Kids loving their hot fudge Sunday
Jennifer B.

We were traveling from Florida back home and found this restaurant. This is everything and more that southern cooking and hospitality should be. This is a community oriented restaurant where you see locals not only dining, but also exchanging kindness and conversation. Our family was warmly welcomed and we split up between 2 booths so we could fit our party of 6. Kids loved having their own table! I cannot express enough how warm the atmosphere was. So many smiles and "hellos"...we had a conversation with the nicest couple at the booth next to is as well. My southern roots could not get enough! I ordered fried flounder and got collards and mashed potatoes with it. It was perfect down to the last bite! My son had bbq with slaw and beans - he said he had never had better bbq. Clean plate club! My husband had bacon cheese fries to start with and they were crinkle cut, fried crispy, and covered with real cheddar and crispy bacon. With ranch as a dipper, they were perfect! His main was chicken pie- open faced with the a generous amount of white meat, chopped chicken. The chicken was served the pot pie sauce / gravy with bits of crust throughout. It was so tasty! No veggies inside, which was new for us, but not a negative. He had Mac and cheese with his and it was gooey and perfect! Kids had hot dog and grilled cheese and ate every bite. My other child had fried chicken and kept saying, "mom...this is the best chicken! You should try it! I wish we lived here so we could come every day!". He asked if I would go o line and give Gunther's a 5 star review to share just how great it was! So, here I am! The kids had hot fudge cake too - it was huge! I recommend sharing unless you're still just super hungry after you have a meal there. The sweet tea was like my granny made and I wish I had a gallon to take back home. We will be back again and look forward to it. From the kindness to the food, everything was perfect. In a day and age where we are feeling disconnected and tethered to social media, worried about where we are going as a country, and generally stressed, Gunther's is where you can sit and enjoy and just be present. Share a meal, a conversation with family or a stranger, and take in a beautiful and more gentle pace.

Bacon cheeseburger and onion rings
Wesley F.

This is a popular local place and has solid food. I would rate the burgers three stars, but onion rings and fried okra were four stars. Lots of trucks and lots of locals. They have a pretty extensive specials menu, including barbecue pork, barbecue, chicken, pork, chops, lasagna, chicken livers, shrimp, and catfish. Also extensive sides: mashed potatoes, sweet, potato, casual, potato salad, broccoli, casserole, slaw, collard greens, cucumber, salad, Black Eyed Peas, beets, squash, fried, rice, peaches, and cottage cheese. Whew! If you're in the area and need a meal, it's a good place to stop.

Blueberry Lemon Cookie...YUM!

Love this locals diner spot! We eat here each time we are here camping at Linney's Mill. Home cooked choices like veggies that aren't all fried. Friendly service. The 8 oz burgers are good. I get the one with pimento cheese and bacon.

Gunters Family Kitchen is Absolutely !!! Everyone always gives you a warm welcome soon as you walk in. Food is Absolutely delicious I always make a point stopping in whenever I'm passing thru. Most importantly, it's always a pleasure sitting at the counter chatting with all the locals. You be surprised some recognize ya being a regular stopping thru at times.

True indication of the sanitation of those place. Complacency prevails!!

This place is just damn filthy. Long haired women working the kitchen with no hair nets. Nothing homemade it appears, food is from Sysco I guess. Dump it from the prepackaged plastic bag, heat and serve. And they don't even keep the dang door clean!!! If the door looks like that, i can't imagine what the kitchen looks like! Just gross! I'm glad I went, cause I ain't going back!

Everything from the food to the service was awesome. Southern on Main is a great place for a nice dinner out, and we will definitely be back!

They offer tons of different daily specials as well as everyday menu items. We went on a Friday afternoon which is one of there busiest nights due to it being the night they serve seafood (which was amazing by the way!)

