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!

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.

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.

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

Aloha Smash Burger with Fried Pickles
Sydney M.

Food is always delicious! Relatively fast, and customer service is phenomenal! With their great menu prices and tasty food varieties, you cant go wrong with this place! They have a cute patio out back, a bar and a few tables for inside seating

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

$4 taps!! Great craft beers. Founders and Bell's!!…read more $11.99 1/2 pound burger and fries. Terrific service and clean!! We will be back

Your hostesses need coaching on paying attention. Granted, I had a long day at work and just…read morewanted a descent meal. I walked at around 6:00 pm. Not busy by comparison to a Friday night. The hostess asked the number in the party. "Just me". There were plenty of tables available. After about 3-4 minutes of Fumbling around, (keep in mind they were not busy ). another hostess, with a long green scarf wrapped around her head to look like a gypsy, looked at me, took me around to the right side of the restaurant, and did not even bother to seat me at the table. The Following conversation below explains the reason I feel the way I feel. Keep in mind I was Asked if I wanted a Hi-top table. The hostess says. "Hi-top" ?? I said...." Sure...." She walks me past the bar towards the bathroom and sticks me a 2 seater table that was dark as crap. Not a hightop. So dark that I sat down and pulled out my phone in order to use the light to read the menu. I say.... "How about that table right there, pointing to the HIGH-Top in the bar... She says..." this is where I need to seat you for service.... ". ???? Since when can you not get service at a bar hightop??? I sit down.... I try to read the menu in the dark .. a waitress walks by me about 4 times ... no acknowledgment not even a how are you. Just walked past .... I get up and leave everything at the table and walk out .... so much for a decent meal and leaving a server a very decent tip. Never again .... I would not even post this if it had not been that this is the second time I've been to Duckworth's and service has just been horrendous. I'm not sure if it's because there is a group of regulars that go there and love the establishment, and gives them high scores but as someone who visits every now and then, and each time over the last six months has received horrible service I just don't understand. The food is not that great, and the service is even worse. I would not recommend this restaurant at any time of the day or night not until they can get either staffing needs straightened out or better food .

Food was definitely pricey. I ended up getting the spicy…read moresouth and it was very good! Staff were friendly and attentive and sitting outside was a very nice experience! Area has ample parking and has some shaded parking/street parking at the front. Planning to come back!

FWIW: don't let anyone tell you that you can't put a price on your health, it's a dollar up-charge from fries to a salad which was a dollar up from the standard slaw... and the raspberry vinaigrette will fight the cidery blueberries all the way - but it's a good salad for a buck each way ;-) BWB burger represents the breed well coming out on a toasted bun with the standard and customary toppings on top and a knife through its head. really, the only thing I'd do different is ask for a small handful salad lettuce instead of the shredded because it eats better that way. attentive team-service which could get annoying but it didn't and the salad to burger transition was executed quite nicely. price point is not abusive and I'm feeling pretty full up as I finish up and get ready to leave. we did alright today and I don't have a reason to derate so I won't :-)
