    OG Philly and Salted Sweet Potato Fries
    Heather M.

    I was in Mooresville for a business trip and was staying at the Home2Suites next door. I wondered in to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food was! The salted sweet potato fries were a little overcooked, but the Philly could not have been any better. There isn't much seating inside, but I really liked the place. Service was good and the food was great.

    I love a good smash burger, and these are GOOD. I got the Mac and cheese burger and my friend got the Aloha burger and both were amazing! The onion rings weren't very good and I'm pretty sure they put hidden valley in a 2 oz container as "their" ranch. Besides that, we would definitely come back!

    Tater tots

    Tried Sumo Shack LKN yesterday. I've been looking for a good Chicago dog ever since Matt's Chicago Dog closed. This place didn't disappoint . The Chicago Dog was good. The Tater Tits were some of the best I've had in a long time. The fried pickles were also good. Give this place a try. Note... make sure to tell them if you do or do not want onions on the Chicago Dog.

    What a great time with our first experience at Sumo Shack and of course the Highway Bar. This bar was built in Chicago 1954 and moved here to NC! A must see. The food was amazing and look forward to going again.

    okay, welcome to sumo shack; like the love shack but sub out Fred Schneider and the B-52s' for kimchi fries and a proper chicago dog. can't have a bad time here: the overhead is midcentury stuff that is closer to big hair than big bands but there you go; the menu lists the food of my youth and that long skinny bar from a long skinny tavern south of the Skyway tells lies about summer days and indecision, starless nights too often in the company of torch singers and madmen... but for now my cardiologist says the only person here that might kill me is the fry-cook. so yeah: hot dogs, smash burgers, italian beef sammiches with the constant threat of tarted-up taters. barstools and fancy flooring and people trying to make sense of the odd little protuberances along the wall. the late afternoon air full up with samples of the most disreputable dance music in the best possible way and if I had my druthers I'd be here way too often. Maybe I'll Live Forever...

    Found this little gem while searching through Yelp one day. The food is fast and freshly made. And the staff is very friendly. Restaurant has recently undergone a renovation and put in a beautiful old Chicago bar. But the real stars here are the ooey gooey cheesesteaks. There are several different varieties and the loaded fries are also a must try.

    A perfect Chicago transplant. Even the bar look like Richard's on Halsted! Amazing food and the staff is so great.

    Onion rings

    The sandwiches were good but a little pricey. We got the large size too and it wasn't very big $17 for just the sandwich without the side is a lot. Their onion rings were also awful but could be because we got them to go. The breading wasn't even on them

    shrimp cocktail
    Trisha A.

    Amazing food and bar atmosphere! The shrimp cocktail, huge pretzel and practically all the menu is super, plus the drinks are also top notch The bar itself has also been bought and shipped out of Chicago ( I believe it was from the '50s!) which gives the bar a really unique atmosphere

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).

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.

We ordered spinach artichoke dip and chicken tenders for the kids. We were pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes. The appetizer was good, but nothing amazing. The chicken tenders were big and flavorful. Yet, the fries definitely stole the show. I'm not a fan of shoestring fries, but they were seasoned so well that I didn't mind. While our appetizer and kids' meals came out quickly, our entrees were a little slow to arrive. I ordered the salmon and fries, since I could steal any more from the kiddos. The salmon was a decent portion and seasoned nicely. However, it was slightly over cooked. Overall, the experience was good.
