| - Huntersville has few choices in terms of American casual dining. There are the typical Mickey & Mooch and Birkdale flavors, but anything on Exit 23 is few to none. I've been to Killingtons over the years they've been opened and have noticed changes in quality and cooking styles. This is what prompted me to finally write my review of this restaurant.
Based on my past experiences, I woud've easily given them a four like my fellow yelpers have. These past two experiences have brought it down to a three. I'm sure you must be thinking I'm being picky, but looking at the value and quality of the food, it just isn't there. And here's why.
Let's start with my lunch here with my coworkers. We were seated quite quickly for their lunch rush and before that wouldn't have been possible. Already, there was a shift I noticed. I ordered their Crispy Jack Chicken with mashed potatoes. It came out ten minutes later in timely fashion along with the other orders. The potatoes were fine and I enjoyed them. The sandwich was what needed some attention. You get maybe two chicken tenders at max. Small tenders, mind you. And the bread takes up the whole plate. I couldn't even see the chicken tenders because the bread engulfed the pieces. Melted cheese, thrown on garnishes, and there you have it. Nothing really special, but the price is decent, if not a little high for what you get.
The next dinner is what got me. Service was attentive and blah, blah, blah. I ordered the Bayou Pasta this time around; $16.25 for this dish to note. I expected something grand. Cajun infused seasoning and the typical garlic, onions, and red and black peppers. They got the checklist covered. Hardly though. Little garlics, onions, and peppers. All sauce. And by sauce I mean heavy cream. Almost as if they put tomatos sauce and heavy cream and mixed it together and then added the other ingredients. It lacked any seasoning. My brother and his girlfriend thought I was just being picky, but they tried it and thought the same. No taste. No cajun seasonings. And I paid $16 for that? Ouch.
Each experience I've had eating here has just been going down and down. My friend the other day got their shrimp and grits, which was $14! It was like a cup and a few shrimps. Ouch again. I've had better shrimp and grits at the local Charlotte cafes for less than $8.
Killingtons for lunch is a decent place to go to as long as you stick with their lunch sandwiches. Even then, their "high-quality food" is something you can get at other restaurants around the area for a better price.
