BBQ Pork plate
Tracey B.

We loved the NASCAR theme decor! I had the BBQ plate with Mac & Cheese and bbq beans. The pork was delicious and the serving was much bigger than I expected. The beans and the Mac & Cheese were also very good. My dinner companions also loved their meals. The prices were extremely reasonable and the server was very friendly.

Banana Pudding & Cherry Cobbler.

The food, service & atmosphere was great! We weren't going to have dessert but heard they had Cherry Cobbler so we had to try. It was fabulous! We will definitely be back!

The service is great. Try Humming Bird on tap. The staff is amazing. The food is delicious. A must place to have a meal.

Fried Pickles, excellent
Fred B.

You rarely, if ever, find Eastern NC BBQ anywhere near this far west, but you can find it here, the restaurant proclaims! But it is not really Eastern N C BBQ - they do not cook whole hog, they cook with gas, and as served the rather coarser chopped pork has little if any vinegar taste- there is a vinegar and pepper sauce on the table. The slaw is labeled Mustard Slaw which is definitely not an Eastern N C BBQ staple. It is much like the mayo and mustard based slaw that was served for over 50 years by Bill Spoon's BBQ in Charlotte. This was not bad BBQ, but it is more a hybrid NC cue, a bit like Hursey's in Burlington, except for the slaw. I might try it again if in the immediate area, but this is not destination pig. The Brunswick Stew was ok, but the veggies were of the frozen variety. The Fried Pickles and Fried Mushrooms are excellent, as is the Ranch dipping sauce. Point: this is NOT Pulled Pork, it is Chopped Pork BBQ!!!

Shann was so fantastic! She was super attentive, super sweet. I would come back! She was on point and made you feel like this place is a home! Good came out hot and perfect! Never felt rushed. Just moved to the area and I would defiantly come back again.

If you're a NASCAR fan, it's a must visit place in Mooresville. Food is great. Service is exceptional. I appreciate Kristina's warm hospitality.

Service by Yaz was great! Prices are very affordable and food was tasty. And if you like NASCAR you will love the ambiance.

After reading some of the reviews, I was glad we decided to give Eddie's a chance. We arrived at…read more8:10 p.m. and were seated by 8:44 p.m. Considering how busy it was, I thought the wait was reasonable, and once the crowd started to die down, the service was very good. Our server, Payton, was kind, provide good service throughout our meal. I ordered the fish and chips and the steak, and both were very good. The beautiful waterfront view and live music made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. My only suggestion is for the staff who seat guests. First impressions are everything in hospitality, and I noticed the menus and napkins were tossed onto the table rather than being placed down with care. It may seem like a small detail, but it sets the tone for the entire dining experience. I work in the hospitality industry and have traveled all over the world, and I've learned that outstanding customer service is just as important as great food. Even on busy nights, those little touches make guests feel welcome and encourage them to come back.

