The burger itself was juicy, well-seasoned, and came with grilled onions that gave it that nice smoky flavor. Definitely not your standard drive-thru burger, but I wouldn't say it's mind-blowing either. The fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred. They have a variety of sauce choices to choose from. Spicy ranch caught my attention. You can also find choices of different peppers if you go indoors at the counter. The Habit feels like a solid "in-between" -- more flavor and quality than a fast-food chain, but still quick and affordable. If you want a dependable burger that tastes fresh and slightly elevated, this is a great pick.

I am surprised by quality of the food. The burger tasted fresh. I had the teriyaki burger, it has…read morethe perfect sweetness to it. Also the onion rings tasted great.

The first tap beer felt off and I tried another one and didn't realize until after a few sips that it also felt off. I didn't want to be annoying so I just drank it. So ... if you order a burger and fries and bottled beer (if you drink beer), you should have a swell time.

I would not even post this if it had not been that this is the second time I've been to Duckworth's and service has just been horrendous. I'm not sure if it's because there is a group of regulars that go there and love the establishment, and gives them high scores but as someone who visits every now and then, and each time over the last six months has received horrible service I just don't understand. The food is not that great, and the service is even worse. I would not recommend this restaurant at any time of the day or night not until they can get either staffing needs straightened out or better food .

We were traveling thru Troutman during lunchtime and I found Kat's Patch on Yelp. It sounded like…read morewhat we were looking for, so we stopped by. It was a slow-busy day, customers trickled in, but at a steady pace. It's been in business for a few decades, so we weren't surprised at the amount of people who knew each other. We ordered at the counter, sat in a booth, and had a brief wait, since the food is freshly prepared. Soon our food was ready. My husband ordered the "super pimento burger." (It was super because it was larger than the regular burger.) The burger was one of the best diner burgers we've tried. Hand molded, crispy edges, tender middle, and as tasty as could be. The pimento cheese was good, and the bun was very fresh. I had the foot long chili cheese dog. Simple, with American cheese, and a nice mild chili; the dog was grilled and the bun was soft. It was just what I wanted. We didn't order fries and I'm glad because the servings were just the right size. For dessert, we each had a fried apple hand pie. (I had seen the signs on the outside window and knew I just had to have one.) They were also made and cooked on demand and were absolute perfection: crispy, delicate crust, with a juicy apple pie filling. (Better than any other fast food place could dream of!) We are looking to come back for another enjoyable and very affordable lunch! (Tip: watch out upon entering the parking lot, there's a steep dip for low riding cars.)

I had visited another Harriet's location before and left a little disappointed because there was simply too much sauce on the burger. This time I ordered the exact same double burger but asked for the sauce on the side, and it completely changed my opinion. The burger was outstanding. The beef was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and adding the sauce myself let the burger shine instead of getting lost in it. The sauce also made a great dip for the fries. The fries were good but fairly average. I did overhear several people talking about how good the cheese curds were, so those will definitely be my order next time. I've eaten burgers all over the Davidson, Cornelius, and Mooresville area, and I don't say this lightly. This burger has earned a spot at the very top of my list. I think it's the best burger in Davidson and has a strong case for being the best in the entire area, even ahead of longtime favorites like Brickhouse Tavern, North Harbor Club, and Bau's Burgers.

However, my recent customer service experience completely changed my opinion of this place. About 2-3 weeks ago, I ordered wings and they forgot to include my blue cheese dressing. I only ate a couple wings because I'm someone who likes dipping sauce with my food. So unfortunately, the rest of the wings went to waste. Today, I returned and politely explained the situation to the staff. I simply asked if they could provide an extra blue cheese this time due to the previous mistake. The cashier went to get the manager, Taylor, who informed me that I would need to have a "credit" on my account in order to receive the blue cheese dressing. She explained that I should have called the same day the mistake happened. I was honestly shocked by the response. As a returning customer who tips every visit, I expected a much better level of customer service and professionalism. I even asked if my tip could be refunded due to the poor service experience, and that request was DENIED as well. What's disappointing is this entire situation could have been resolved easily with a simple cup of blue cheese dressing. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and unnecessarily difficult. The food may be good, but great restaurants also provide quality customer service and value loyal customers. Sadly, this experience left a bad impression on me. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good customer service alongside their food.
