    The location is near a few car dealerships and I'm happy I say it driving by. The server many different food items but the tamales was the best on the menu. Sort of like a waffle house mixed in with many other options. Waitresses were all friendly.

    Surprised to see such a big menu for a small diner. Lots of choices and specials. Prices are diner accurate, affordable. The food was alright and served luckily split. The staff was friendly enough. I think Abel himself runs the grill because one guest shouted "see ya later, Abel!" as they left. Small town, locally loved vibes.

    This is some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I thought I just had bad luck the last time I…read moreordered so I gave them another try. That was a mistake. The egg rolls were mushy on the outside and the pork inside wasn't fresh... it hadn't expired... it just wasn't fresh. Maybe cooked this morning or even yesterday. The General Tso Chicken was made with low quality chicken. My wife actually spit it out it had so much chewy gristle. The sauce (which was supposed to be spicy had no bite. The broccoli wasn't lightly blanched... it was raw. The pork fried rice had no pork, didn't look fried, had a few undercooked frozen vegetables, and no egg. The pork lomein was the best single item... but I'd still give it a 2 out of 10. If the food was good I can forgive the esthetic of a mostly takeout restaurant... but given the horrible food the atmosphere was the icing on the cake. It's been years since Covid had us putting plastic barriers between us. Three unrelated items for sell. There is a candy vending machine (maybe to save people from purchasing dessert?). There is no culturally aligned Chinese music. And not surprisingly, there is no smell of food being cooked to order. I'm thankful for the pleasant weather because something tells me the HVAC wouldn't be on. Avoid this restaurant. I'll be driving to Greensboro next time I want some average Chinese food over this disgusting joke. I honestly have no idea how their Yelp average is 3 Stars. I'm recommending to Chef Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares!

    Love the chicken Szechuan. The soup is good too. Not a fan of the crispy noodles for the soup…read more Service is always quick. Take our service. General TSOs is good but they stopped doing not fried option.

    If you're craving a seafood feast that actually delivers, order the Tug Boat at Smitty's Grille…read more We were told it was for two... and they weren't kidding. This platter was stacked with crab legs, shrimp, scallops, and more than enough to make it a full-on seafood experience. Everything was seasoned well and served hot, and the portions felt generous without being sloppy. They were out of clams (which honestly tells me they're popular for a reason), but the swap worked out in our favor. We got extra scallops and added fried oysters instead -- and the oysters were crispy on the outside, tender inside, and not overly greasy. The scallops were buttery and perfectly cooked. We also had a side of asparagus and fries, and both were solid complements to all the seafood. Nothing overcomplicated, just classic, comforting flavors done right. If you're going with a friend or date and want to share something hearty, the Tug Boat is the move. Come hungry and enjoy the friendly service.

    Smitty's Grille - grabbed the last to bar seats @ 7:00 on a Friday night…read more We were promptly greeted by a worker and she checked if there were any other seats open before we grabbed those at the bar. There are two bar areas, both U-shaped and only 2-3 tables in the very back. Makayla is the MOST enthusiastic waitress and you can tell she LOVES what she does. My bar neighbors ordered the shrimp teriyaki bowl and the crab stuffed flounder. They BOTH look fantastic!! Hubby had the blacked chicken platter with rice and tots. I chose the 2 item seafood combination consisting of flounder and fantail shrimp, with their famous potato's and Cole slaw. The chicken was AMAZING, the tots crispy and the rice simple & flavorful - just like he likes it. My seafood was hot & tasted fresh! I can't wait to return!!!

    They immediately won bonus points for the name alone, but then we discovered their chicken is…read moreactually pretty cluckin' awesome. My first go was the giant spud with chicky tendies and buffalo sauce. The chicken is so tender and has the right amount of batter crispiness to it. The sauce was very flavorful, but if you don't like it heavy-handed, you might want to ask for the sauce on the side. They aren't stingy. My spouse was raving over their jumbo shrimp. I can't speak to that because I don't eat them, but I haven't stopped hearing about since we went months ago... It's a modest-sized restaurant on the one busy street in K-ville. The staff was very friendly and everything was clean. Great for groups of 4 and under as it's a somewhat small space with limited seating for any group larger than a 4-top.

