    Wow! First time having lunch here and will be returning! This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! My friend ordered a custom salad and said the same thing about hers! Service was quick, food was made fresh, people were enjoying the food and their company in the resturant. Such a cute place. 10/10 breakfast & lunch!

    Turkey Sandwich in Kaiser roll.
    Dan M.

    This place popped up on my Yelp feed. I don't think I had ever gone to a Yelp Feed place before. But I was excited because there are bagels! Aside from here, there are only two good bagel places in the area. One is far and the other doesn't have the friendliest customer service. So I was happy to find The Counter. While at the counter at The Counter, they asked my name. I literally didn't know what to say: Dan or Tyler (pen name). At this point, 95% of people call my Tyler. It has unintentionally taken over my life. Somehow, this led to a mini life conversation at the counter at The Counter. Both employees were super chill and friendly. And we agreed on some life philosophies. For the food, the bagel was super buttery, which was great. I don't know why I love butter so much but I own it. Respect to the anti-herd butter crowd. The Turkey Sandwich on a Kaiser Roll (reminds me of sitting at a table by a pool in Florida) was very good, and the seasoned chips are made in-house. Most people would choose the sandwich and chips, and that makes sense. But I will go with the bagel on future visits--gotta get that butter! Definitely recommended.

    Classic egg Sammy
    Angie P.

    Great little spot in Mooresville! The classic egg sammy is a definite must. Look at all that deliciousness! And I wasn't expecting such a hearty breakfast sandwich, it was a nice & filling surprise! The roll was soft & bacon cooked just right. The egg was perfect! I also got a caramel latte. It was tasty, too. The lady that took my order & made my coffee was super sweet, too! Cute ambiance inside with plenty of seating. They also have outside seating. Prices are reasonable & they serve breakfast & lunch. I can't wait to go back & try lunch!

    We've heard lots about this new cafe/restaurant on social media. We were glad to try it and were so happy about our lunches! Each of the sandwiches were huge and flavorful! The place started to fill up shortly after noon. They have some seating inside and outside tables as well. There's parking in the plaza. Can't wait to go back to try more off their menu!

    BLT and pasta salad
    Annie V.

    If you are a fan of BLT sandwiches! Please stop no further; We ordered lunch from here from work; let me tell you very quick and so good. I've had to wait to eat my lunch and my sandwich was still in tact delicious. I need to find out where they get their bacon, that's how good this sandwich was! It comes with a side of pasta salad, perfect portion because I am about to destroy this sandwich; Please like my review and others on my page Keeping reviews real

    Heard about the Counter from some friends and wanted to try it out. Went over for lunch on the weekend and it was a great experience. I had the Meatball Sub and my wife had the Godfather. Both sandwiches were pretty amazing. The portions were good and the food quality was on point. Service was really good. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. I was really happy with the experience and look forward to the next visit. I just wish we lived closer. Great job and please support this business.

    I'll have to try The Counter again. I've heard good things about their sandwiches, so perhaps we didn't order their best (salad and a tuna wrap). I will say the carry out service was quick and efficient, and the restaurant is always full of diners.

    Catering order

    The Counter was definitely a missing piece in the Charlotte deli scene. I recently had a catering order for my Uptown office of 100+ employees. Ordering was a breeze and they were very accommodating to a couple of dietary restrictions I had requested. My staff is asking when are we having them cater again. You gotta try the Godfather Sangweech, it's massive, meaty and delicious! Everyone was raving about the house-made pastrami sandwich too! The bread they use...is absolutely wonderful. For my next order I'm definitely going to try their Lox extraordinaire. Thank you for bringing tasteful food to the Charlotte area!

    The pastrami sandwich was good a little fatty, but the bread was very fluffy and lightly toast and the mustard was very good

Nothing has changed--just that I gave three stars instead of two. I guess I'm in a good mood. As far as taste, it doesn't exist. I'm from Long Island and these are nothing like Long Island bagels. I hate to say that because the people were friendly. However, how friendly are they really if it's almost $9 for three bagels? This would be a good time to point out something I learned in life. Don't trust the nice people--they have an agenda. It's all manipulation. Trust the respectfully authentic people. I ate the Poppy Bagel but it wasn't very enjoyable. I couldn't even one quarter of the sesame bagel. I hate to write this but my loyalty is to the customer. In the poker world, my loyalty was to the poker player opposed to the poker rooms. This led to people being afraid to hire me. Instead, they hired very 'active' women. Lol. Good luck with that! I ain't no sell out. 99% of people I have met don't understand how I don't kiss ass for the money. I have my reasons. We got off bagels, didn't we? My bad! This place has a friendly staff but that's their job to get the money. Prices are high, signage is poor (losing business), and bagels are tasteless. Sorry! I would prefer to help businesses but this ain't the joint.
