★★★★★ 5.0 greg segura · Mar 2026

We went to Mac’s for my wife and myself first time. My son and his wife highly suggested it. Nice atmosphere, we were seated right away, in a corner booth. We needed a booster seat and kids menu and our greeter was spot on. The food was good, we had a nice variety and everyone was happy. The only negative thing I shall say is the beans were not hot but luke warm. I didn’t want to complain but the food otherwise was good.. We had a spot on waitress and kept the cold brews coming!

Stopped in for dinner. We were greeted at the door and seated quickly. We tried the hushpuppies. They were really good. My table had a grilled cheese kids meal with fries and apples. A buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and a jam something burger with an egg and sweet potato fries. Everything was good. Our drinks were good as well. The waitress was kind as well

I’ve had the burger, fries, wings, and Mac n Cheese. Burger 8.1 Fries 9.6 Wings 8.0 Mac n Cheese: 9.5 ——————- Service: 9.5 Atmosphere: 9.7 (outdoor picnic tables, fire pit, indoor pool tables and dartboards, bar, booths, etc.) It’s also important to note that this place is very different from years ago. It used to be more of a biker place and more along the lines of an Iron Thunder. Now it’s way more chill. It’s a mix of couples, families, and people going out for a drink to relax. It’s Cornelius, which is mostly wealthy, so you should never have any problems here. More of a relaxing fun atmosphere. Definitely recommended! My favorite part is sitting in an Adirondack chair by the fire pit in warm weather during the day with a beer in my hand. Usually nobody out there on weekdays during

★★★★★ 5.0 Caleb Phillips · Mar 2026

I’ve been to Mac’s Speed Shop a few times and it’s always a great spot. The atmosphere is laid back and fun, especially if you’re meeting up with friends or watching a game. The staff has always been friendly and the service is pretty quick even when it’s busy. The food is really solid BBQ. The ribs were tender and full of flavor, the brisket never misses, and the pork is my all-time favorite. They also have a good selection of sides and drinks. Overall it’s just a cool place to hang out with good food and a good vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you’re around the Lake Norman area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chance The Chef · Sep 2024

Absolutely wonderful experience. It was super busy but the server was still attentive and never let my drink run out. The food was incredible and I loved watching the game here. The Manager also stopped by to make sure everything was OK. Lots of fun and tons of incredible food. Both the shrimp and the brisket tacos are absolutely to die for! Well worth a stop. I just stopped in again for NFL Sunday and even though it was packed, I had a great time! Amazing atmosphere to watch the game in!
