Even during a busy lunch rush, our server took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. For such a large, open space, the restaurant wasn't overly loud, which made for a really enjoyable atmosphere. The bar was beautiful and well-stocked, and the Bloody Mary was excellent. I also loved the decor, it's filled with charming local photographs that are available for purchase, adding a unique touch to the dining experience.

Our server was very friendly and did a great job but things like our beers took a long time - which is a shame for them honestly because I'm sure they make decent money on beers and because of the time it took I didn't get a second one. I liked the interior, it's got a very old-industrial vibe and I enjoy that they haven't tried to cover up the origins of the building. I don't think they have it printed anywhere but they do have a kids menu which is nice. We will be back to see what the menu evolves to and hopefully see a bit better service-side experience next time.

Fantastic Sunday brunch with this new restaurant! Waiter was attentive, and great with…read moresuggestions. I came with my husband and two girls, 8 and 5, and my mother. Immediately they brought glasses of water in glasses appropriate for the young kids. I had the cafe du monde coffee which was very sweet but still enjoyable. We started with the beignets, which were like fried croissants. Different but incredibly tasty and the yeasty flavor really shined through. Next, my mom and I had the lobster bisque. So good that my 5 year old gave it a thumbs up! Very creamy and they didn't skimp on the lobster. My girls ordered the chicken and waffles. Waiter then asked us if we preferred tenders, which was very much appreciated. Very thoughtful. One waffle accidentally came back with syrup on the waffle and they immediately made it right. 10/10 for making sure the customer, even the 8 year old, got what they wanted. The adults got the etoufee, the gumbo, and the shrimp and grits. Gumbo with the added seafood had real fried soft shelled crab! A true treat and I helped myself to my mom's plate. My husband ordered the etoufee and he had finished it in just a few minutes. They make a really brown, creamy roux that has a great depth of flavor. I got the shrimp and grits and once again, my 5 year old kept eating off my plate. A bit spicy for her, but great for me. The grits were creamy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. We ended with the bread pudding. It truly was like eating a custard. It came out hot and steaming, made fresh. Super vanilla flavor, really rich. After all this food, we couldn't finish it, but the waiter made sure to bring fresh spoons to make sure we could all try it. Would definitely return. Can't wait to come back and try more of their seasonal menu.

It's a beautiful place. The ambience is nice.

It might be a good date night destination as well. Staff is warm and capable. It's just with that price point. I think it's out of reach for most weekly visits..

We ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, and a tenderloin, egg, and cheese biscuit, along with hashbrowns and sweet tea.

The building itself could use some serious maintenance, but I wouldn't let that scare you off. The food was still very good. I'd definitely go back, though I might use the drive-thru next time.

It has a nice spice without being overpowering. My husband enjoys the chicken biscuit. It's huge! The tea is great--if you are going through the drive thru, grab a large because it's so good! The service is always incredible, the staff are nice and helpful. One bummer is the size of the drive thru due to the die of the parking lot, but it moves fairly quickly. They do have an inside eating area, where you can watch them make biscuits sometimes. It's pretty neat.

What a unique experience!…read more Bill's Truck Stop is located off of I-85 just South of Lexington. It has that western truck stop feel, and is filled with great people and good food! The food is great, but unfortunately did take a while to come out. For truckers on a time crunch, this may not be for you. The eggs and hash browns are hot n' fresh (as they should) but nothing particularly special. The bacon was way overcooked. The biscuits are buttery and homemade! The tables were clean, but the floor beneath our feet was dirty (food, napkins, etc...) The servers are great, and check on you often. For what you get, it is a good price! $29 for two meals including a tip is a good deal! There is also an Exxon that you can fill up at, including a gas station portion if you don't want to dine at the restaurant. Breakfast is served all day.

As a CHARLOTTE Engineering graduate and SigEp alumnus, I travel back and forth to Charlotte at…read moreleast 10 times a year. I remember stopping at Bill's as a far back as the early '80s. On this trip, I was on my way to the CHARLOTTE 49ers men's basketball game vs. Tulane. On the way down, I stopped to use the restroom. I noticed that they serve Exxon gas (I use the Exxon-Mobil app whenever I can). Being the Architecture and Americana enthusiast -- and let's not forget Yelpie -- I snapped a lot of pictures. On the way down, I didn't have time to stop and eat, and I decided it would be better to get gas on the way home, so I planned to stop again after the game. Bill's Truck Stop is a long-standing, family-oriented truck stop and restaurant serving travelers, truckers, and locals. It's a full-service stop right off I-85 near Salisbury/Linwood, offering fuel, Country and Southern comfort food, and a range of traveler amenities in a more "old-school" atmosphere compared to modern corporate travel plazas. It never closes -- open 24 hours a day. It's easily noticeable by its tall sign and "Big Bill," a towering fiberglass figure originally installed decades ago as an eye-catching roadside attraction. The property includes a convenience store paired with the Exxon station on the left, the restaurant in the middle, and a store on the right selling auto and truck supplies, clothing, and other merchandise. On my way down, I picked up ice scrapers, anticipating an approaching ice storm in North Carolina. On the way home -- after the 49ers were victorious -- I stopped to sample the restaurant, go to the bathroom, and get gas. I sat down at the counter and was greeted very warmly and hospitably, in both classic Southern and truck-stop wait-staff style. It seemed as if before the words "I'll have coffee" left my mouth, a cup of hot Joe was already in front of me -- really good diner-style coffee, the kind that keeps truckers and motorists alert all night. Livermush can be hard to find in parts of Eastern North Carolina, so I decided to order breakfast. I had livermush, sunny-side-up eggs, hash browns with onions and peppers covered in melted cheese, and a very large biscuit. It was all very delicious. The counter area was very clean. The restaurant décor and furniture are dated -- in a good way -- going back to the 1960s when the truck stop first opened to serve Interstate-85 traffic. The kitchen is in plain view and very clean, which adds a level of trust and transparency. In addition to the counter, there are tables and chairs as well as booths. This is a classic "greasy spoon" diner and mom-and-pop truck stop -- I love its nostalgic feel. The menu features classics such as country-style steak, meatloaf, fried chicken, and chicken and dumplings. They also offer a solid selection of hearty soups, salads and slaw, hamburgers, hot dogs and other sandwiches, and fried seafood bites. I can't wait to return and sample more menu items. Imagine having a Salisbury steak in Salisbury! The men's room was exceptionally clean and smelled nice -- especially impressive for a truck stop or travel plaza. After I ate and used the restroom, I went out and pumped gas using the Exxon-Mobil app. The pump worked well, and the handle was fully intact -- I didn't have to squeeze it the entire fill-up in the cold, which I appreciated. I plan on heading back and wholeheartedly recommend this truck stop and travel plaza to anyone needing gas, a clean restroom, automobile or truck parts and supplies, souvenir clothing, water, soda or snacks, and a hot, delicious comfort-food meal. And yes -- it's also worth stopping just to take a selfie with Big Bill.
