We love this sandwich shop in Mooresville! Even though it’s a little out of our way, it’s always worth the trip. We now make a point to drive there on Saturdays. The sandwiches are huge and packed with flavor, and the chips on the side are just as good. We’ve been here a few times now and it has never disappointed. We have not yet come for breakfast but the menu looks equally spectacular and we take a piece of their legendary crumb cake to go every time. If you’re looking for a fantastic lunch spot, this is it—highly recommend!

I got the firebird press and the sandwich was amazing. That is all great sandwich. Really good turkey sandwich. You go and you like black pepper turkey get the pinebird fresh. I don't know if it's the cheese or the turkey but it got a nice little kick to it too. Also, I got paid a little coffee that's like a frappe from McDonald's. I got an extra shot of espresso. I don't know coffee in it though. It taste so good. I should have waited about an hour to review the coffee. See if it's working or not but that sandwich amazing. Ultimate breakfast Burrito is also Eggcellent.

5 stars all the way around. You’re greeted with good energy when you walk in. The owner and staff are always so kind! A great selection of breakfast and lunch. One of my favorite things is to get the “slaw” on the side and ad chicken = chicken salad 👌. Delicious food (large portions), great owners and great staff.

My wife and I were looking for a local place for breakfast while visiting Mooresville. We stopped by The Counter and we were very impressed. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice and the food tasted great. We had the Maple Pancake Latte, Cali Toast and Fried Eggs with Fruit. We liked it so much we came back 5 days later! Would highly recommend!

Delicious food, even had this salad two days in a row, and I don't ever want a salad. Wonderful staff, beautiful aesthetic, and tons of options 🙏🏼
