    Great food and service is quick. Home cooked meals like grandma made when you was a little chap.

    Grilled cheese with Vegetable Beef Soup.
    Suzanne S.

    Chuckwagon is one of Lincolnton's locally owned burger places, which doesn't adequately describe it, really. It has so much more! One of my favorite things about the restaurant is how they home cook a few specials each day. One of today's specials was Hamburger Steak with gravy and onions, mashed potatoes and pinto beans. It always comes with a dessert of some kind, too. They also offer those pinto beans in a bowl with cornbread. The last special was the one I chose: Vegetable Beef soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. At one time or another I've practically had everything on the menu. I love their flounder sandwiches and their hot dogs. Sometimes they'll have chicken casserole as their special of the day and I'll be in heaven! The ranch dressing is also some of my favorite around. They actually have a great salads. Another great feature about this restaurant is the drive up service. You can call ahead and they'll bring it out to your car, or check the menu board that have been there for 20 years and order when you get there. Like a sonic, only better offerings! If you do go inside to eat, they have a very small dining area. It gets really busy at lunch, but there is an outdoor seating area when the weather is nice. 4 stars. This place is a good solid place that has been in business for as long as I've lived here. It's not fancy, but it is good at what it does. Give it a try! It's an institution!

    Food was great. Slaw was probably my favorite around. I would suggest subbing the regular fries with the sour cream fries they are sooo much better. I only give 4 starts because it took so long to get the food. Next time I will definitely be calling ahead.

    Great burger nothing fancy super juicy and fresh.

    Located inside an old chair, this place was amazing! Cool,…read morecasual yet elegant, service was outstanding and the food was really delicious and fresh. We came for brunch and they almost had to roll us out of there. They passed around oysters, shrimp cocktail and grilled pineapple with honey. Three different food stations: meat, vegetable and shrimp skewers was one; your choice of southern ham (prosciutto basically) or crab cake eggs benedicts was the second one and the third one I don't remember (mostly because I didn't quite make it there). In the middle they had lobster deviled eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and a small section with desserts. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Yes, it's expensive but so well worth it!! Parking can be an issue but the good thing is, you can walk off a little of everything that you ate so that's a win!

    It wasn't worth the price tbh for brunch. I will update my review or make a new one if we go to…read moredinner and maybe that was our mistake. $78 per person from brunch wasn't that great. They barely brought around food like the French toast bites. They kept bringing around oysters and literally no table wanted them that I saw. It wasn't that busy either, tons of empty tables. Instead they held off the arguably best dish of the house: French toast bites. We FINALLY got them at the end of our meal before we left but had to stalk the waiter for them. For $78 there should be way more rotations of the better dishes. Our waiter was great and atmosphere is gorgeous. Playing, food quality and everything was average. The highlight was the poached eggs, eggs Benedict, bacon, potatoes, skewers and everything else was okay. Not better than like Golden Corral or a standard buffet. My opinion is skip the brunch for that price, unless you really like oysters LOL. Also if I had little kids, would never waste money on brunch here.

First of all it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The building is lovely and well maintained. Very welcoming. We were seated up on the 5th floor and had a super server who was knowledgeable and friendly. My sister ordered Chicken and Waffles and I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy and a side of the Parmesan Grits. They gave us these adorable cornbread medallions served warm with this amazing compound butter that was a little sweet and had this citrus zest which complimented the bread perfectly. My sister loved the crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside waffles and I inhaled my biscuits and gravy. We both thought the parmesan grits were the star of the day. Usually parmesan cheese can make things too salty, they balanced it perfectly. I can't say enough nice things about this wonderful spot. YOU MUST GO. The view, the food, the service is top notched.

Waitress just didn't follow up. My water sat unrefilled for a long time. Fried okra didn't taste like okra - but that suited a few of the party. But a few of us expected okra flavor only to be disappointed. Temp on the fried green tomatoes should have been warmer but overall it was very tasty. Our appetizer empty plates sat for a while - we even stacked them so it was clear they should be cleared. Ordered the salmon, which was good, but so did my mom. We ordered different temps and they couldn't tell which was which. Wife ordered a salad and for the price, there was barely anything there. Mac and cheese is still the star. Oysters were decent - I expected larger. The half chicken was a generous portion - nice crispy outside but a bit dry inside. I wouldn't order it (I almost did, but my one of our party did). One of our party ordered a stuffed leeks and it was so salty it was inedible. They did fix it and admitted it should have never left the kitchen. By the time the replacement came out it was after 6:05 (and they had to leave at 6:15). So they didn't get to eat their celebratory meal with the rest of us. Not the memory you want for a meal. Desserts were good. Tort was dense - honestly not sure if that's normal. Crème brûlée was very good. For a $400+ experience and our history with Pump House, I expected more.

As a New Yorker we have our share of markets/food halls and OH fits the familiar script, with a slightly smaller footprint than what I've experienced. What never seems to change is that securing seating can be a challenge because all spots are "prime" real estate and the abundance of choices is an indecisive person's nightmare. Nonetheless, to all the foodies at heart those are just minor details for mere mortals... lol. We managed to grab a larger enough table and everyone circled until we made our individual choices and then returned to our central meeting spot to break bread and indulge in all of our finds. We enjoyed several of the eateries we experienced and I was particularly intrigued by the plant store (albeit kinda pricey). Returning is a no brainer especially for the places that were most memorable. Just A Note: Parking is not free, payment is required. Please note depending on the time of day it can be crowded so securing a spot will require patience.
