    Shann was so fantastic! She was super attentive, super sweet. I would come back! She was on point and made you feel like this place is a home! Good came out hot and perfect! Never felt rushed. Just moved to the area and I would defiantly come back again.

    If you're a NASCAR fan, it's a must visit place in Mooresville. Food is great. Service is exceptional. I appreciate Kristina's warm hospitality.

    Fried Pickles, excellent

    You rarely, if ever, find Eastern NC BBQ anywhere near this far west, but you can find it here, the restaurant proclaims! But it is not really Eastern N C BBQ - they do not cook whole hog, they cook with gas, and as served the rather coarser chopped pork has little if any vinegar taste- there is a vinegar and pepper sauce on the table. The slaw is labeled Mustard Slaw which is definitely not an Eastern N C BBQ staple. It is much like the mayo and mustard based slaw that was served for over 50 years by Bill Spoon's BBQ in Charlotte. This was not bad BBQ, but it is more a hybrid NC cue, a bit like Hursey's in Burlington, except for the slaw. I might try it again if in the immediate area, but this is not destination pig. The Brunswick Stew was ok, but the veggies were of the frozen variety. The Fried Pickles and Fried Mushrooms are excellent, as is the Ranch dipping sauce. Point: this is NOT Pulled Pork, it is Chopped Pork BBQ!!!

    Great food! Rhiannon took good care of us!! A must for every NASCAR fan! I totally enjoyed Tom's Twisted Tater chips!!

    Service by Yaz was great! Prices are very affordable and food was tasty. And if you like NASCAR you will love the ambiance.

    Shrimp Dinner with a few hushpuppies, but completely missing my side order of French fries.

    I just left a review about Lancasters a week ago about ordering from them and not receiving one of the side items I paid for. Well, I decided to give them another chance. I ordered a Shrimp Dinner with 2 pieces of fried corn (which I had to call them to make sure they didn't forget again) AND I paid for a small order of French fries. Doordash brings me the order, and, of course, they forgot something AGAIN. Not only were my shrimp overcooked, but they completely forgot to give me my french fries. Needless to say, eating fried shrimp with only fried corn is NOT great. I literally ordered a dinner with an extra order of fries (so only 2 things total) and they still screwed up the order. So, going back 6 months, this is the 3rd straight time Lancasters has messed up a very simple order. Its even morw frustrating when you have to wait an hour to get the food that you paid 30% more for bc you had it delivered and then you dont even get what you paid for. Idk who does the employee hiring there, but clearly someone, or multiple people there, have no idea what theyre doing. And for any of you people thinking well, maybe it was super busy.....NOPE. i ordered my food at 4pm when no one is ordering food. So that excuse doesnt work here. Lancasters has probably lost a customer for life now. Im sick of ordering and only getting 2/3 of what I paid for repeatedly​

    10/10 atmosphere if you're a NASCAR fan. I'm from texas and very stuck up about my superior Texas BBQ but for a NC spot this place is fun, filling and delicious. And let's just be honest, you can eat animals sitting in a Dale Earnhardt themed school bus. If this isn't the greatest country in the world I don't know what is. Support America and check this place out. Heather was great.

    Pulled pork, wings, mac &cheese, fried okra

    If you're a NASCAR fan this is a must stop! There is plenty of decor to see, the food is AMAZING (I'm a very picky eater) portions are a good size and I highly recommend the loaded float for a yummy adult beverage. Our server Lisa was so sweet & friendly and was able to give great food recommendations or answer any other questions we had. This was our first time here and she never got impatient with the amount of time it took for us to order and our drink glasses never got low. I will definitely ask for her again when we come back.

    The service and the atmosphere were amazing! Christine was very helpful with my first time exploring the menu. Garlic parm on the wings was the move!

    Awesome atmosphere! We are a racing family , so we really enjoyed the all of the racing decor! Kristina was our server and she was fantastic! The manager checked on us to make sure our experience was great! We especially loved the cheese curds!

    Hush puppies (complimentary) but ordered tartar for the side

The menu is extensive so be prepared to be indecisive. Everything looked really good though. Some items we got were better than other unfortunately. Fish and chips- the fish was plentifully but the batter was hard and not seasoned well and the tartar sauce was not tartar sauce. Burger and fries- missing seasoning Seafood platter- seasoning was a miss Hush puppies- more flour than cornflour so a soft puppy and again seasoning was off. Zuppe di Pesci- excellent pasta, sauce was salty and seafood was cooked great. Kids tenders- good Overall, the experience was good. Would return and try different things. Wish the seasonings were on point but perhaps it was the time of day but we can try again.

Finally Seaboy was chosen for a girls night and I went open minded. - The grill oysters, 5/5: just amazing, with my favorite being the creole flavored. I could eat 10 as a snack. I've been dreaming about the oysters. - Fried fish Cheek, 5/5: tender, flaky, great crunchy breading and not heavy. - Tuna Crudo, 4/5: as someone who is usually not a fan of raw fish, the flavor on this one makes me bypass the raw texture. Great hint of spice and nice freshness with the oranges. - Lamb Ragu, 4/5: homemade pasta and tender lamb. - Croquettes, 5/5: just tasty - Scallop Toast, 2/5: hard to taste any scallops and felt very oily. - Octopus, 2/5: our plate had 3 nice sized pieces, was cooked nicely but not much flavor. - Banana Bread dessert, 5/5: great texture and just delicious - Key Lime dessert, 5/5: deconstructed and just fresh and different. The service is top notch, attentive and friendly. I've been here 2 times in a month and it is packed every day of the week. There was a slight mix up with our oyster order which we didn't care about because we were in a deep yap session but they ended up comping our least favorite item ordered because they said we were chill overall which surprised us because all we said was it wasn't our favorite. Very excited that this place is close by and that the food lives up to the hype!

He also had the lobster risotto and the lobster loaded mashed potatoes. He said everything was amazing! I had the fried lobster and shrimp with the lobster bisque. The bisque was good with slightly too much sherry but after awhile you didn't even notice. Good sized chunks of lobster throughout an silky smoothie! Fantastic!

It looks like something direct from US Foods and thrown in a fryer. The service and the restaurant policies are so opposite of customer focused. They do not have outdoor service even though they have about 15 tables out. Apparently those are for "waiting" for an inside table. We brought our dog so planned to sit outside as we had done before. No longer an option but you can order to go. I was exhausted so and just wanted a nice dinner I didn't have to cook so I ordered to go. However, you cannot eat your food at their "waiting" tables. After we received our to go order I was told I had to move to a different area to eat the food: All of though the tables outside were open. The hostess should get an award for smiling while being so rude. Oh and someone came in with a service dog that was questionable at best; however, the person showed the service dog card at which point the hostess asked what service the dog performed (has she heard of HIPPA?). Find another place if you want good food or service.
