    Summer Strawberry Salad with grilled chicken
    Gerrie M.

    This is our second visit to this family owned restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and they seated us immediately. The service is attentive and friendly and the food is excellent! As always they ended the meal with complimentary homemade cookies

    If you look at my photos for this joint, you will find the absence of a turkey sandwich (ciabatta bread). I fully expected to include that photo but it was no longer in my roll. Maybe the government removed it. As far as my experience here... I had every intention of eating here but was met with who I would assume to be owner. He was super friendly and accommodating. He definitely assumed I was there for takeout since alone and he told me all about the menu and didn't try to sway me in any direction. This guy genuinely cares about his business and customers--and to a degree I rarely see. The food was super duper fresh! I mean, that is some of the freshest food in the LKN area! Only two problems... 1. Prices are way too high. 2. They forgot the tomatoes and mayonnaise. I'll be back though.

    We were on our way to visit close friends in South Carolina for the long Labor Day Weekend. We wanted to grab some lunch along the way and decided to search for a place to eat near Mooresville. We saw Blu Star and decided to check it out. After reading reviews we were aware it was a little more expensive but with their overall score of 4.2 stars with over 200 reviews, and knowing the Charlotte area is typically more expensive, we decided to stop in. The menu consists of burgers, salads, steak, seafood, and pasta. Yes, the prices may be a little higher than you might expect but the quality of the food and the experience are also important. We arrived about 12:30pm on a Friday afternoon and parked on the street nearby and walked inside. We were immediately seated in a booth and there were several other tables and booths already seated. We noticed the positive health score on our way to the table, 98.5, and it feels very clean, well kept, and welcoming. We were provided menus and offered drinks. We felt we had to try an order of their chips as an appetizer. We are both fans of hot chips and this is something we never saw living on the West coast. For our meals, my wife decided to get the Strawberry Summer Salad with Grilled Chicken and I chose the Bacon Cheeseburger with Mac & Cheese. The chips arrived quickly and were brought with ranch dressing without asking for it, which was appreciated. In my opinion, the chips appeared too uniform to be fresh, however, my wife thought our server said they were cut each morning. Either way, they hit the spot and disappeared quickly. Our entrees also arrived in a timely fashion as the place began to fill up. Everything looked and tasted delicious and we each enjoyed our meals. After we were finished, we were offered desserts which we declined. My wife saw something on the menu that every meal includes a cookie. A short while later someone came to our table with wrapped cookies and my wife chose a white chocolate Macadamia nut cookie and I chose chocolate chip. We thought they were both very good. Everything was good about this experience but there was nothing that really stood out. It was solid. Combine that with the price which was on the higher side. We may be back but it is not likely we will seek it out.

    My friend and I stopped here for a quick bite and we're very pleased with our lunch. We shared a chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread, toasted. The chicken salad was tasty and full of chicken, dried cranberries, celery and sliced almonds. This was filling and more than enough for both of us. We had a side of sweet potato fries that were cooked perfectly and we dipped those in a tangy honey mustard sauce. Who knew that would be a lovely compliment. One of their specialities at Blue Star is the trio burger. OMG - elk, bison and angus meat stacked high with cheeses, cooked to perfection. This burger is filled with flavor and sure to please anyone with an appetite. Blue star grill gives everyone a fresh cookie after your meal as a wonderful treat. We tried the oatmeal raisin and the chocolate macadamia nut. Both equally delicious. The service was superb today and we enjoyed the ambience too.

    Meatloaf
    Lisa K.

    Found this wonderful restaurant. It was amazingly good. We weren't seated very long when the owner of the restaurant came to our table and explained great things about the menu. No meat is ever frozen. All ingredients are always fresh. I ordered the meatloaf. It was made with Angus beef and had amazing flavor laid on a bed of mashed potato's with green beans. We also had the Mahi Mahi laid on a bed of rice with a great tasting sauce. The restaurant had a great feeling and was very calm inside. I definitely would give this a 5 star recommendation. Try it. It will not disappoint.

    All items we ordered were very good. I especially liked that there were many GF options to choose from. And the option to have a burger on a GF bun. The Shrimp Poorboy was excellent (Not GF)

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).

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.

Butterburger Deluxe with Onion Rings and a Turtle Concrete. The Turtle is not a menu item but we figured it out. Burger was awesome! First off they put the cheese under the patty which just makes sense! They also wrap it upside down. This is the way. If you know you know. No one does these little things. Thick pickles and onion which seemed like they were freshly chopped. Onion rings came with dipping sauce and were very nice. Curds were like the ones at Zaxbys just better. Price point for my family of 4 was very reasonable. This will be our new stop for burgers and frozen custard.

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 .

We came upon this place knowing it was in the area, and decided to try it. They allow you to seat yourself which is fine. They did not seem to be very busy at noon on a Saturday, but people were coming and going. All good. Our server came by quickly to ask about drinks and if we wanted any appetizers. We gave drink orders and said no to apps. It was the first time here, so I tend to look over the menu a little longer than usual, but, it was not that busy. The server came by to take our entree orders and we said we just need a few minutes to look over the menu. Within 1 minute, another server came by to take orders order. We said that we just told the server we need a couple minutes to look at the menu. I'm not sure what the rush was, but it made me feel like they must take orders immediately. For a casual place, with a great playlist by the way, they sure made me feel hurried. The first server came by in a good amount of time, so we finally placed our order. Our food came out pretty quickly. Everything looked really good. Nice portion sizes and the food was tasty. We got a summer lovin flatbread and the California panini chicken sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I wasn't too fond of the aoli. I thought it was a little thick. I think I would have preferred a honey mustard sauce for the fries. Also, the chicken was so thin on the sandwich you could hardly taste it. Sandwich was good but I expected more of a chicken cutlet as opposed to a flattened piece of chicken as you might get at the deli counter. My guy finished first, but I was still eating. The server comes by and asks what we're thinking for dessert. Again, rushed? I was still eating my lunch. We weren't ready to make that decision but now I wanted to finish and go, because, clearly it's the servers favorite table, and must have some attachment to it to be rushing the meal so much. I think the server needs to work on timing. If one in the party is still eating their food, would they really be discussing dessert yet? And to remind all who are reading: it wasn't a busy day yet. Only a few tables were occupied, so I will be docking a star for the service. Overall if not such a rushed experience, I would say: menu good, portions good, comfortable atmosphere. Nice place. Servers need extra training in timing and approach.