I walked in with my brother and the cashier said hello, but didn't tell us to sit down or to wait for her so we just stood awkwardly until we received direction. About 5 mins later, she finished with the customer checking out, and told us we could just go sit anywhere. There are no menus passed out, there are just specials written on a chalkboard. Apparently, there are other items available because I witnessed people ordering them, but I didn't see any paper menus, so I felt like I had to order from the specials. The Friday special was beef tips. Not something I'd normally go for, I'm not sure if I've ever even tried them before. Our waitress asked how I wanted them cooked so I said medium rare. They came with a choice of mushroom gravy or peppers and onions. We both chose mushroom gravy. Our food was taking a while to come out. Long enough to wonder if we were forgotten, as we watched other patrons come and go and pickup orders going out the door. She eventually came back and informed us that they were out of mushroom gravy, but we could do peppers and onions instead. We said that was fine. A few more minutes went by and they finally brought our food out. No peppers or onions. The beef tips definitely were not med-or med rare, but they were still good and most of the pieces were tender, although they were all different sizes so some were overcooked. Still a great flavor to them and the sides were yummy. Our waitress came back to say they were working on the peppers and onions. By the time she came back the second time, we'd finished eating our food. She apologized that no one brought them out to us. Oh well. The food was good enough that I'd come back, but be aware you might be waiting for a while.

Great Country Diner…read more Located a bit off of I-77 on Hwy 901 West is Chip's Cafe. A favorite with locals and now one of my favorites. Stopped in because someone had recommeded Chip's because of the great Hush Puppies. Without anymore detail, you think Hush Puppies in the areas and you are talking about either a Seafood Restaurant or a Bar-B-Que joint. Turns out Chip;s is much more than that. The special for the night was Salt and Pepper Catfish so we both decided to give it a try. She ordered it along with rice and grave and another side of fresh slaw. I had potato salad and okra with mine. She had the Hush Puppies and I had Texas Toast. Out of this world. The Catfish was some of the best I have ever had. Large, moist, flaky, flavorful filets that melt in your mouth. Forgo the tartar sauce and just go with lemon and it's great. Potato salad is very good but could use just a hint of more mustard in the dressing. Service is great. Very friendly and helpful and they did a great job. As for atmosphere, what can I say. It's a country diner where everyone is welcolm and everyone feels instantly at home. Highly recommend for local and travelers but be aware, it's a little over a mile off of I-77 westbound but well worth the trip. Will be back

We arrived just in the nick of time before their 2pm closing time during the weekday. My friends were acquainted with the server and the owner. Our server was very friendly and welcomed and thanked me for giving them a try. After we all finished chatting she took our drink order. We were all indecisive about our selection since there were many delicious items to select. They 3 of my friends decided to try something they hadn't tried yet. It was all to me so it was hard to select immediately. But, I finally decided on the Strawberry Grilled Cheese sandwich and side selection was the orzo with spinach. Our orders arrived and we sampled each others sandwiches. I did like the strawberry grilled cheese. I didn't think it would pair well, but I was wrong. I thought the same about the Fig Grilled Sandwich. I think I will have that next time. Or I might try some of the other interesting Grilled Sandwiches. The orzo dish was a refreshing dish and went well with the sandwich. This place is decorated cute and it is spacious inside with booth and table seatings available. My friends told me it is busy on the weekends. Our visit was on a Friday. It could have been very busy earlier but when we were seated there were plenty of tables available. This town is quaint, all brick buildings. Be sure you pay attention to the signs where you park. Parking patrol is always patrolling the area. I would definitely return come check them out.

Excellent. Formerly Johnny's Farm House now Mooresville Family House. The location in Concord…read morebecame Concord Family House so not sure what is happening with that. With the Hwy 150 road construction, we have avoided Mooresville traffic but found ourselves in the area so gave it a try. The original was always one of our favorites. Looking at the menu, very little change. Menu looks almost the same which was good because they still have one of my wife's go to favorites, the Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad with Fruit. Needless to say, that is what she ordered and she loved it. I ordered the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich with a side of fries. I do not specifically remember this on the old menu but I may be wrong. In any case, it was excellent. Nice and thick and juicy with a great taste and texture. Not overcooked, tender and great texture. With all of the recalls, I told them to hold the lettuce, but lettuce adds very little to the Sandwich. Nice and clean and well organized. Walked in and was promptly seated and drink order taken followed shortly thereafter with ordering out entrees. Biggest thing that has changed is at the end of the meal. Used to be that you had to walk to the front to the cashier to pay. Now they bring a card reader to your table which is much more convenient. Will make a point of going again in the near future.
