Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Cornelius

Food and service were excellent. Love how the food is served tapas style so everyone can order something different and try things. The Cajun oysters are amazing and the remoulade for the crab cakes is some of the best I’m had with a nice little kick to it. We also had the scallops with butternut squash risotto that was fabulous. Ended the night with a Moose Track expresso martini that was delicious. Will definitely be back again

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday!! I was a great night! With great food and service!!

We’ve dined many times at Choplin’s and recently noticed a lot of nice changes. We dined with our family of 10 for Christmas Eve and the place was buzzing but the staff handled things very well. There was one table next to ours that complained about food taking awhile, but what do you expect during a packed restaurant on Christmas Eve?? We were just happy Choplin’s was open so we didn’t have to cook dinner at home! I’m sharing this because people need to have better expectations. It’s not a fast food restaurant folks. Choplin’s will always be our spot to celebrate with family because even with the tremendous growth they’ve had, the food has remained perfection, the staff are warm and friendly and the service and experience continues to be top notch! Bravo to the owners for keeping this lovely gem one of the best around and more importantly, for all you do in the community! God bless you for years to come! See you again soon for our next family celebration!

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.

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.
