Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Local businesses help to develop a community and supply, not only delicious food, amazing products, and services, but also create a sense of pride in the town. Cornelius has many local businesses to choose from, but here are a few highlights.
Everyone will be pleased with Chef Wes creations at
Choplins, where you will find the perfectly cooked steak or seared scallops. This family-owned and operated business provides an elevated level of service, fantastic food, and high-quality drinks.
Fresh Chef has a fantastic menu with items created from scratch. You can savor all their delicious protein entrees, but they are famous for their seafood dishes, such as the Cajun trout. They are happy to cater your next event, or intimate gathering at your home, also.
Healthy eating is not always easy, especially if you have to prepare all of that food yourself.
Nekter Juice Bar is an ideal place to keep you on track and feeling full of supreme goodness with their bowls, juices, shakes, and more.
Does your dog love to socialize? Do you love to hang out with your friends and enjoy a drink while your dog socializes? You and your pup will love every second of your time at
Lucky Dog Bark & Brew.
Wakeboarding and wake surfing are popular activities, especially on a lake the size of Lake Norman. The adrenaline associated with flying through the water while hanging onto the back of a speeding boat is not for everyone, but if you think you would like to try it out,
IcyWakes Surf Shop will give you some direction. You can rent the equipment you need before investing in something you may not like. IcyWakes also has camps and lessons if you would like to learn more about it before you get onto the water.
Decorating your home is never a challenge thanks to
Knotty and Board. It is a local home goods store with everything you need to turn your house into a home. They have lots of styles to choose from and personal design services.
Things To Do
Art and music come together in a large celebration during the
Catawba Walk. Two stages showcase live music by local musicians and the food trucks and local breweries supply the substance you need to keep going. Over one hundred local artists and vendors show off their creations for you to purchase.
