I don't think I've ever been to a more empty Starbucks on a weekday than this one. The interior of…read morethe Starbucks was like every other, so it was clean with diffused lighting. The ordering process was quick, and we found the perfect spot to sit while we waited for our beverages. We ordered the caramel Frappuccino, butterfly lemonade refresher, and a few water cups because it was hot. The butterfly lemonade refresher is not worth the hype, but when at Starbucks, you get the $6 lemonade with popping pearls at the bottom. The caramel Frappuccino was good and had a good drizzle of caramel on top. I'd say this place could be busy during the Fall and Spring semesters due to the proximity of Stanly CC, but it was a very quiet trip for us and very enjoyable.

This place is perfect! The staff is friendly and efficient, and anyone who walks by the table asks…read moreif you need anything. They offer beer, cider, and meades as well as a list of recommended ways to mix them. They have tons of seating inside and a large patio full of tables, creating an open and relaxed atmosphere. The food is perfect! Everything we had from beer, appetizers to meal was delicious. They have a large parking lot and are family-friendly . Definitely stop in if you are in the area. Try Freya's love bite, their strawberry blonde ale, hands down one of the best I've ever had!

While having dinner in the area, I drove past Buzzed Viking and was immediately intrigued mostly…read morebecause of the name, but also because I love trying new breweries. I was told that the original location is in Concord, and later found out that they don't just brew beer, but also mead! We came in on a Friday night after dinner and it was lively but not over crowded with a performer up on stage playing guitar and singing some classics. In addition to their beer and mead, they have a list of creative cocktails as well as a food menu. The food coming out looked great! If we weren't full from dinner we would have surely indulged. Overall the vibe isn't typical for a brewery and feels more like a neighborhood pub, they even have arcade games and pool tables, things you're most likely to find at a dive than a micro brewery. I loved the atmosphere and everyone enjoyed their beverages. They had a cheer wine cider that was especially tasty. Not I need to go check out the OG, but this location in Locust is top notch.

Outstanding soul food, and a delicious sweet tea is included with the purchase of a meal. Since…read morethe business just opened, paper menus are available in the dining area before you place an order (see pics). I had the fried chicken, rice and gravy and green beans. A roll or cornbread also comes with a meal, and the cornbread was delightfully moist and sweet. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. We will definitely be back when we come to the area again since everything was so good.

I asked for the sour cream to be removed since I didn't order it and was told it would be taken off. I also requested the coffee be removed because it was decaf and not what I asked for. The owner said both charges would be removed, but they remained on the bill. The food was not satisfactory, and staff were heard speaking negatively about us while we were still present. My waitress Holly was amazing thank you so much. The owner seems to have issues with accountability.

"Oh no! What could improve?"…read more How about everything? I've already left a few very bad and sad reviews about this location. I've also said "I can't believe...I'm never coming back etc." type reviews but THIS one absolutely wins. Tonight 5/30 I hit drive-thru for a chocolate shake. Transaction was taken and I was told to proceed. I got to window and was told (as per usual at McDonalds) that there was something inexplicably wrong with shake machine. This is nothing new, internet has been covering it for years (the machine isn't broke, it's just that no one wants to clean it). The mgnr said she'd fix it, pull ahead. 2-3 mins later, there's my chocolate shake. 2-3 mins ago, it wasn't even considerable that it was possible. Yet, there it was. So after all the back and forth waiting, I get some woman who may be a manager or may not. I pointed out this was a vanilla shake with chocolate sauce.... That's when shit got weird. This person almost immediately called me a liar amongst other shocking things, which, in turn, set me off. I realize it's only a milk shake but wtf with challenging the customer about the quality or reality of it in general? We exchanged unpleasantries. I don't do that. But WOW she deserved an earful and I gave it to her. Her responses were laughably out of line. I know service jobs are hard and need to be applauded whenever possible. However, this person needs to be retired from her "position" She fought me every step of the way. Including TELLING me to get the original vanilla shake w sauce out of my car and return it in order to give me a refund. This is simply a quick overview of what happened. There were many anti customer interactions during this whole ridiculous exchange. Hopefully the two teen gals who witnessed it all got it on video. This woman needs to be fired ASAP. I may have been heated but this woman forced things WAY too far for no good reason. I still can't believe it. I've said it before, but I'm never going back to this location. It's that ridiculous. Please read earlier posts. And definitely stay away from this location (and person). Unless you liked getting f@&$"; by "managerial" staff. #fireher
