I live in Cornelius and this is probably my favorite restaurant in the area to have a nice meal and a couple of drinks. They have a good house lager, great appetizers and the food is delicious.
My wife is vegetarian and she was surprised to see the array of options she had. She ended up trying the black bean burger which had a kick to it, but not in a burning hot way. Nothing but positive comments there.
We tried the spinach & artichoke dip which came out hot and fresh, with great chips. I would say that it's a can't-miss appetizer here. The best part about it is the outdoor seating, when the weather was warm a couple months back during our visit, we had a great table outside and we were able to walk up the stairs out of the bar area to go down the street to grab some dessert and then hit our Uber home.
There are nicer restaurants in the area if you're looking for a "date night" type of place, and there are cheaper places if you're looking for only value for money, but The Harp & Crown is a great hang-out that combines value and quality with a bit of its own personality and flair.
