    Best kept secret at the Lake. Strong drinks, won't break your wallet, and great bartenders!! It's a true local spot but don't tell everyone.

    It is smokey in there, so if you want a drink and smoke at the same time- this is the right place for you.

    From the friendly staff, to the play, to the food and drinks...A+...If youre a beginner to an "A"…read morelevel player this is a great spot for pickleball. I brought my fiance who has never hit a pickleball to this place. From the staff helping her, to the guidance by other players, I just can't say enough positives. The layout of this place is awesome. The courts are great. The fellow players are competitive but kind. I wish I had another set of hands and arms so I could give this place 4 thumbs up. If you pickleball, I dont see a reason for you not playing here. If you dont pickleball, this is a great environment to start.

    Wow. Honestly kinda blown away by this place. First of all the facility is beautiful, they have…read moreindoor and outdoor pickleball courts, top golf simulators, a bar, and a fully functional cafe/restaurant. All of it is super modern, clean, and well designed. Now onto the food specifically - I heard it was really good so I decided to order some lunch. My only complaint is there's no way to order online so I had to call my order in. I got a burger and fries, chicken wings, and guacamole. The burger was great, I have no complaints at all, and the fries were fresh and flavorful. The wings were jumbo and juicy. I don't think I'll order the barbalo sauce next time, but other than that the wings were amazing. They come with fresh celery and carrots and blue cheese/ranch. Overall I was impressed. And the guacamole was fresh, chunky, and tasted great. The chips were good too, honestly no complaints and would order again. Overall I was surprised how good the food is here being a pickleball facility. The restaurant area is honestly much nicer than most restaurants in the Lake Norman area and I wouldn't think twice about taking someone here for lunch. Everything feels well run, thought out, and I'm glad to see it looks like they're growing fast. I showed up on a Tuesday afternoon and the parking lot was full to the brim - I honestly thought they must be sharing parking with someone else but no, it was just as full of people on the inside.

    I had Bartaco in Birkdale for the first time over the weekend. The set up was cute and there's…read moreplenty of tables. We were seated quickly without a reservation. We had guacamole & chips for an appetizer - this was fine but nothing special. The chips are tostada style so you may need to ask for extra if sharing with a group. For lunch, I got the pork belly and chicken verde tacos. The menu advises 3 bites per taco which is pretty accurate. We ordered street corn & plantains for sides, both were quite good. I got churros for dessert and they were probably the highlight of the meal.

    The first time my friend and I ate here it was great, lovely hostess, great server and delicious…read morefood. Tonight the hostess looked like she hated her job. All of doors were open to outside and it was cold with a draft, I'm not sure why they left the doors open tonight but I had asked her to sit far away from the doors and then she ended opening up another one of the doors so they were all open. She didn't smile once and looked visibly annoyed from the moment I walked in. The food was also not great tonight. The restaurant was pretty dead and the tacos came out cold. The pork belly needed to be heated up more. The tuna taco was terrible tonight with a fishy taste (much different than my last experience) and had a shiny film on it. I took one bite and thought it tasted bad so didn't eat the rest, I'm surprised my server didn't ask me what was wrong with it.
