I didn't have any problems with the service everyone was polite and welcoming. From the old pictures not much has changed inside, they painted over the walls so the Carolina Diner isn't there on the wall anymore. Food is really good in my opinion. I had a sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit with a side of bacon bc I wanted to try more of the things for a more comprehensive review, also had some home fries. As my friend had told me "we're in biscuit country" (I was thinking of bagels for breakfast) he was right. Good thing is too no matter the time of day, you can order any part of the menu which is nice

The home fries were amazing, just like the waitress said they would be. Very happy I got my food from there today when I was traveling from Asheville to Morganton for a photo shoot.

I got the restaurant around 10:45am they were serving breakfast and lunch. The biscuits and gravy,…read morebacon and eggs coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled so good. I was surpised to see there was one cook, Chris, cooking all the food. He made an awesome Cheese Burger . I would without a doubt recommend his cooking. The restaurant was clean and organized. I like the blue marble effect they have on the counters/tables and surf board on the front wall. Quiet, hometown feeling. The restrooms were clean and fully stocked. The waitresses greeted me with a smile and were friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you want some good food, the only negative thing that I found about the place was the fact that it closes at 2:00 p.m. daily.

Sunday morning breakfast buffet. It's hard to go wrong there and Abele's did a very good job. A…read morefriendly waitress brought our carafe of coffee and while Mrs. K. decided to order from the menu, I started on the buffet. Before I was back with my first plate, her French Toast arrived. A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]

Eye rolls when I asked for one thing. The main problem was the credit card charge. It's for credit cards only. I told the woman at the front that I was paying with a debit card. She added the credit charge. This is, according to Visa, fraudulent. I told her l what I was told, that Visa said that you can't charge a credit charge on a debit purchase. She dismissed my comment, saying "that's the way it's set up here." The reason is set up that way is that they set it up that way. Also, She pulled my check away so that I wouldn't notice the difference. I love a local business. The food is good, and it's a much loved institution here. I don't appreciate someone stealing from me. Pay cash, or eat elsewhere.

1/2 Review: The Allard Bakery and Bistro…read more We stopped in for a late lunch and were immediately greeted and seated, always a great first impression. Our table setup included two chairs and a couch. While comfortable, the couch sat noticeably lower than the tabletop, making it a bit awkward for dining. This was the only minor knock during our visit. Service, however, was outstanding. Our server, Austin, was kind, engaging, and genuinely attentive to our needs. The pacing was spot-on and the hospitality felt effortless and warm. Now for the food. We ordered the Farm Burger featuring Kobe beef, an over-easy egg, bourbon pork belly, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, and baby mixed greens. It arrived beautifully plated and cooked exactly as ordered. We upgraded to the truffle fries, which were absolutely worth it. Crispy, flavorful, and indulgent without being over the top. We also enjoyed the seasonal roasted beet salad, a refreshing and well-balanced dish with strawberries, roasted candied pecans, and a variety of beets that played together nicely in both flavor and texture. Pricing felt appropriate for the quality of ingredients, thoughtful plating, and excellent flavors coming out of the kitchen. All in all, a fantastic experience with just a small seating hiccup keeping it from a full five stars. A return visit is definitely planned.

We visited The Allard Bakery and Bistro in Hudson during lunch hours and left with mixed…read moreimpressions, but also a strong desire to return for dinner. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a modern meets classic charm that sets the tone for a thoughtful dining experience. I had my eye on the shrimp gnocchi, which several reviewers rave about, but unfortunately it was unavailable that day. We started with side Caesars which was fresh and crisp, though fairly standard. I ordered the Jadore Chicken Garden Salad and asked if I could substitute grilled chicken for crispy, but was told no. Oddly, when the salad arrived, it had grilled chicken after all. It was good, just not particularly memorable. My husband had the steak and eggs, which he said were cooked perfectly. Again, solid execution, but nothing that stood out. That said, the overall quality of the main courses was very good. Looking over the dinner menu, we are eager to come back in the evening. The real magic happened at dessert. We overheard a staff member mention that one of the women behind the counter makes many of the desserts herself, and she may be from Italy. Our server couldn't stop praising her crème brûlée and key lime tart, so we had to try both. The crème brûlée was smooth and flavorful, though a bit softer than I prefer. But the key lime tart? Absolutely phenomenal. My husband, a Tampa native and self-proclaimed key lime aficionado, broke his keto diet for it--and declared it one of the best he's ever had. I don't usually like key lime, but even I was impressed. Tangy, creamy, and perfectly balanced--it's a must-try if you're anywhere near Hudson. Service was friendly, and while there were a few small hiccups, the warmth and pride the staff take in their food really shines through. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and to get another slice of that unforgettable tart.

The menu is good size and has a nice variety of apps, salads, sandwiches and entrees. Mandarin salad had a lot of bacon pieces and sugared pecans.

Our food was incredibly delicious - I had wanted the ribeye but sadly they were out - so I hesitantly ordered the NY Strip (I don't normally care for them) and it was beyond amazing, tender, wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked!! The Pineapple Upside Down Cake, which I truly didn't think I'd have room for as I had devoured every bite of my dinner - well let's just say there wasn't a crumb left. By the time we left (after hanging around just talking to everyone for a half hour) we truly felt more like family than customers. We had wanted so badly to get back again before we left, but we ran out of time and just never made it back in town. But it is definitely on our list of places to return to next year - one of the highlights of our vacation this year! You guys absolutely rock!
