This was my first visit, and I can't say enough great things about this place…read more The atmosphere is fantastic, with both indoor and outdoor seating options (we chose to sit inside). The hostess and our waitress were incredibly friendly, and we shared plenty of laughs--she truly made the experience even more enjoyable. Then came the highlight of the meal: the burger. Simply put, it was the best burger I've ever had. Having lived in New York, Florida, and Colorado, I've tried my fair share of burgers, and this one stands above the rest. After my first bite, I turned to my friend and said, "I think I'm in heaven!" It was that good. I rarely eat red meat, but I'm already thinking about when I can go back--maybe even tomorrow. Everything we ordered was excellent--the beer, the salad, the perfectly crispy fries--but the burger was truly exceptional. This is easily a five-star experience.

You could just make a meal of them. If you want knife and fork food there's not a lot of options bit the smothered chicken is pretty good. The burgers and Philly won't disappoint. The fries are really good both regular and sweet potato. The atmosphere is nice with a great looking bar, heated outdoor area in back, plus the gas fire pits which get a good crowd around on a cool night. It's great to have a place like this in Cherryville. I always see someone I know there.

This place is a dive. It's been around since 1943, that's 81…read moreyears if your wondering. Back in the day when the textile mills were spinning and Carolina Motor Freight was trucking, this was 'the place'. If you drive by this place, you would swear its' closed. Even when it's open, the neon 'open' sign does not even light up. It used to be a 'sit down' restaurant but since COVID it's take out only. The exception is if you are a local law enforcement officer. They don't even serve milk shakes anymore. Yet somehow, people come from far and wide to get a Lottaburger. To be honest, it's really not even that great of a burger. They add slaw and a pickle and you can't leave it off because they don't do special orders and that is considered a special order. Leave your plastic and your apps in your vehicle, it's CASH and carry only. If you go, call ahead and order, otherwise on a busy day you'll wait for 20 minutes. A word of advice, if it's Friday at 5p. just forget about it and go to McD's down the street.

(1982) and it has ALWAYS been a FAVORITE of my family! My grandpa grew up in the area, many of his 14 siblings that remained there, so every Saturday(they were open Sat. then) him and I would go visit one of them, then go by THE SHAKE SHOP otw home, for a HUGE to go order!!! Often times they thought our huge to-go order was a prank bc it was huge! Like 40 grilled cheese- 25 bbq- 10- CB!!! Once we told them the name, they'd have it READY when we got there!!! Awesome service ALWAYS! I have GREAT memories of this small family restaurant, and the atmosphere is continually the SAME! Small town friendly and awesome food! Who could ask for more!?!?

When we first moved to Gaffney 1 1/2 yrs ago, we found this little gem. We were literally ordering…read moreat least twice a week from there. The hotdogs were great and the chili was just right. Their fries then tasted good as well. This lasted for about 4-5 months. Then, one night we ordered and everything was wrong. Nothing tasted like it did before. The fries were fried in stale grease (can tell by color and taste). We didn't go back. Well, tonight I decided to give them a shot again. Needless to say, it was just as bad as the last time. Fries dark brown and gross. Hotdogs nor the chili tasted like they did when we first found them. No lie, my dog wouldn't eat the hotdog part I NEVER give bad reviews, but with times being harder and food being so expensive, I would hope someone would level with me. I'm not sure if there was an ownership change or food service change. Whatever happened around a year ago was NOT a change for the better.

The lively atmosphere, live music, and pickleball courts are modern. The food is excellent and fresh The meats are excellent because they have a butcher on-site with a variety. The burgers were tasty and the fries were crispy. Service was quick, accurate, and cheerful. There are pickleball courts behind the building that are clean and maintained well. Parking was generous and had easy handicapped accessible. The restrooms were cleaned, hot water, and well supplied. I highly recommend Some reviews mention the service can be slow.

The combination of attentive service, high-quality steaks, and a standout bourbon selection makes it a spot worth seeking out in Valdese.[1][2][3] ## Service and Hospitality Austin provided friendly, knowledgeable service, with spot-on recommendations and consistent follow-up throughout the meal, which really elevated the evening. The staff quickly seated the party of four and acknowledged the celebration for the wife's birthday, helping the night feel special from the start. When one filet needed a bit more sear, the owner personally stepped in, oversaw the re-fire, and had it returned to the table cooked perfectly. That level of ownership and responsiveness showed real commitment to **hospitality**. ## Food and Preparation Entrées arrived beautifully plated and cooked to appropriate temperatures, which is especially important at a butcher-driven concept known for its meats. The corrected filet came back with the ideal sear and doneness, reinforcing confidence in the kitchen's skill.[2][1] Portioning and presentation aligned with expectations for a farm-to-table steakhouse, highlighting the quality of their locally sourced meats.[3][1] ## Bourbon Library The bourbon library is a major highlight, offering an impressive selection of hard-to-find bottles that adds a distinctive draw for whiskey lovers. It pairs perfectly with their meat-focused menu and makes Highlands Butchery feel like a destination, not just a neighborhood spot.[4][1][2] Having such depth behind the bar also supports Austin's recommendations, allowing guests to explore pours they may not encounter elsewhere. ## Atmosphere and Noise The only real drawback of the evening was the room volume, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. Given how popular and lively the space can be, some additional noise baffles or acoustic treatments could help deaden the sound and make the dining room more comfortable without losing the energetic vibe. With that one improvement, this experience would easily move from a 4.5 to a full 5 out of 5, especially given the strength of the service, food, and bourbon program!

My Husband and I did not go inside because it was raining but you could also tell everyone gets in and gets out. We did not see one person to pull up and stay to eat after getting their order, everyone pulled off right away. Overall, the workers were kind and the food was amazing.
