It's too bad the website you featured is not updated and it's really a shame this is a marketing event that everyone participating has to pay for. If you go to the restaurants to eat, you get a dumbed down menu "created especially for this event". What a scam.

Not one restaurant in Lincoln County. Hard to believe that Charlotte is afraid that Lincoln County has better restaurants!

Ukebolonger, the only restaurant in Lincoln County that would come close to this group would be Court St. Grille!! Lincoln County is afraid of good restaurants-as well as good shopping, good evening spots, good coffee houses, etc. etc. And I don't want to hear the old cliche, move back to Charlotte. I am a long time Lincoln Country resident with original roots in Catawba County. However, I take all my business across county lines because of Lincoln County's resistance to coming into the 21st century.

I find some of the restaurants do offer a better menu than others.

I think Lincoln County lags because alcohol sales have only been approved for the past ten years. Belmont opened up two years prior to Lincolnton and just in the past three years has had a restaurant growth.

36th Street Bakery has great dinner entrees from time to time. Like Anonymous, I go out of county when I want a special meal.

Ooo nice to see Bistro La Bon in the list. A cool little place I need to go to more often.
