Lake Norman Motel Restaurant

On the lake. Locals love the rib sampler plate. ...oven-cooked pork ribs, no smoke, heavy on the sauce, per local practice. The fried fish sandwich is pretty good. Usual beers available, margaritas, etc. Nice patio. Go here for the lake atmosphere, even better if you go by boat. If there's no dock space, anchor and the "Pon-Tiki" water taxi will ferry you to shore. Hitchcock movie fans: we call it the "Lake 'Norman Bates Motel' ".
