    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!!!

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

    Awesome atmosphere! We are a racing family , so we really enjoyed the all of the racing decor! Kristina was our server and she was fantastic! The manager checked on us to make sure our experience was great! We especially loved the cheese curds!

    10/10 atmosphere if you're a NASCAR fan. I'm from texas and very stuck up about my superior Texas BBQ but for a NC spot this place is fun, filling and delicious. And let's just be honest, you can eat animals sitting in a Dale Earnhardt themed school bus. If this isn't the greatest country in the world I don't know what is. Support America and check this place out. Heather was great.

    The service and the atmosphere were amazing! Christine was very helpful with my first time exploring the menu. Garlic parm on the wings was the move!

    Hush puppies (complimentary) but ordered tartar for the side

    I'm visiting family in Mooresville and they recommended coming to Lancaster's as they have some of the best wings. Now, I come from South Florida where we have a ton of good wing spots, so naturally I was a bit skeptical, but I gave to admit...Lancaster's absolutely lived up to the hype and more! We came on a Thursday at around 6 and it was the perfect time to go because as soon as we put our order in, it started to get really busy! (Which is always a good sign) The atmosphere is pretty awesome! Definitely one of the most unique restaurants I've been in. They have regular tables, a bar, but also have a bus in the middle of the restaurant that you can sit and eat in! Our server was Cathy and she was so incredibly accommodating, quick and personable. She definitely made it a memorable experience. I really wanted to try the wings and she recommended the garlic parm, even brought out a little sauce on the side to try before getting it. So we ended up getting two orders of the small garlic parm wings with blue cheese and chips, the quarter fried chicken with spicy dip, an order of cheese curds and an order of fried pickles. To start, they bring you a basket of hush puppies which are great on their own, but I'd recommend getting a side of the tatar sauce as it really elevates the app! The freshness of the dill in the tartar really pairs well with the warm crispness of the hush puppy. The fried pickles had a fantastic pickle to breading ratio. They weren't overly oily and were crispy, served with a side of their creamy ranch, I'd definitely recommend. Surprisingly, the highlight of all the apps were the cheese curds! They're fried to perfection with a buttery garlic flavor that was so incredible, I'm considering moving to Mooresville just to be able to continue eating them! The wings were just as great as I was told they would be. Crispy, a good size, and the garlic parm sauce had the perfect amount of heat. I had to stop myself from eating all of them so I could be sure and have leftovers to enjoy it again the next day. My aunt says she always orders the quarter fried chicken because its consistently amazing. And while it says a quarter, it looks way bigger! You get a lot of bang for your buck. It even comes with thick cut fries. The sauce is a vinegary, spicy treat that really makes the fried chicken sing. With two 10 pc wings, the quarter chicken, cheese curds, fried pickles and one soft drink, our total only came to $65 which feels like an absolute steal! This meal in South Florida would have easily been around $90. Corey, the manager, even came over to check how everything was. I cant say enough great things about Lancaster's and I will definitely be back my next trip up to Mooresville!

    Pickle martinis, made by the best!!!

    Went to Eddie's to meet for a family birthday so it was a party of 11 on a Sunday afternoon (1:30)…read more I was impressed that we were able to be seated right away since they don't take reservations. The place was busy but soon started clear of the lunch crowd. Turns out It was actually a nice time to go. Our server was Riley and she took good care of us. The menu is extensive so be prepared to be indecisive. Everything looked really good though. Some items we got were better than other unfortunately. Fish and chips- the fish was plentifully but the batter was hard and not seasoned well and the tartar sauce was not tartar sauce. Burger and fries- missing seasoning Seafood platter- seasoning was a miss Hush puppies- more flour than cornflour so a soft puppy and again seasoning was off. Zuppe di Pesci- excellent pasta, sauce was salty and seafood was cooked great. Kids tenders- good Overall, the experience was good. Would return and try different things. Wish the seasonings were on point but perhaps it was the time of day but we can try again.

It was Sunday and super NOT busy! Stuffed olives only take a 4.00 an hour school intern to make 1000! Shotty fucking excuse! "We're too busy!" Thank god you are as 80% of your competitors close from SHITTY service!

And WHAT A MEAL. Explains why it's tough to get in! We arrived early for our reservation and were seated in the bar (which we like) rather than the main dining room. A little slow to start (perhaps we threw off their rhythm)...but went on for a great meal. Nice selection of reasonably priced and interesting wines by the glass. We started with the crab dip which is served with a lot of delicious focaccia. Truth is, that might have been enough...but we continued! She had the scallops, and I the swordfish. Both really outstanding. The swordfish in particular was impressive -- sizable and thick filet that was, nonetheless, not dry in the least. It's pricey. It's hard to get in to.

I visited here over the holiday and was immediately excited, as the entrance provides a view into the kitchen, so you're able to see how precise every cook is about the food that's being served. We were seated towards the back which provided a more intimate vibe - much appreciated. Our server was pleasant and well-informed on both the history of the place and the food menu. As other reviews have pointed out, it's a seafood spot but you have options if your tastebuds call for something else. From the oysters to the main dish - EVERYTHING was great! I've put this place on my list of spots to keep in rotation, because it sincerely is that good! Make a reservation and go check them out!

The inside was decorated in a fun lake theme! Red flag alert: the menu is massive. I'm a firm believer that no kitchen can master everything from A to Z, and Toucan's kind of proves the point. It was "just okay," maybe as much as good but not quite GREAT but the Shrimp Platter actually held its own! The shrimp were huge, well-seasoned, and the rice and beans were a surprising highlight. The real MVP of the night, though, was our waitress. Managing a party of 15 is usually a recipe for disaster, but she was a total pro. Every order was correct, the food arrived hot, and our drinks never hit empty. Go for the lake vibes and the stellar service, stay for the shrimp, but maybe keep your expectations for the rest of that giant menu in check. A solid choice for a big group outing! We would return for sure next time we'll try a !
