Best Lunch Restaurants in Lake Norman

Choplin Steakhouse delivered an extraordinary dining experience that we won’t soon forget. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a memorable evening. We started our meal with the scrumptious crab cake bake, which was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. It was the ideal way to begin the meal and showcased the restaurant’s commitment to quality and taste. For our main course, we ordered the filet mignon and salmon, both cooked and seasoned to perfection. Each bite was a culinary delight. The sides were equally impressive—especially the Brussels sprouts and goat cheese, which were hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. Our server, Watson, elevated the experience even further. His attentiveness, kindness, and knowledge of the menu made us feel like VIPs. His wine and dessert recommendations were spot on, rounding out the meal with a decadent finish. Choplin Steakhouse is truly a gem. The exceptional food, impeccable service, and inviting atmosphere make it a place I will eagerly return to and recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience.

Candy was our server, and had been in the past. She is wonderful... Friendly. Chairs much more comfortable in main dining room than in the back room. We were in there 2 days before. Cannot sit there again because of a bad back.

Food was delivered quickly and very tasty. Service by Tad was wonderful. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

Our family had a nice time celebrating my daughter's birthday. The food was great and we had a very attentive server. The charred carrots are delicious and paired well with the tomahawk pork chops.

The Port City is one of my new faves! I just love the Orange Julius and Lobster dumplings though only four at $5 each is bit much since I would love them as a meal!!!! The Chili Crusted Seared Tuna is amazing!!! Hope to make it a monthly stop.
