    Big Red Sandwich
    Andy B.

    Coffee is great, staff are super nice, food was good but a bit small if you're wanting a meal. The vibe in the cafe is relaxed and has multiple seating options from couches to tables. They have sweets to and baked goods. If they beefed up the sandwich portions I'd be a bigger fan. I dig the place and we will be back for coffee for sure.

    Yum yum yum!!! Traveler here who was looking for breakfast options after leaving an airbnb in Mount Holly. Conveniently close/short drive to the highway too. The staff are so friendly, and I love the wooden theme all around, and best of all the food is yum-my!! We got the mini donuts (fried fresh to order - it was a restorative experience watching my batch get made!) and a bacon egg cheese on a wrap (tip - they can also do on a croissant or on a bagel) and it was perfection. We especially loved that the wrap was pressed in a panini machine - so that it was slightly crispy outside but most of all, retained the warmth longer as we ate ours slowly on the drive to our next destination. Again, we are passerbys but it we are back in the area we will definitely stop by a second time!

    The service was great. Really cute cafe and it isn't over priced the food was great as well! I would definitely be back

    I grabbed a bite here after hiking Crowder's Mountain. Fairly stereotypical close to the border of South Carolina so I was welcomed with Christian music & southern accents. The service was good, & quick. Plus I'd you check in with Yelp you can get a free brownie! I opted for the white chocolate pumpkin mocha which was decent, but nothing over the top amazing. My panini was good too, & I like that you can do pasta salad as a side, that's different. The brownie was noting special but I can't complain because it was free. All in all I spent about $20.

    I usually go to Big Red's for lunch but I always leave with a coffee and a mini donuts. Staff are friendly & prompt, which I appreciate. I feel like I never have to wait long after ordering. The frappes are delicious & the donuts specials change weekly, which are worth a weekly visit. The chicken salad sandwich croissant is amazing & flavorful & the turkey grinder is very satisfying. If you're looking for breakfast the bagels decent but the Belgian waffles are really tasty. You have the option of bar seating, tables, booth or a couch plus a couple of outdoor seating options. Overall it's a wonderful little cafe for lunch & treats!

    Amazinggggggg!!! We loved this cute little shop so much. The panini was so good and perfectly made. The coffee we had was a big hit with us. My favorite was the mini donuts omg!!! We will be returning. The customer service was perfectly top notch, especially when the owner herself greeted us and made us feel so confotorble. Truly a gem of a place to go to when in kings mountain.

They used to have a buffet here, however the waitress said that they don't do that anymore. I think that I have become so spoiled by Papa's and Beer in Shelby that this place was a major let down. I ordered the dinner combination that consisted of a burrito, a chimichanga and rice. The burrito was more like an enchilada. The chimichanga had no crunch to it and it was tiny as well. Last, but not least... Did this place give me, the bottom of the pot, hard and slightly burnt rice? What a disappointment. Sad sad sad. Can't really dismiss this place either. Would I try it again? I don't think so. One and done for me. Especially for the price.

You would think they would have everything together after waiting for an hour. They forgot tortilla sauce and condiments. They drinks were terrible, their drinks taste watered down with lots of sugar. The food was bad, burnt carne asada and you would think a Mexican restaurant would serve some delicious tacos de asada. They were dry, chewy and bland. Place is absolutely disgusting their sanitary grad should be way lower. Mi gente este lugar es asqueroso y una falta de respeto para nuestra cultura!!!
