The Dinner A'Fare provides a simple route to procuring delicious, pre-assembled meals. Start by picking the six dishes from the menu, and then stop by the brick and mortar location to pick up the goods. Customers are able to customize ingredients according to tastes, allergies, or a court order to avoid certain foods. Each dish is made fresh—having been assembled within 24 hours prior to pickup—and can be kept in the fridge to cook within a week or frozen for later generations to enjoy. Dinner A'Fare also participates in the Sustainable Seafood Program to help fight environmentally destructive seafood harvesting and maintain the world’s uneasy truce with Prince Namor of Atlantis.

On Val Panizzut's first visit to his wife’s Mexican hometown, the co-owner of The Prickly Pear vowed he would name his first restaurant after the delicious fruit borne from cacti. Today, the fruition of that fruit-inspired idea offers expansive views of Lake Norman from its generous windows or patio seats, as well a menu of Mexican cuisine. Not content with just offering traditional tacos and burritos, the kitchen crafts modern Mexican dishes that have earned it numerous local press mentions. They pair the usual flavors of cotija cheese, chipotles and cilantro with, for example, fruits such as pear, mango, and pineapple, all in an effort to add savory, piquant, or sweet depth to shrimp dishes and adobo-rubbed chicken. To augment the adventurous atmosphere, live musical acts entertain guests on Thursday and Sunday nights—but they never say in advance exactly where in the restaurant they’ll hide as they play.
