Abby was my waitress and she was very very good! (I live in DC and eat out all the time so have lots to compare with.) The appletini was good. The Duckhorn Cabernet was reliably good. The tenderloin steak was excellent. Salad was good. The veggies were under-cooked.

Our first time and everything was excellent. Service was professional and our server was Johnny and he was great. Putting up with me and my antics is sometimes hard to do but he was wonderful. I had the half rack of ribs and it was plenty. It is a returnable place for us

Very nice restaurant with separate bar area. Staff is very friendly, and they have nice selection of beer and drinks. The steaks were awesome, I had the filet and the wife had the ribeye. Perfectly cooked, and the sweet potato was great as well. We went very early for dinner and there was no wait, as we left they were filling up and I think reservations would be a good idea.

My.wofe and daughter took me.here for my birthday last Friday. The place was clean and looks welcoming inside. The food was amazing! Steak was cooked perfectly, the staff was very nice, our salads were delicious, and we had the mozzarella sticks (they just don't look exactly the same as what resturaunt posted), but they were still really good! We will be back!

Everything about this restaurant is amazing!!! I had one of the best NY Strips I have had in a very long time and finished with an excellent Key Lime pie. Plus we had an amazing server with Cheryl, she did an awesome job taking care of us and could not have had better service. Carolina Steak & Rib has my vote for best restaurant in Lincolnton!

We celebrated my dad's retirement party here. The service was really great, especially for a large party and they were very accommodating. The food was better than I expected and reasonably priced. Definitely worth checking it out for yourself.

A review from the parking lot...Our 1st time visiting this place and it was great. My husband and I shared the 16oz NY strip with loaded baked potato and salad. Fried pickles for our appetizer. Everything was really great and the service was spectacular. Stephanie was the nicest waitress we've had in quite a while at any restaurant. Thank you guys so much for your new place and serving the community with a friendly atmosphere and great food. We'll definitely be back

Don’t typically leave reviews but wanted to find a way to thank this place for excellent service and food. Me and my fiancée ate here Friday night and we were seated immediately, met by our waitress immediately, and after ordering, was brought our food in a timely manner. Our waitress was very friendly and did her job well. We were also greeted by the GM who was also very friendly and welcoming. My New York strip and my fiancées chicken parm served as an excellent dinner for us. For these reason I give them 5 stars and will be more than happy to return.
