    Salted Caramel Latte
    Nanci P.

    Cozy place to sit and have either a specialty coffee or alcohol drink. They have outdoor seating too. Our Salted Caramel Lattes were made quickly and tasted great. Would have enjoyed sitting and people watching as it would have been a perfect spot to spend an hour. We took our coffees to go but will be back another day to take advantage of this spot.

    After a few visits, I can say this is the cool new hot spot in the Lake Norman area. Craft Beer, wine, snacks - savory scones, pretzels, local pimento cheese with crackers, flats or pita chips. If you are hungry, there are plenty of options that will deliver here. Live music on some nights. Chat with Kenny behind the bar about the wine & brews. He won't steer you wrong. So excited to have such a hip spot in Old Town Cornelius. FINALLY ;) This a great place to hang and enjoy an afternoon or evening with friends. A huge plus...it is one of the very few spots open late night around LKN. If you have to wait to get in, it is worth it. Be patient & come back often! It is still very new, so I will update as things evolve at this new hot spot. Say "hi" if you see me hanging out!

    Chai latte and Mamosa with grits and shrimp

    Awesome place to visit. Enjoyed the live music last night great beer. Had to come back this morning for my favorite Chai latte and Mamosa I'll always return to a place with a clean bathroom great place to hang out I'll be back when I come back to town

    Such a cozy little spot for coffee. It's super convenient to get to and has ample space for people to come and work or just meet up with friends. The best part is that it's not just a coffee shop it's got beer & wine for when it's quitting time (or before, they don't judge!).

    Enjoying music by the Hi-Flyes!

    Great place to hear local musicians over a beer. Can't wait to see their outside seating area.

    Vanilla cardamom latte
    Sarah S.

    I had only ever been here at night and for the beer. They are a great local spot with live bands playing almost nightly. But I had heard they served coffee during the day so figured I should check it out. Lovely! Love using the space during the day because they have large glass windows for natural light. They offer specialty seasonal lattes, I tried the vanilla cardamom. It was a little too sweet for me. They also have oat milk, though they were out of stock today. The baristas were nice and they offer a loyalty card for coffee! I'll probably be back here for more work.

So while my never-ending battle to get my beers counted in real-time still remains the bane of my ubiquitous existence here, at least the staff make it a little less maddening. To be fair sometimes it is tech issues where the app (which I have a neverending love/hate relationship with) will decide to do some new, weird, baffling yet enraging thing that mucks up my beer count, but I can always count on my Ladies in Charge Izz & Kels to work their magic. I also gotta give shoutouts to my girls Maddie & Stella & Katie for always taking care of me and finding ways to turn my frowns upside down! I have enjoyed the different styles and breweries they have recently been bringing into the mix (I thought I had died and gone to beer heaven when I saw they had 6 yes SIX 3 Floyds beers on tap & in cans!), but have noticed they haven't been adding as many local NC beers like they used to, which makes it hard for a regular, such as myself, on her 17th plate to come in for $5 NC Drafts on Sundays. I appreciate the new daily specials on Fridays/Saturdays and showing more appreciation for BeerKnurds that have been added (notably 1/2 lunch for BKs on Tues from 11am-3pm), but REALLY REALLY wish they would do more stuff (as in ANYTHING) for MOUs (BKs w/5+ plates). All that being said, you really can't beat their $5 off any draft on the wall or hard liquors + wine Mondays or their create your own pizzas (might I suggest my personal creation & fav the "Tickle My Pickle?); the food menu is just solid as their kitchen staff are some of the best (and nicest) in the biz! So, if you're looking for a spot where the staff make the experience just as much as the beer & food and that is the literal embodiment of Cheers once you've established yourself as a regular, then look no further! Come for the great beer shirts/hats + collectible glassware and stay for the beer/booze, food, and people...until next year!

    A fun, character-filled beer spot, but the food didn't quite live up to the experience…read more I met up with family at The Flying Saucer in the University area. It's seat-yourself, so we had to pull a couple tables together to fit everyone. One thing to note: it was very warm inside, so I'd recommend sitting toward the back where it's more comfortable. My boys really enjoy this place, so I wanted to like it more, but the food was just okay and a bit pricey for what you get. Most items run about $14.99-$21.99, even appetizers are at entrée prices. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries appetizer ($15.99) after hearing they were "fire." The steak had good flavor, but the portion was light--fine for sharing, but not very filling. One entree, Big Dipper ($15.49), a roast beef seemed overcooked and there wasn't much meat on a large bun. Two people from the table ordered pizza. Neither ate more than 2 pieces. On the positive side, the beer selection is excellent, with plenty of options on tap and in bottles and cans--from Guinness to local IPAs. The atmosphere is also unique: plates cover the walls and ceiling from guests who've completed their beer challenge, which makes for a fun, quirky vibe you really have to see in person. Dart boards for those who want to be a bit more active. Overall, it's a great spot for beer and atmosphere, but the food and pricing didn't quite match the experience for me.

The menu is expansive, offering options for absolutely everyone. It's a perfect choice when you have a group that can't agree on what type of food they want! The service is always great, and the staff is consistently friendly and accommodating. You simply can't go wrong with any of their potato options--fries, tots, and homemade chips are all solid. Other highlights include their chicken wraps, burgers, and cheesesteaks. But the real stars are the wings--getting them in the Riddle flavor is always the way to go! They also round everything out with a nice selection of beers and cocktails.

Came here with the widows group for trivia night on a Thursday and got the California wrap on whole wheat tortilla with grilled chicken blackened and a side of fruit and it was excellent as always! Everyone else's food looked also very appetizing! The place is packed and they are busy, but the waitresses were excellent and kept the drinks coming and same time serving everybody else and making sure plates are emptied off the table! Well, definitely be going back again and again!
