“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!”

“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.”

“I love everything! I love you Macha B&K Tea Cafe!”

“We stopped by on our way to South Carolina and this place is incredible! The cruffins are the best pastry I’ve ever had and the almond croissant was tasty as well! I just wish I didn’t live 1.5 hours away but it’s probably for the best 😅”

“Amazing donuts and amazing people! The donuts are always so fresh and I just love doing custom orders with this team. Thank you!”

“Had our anniversary dinner at Table 31 tonight. We had the deviled eggs, salmon and parmesan crusted chicken. The food and service were amazing. Thank you to the chef and staff for a very special experience. We will be back!”

“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!”

“Man had a great birthday dinner and the atmosphere was relaxing so relaxing that I overheard a group celebrating 🎉 a birthday next to me and went over and met a bd brother lol but na it was very cool and oooh let me not forget the WINE WALL now I’m a New Yorker and I’m telling you, that wall took me back to the city. Hands down best chicken I’ve had at any place in Greensboro and that’s no knock on B.C. Or any other spots but simply phenomenal… Thanks for making my bd dinner a special one to remember ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Great Food and awesome people!”

“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!”

“10 out of 10 really recommend”

“This is my favorite Mexican food in the area. Ingredients are so fresh, they have classic dishes you would expect and some that are a little different. Did not expect such a great restaurant next to the gas station, but this one should not be missed.”

“If you’re anywhere near Mooresville and craving Mexican food, RUN (don’t walk) to Casa Azteca 🌮🔥 From the second we walked in, the vibe was electric. The staff greeted us like we were long-lost family and the service never slowed down all night. Drinks stayed full, chips kept magically reappearing, and every single person working there looked like they genuinely loved being part of the party. Now let’s talk FOOD 🤤 Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and ridiculously flavorful. You know that moment when everyone at the table goes quiet because they’re too busy eating? Yeah… that happened. Every bite tasted like it was made with pride and love. It wasn’t just a meal — it was a full experience. But the REAL showstopper? 🎉🎂 The birthday celebrations. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the BEST restaurant birthday celebration I’ve ever seen. The music, the energy, the excitement — the entire restaurant turns into a fiesta. You can’t help but smile, laugh, and cheer along even if it’s not your birthday. It instantly turns dinner into a memory. This place isn’t just a restaurant — it’s dinner + entertainment + joy all rolled into one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We came hungry and left happy, full, and already planning our next visit. If you want amazing food, top-tier service, and a guaranteed good time, Casa Azteca is the move. 💃🌯✨”

“Amazing cocktail bar with the best service!”

“Oh my! I had two asada tacos and a cabeza (head) taco! They were amazing! This has been the best tasting most authentic flavor I have found! It brought back memories! Growing up my mom would make cabeza tacos. The tacos are regular size with plenty of meat! The green salsa is a little spicy not much maybe a 3 of 10 but that is so subjective. The (toreado)grilled serrano provides just enough heat to enjoy with the tacos. I'll be going back to try many other items. The torta I'm sure will be delightful with the type of flavor the meat has as well as the birria tacos and the lengua (tongue). I'll have to update this post once I have those other items. Thank you for great tasting mexican food! The ladies working were very nice as well.”

“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 visited the new location on S. Tryon. First time visiting with a party of 16 and the experience was amazing! From host, manager, waitress Nicole everyone was awesome! The food and drinks were good. What a great way to celebrate my birthday!”

“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!”

“10/10 always good! Best banh mi in town for sure the other places just don't compare! Pho on point as always!! highly recommend”

“Enjoyed dinner with the family at Novanta before heading into Charlotte for a show. Sat in our usual section because Tammy is the server. Enjoyed awesome pizza served 5 minutes after we ordered it. As usual, pizza was hot, crisp with fresh ingredients straight out of the wood-fired oven. Tammy is one of the BEST servers we've encountered anywhere in NC - we always insist on sitting in her section. We will be back - again and again! Highly recommended!”

“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!!!”

“Great place delicious food fast and fresh food Great service delicious coffee”

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."”

