Restaurant Reviews: The Waterman – Cornelius

Indoors, outdoors, or in between — lunch is delicious!

My good friend Margi and I love to go out to lunch and this week we tried the one of the most popular spots for lunch or dinner — The Waterman in Cornelius, NC. Their official title is The Waterman Fish Bar LKN and it’s a marvelous place to go for the atmosphere and the food.

Seating around fire pit

Daily lunch specials

Who doesn’t love a great lunch special? The specials are available from 11 am to 2 pm.

Monday

The Sedgefield (Burger)

American cheese, Waterman Sauce, lettuce, tomato, house-made pickle on a brioche bun.

Tuesday

Salmon BLT

Salmon, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo on Texas toast.

Wednesday

Hot Chicken (Sandwich)

Fried Springer Mountain chicken, spicy glaze, lettuce, tomato, house-made pickle, mayo, on a brioche bun.

Thursday – This was the day we were here!

Shrimp Po Boy – Both of us had this special.

I ordered fries as my side and Margi ordered coleslaw. Lots of crispy, deliciously fried shrimp with just the right amount of Waterman sauce, lettuce, tomato and pickle on French bread. They use flake salt on their fries. Delicious!!

Friday

Fisherman’s Pick

Beer-battered cod, house-made pickle, cole slaw, tartar, on a brioche bun.

The atmosphere

You can choose indoors, outdoors in the shade or sun, or bar seating, which is technically outside, but the counter is open to the bar on the inside. There is a lovely seating area around a fire pit. There is an overhang on the outdoor patio that provides shaded eating and the day I was there, there was a lovely breeze. And, if you love the sun, there is full sun seating as well!

The service

We were there for lunch and our server, Kilan, was so cheerful, pleasant and helpful. Our lunch came out quickly and it was piping hot.

I would definitely go back. Enjoy!
