Front outdoor seating
Ian M.

I'm not sure how I've been here for seven months now living this close to this place and haven't tried it before now. Really disappointing actually as this place is excellent! I had the Philly cheesesteak and the wife had the gyro and both were very very good. The french fries were awesome! It definitely seems like the owners of this place are probably from somewhere up in the northeast as their menu offers pretty much anything you could want from American to Greek to breakfast/brunch etc. This is definitely going on our list of go to restaurants!

2 Egg Breakfast with SIDE of Tomato (2.99$ extra for tomato)
Malinda S.

The food was good, service good, menu not as clear as it should be. 2 egg special with home fries or grits, toast or biscuit, tomato for 7.99 but the tomato is 2.99 (too much for 4 medium slices) My husband got the french toast with 2 eggs and bacon. It was good. Also there is a 3.95$ charge if you use a credit card but there is a note on the door clearly stating this. So if you add drinks and a generous tip Breakfast for 2 will run about $25-30.

Croissant French toast special

Awesome little spot hidden away in Mooresville! All the food was great and French toast special didn't disappoint, the food came out fast and hot without issue. The staff was sweet as well, they checked on us plenty and made sure we had everything from the second we walked in till we walked out. I really enjoyed that they offered to fill drinks and add a lid to go after we had finished eating. It's a small thing but gave a nice final Interaction.

links, eggs, cheese on a muffin... yea!
Daniel P.

power went out at the house so I went out too. pulled up here about 8:00 and a car hop came over to explain my options. after going over the various permutations (several types of breads, a host of proteins, some dairy, and few styles of potatoes) I went with the sausage links, egg, and cheese on a muffin (wanted banana nut, settled for english.) quite please with how it came out, tasted as good as it photographed. yea for hot food and more coffee! liked PicNik's more better before the plague but still like it well enough now. PicNik's is a staple of the local dining scene with diners coming and going throughout the day but really big on breakfast. it's a local joint with hi-cal options plus carry out and curb service which is especially useful now.

Texas Burger with Potato Salad
Bill W.

Service has tanked since I was here a year and half ago. I've dined here several times over the years, the most recent was in March 2016. At that time, food was great and service was excellent. Don't know what happened but service has gone way downhill and the great potato salad now only the overpowering taste of mustard as opposed to just and accent. Went for lunch today and got a booth right in front of the counter and in a direct line between the cash register and the main dining room. Heavy server traffic but I felt like I was invisible. After sitting there for 5 - 7 minutes, one of the servers did stop and drop off a menu as asked what I wanted to drink. Got my tea quick but before I could order, she was gone and did not appear for another 10 minutes. Ordered a Texas Burger which is a regular Burger served on Grilled Texas Toast with grilled onions. As a side, I had the potato salad I enjoyed last year. The Texas Burger is outstanding. One of the most flavorful Burgers I have had. The Potato Salad I enjoyed a year ago was barely edible and if fact I did not take more than two or three bites of it. A little mustard in potato salad as an accent is good but when that is all you can taste, not a pleasant experience. Should have suspected something when the potato salad was served and it was almost a fluorescent yellow. At the end, the server did ask if I wanted a tea to go which I took her up on it. Not as good as it used to be.

Pick nik friends!!

Not sure where the disconnect has been for some others. Maybe it's the hustle and bustle of being…read morelocated at the edge of a little big city. If you slow your roll down some, this is one of the best fast-food restaurants in the area. We don't usually order anything remarkable; typically a hotdog or grilled cheese combo, a soup, fries. But they never get our orders wrong, and the food is always fresh and presentable enough. Not greasy nor gross either. The staff is very courteous; politeness of the best kind. They come to work with a smile on their face and provide great customer service. As I've said before in a review or two elsewhere: you would think that's not much to ask for. It is extremely refreshing to come sit down here and eat with family after a long day and be greeted by someone who is ready to meet your needs without a sigh or whisper of rudeness. Would certainly come again, as we often do.

