Welcome to the Serve, the Cornelius answer to how to be active while enjoying good times with friends. Reserve one of their 10 pickleball court in their air conditioned room or grab one outside when it's not hot. There are also golf simulators, dining space, and event space so bring the whole crew to have fun and hang out. The courts are spaced out so groups can play and have a comfortable booth to sit and order food. Their bartender Krista was very engaging and happy to suggest a beverage with your favorite libation. We ate in the restaurant. My son enjoyed the kids chicken tenders. My wife and I enjoyed the short ribs grilled cheese and the bbq chicken pizza. There's a full breakfast and lunch menu and breakfast is available till 2 on Saturday so you have a variety of options to order. If you want to hang out as a family or with friends you'll have a great time at The Serve.

As someone with celiac disease, dining out can often feel stressful, but The Lakehouse in Cornelius…read morewas such a wonderful experience! From the moment I explained my dietary needs, the staff was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely careful about cross-contamination. I never once felt like my celiac disease was a huge inconvenience, which unfortunately can happen at other restaurants. And the food was delicious! My short rib plate was absolutely amazing, and I felt completely comfortable enjoying my meal. The atmosphere was also beautiful. We sat on the covered patio overlooking the lake, and it was such a relaxing and lovely setting. I'm so grateful to the team at The Lakehouse for making our experience feel easy, safe, and enjoyable. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, I highly recommend giving them a try. And even if you don't, the food, service, and atmosphere are all fantastic! Highly recommend!

I recently visited Torrence and Knox in Cornelius and came away with mixed--but mostly…read morepositive--feelings. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere and a welcoming vibe that makes it an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The location is convenient, and the space feels fresh, modern, and inviting. The service was also a highlight of the experience. Our server was friendly, attentive, and helped make the meal enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant is known for its casual yet upscale ambiance, which definitely came through during our visit.  Where the experience fell a bit short for me was the food. Everything was prepared well and perfectly edible, but nothing really stood out or felt especially memorable. It wasn't bad by any means--just not quite at the same level as the atmosphere and service. I went for the lobster tail ravioli, and it was just a bit too chewy for my taste. I was hoping for a dish that would make me eager to come back, but that didn't happen on this visit. I could, however, come back. I would give it a second chance and would like to try drinks from the bar.  Overall, Torrence and Knox is a great spot for the ambiance, service, and overall dining experience. If you're looking for a comfortable place to meet friends, enjoy drinks, or have a relaxed night out, it's definitely worth a visit. I'd return for the atmosphere alone and would be interested to try more of the menu in the future.

I really enjoyed my dinner here. The place was very busy and we made reservations as recommended…read more We had excellent service by Amanda who took care of everything as it was a birthday dinner. The nachos and dips were excellent. The salsa was tasty and the appetizer also came with a side of fresh guacamole and pimento cheese. The filet mignon was top-notch & cooked to perfection. I got the grouper special with a side of lemon butter sauce and crab. Absolutely delicious. The place is modern with a cool vibe. The only thing that took away from the experience was that it was very loud & noisy - the restaurant was packed and they had music playing on top of that so it was a bit much. There were a lot of servers helping with water refills and being very attentive. The customer service was excellent. Amanda brought out a brownie with ice cream with a candle on top when the birthday boy was outside taking a phone call, so she left her lighter so I could light the candle when he came back. It was these small touches that really made the evening special along with the fantastic food.

I had dined alone once and wanted to see if they could flip my first experience into a positive. They naturally missed the welcome attitude right away!!!! The hostess stand addressed us in a very annoying way. I asked if the bar was open seating she didn't even address us face to face just basically WHATEVER us As we got to the table, we were basically tackled by another staff yelling that we can't sit there as it's for a "regular who stepped out Literally walked off like we were criminals. I'm starting to feel heated. We get back to the hostess stand she had the perfect moment to apologize. Nope none whatsoever. It was that snarky entitled attitude that set me in. We sat down at a booth I lpoked at my husband and could tell how disturbed by the lack of service and awful treatment was taking a toll on him. We immediately addressed the manager about what we just went through. We definitely didn't need anything complimentary. Our suggestion is, please have people representing your company at the first point of contact to make positive first impressions the reflect the Southern Hospitality that makes this area SUPERB. We pulled it back together and went down the street to Paloma. A wonderful brunch, great staff. We will definitely return

Fresh Chef used to be my safe haven when it came to Cornelius dining. I've been coming here since 2015, and used to be obsessed with the kale. Unfortunately, that obsession has come to an end. The kale salad at this location has become a complete mess, with absolutely no consistency. One day it's basically unseasoned kale, the next it tastes like straight lemon, and another day it might be swimming in oil. 131 main and other fresh chef locations are still able to make the kale they way it's supposed to be made so I know you guys have it in you to do it right. Please dig deep and bring back the kale you were at one point known for.

The restaurant is located in a shopping center, but don't let that dissuade you, it still has a great pub vibe. They of course serve Guinness as well as harp and you can get yourself a black and tan, black and blue, or a snake bite. My favorite part is the alleyway entrance that leads to the back patio. It really elevates the atmosphere. The food was ok. I ordered a burger and unfortunately is was far overcooked. Someone at our table asked for their burger well done so I'm guessing they kept mine on as long as theirs was but I had asked for medium rare as that's how I typically like my burgers, medium at most. We were kind of on a time crunch and I'm not usually one to send food back having worked in a restaurant myself. I ate it and it was fine despite not being how I had asked for it. I would come back here if I was in the LKN area for a pint, not sure I would be running back to eat. Solid place for what it is though.

I had always heard about Lost Worlds Brewing…read more Well ... not always. It wasn't as though people stopped me on the street and shouted, "Hey, man! Have you heard about Lost Worlds?!" I imagined that being a long-coated homeless man grabbing my arm while shouting the above, but a homeless man couldn't afford a beer--unless he was homeless because he was an alcoholic (he begs for change until he can afford a beer.) But if that happened, would the staff at Lost Worlds kick him out? Tough call. It's a friendly and efficient staff but they would have to choose between friendly to one or comfortable for all. Fortunately, I have yet to experience this dilemma. Not referring to being homeless due to alcoholism (still possible) but coming across a homeless alcoholic in a long coat at Lost Worlds. Every time I have been here, it's laidback. Trying to stay away from beer due to fitness (drinking other things) but they do have some great beers on tap. The best value is Kama. Get that one.
