There were only a few tables & when we arrived there wasn't anyone there. We ordered off the board behind the register and sat down at a table. The table was sticky. After a bit the food came out. I think I ordered brisket & my wife had a pulled pork sandwich. I don't remember what the kids had. They seemed to enjoy it though. The BBQ didn't stand out for me despite the numerous awards on the wall. Their sweet tea, however, was the best I've ever had. That was worth the drive from Charlotte.

They used to have a sign that said "No WiFi, talk to each other," But didn't see it this time around. Anyways, Linebergers is a great spot to eat at if you are looking for some good food in the Lake Norman-Mooresville area. This is a fairly casual steakhouse, so if you don't dress up you won't be the odd ball in the room, but you certainly have a choice. Every server is fantastic. They are friendly, they treat you like family, and are quick. To my knowledge, almost every entree comes with a trip to the salad bar. They have the BEST salad bar. DO NOT SKIP ON THE SALAD BAR! They also give you warm rolls with "Texas Roadhouse style" honey butter to start. I highly recommend the prime rib as an entree. Don't get me wrong, it's not the absolute best prime rib I have ever had, but it is up there. It has great flavor, is seasoned well, and is tender. Their creamy horseradish is just ok, but that does not ruin the quality of the meat. The last couple of times they put chopped onions in my mac-and-cheese, which was weird and didn't taste good at all, but luckily this time there were no chopped onions. Both my older and younger cousins got the mac-and-cheese also, and one said that the cheese was too bland, while the other said that the cheese was too strong (sharp). Me personally I think that it is on the more bland side, so Linebergers can take that advice and apply it into their recipe, but nonetheless it is still good. They have the best dessert called the "Lake Norman Mudd Pie," which is essentially a layer of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and Oreo pieces. It is a good treat to have every once in a while, but is rich!! But, if you want a sweet treat, I would recommend opting for that. As a summary, the hospitality at Linebergers is unbeatable and has some pretty solid food (don't forget about the incredible salad bar). Once again, if you are in the area, do not miss out. Head to Linebergers! You will not be disappointed.

Several other items were in places I didn't expect. They had a great selection of everything I was looking for. I was especially impressed by the meat department. We were at the lake and our kitchen isn't conveniently stocked like our kitchen at home. They had pre-made kabobs that were already marinated. They had different choices of marinate flavors. They had beef or chicken. It really made grilling easier. The store was well stocked and clean. The employees were motivated and cared about customer service. This is my new go-to store at the lake!

Best departments: meat, fish (and good sushi and bowls) and bakery. Worst department: produce. Nice workers but vegetables and fruit are often out dated or go bad quickly.

Best part is that it is always easy to find someone to help you find any given product.

Located right on Lake…read moreNorman, the scenery is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here--it's the kind of place where the sunset almost makes you forget you're reading a menu the size of a phone book. The inside was decorated in a fun lake theme! Red flag alert: the menu is massive. I'm a firm believer that no kitchen can master everything from A to Z, and Toucan's kind of proves the point. It was "just okay," maybe as much as good but not quite GREAT but the Shrimp Platter actually held its own! The shrimp were huge, well-seasoned, and the rice and beans were a surprising highlight. The real MVP of the night, though, was our waitress. Managing a party of 15 is usually a recipe for disaster, but she was a total pro. Every order was correct, the food arrived hot, and our drinks never hit empty. Go for the lake vibes and the stellar service, stay for the shrimp, but maybe keep your expectations for the rest of that giant menu in check. A solid choice for a big group outing! We would return for sure next time we'll try a !

The cocktails looked refreshing, but overall were just okay taste-wise. Food was decent, nothing bad but nothing that really stood out either. Service was unfortunately the biggest downside. We waited quite a while for someone to greet us outside, even though there were only a couple other tables. I finally went inside to find a server and noticed the staff all gathered together while there weren't any tables inside. Overall, I'd come back for the view and atmosphere, but not necessarily for the food, drinks, or service.

It was a beautiful day, and the atmosphere of sitting outside on the deck overlooking the waterfront was absolutely perfect. Relaxing views, great weather, and a laid-back vibe made for an awesome experience. The food was great too! She started with the Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap appetizer and absolutely loved that it came with a side of asparagus -- and honestly, the asparagus was delicious. The only downside was she forgot to ask for no onions on the wrap, so she only had a few bites, but that definitely wasn't the restaurant's fault. I actually took the rest home for lunch at work the next day, and it was really good. For her main meal, she ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and truly enjoyed it. I started with the wings and tried the Italian Garlic sauce -- first time I've ever seen that flavor offered anywhere -- and it was delicious! For my main course, I went with the BLT and was very happy with my choice. Overall, between the food, the service, and the waterfront atmosphere, this was a really enjoyable experience and a great place for a lunch date. We'll definitely be back.

The drinks: The two girls ordered Miami Vice and I ordered a Rum Runner. The Vices were not frozen the strawberry puree was not a puree and the pubs colada potion tasted like whip cream - had to return them they were so bad. My Rum Runner was meh at best. The Bahama Mamma wasn't much better as the mix of the drink was way off compared to the liquor. My beer was barely cold. The food: Appetizers: Fried pickles and fried Mac & Cheese bites - both delicious My blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich was delicious and was cooked to perfection. My onion rings were huge but way undercooked. My wife's buffalo chicken salad very little flavor except the chicken pieces themselves. Huge amounts of ice berg lettuce but mostly the bitter white parts. Very little other greens at all. Our friends Mahi Mahi Tacos were delicious. Service: Food and drinks were served relatively fast & our server was attentive. I did find her annoyingly over the top. She kinda ruined the whole relaxing vibe. Our total bill was $118.00 (they did not charge us for the 2 bad drinks) Overall, not worth the drive. The view of lake Norman is so-so unless you're right along the railing. We were just very underwhelmed.
