    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

    This is my go to for a Philly cheesesteak! You can't go wrong, you get a good portion of meat on…read morethe regular.

    We were in the area and decided to have Big Dave's for lunch…read more The space is small, but they have a few tables inside that you can sit and enjoy your meal if you choose. You walk up to the counter and place your order, we were the only ones there at the time so ordering was fairly quick. The young lady that took our order was polite and patient with us while we decided what we were going to order. I ordered the steak cheesesteak Dave's way with no onions, and added mayo, lettuce and tomatoe. They have a few items listed for dessert, but we were told that they were out of the banana pudding at the time. Our food was cooked to order and was piping hot when we received it. They placed my lettuce and tomatoes in a separate container which I'm grateful they did, because the lettuce was old and had a brownish tint to it. The cheesesteak was cheesy and really good. As I was eating I just noticed how dirty the place seemed. Although the staff were nice on their downtime every one was on their phone. I think they could have used that time to clean off the sticky tables, swept and mopped the floor etc. Everything just looked a bit dirty. Service was decent and fast, the food was freshly prepared and tasted great. Sanitation was a 96, not great but not bad either. If they could clean this place up and keep up with it, I could see myself coming back more often. Happy my bestie brought me by to give it a try!