2nd edit .. i am finished exchanging with the owner. My record stands for itself on Yelp and so…read moredoes the owner's. Negative reviews boil down to the way she treats customers and the environment she promotes. But as she likes to say... NEXT .. This is bullying behavior and it doesn't look very professional. On every review platform others have been treated exactly the same. A Tip? for what exactly? The stellar service? Ruining my birthday dinner? Maybe she should pay her tip as the owner for treating customers this way. It IS refreshing to hear her defend her employees, as I have read comments by former employees she's treated horribly. My daughter-in-law simply said she felt sorry for the server working under these conditions. The owner responds to unfavorable reviews harshly. She wasn't present, didn't know the facts, yet responded within minutes of my review. To correct the account she provided: WE asked for the police after reaching an impasse. We were speaking with the manager, not "scolding" her daughter. We asked for the owner's contact information because we did not know the manager was her daughter. Once we learned that, my daughter-in-law asked for her father's information, assuming the owner might be "Eddie." It was an innocent misunderstanding. There was no shouting or harshness. Two steaks were overcooked. We intended to pay our $197 bill; we never refused. The police can confirm that. We never saw a receipt, only the total on a check. The claim that we refused payment is false. The fish remake offer came much later, after escalation, not immediately. I've written over 69 reviews in 14 years, and only four have been one-star reviews. This is the only review I've had to edit in response to untrue claims. We chose this restaurant to celebrate despite locals warning us about bad experiences. The menu looked promising. Most of the food was fine; the issue was service. As long as everything goes perfectly and you don't complain, you'll probably be fine. We were seated on a side patio in direct sun with no shade despite having a very fair-skinned infant with us. We asked to move and were reseated inside, even though we had requested a lake view, believing this was the only patio. We were not told there was a shaded back patio. The hostess made it feel like an inconvenience. Our server later explained seating is based on server quotas, not guest preference. We rarely saw our server; expo delivered most food. When I spoke to someone in a "Staff" jacket about seating (later identified as the owner's daughter), she turned away without engaging. The issue escalated when both steaks were overcooked twice. After another wait, a manager arrived who had been shucking oysters nearby without acknowledging us. Her shirt was soiled, which raised concern about presentation. She said inconsistent steak cooking was not something they could control. The steak was remade, but still overcooked. Because it was my birthday, my husband waited to eat with me while others started. By the time my replacement arrived, his fish sandwich was cold and no longer served at an appropriate holding temperature, which raised concerns about food safety. We again asked to speak with someone and were told it was the owner's daughter. We said we would pay for everything except the overcooked steak and cold sandwich. She refused. Because we could not resolve it, we asked for police assistance. Employees stood near the front door though we had never refused to pay. The sandwich was later offered to be remade, but by then we were ready to leave. The issue was never payment. It was poor food quality, poor service, and refusal to correct a reasonable complaint. The steak was eventually removed from the bill. The issue came down to a cold sandwich and the expectation that a party dining together should eat together. When mistakes happen, acknowledgment matters more than excuses. I have dined worldwide and rarely experienced service like this. After reading other reviews, I noticed a pattern of the owner dismissing feedback and responding defensively rather than constructively, which may explain the low ratings. Aside from this restaurant, we had a wonderful visit to the area and found other great restaurants. I only wish we had read reviews beforehand. The police told us the owner said we were no longer welcome back. OH Darn.

I rarely write reviews, and I've already written one for Seaboy, but this place deserves another…read more The night started with a complimentary scallop toast: crisp, sesame-crusted, topped with fried garlic and scallions. It was such a thoughtful touch and a perfect start. Next came the mushroom toast, which is one of our all-time favorites. It's rich, savory and earthy, served on perfectly charred bread, and we order it every single time. Then the whole branzino arrived, beautifully charred and topped with fresh herbs and chili, with blistered shishitos and grilled lemon alongside. It was flaky, flavorful and absolutely delicious. As always, the service was top-notch: warm, attentive and never rushed. Seaboy is one of Cornelius's true gems, so whatever you do, don't skip the mushroom toast!

The table was ready and ours for the evening. We were seated on the porch and were very comfortable there. We enjoyed the service from the recommendations to the banter. It really added to the experience. The food was phenomenal. We opted for a few small plates and one entree to share. This allowed room for dessert! Everything on the menu seemed perfectly crafted. Many unexpected dishes that we want to try. We ordered the heirloom tomato dish (a special), the sablefish, the brussel sprouts, and the yellowfin crudo. All of that left room for the deconstructed key lime pie. Delicious. Worth of reservations. Prime times book up and can book up a month out. They have an oyster happy hour, $2 oysters. I am unsure of the details on that. For reference, our meal with drinks was just over $170 for 3 people.

It looks like something direct from US Foods and thrown in a fryer. The service and the restaurant policies are so opposite of customer focused. They do not have outdoor service even though they have about 15 tables out. Apparently those are for "waiting" for an inside table. We brought our dog so planned to sit outside as we had done before. No longer an option but you can order to go. I was exhausted so and just wanted a nice dinner I didn't have to cook so I ordered to go. However, you cannot eat your food at their "waiting" tables. After we received our to go order I was told I had to move to a different area to eat the food: All of though the tables outside were open. The hostess should get an award for smiling while being so rude. Oh and someone came in with a service dog that was questionable at best; however, the person showed the service dog card at which point the hostess asked what service the dog performed (has she heard of HIPPA?). Find another place if you want good food or service.
