I was born and raised in Shelby, and I am super excited about a brand-new restaurant there. I cannot wait to get back home to Cleveland County and try it. An authentic Thai restaurant is now open in Shelby, North Carolina.
When I lived there, back in 1980 something, we had barbecue places, a few fast food restaurants, and fish camps. That was it. I am not disparaging my hometown. Shelby was a great place to grow up but the town itself has grown so much over the years. The downtown area is beautiful and thriving and there is quite a variety of shops and places to eat. I love Thai food tho so I can’t wait to try this place.
The restaurant is called, Khop Khun Taste of Thailand and you can find it at 1752 East Dixon Boulevard in Shelby. According to the Shelby Star, Khop Khun means “thank you” and it is operated by a husband and wife team. I am fairly new to loving Thai food so I can’t wait to explore the different items on the menu and support this restaurant. To learn more, get details right here from the Shelby Star. So excited about this authentic Thai restaurant now open in Shelby, North Carolina.

North Carolina Restaurant Named Top Date Night Spot
While most people have favorite restaurants, those places may not necessarily be considered the best in the world. Well, now Tripadvisor is letting us know which restaurants are, so if you’re a traveling foodie, read on.
The travel site just came out with their Travelers’ Choice “Best of the Best” Awards for restaurants, based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews. The list consists of restaurants in six continents and 51 countries. Establishments are broken down into the following categories: Fine Dining, Everyday Eats, Quick Bites, Picture-Perfect Restaurants, Date Night, and Hidden Gems.
Earning the honor of Top Fine Dining spot in the U.S. is the Lahaina Grill, in Lahaina, Hawaii, which also landed at number 19 on the Best Restaurants in the World list. The Old Stamp House Restaurant in Ambleside, United Kingdom is the World number one for a second year in a row.
The Restaurant at Gideon Ridge in Blowing Rock, North Carolina took second place on the U.S. fine dining list, but was also named the Top Date Night spot in the U.S. That’s not surprising, given that it overlooks the Blue Ridge Mountains from an elevation of 3,990 feet. Circa 1886 in Charleston, South Carolina is sixth on the Date Night list.
