Steak burrito bowl.
Charlotte B.

I've passed Armadillo Grill many times as there are so many good places to grab lunch in the area. I didn't realize this is a quick service style place, which serves me well on this day that I actually didn't have much time for a full sit down meal, and I hey, I'll spend less right? Wrong. I found the cashier helpful and nice enough. There was no line so I told her I'd never been there. She enthusiastically suggested a burrito bowl with a side of tortillas; sounds good. Naming off ingredients, I'm thinking this is like Moe's where you decide if you want onion, salsas, sour cream etc (we all know guacamole costs extra). As she rings me up I'm noticing the small charges for just about each ingredient. I can't say I'm a penny pincher but it adds up. I spent $22 on a burrito bowl and a soda. The sour cream was a tube handed to me with the bowl. I suppose the bowl was shareable so maybe I should've just ordered a taco. Ok fine, lesson learned. Sitting down I notice the dining area is not very clean. Kind of sticky and a few used napkins on the floor. The food was just ok. The steak was definitely tasty, but the rest tastes like I could've made this at home. I just don't feel any pull to return. There is an upstairs area and a patio so that's nice. I was fed. This reads like a two star review but I like the location and the nice cashier earned it three.

Chicken Enchilada Plate

This place has been around for ages and we popped in recently for lunch during the holidays. You fill out an order form in line, hand it to the cashier, pay, and then then wait for your food. While the food was good, the wait time was a lot longer than we expected. The line to order was short, and the downstairs tables were not filled, leading us to expect a relatively short wait for our food. However, we went to the upstairs area and found lots of full tables waiting for their orders. I get it, they might have been shortstaffed, but it was still a really long wait. Our bean burrito and veggie enchilada plate were decent but our overall experience was still marred by the long wait time.

Order via filling out paper or skip this for the conservation route.

Not very good quality offerings that are made with casual attention to providing food that looks and tastes good.

Really bad food, brown guacamole, runny quesco, said best soft tacos but lacking any flavor. Fountain drinks weren't even good.

This dinner had a full emotional arc…read more Let me start by saying this was one of the best meals I've had in the last 2-3 years. The star of the show in my opinion were the hush puppies and the corn and wild mushroom risotto. There were sooo many different flavors that perfectly complemented each other. I was blown away. And the pig cheek on top was incredible. 500/10. Our server made great recommendations! Then-- chaos and heartbreak ensued in the form of a fire alarm. We were forced to evacuate the restaurant as the fire department arrived , leaving about half our meal on the table. After 30 or so minutes of waiting out in the cold (we were apparently the only guests who hadn't paid out yet) our server came to find us. He asked us if we wanted to just give him our credit card information and he would ring us up later, when the fire department gave them the ok, as he understood not wanting to wait around. It broke our heart to leave our leftovers, but we agreed and went to go get the car. Thankfully we are stubborn.. and optimistic to a fault. And by the third time we circled around the block, the fire truck was pulling away. I ran in and asked if there was any chance our food hadn't been thrown away yet, and it hadn't! The staff was happy we had been able to come back, and they packed everything up for us, even taking the hush puppies off the bill and sneaking in a complimentary piece of key lime pie. I'm so glad we were able to tip our server appropriately for his great service-- and rescue our leftovers. Happy ending. All was well. (And the fire ended up being something innocuous in the unit above the restaurant)

Pretty great spot to eat! Service was amazing, one of the best around the area. Our waiter was so…read morekind, thoughtful, and knew his stuff about the menu. He kept refilling our waters which is a gesture that doesn't go unnoticed. Their menu is quite confusing. They have a hot section, cold section, and "classics" section. I assumed the classics were their mains and the "hot" and "cold" were just appetizers due to the difference in pricing. I opted for the blackened salmon, and my friend got the watermelon salad and tomato plate to share. The wait for food wasn't that long, but once they arrived, they were beautiful. Vibrant, full of color, plates of food that I was dying to dig into. The salmon was a pretty small piece (I was expecting a larger portion) and was on top of black beans and cheese grits. The salmon had a green sauce on top which complemented each aspect of the dish very well. I loved eating a bite of everything together. The tomato plate special was also good, but nothing sensational. It's literally just tomatoes with oil on them, but I guess they tasted fresh. I probably wouldn't come back, but this was a good meal nonetheless.

All you Kenan-Flaglers out there trying to find something for your next research project, Chipotle…read moreis an excellent case study on how to strip a well loved business for parts and make a fortune doing it. Chipotle used to focus on organic, locally sourced and humanely raised ingredients. They used to have quality standards. They used to have clean stores. They used to have lines out the door. It was a big part of their brand. They paid slightly above average and the employees that worked there liked working there (or at least pretended). Enter Brian, the new CEO fresh off a stint at Taco Bell. His package included over 8 million shares valued at $75M. He proceeded to "optimize" by slowly raising prices, cutting pay, cutting corners, cutting quality... getting away from the pesky organic, locally sourced, humanely raised, etc. All this optimization resulted in higher profit margins. The stock price went from $8 to close to $60 when he left in 2024. If you do the math, he walked with at least $500M. He's now moved on to destroy whatever people might still like about Starbucks. Chipotle is left as a stinking heap, waiting to be put out of its misery. You should check it out or order online and bet the under with your on whether they get your order correct. Whatever you do, just don't eat the food.

All I have to say is I placed a large pickup order day of and it was ready early when i arrived…read more The employees helped me get the order right away and everything was correct! Items on the side, all servings of chips, and everything in each bowl. Shoutout to this Chipotle for their efficient service and kind staff!
