy, the eggs are cooked perfectly, and the cheese just melts right in. It’s the real deal, no shortcuts. If you’ve been searching for that authentic NY-style breakfast sandwich,look no further. Zander’s nails it every time. Friendly staff, great vibes, and food that hits the spot. Highly recommend!”
“I just left this place and I bought two things, one smoothie and one bowl. I had to drink the smoothie because I didn't realize I'm going to be stuck in this freaking terrible traffic. Good God Mooresville! I'm from Charlotte and I feel like this would be equivalent to me being stuck on WT Harris for an hour! But the smoothie that I got was so darn good I forgot all about being angry in traffic lol. What I like about this place vs others, the flavor combos were very good. The smoothie has a great texture vs your typical icy texture with fillers and probably powders. This place tastes like the real fruits and they seem generous with it too! I'll definitely be back!”

“We had the opportunity to celebrate my brother’s birthday at Flock. The team at Flock. is top notch. The service, the food, the atmosphere was all wonderful. We had a variety of food and everything was terrific. I cannot recommend this enough!”
“We have lived in Mooresville for 34 years. This is only our third trip to Big Daddy's. The first time was so long ago I don't remember it. Everytime we go the food gets better and better. If you love seafood but not necessarily the beach, this is the place to eat!!! It is better than any beach restaurants.”

“This is by no means a fast food restaurant.. IT IS a delightful cafe to have a spot of lunch in a nice setting in the heart of mooresville. The menu is simple and delicious and the soups are amazing! The very best I’ve had is the mushroom bisque and also the carrot bisque. Take a minute to truly enjoy this gem of a place. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a wonderful lunch. 10/10 Dulcet and delish!”
“I love Buckos fish Friday. So today I had my fish sandwich turned into a wrap to lose some bread. Light lettuce and light tartar. It was the bomb!! Lettuce added a little extra crunch and Buckos tangy tartar set it off in that wrap. It was a big flounder burrito. Will be my go to when I want fish now !!! Thank you guys for always making food hot, fresh and amazingly tasty!!”
“This is definitely the best Chinese spot in town, just like some of the other reviews have mentioned. If you’re looking for great flavor, generous portions, and fair prices, China 2 delivers all that and more.
I ordered two sesame chicken combos—one without sesame seeds—and swapped the rice for lo mein for just a $2 upcharge. Each combo came with an egg roll and a sweet tea, making it a complete and satisfying meal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and both the lo mein and egg roll were delicious.
At $10 per combo, the price is more than worth it, especially considering the portion size. You really get your money’s worth here.
If you’re in the area and craving Chinese, I highly recommend giving China 2 a try. As I always say, finding a good Chinese spot is a must, and this one checks all the boxes.”
“Just ordered pizza for the first time from Hawthornes. I’m from NY and haven’t been able to find good pizza around here. This pizza was absolutely delicious! I’m so happy I found this place!”
“This place was nothing short but AMAZING. We were serviced by the bartender. She gave us all the info on the lunch specials. I enjoyed everything I ordered and I found my favorite craft beer!!! 5 stars!!!”
“We always enjoy our experience at Jeffrey’s. The food is delicious and the service is great. Everyone is so friendly from the minute you walk in the door. Our server tonight was Stacy. She was super friendly and pleasant. And once again, our meal was delicious.”
“Excellent service, fresh and delicious seafood, stylish interior plus outdoor seating area - great place!”
“Upon arrival, I realized I had accidentally ordered from a different location. The employees here were extremely kind and helpful and took care of my order with no extra charge. The food was excellent as well. I highly recommend this location!”
“Stacy, Logan, and the entire team at Overflow LKN were amazing! We couldn’t have found a better place for our event. They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and made everything so easy and enjoyable. The space was perfect, and their attention to detail was outstanding. Everyone had a great time—we’re so grateful for all they did to make it such a special day!”

“I went to the buffet for military appreciation night and everything was perfect. Thank you very much. The only thing wrong was that I saw two of my relatives in there taking advantage of the free meal. They had never been in the military. It makes me sick to see lowlife scum of the earth dishonor vets like that. Please start making people show their credentials before serving them.”
“This place is great for lunch and dinner. Best wings I've had anywhere in the area. Service is always awesome. Sometimes they are busy, but always do their best to accommodate any requests. One of the most comprehensive selections of taps. Really great place! Sit in the bar area. Barbara is the best!”
“Nothing negative to say. The cocktails, appetizer and entrees were SPOT ON, The food and service was 5 stars. Diego was the most profession and comical server. We only live 2 miles away and have found a diamond in the rough. We will definitely make this spot our regular date night!!”
“I love my neighborhood Culver's in Mooresville (it's the closest to where I live). This restaurant has one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever eaten! Culver's is counter services but a step up from other chain fast food. This location is clean, with good service and excellent food. Kudos to the manager.”
“Happened by with a friend, usually it’s packed but today only a few cars so we went in. Staff friendly, we were seated pretty quickly. First impression was wow there’s a lot of choices here. Sushi looked great , I didn’t try it but my friend did, she said spot on! Tried the “choose your raw items and chef cooks it in front of you”. It was fun. Food all hot and tasty, staff accommodated our needs very well. Will come back as my family is coming from Vermont next week !”