“Hit up the Drive Thru. Friday afternoon. Not busy. Dirty Dr. Pepper was tasty. No complaints. It's McDonald's, so keep your order simple, and you won't be disappointed.”

“The Barbacoa quesadilla is soo delicious! And I love the wine and cocktail options. One of my favorite places to go when I visit Mooresville. Come during the day to browse the connected Antique Mall.”

“Fabulous service, excellent food, great experience. Highly recommend this scratch kitchen. Celebrated my dad's 65th here, great spot. Not our first and never will be our last. Thank you On the Nines!”

“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!”

“My family and friends enjoyed visiting The Counter for my son's grooms breakfast the morning of his wedding. The service was amazing !! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious !! I highly recommend you visit when you're in the area you won't be disappointed .”

“I have been searching for a Chicago Italian beef, this is the closest I have found to home! please keep it on your menu!”

“Some of the best company you can find in Mooresville! We salute and support our military veterans and active duty 🫡”

“CynTucci's is an AMAZING family run business! I AM OBSESSED with their yummy delicious everything. We order their beloved Italian Cookies for every event. Recently, I completely forgot to pick up an order for my sons baby shower, I was a wreck because it was Sunday and they were closed! Of course they completely went out of their way and opened the store so I could get my order. Amazing customer service!”

“Amber greeted us with a smile! The service was first rate and the food was perfect. Granddaughter loved the chocolate waffle. Met all our dietary requirements. Can’t recommend this place enough! Thanks Amber. Great job on your first day!”

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

“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!”

“Fantastic! This is our favorite local spot we to show family visiting. The staff is quick and kind, our waiter tonight Christopher was awesome! Highly recommend the caveman roll!!!”

“Everybody always has a great time. They got sports on the TV. The staff is to die for.”

“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.”

“Yum. Loved my strawberry shortcake”

“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!!”

“Authentic tacos. So good and quick service! Muy rico todo.”

“I have been here before but it has been quite a while but this was the first time bringing my mom. Very fun decor (nascar and football themed) We sat inside the bus located inside the restaurant which had little mini TV’s playing kids movies. Very fun. I ordered the BBQ plate which included 2 sides (Mac-n-cheese & baked beans) not your typical Mac-n-cheese - like curly pasta noodles and white cheddar cheese. Baked beans with yummy with onions & bits of bbq in them. The flavor of the BBQ sauce is good. I’m not a vinegar based girl so it was nice to have another option to dip my BBQ in. Husband said the ribs were seasoned well & not dry. Waitress was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!”

“It is just so good! I love the shrimp tacos and the chicken torta, but I bet everything on their menu is worth trying.”

“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 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.”

“Everyone who works here is always so kind!!! Definitely my fav!!!!”

“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.

“Banh Mi is amazing, right? The crispy baguette with flavorful fillings like grilled pork, pickled veggies, LOVE it!! I will for sure be back to try more! Boba tea is always a treat! I loved the sunset lavender breeze, strawberry lemonade, and peach on the beach. There is something for everyone.”

“put sauce and flavor on thr wings I pd extra for”

“Ok, so I went here the first day after their grand opening… it was so busy but very slow service, i waited over an HOUR in the drive through line for my mobile order. Personally I feel like until they get “settled” don’t mobile order.. it was a terrible idea. Not only was the wait long by time I got to the window my drinks were all melted. The toasted bagel was hard as heck ( had to throw it out) my egg soufflé was cold I did still eat the egg and it was good! My 4 year old enjoyed his cake pop! I will try it again because it’s new I would just in person order and walk in. Hoping for better days. I heard great things about this brand and I’m hoping to be able to love it as well!”

“My first and last time here. Waited in drive thru 20 min for a sandwich and fry. No one was there in line and I saw 6 people inside. No one said sorry for your wait or anything. Nope food wasn’t that good either. Should have went with my gut and skipped it Do better or you won’t make it 🫩”

“For being fast food, this place is always on their game. I usually stop by on a dime and the food is ready within 5-10 min. Wings are always hot and fresh and the kitchen looks clean. Good job guys keep up the good work.”