    This place was good enough I'd eat here again if someone asked me to go with them, but not good…read moreenough to make a special trip there. It's got the cutest name and a decent sized menu. However, the food was also just decent. I liked the tenders and sauces and not much more than that. The fries were more than plain and the jumbo shrimp lacked flavor in my opinion, so I dunked them in buffalo sauce to kick them up a notch. For this visit we opted to eat inside and the tables were all sticky. Not in a dirty way, but almost like they had cleaned the finish off them or had removed contact paper and not used any goo-gone. With a little elbow grease or some cheap "fixing up" I think that situation could be rectified. We also were almost blinded at the time we ate around 7/7:30pm. The windows on the front allow sun directly in the restaurant and there's no way to block it. Thankfully we finished as the sun went down and we didn't have to deal with it long before we left. If you like tenders, this wouldn't be a terrible spot, but there is definitely room for some improvements.

    My husband and I went on a Friday night around 7:30 PM. The restaurant was busy, but there was…read morestill plenty of seating and we were seated right away. There was live music from a two-man band singing soul and Motown standards. Both had great voices, and the music added a lot to the evening without taking over the room. Our server, Ty, was so friendly and knowledgable. She was warm, helpful, and made good recommendations. We started with the Brussels sprouts, and they were delicious. Sweet, flavorful, and cooked well, they still taste it like Brussels sprouts. You might even be able to convince a toddler to eat these. Definitely a recommend for me. The menu now includes small plates, which are priced a bit lower than the regular prices . It had been years since I visited this location, so the menu felt new to me even though a few familiar dishes were still there. My husband ordered the roasted chicken small plate with onion rings. He thought it was delicious. Between the chicken, Brussels sprouts, and fresh yeast rolls, it was plenty of food, and he still had some to take home for the next day. The chicken looked like at least half of a small bird, so the portion was generous for a small plate. I ordered the pasta Alfredo. Ty recommended adding both chicken and shrimp, so I did. The chicken was mixed into the pasta, and the shrimp were arranged on top with a small edible flower. It looked good and tasted good, although the Alfredo was a little bland for me. It needed a bit more seasoning, but the chicken and shrimp helped. This was a very enjoyable dinner. Good food, friendly service, live music, and portions that made the small plates feel like a good value. Must order: Brussels sprouts Tip: The Alfredo is mild, so ask for extra seasoning or Parmesan if you prefer more flavor.

    For $103, this was a letdown…read more We ordered a pomegranate martini, a whiskey and Coke, and two "small plates" -- beef medallions with l'orange sauce and the beef short rib. For that price point, I expected quality and execution. It just wasn't there. The short rib was very tender, I'll give it that. But it was swimming in a heavy gravy with potatoes piled on top and steamed spinach hidden underneath, which made the whole dish soggy and overly heavy. Then there was a random orchid blossom and a branch of whole parsley on top (mine had a flower, too), which felt completely out of place. The beef medallions were the bigger issue -- no sear at all and they had a slightly gamey flavor (which I'm hoping doesn't come back to bite me later). Honestly, the l'orange sauce was the best part of the dish and the only thing saving it -- without it, the plate would have been close to inedible. The "crispy potato medley" was neither crispy nor seasoned -- and I mean not even salt. It was mostly zucchini, squash, and red bell pepper with zero flavor. All 6 of the tiny potato cubes themselves tasted like they came straight out of a freezer bag. Nothing was inedible, but nothing justified the price. The whole experience felt pretentious without actually delivering on quality or execution. I will say -- the staff was very nice and attentive, which was the highlight of the experience.
