Best Family Restaurants in Lake Norman

"Hardwood hickory logs are burnt 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the custom-built, computer-controlled smoker at Midwood Smokehouse. This lengthy cooking process ensures that the meats are all cooked to perfection and taste absolutely incredible. You can choose to enjoy your lunch or dinner in the restaurant, outside on the patio or order a selection of meats to take away and eat picnic-style in the park."

"The best items are everything on the menu including beef brisket, ribs, rib tips, and bacon wrapped jalapeños.” See all Midwood Smokehouse reviews"

"Located at 1710 Kenilworth Ave., Suite 220, in Dilworth, the breakfast and brunch spot, which offers doughnuts and coffee, is the highest rated dessert spot in Charlotte, boasting 4.5 stars out of 443 reviews on Yelp. The spot offers made-to-order custom doughnuts, plus specialty flavors like maple icing with chopped bacon, cinnamon sugar with vanilla drizzle, mint icing with chocolate drizzle and glazed with holiday sprinkles. (See the full list of featured flavors here.)"

"The concept for Duck Donuts began on a family vacation in the beach towns of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The opening of the shop in Dilworth was met with lines of patrons out the door and social media blowing up with photos of coveted donuts. All donuts are made to order and are always served warm and fresh."

"You may be spending more time at home, but at least you can spend time at home with gourmet, made-from-scratch doughnuts. The popular square-shaped doughnuts come in a variety of flavors like vanilla bean, salted caramel and lemon honey as well as a weekly rotating list of creative specialty flavors. The Matthews and Park Road Shopping Center locations are accepting pre-orders online or walk-up orders (only card payments will be accepted)."

"This farm-to-table concept began as a delivery donut service in October 2013. Due to intense demand from customers, they opened their first storefront location months later. The shop sources as many ingredients (dairy, eggs, fruit, flour) from the local farming community as possible."

"Offering curbside takeout, including a deal every Thursday for a dozen donuts for $20. A dozen donuts from Your Mom’s Donuts."
