Your average shopping mall.
I'm not a big fan of malls in general but if I have to go to one, Northlake is a top contender.
It's not as busy nor stuck up as South Park but the stores are similar.
The main reason I give such a low rating is because the food court SUCKS.
Most malls have large selection of food options. Concord's got Popeye's and Firehouse, Four Seasons has a decent sized court, and so does Carolina Place. However, Northlake has your average Sbarro, Great Steak etc. and not much out.
I'm big on health scores and when I saw the scores at Northlake I was like nope.....I will never eat there again.
One positive thing is that they do have a Dippin' Dots STOREFRONT, not just a little kiosk. This is the only one I've ever seen.
