I had the Wed special turkey with stuffing and cranberry . It was fresh and I enjoyed it but the side of fried zucchini with ranch dressing was the star.

So - first of all - this place is now know. As the Mooresville Family House. Not sure when the new…read morename and management came but here we are. I started with the orzo tomato spinach soup with feta ($3.99). I wasn't sure what to expect as I get a pasta salad done similarly but I can tell you that I was highly impressed with the tomato based broth, the depth of the broth, creamy consistency of the orzo and pieces of fresh spinach. A side of crumbled feta accompanied it to toss in - and it definitely added to the flavors!!! I originally came here for the fried catfish - and it did not disappoint! Two pieces of fish, two sides (collards and broccoli cheese) and hushpuppies was $16.99. I had originally gotten the squash but I'm not a fan of breaded and fried. My server was gracious and let me swap it out. My service was quick, my server was the absolute sweetest and I'm already trying to figure out my next visit!

My niece treated me to Kindred for my birthday, and it felt like a true occasion from start to…read morefinish. Set right in downtown Davidson across from Davidson College, the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance--lively but still intimate. The menu evolves frequently, so what we saw differed from what's posted online--but that turned out to be part of the charm. Everything sounded appealing, and choosing wasn't difficult. Our server stood out immediately--deeply knowledgeable and able to walk through each dish with impressive detail, right down to preparation. It's easy to see why Kindred earned "Recommended" status in the inaugural Michelin Guide American South and continues to be recognized for top-tier hospitality and cuisine. We started with the Little Gem lettuce salad--fresh, bright, and elevated by the perfect crunch and subtle richness of pistachios. For my entrée, I had the rigatoni with guanciale, English peas, and pecorino sardo--rich, balanced, and full of flavor without being heavy. A memorable meal all around.

My cousin had something with gin and sage and her husband had an herbaceous drink with bourbon. To eat, We had the pickles, fried oysters, duck fat fries, momo chicken salad and cinnamon rolls! omg so good! I had the shrimp roll- a lobster roll but made with shrimp. Flavorful, light and refreshing! Everyone was happy.

Of course it was packed…read more They didnt take formal reservations to guarantee seating at a certain time, but you could call ahead and place your name on a list to get seated ahead of the crowd once you arrived. My daughter called and when we arrived, we were lucky and was seated right away as a table was coming open. Small inside footprint but cozy with a full bar. Also outdoor patio seating. The hostess, our waitress and the walk around staff refilling water was top tier. Excellent customer service. Our waitress wasbbomb, I hate i forgot her name. Even though the place was packed she tooknour order in a timely manner, and kept checking on us be9fre we got our food,.kept us informed that the kitchen was busy but she on it.

This must be a go to spot for locals but I am not impressed…read more The setup is cute and the staff is friendly but let me get into the real... the food. If you don't eat pork skip this place! Seriously. Everything has pork. I got a handheld egg sandwich with tomato and cheese on a croissant with their potatoes. Basic sandwich, dry and the cheese & tomato were an extra charge. The potatoes were hard like they're old. The mimosa was good, regular sparkling with pineapple juice. And their tip machine doubles the recommended amount so for my $9 mimosa it generates a +$3 tip at 18 % but it should have been under $2. Just wanted to point that out too. I won't be back.

I'll just have to try something new next time. everything was cooked to order so very fresh and the staff are very southern and friendly. Love this place and glad that walmart allow them to be in there versus way or something.

Famous Toastery - Davidson, NC…read more Let me just start this the only way possible... "Best breakfast everrrrrrrr." (Read that in Chris Tucker's voice from Friday ) Listen. I don't throw those words around lightly. I'm a breakfast professional. I've traveled. I've eaten. I've sacrificed stretchy waistbands for less. First of all Kayla J. Service? VIP. Celebrity status. I felt like I walked in with a security detail. The way she checked on us? I thought she was about to hand me a Grammy. Attentive, friendly, and faster than my metabolism trying to survive those portions. Now let's talk FOOD. The corned beef hash with potatoes and eggs? My goodness. The eggs were perfectly cooked -- that yolk broke open like it had something to prove. The corned beef? Crispy, juicy, seasoned like somebody's grandma was back there supervising the kitchen. The potatoes? Golden. Crunchy. Faith restored. And these portions?? They don't believe in small plates here. They believe in "Cancel your lunch plans" plates. I wasn't eating breakfast... I was entering a commitment. You know it's serious when you're halfway through and start negotiating with yourself: "Alright... one more bite... for America." And don't even get me started on the pancakes. Fluffy like they were trained in altitude. Powdered sugar falling like breakfast confetti. Absolute madness. Famous Toastery in Davidson isn't just breakfast it's a spiritual experience with syrup. 10/10. Would return. Would loosen belt again. If you're anywhere near Davidson and not eating here... you're playing yourself.

And the restaurant is nicely, decorated and lit low creating a somewhat romantic ambience. Food, though... Spinach artichoke dip was fantastic, especially if you like really really small portions. My medium rare steak was a hockey puck. Not a drop of pink. And the blue cheese was just sprinkled over the top with no heat applied. Could've just pulled that off my salad. As with the blue cheese, my mashed potatoes seemed like the toppings were added as an afterthought. Nothing about this meal integrated well. Both of the salads were just OK as well. Nothing that would get me out of the house. I won't be coming back unless I get a hankering for that tiny spinach artichoke dip.

Fantastic! Probably…read moreone of my favorite meals I've had in NC! Service was amazing from the host to the server. Everyone was amazing! Having never been there we relied on the server and he came through! He said he got us and surprised us with all amazing dishes from the apps to the main. Had the oysters - both steamed and Rockefeller and both were delicious! Awesome choice! For the entree my buddy had the stuffed cod and he said it was good! 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! The fried liver and shrimp were breaded and cooked perfectly! Nothing dry and everything perfectly moist. This place is a must try! If you're in the area and hesitant, don't be. It's fantastic! Great food and great vibes!

I made the mistake of giving this place a THIRD try but it was not a charm. Based on the reviews I…read morewas sure I just had it wrong but this place is terrible. The food cannot be fresh. 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.