Had to stop here while on a short food run to the Mooresville area. Lot's going on in this area in…read morethe restaurant scene, if you can fight your way through the darn traffic. I wanted to pop in here for 2 reasons #1, I like their hot dogs, and #2, I wanted to take a closer look at the Wiener that Dairi-o uses. We got a 2 hot dog combo, and both dogs were with kraut and mustard. We each grab a dog, I passed on the FF (hate these crinkled boards of non--flavor). This is a very good kraut dog, loaded, really loaded with zesty sauerkraut. The wiener seems about average, probably around 1.6 ounces. Dairi-o's weiner is 100% beef in a natural casing, providing a snap when bitten, and is made to their specifications, they do not purchase a national brand. Like the other newer locations, this is a bright, clean spot up-fitted in retro diner style - open and spacey,plenty of sunlight from the numerous windows. The lot and the drive thru are easily entered, and the lot is spacious.

Paloma is a beautiful location, and we really wanted to love our dinner here, but unfortunately,…read morethe food didn't quite live up to expectations. I ordered the pork belly bao buns, but they missed the mark for me. Coming from NY, I'm used to bao buns being marshmallow-soft and pillowy, but these were a hard, and the pork belly itself was quite tough. Our wonderful waitress noticed I only took one bite and brought the manager over. He explained that the cut is naturally mostly fat, which I understand, but the texture just wasn't quite right because it should be tender not tough. I declined a replacement dish, and he kindly credited it on our bill, though the interaction felt a little awkward. My husband's salmon unfortunately had a very heavy mustard flavor. The spinach farrotto underneath was quite salty. Since there isn't a kids menu which is fine, my daughter ordered the burger plain, but it wasn't really a hit for her. My coconut guava Paloma was okay definitely the best part of my meal though it tasted a little artificial. The ambiance has a lot of potential, and they had live music playing. However, it was a bit too loud for the space, forcing guests to raise their voices just to speak to each other. We also noticed our table hadn't been wiped down thoroughly before we sat down. The absolute silver lining of our evening was our waitress. She was incredibly sweet, highly attentive, and took great care of us. She is truly the reason I am giving 3 stars.She mentioned that they offer a completely different menu for brunch. Because the setting is so pretty and the service was so good, we might give them another chance for brunch down the road, but we likely wouldn't return for dinner. Proof that lighting and plating can hide a lot! Captured these beautiful views last night, even though the dinner itself was a bit of a letdown.

The ambiance was very nice, and the staff was pleasant and welcoming. The salmon was…read moreexcellent--cooked perfectly, moist, and flavorful--and was easily the best dish we had. The shrimp wrap, however, was disappointing. It had very little shrimp and seemed to rely heavily on overcooked bacon and an abundance of lettuce, which made it tough to chew and left it lacking balance. The menu offers unique flavors and creative combinations, but in this dish, there seemed to be more emphasis on presentation and concept than substance.

Here's a more natural **Google review** version:…read more Service was the biggest issue here. One of the young ladies was very off-putting -- not rude, just not welcoming. The pancake tacos felt gimmicky and didn't hold together well, so I ended up cutting them up on my plate. They didn't taste bad, but the taco stands were silly. A 97 score isn't terrible, but it's not especially impressive either. Overall, the service killed the experience for me, and I won't be back.

This was my first visit to the Counter. We arrived in time for their lunch menu, and there was lots…read moreto choose from. This place has great black and white decor, with lots of plants. Makes it feel very welcoming. We tried two of the sandwiches, the Americano, which had house roasted roast beef, caramelized onions, mushrooms, aoli dressing. So delicious. The bread is really soft too. You get a choice of chips or potato salad, also house made. Potato salad is very good, not at all mayonnaise overpowering or gummy. The other sandwich was the South of Philly Cheesesteak. Shaved meat with cheddar cheese. Very, very good. The Counter has a small area of seats from front to back plus a little area outside to sit. They are located between stores in a strip mall, but easy to find. Next time, I'll have to try their breakfast menu, as I can tell from the other reviews that they are large and tasty.
