Blu Star Grill of Mooresville, NC
The Blu Star Grill in Mooresville, North Carolina, had a unique charm that set it apart from the myriad of eateries in this bustling Lake Norman town of Mooresville. The restaurant has a unique rustic exterior, with its weathered wooden siding and a large star-shaped sign painted in cobalt blue. The setting invites diners into a world where comfort food and Southern hospitality reigned supreme.
Comfort Food Classics
The Blu Star Grill is famous for its comfort food classics. The fried chicken, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, was legendary, as was the smoky pulled pork that is slow-cooked for hours. The sides were just as delightful: creamy macaroni and cheese, collard greens with a hint of vinegar, and cornbread that melted in your mouth. For dessert, the fan favorite is their homemade peach cobbler, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
A Welcoming Environment for All
The interior of the Blu Star Grill was as inviting as its food. Wooden tables and chairs, checkered tablecloths, and walls adorned with local artwork created a cozy, down-home atmosphere. Photos of Mooresville’s past and present lined the walls, telling the story of the town and its people. Regulars had their favorite spots, and newcomers quickly felt like part of the family.
Family Owned Small Business
Owned and operated by the Roberts family for over two decades, Blu Star Grill is now operated by daughter Emily who inherited the passion for food and hospitality from her parents. She has brought a new energy to the Blu Star Grill by introducing contemporary Southern dishes that paid homage to her father’s recipes while appealing to modern tastes. The menu expanded to include vegetarian and gluten-free options, and Emily’s creative flair was evident in every dish. She also embraced the farm-to-table movement, forging partnerships with local farmers and artisans to ensure the freshest ingredients. Click HERE to see Blu Star’s Website and MENU.
