Lake Norman Tavern

Lake Norman Tavern isnt exactly hidden because of its blue exterior, but it is a real gem! The menu is extensive with so much good stuff, I asked if we’d be coming back (YES) so I could plan ahead. The top shelf margaritas were big and delish! The food is wonderful and Taylor’s service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Her outgoing personality really suits her. My friend got the Cod Fish and Chips and I got the Fried Clam Po Boy with fries. The fries were crunchy and the clams were tender. Everything was delicious! We got salads to go for our dinner later and they were good too! I got the grilled shrimp spinach salad with candied pecans, red onions, roasted red peppers, bacon and hot bacon dressing! Julie got the California Cobb with grilled chicken, balsamic and lots of other good stuff.

Ashley provided excellent service. There were 5 in our party and almost all plates were completely eaten. 3 of us ordered 3 different tacos. 1 person did not like their tacos but others finished them. Flour tortillas should be warmed. I noticed all of them came out cold. The temperature was actually too cold inside. We had to go outside to thauh out. Atmosphere was okay for an old tavern but I was expecting something different. Everyone was polite and helpful. Dinner and beverages were good.

This pub is solid! It’s got all the usual pub grub—burgers, wings, nachos—and it’s all just really good. Nothing fancy, but totally hits the spot. Plus, they’ve got a pretty solid beer lineup with some local stuff mixed in, so you’ll always find something good to drink. The vibe is super chill, and the bartender is awesome—just one of those friendly, down-to-earth ladies who makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time there. If you’re ever looking to grab a beer and some comfort food, this is definitely the spot.

How do I describe this place? Average? The food was average pub fare, the atmosphere was average, and at least during our visit the service was very engaged, albeit not particularly versed at serving food at the proper time. My theory is that the majority of accolades being earned here are from people who live near and beyond it on B school road as a drinking and hangout location since there are practically no other options beyond it.

Can't believe we have never been here until now. It the place I have been looking for. Nice little place you feel comfortable in and they had live music. The singer sounded awesome and had the volume perfect that you could enjoy your dinner and have a conversation with the music playing. Got the Seafood platter and it didn't disappoint. Perfect size and the see salad that came with it was really good with the raspberry vinaigrette. Love they have raspberry vinaigrette which is my favorite and not offered in many places. Will definitely be back to try more
