OG smash with plus on lettuce instead of bun
Emizz Z.

Hostess/bar service was so friendly and accommodating. An easy, quick burger/dog spot. Glad they're quick to swap my bun too, inhaled it

Tater tots

Tried Sumo Shack LKN yesterday. I've been looking for a good Chicago dog ever since Matt's Chicago Dog closed. This place didn't disappoint . The Chicago Dog was good. The Tater Tits were some of the best I've had in a long time. The fried pickles were also good. Give this place a try. Note... make sure to tell them if you do or do not want onions on the Chicago Dog.

OG Philly and Salted Sweet Potato Fries
Heather M.

I was in Mooresville for a business trip and was staying at the Home2Suites next door. I wondered in to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food was! The salted sweet potato fries were a little overcooked, but the Philly could not have been any better. There isn't much seating inside, but I really liked the place. Service was good and the food was great.

Aloha Smash Burger
Katlyn C.

I love a good smash burger, and these are GOOD. I got the Mac and cheese burger and my friend got the Aloha burger and both were amazing! The onion rings weren't very good and I'm pretty sure they put hidden valley in a 2 oz container as "their" ranch. Besides that, we would definitely come back!

What a great time with our first experience at Sumo Shack and of course the Highway Bar. This bar was built in Chicago 1954 and moved here to NC! A must see. The food was amazing and look forward to going again.

okay, welcome to sumo shack; like the love shack but sub out Fred Schneider and the B-52s' for kimchi fries and a proper chicago dog. can't have a bad time here: the overhead is midcentury stuff that is closer to big hair than big bands but there you go; the menu lists the food of my youth and that long skinny bar from a long skinny tavern south of the Skyway tells lies about summer days and indecision, starless nights too often in the company of torch singers and madmen... but for now my cardiologist says the only person here that might kill me is the fry-cook. so yeah: hot dogs, smash burgers, italian beef sammiches with the constant threat of tarted-up taters. barstools and fancy flooring and people trying to make sense of the odd little protuberances along the wall. the late afternoon air full up with samples of the most disreputable dance music in the best possible way and if I had my druthers I'd be here way too often. Maybe I'll Live Forever...

Sumo Fries and Lakeway Philly   Ribeye - 6"
MK W.

Found this little gem while searching through Yelp one day. The food is fast and freshly made. And the staff is very friendly. Restaurant has recently undergone a renovation and put in a beautiful old Chicago bar. But the real stars here are the ooey gooey cheesesteaks. There are several different varieties and the loaded fries are also a must try.

Chicago Dog and a spicy bulgogi dog!
Blake W.

A perfect Chicago transplant. Even the bar look like Richard's on Halsted! Amazing food and the staff is so great.

Onion rings

The sandwiches were good but a little pricey. We got the large size too and it wasn't very big $17 for just the sandwich without the side is a lot. Their onion rings were also awful but could be because we got them to go. The breading wasn't even on them

shrimp cocktail
Trisha A.

Amazing food and bar atmosphere! The shrimp cocktail, huge pretzel and practically all the menu is super, plus the drinks are also top notch The bar itself has also been bought and shipped out of Chicago ( I believe it was from the '50s!) which gives the bar a really unique atmosphere

Great food & service, but to-go order mix-up was disappointing. I recently visited Bad Daddy's…read moreBurger Bar, and overall, the food, drinks, and service were great! Our waitress was friendly and attentive, making the dine-in experience smooth and enjoyable. I ordered a Create Your Own Burger with mayo, bacon, a fried egg, double patty (medium well) on a brioche bun, plus their signature Bad Daddy's Sauce--and it was delicious. Everything was cooked just right, and the flavors came together perfectly. I also got a side of crispy, well-seasoned fries (note: fries are not included with the burger--you'll have to order them separately), and we started off with an appetizer of fried chicken wings. The wings were tasty, though I personally felt $10 was a bit steep for what you get. For drinks, I had the Bad Ass Lime Margarita, and it was strong and really hit the spot. One glass is plenty for most people. I also tried the Strawberry Bad Ass Margarita, which honestly tasted even stronger than the lime version--both were very good. Unfortunately, the downside of our visit came with one of the to-go orders. My friend ordered the same burger they had earlier, but when they got home, they realized it was made incorrectly--it ended up being exactly like my burger instead of what they asked for. They were really disappointed and upset. Hopefully it can be resolved when they call the restaurant. Here are pictures of the latest menu and my food and drinks - everything looked just as good as it tasted (at least for my order).

This was my first time to this location after having been to the Birkdale location several times…read more(always good). Due to this one's geographical location, the energy isn't quite as high, but the staff is efficient and friendly and the food is good. I enjoyed my burger very much and the fries were solid. I ate at the bar and the bartender was good. The only negative is the tap beer tasted odd and I felt a little sick later (nothing serious). The first tap beer felt off and I tried another one and didn't realize until after a few sips that it also felt off. I didn't want to be annoying so I just drank it. So ... if you order a burger and fries and bottled beer (if you drink beer), you should have a swell time.

First time ever at a Culver's. Pretty good experience. The place was spotlessly clean, including…read morethe bathrooms. Most everyone was pleasant, except for one extremely grumpy cashier (but he must have just had a bad day). The food was great. We all had the Value Baskets. The fries were fantastic, hot and super crispy. Both the Buffalo and the Original chicken tenders were tasty and crispy, but the Buffalo just had a faint spice to it, not really Buffalo-ey at all. I had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and yes, that was wonderfully spicy. I was so happy with that. My son and I swapped bites so I tried his ButterBurger with Cheese. So tender and tasty. Definitely going to order that next time. We forgot about the concretes and cheese curds, adding that to our "want to try list." Both kids had milkshakes to drink, which they loved. My son got me a chocolate soft serve waffle cone. It was HUGE! The ice cream and cone were great and such a treat. My husband is so jealous he missed out so we are going to try and come back soon.

Eddie Z here again. Came in for 2 cod sandwiches ,one with steamed broccoli and 1 with French…read morefries.mine was terrible and undercooked and too small. As was the tiny order of French fries.all this junk for $21.00. My steamed broccoli was way better than my fish sandwich so I would suggest you getting that off the menu and sticking to burgers which by the way,I love your butter burgers.

The hostess greeted us immediately upon walking in and showed us to our table. Their kids menu is nice and simple (burger, tenders, grilled cheese and even salmon). My kiddos chose the classic chicken tenders and fries. Their meals came out pretty quickly. Each plate came with three large tenders and a very generous amount of fries (which were well seasoned and tasted great). My husband and I started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip. It was nice and warm and was also a great portion size. It would probably be sufficient for four people to share. The entrees took a while to come out, but in their defense, they got really busy. For my entree, I tried the Shrimp New Orleans. The presentation was great and again, it was a nice side. Although the meal tasted fine, I'm not sure about "the best on the menu". The service was great. All staff members were professional and attentive. The dining room and restrooms were clean. I love the patio and breezeway seating for nice days. Overall, I enjoyed our visit.
