She kept the beverages filled. And got the food order right. Food - the food was cooked to order, so it was hot and tasted great. They offer 2 daily specials see the picture of the menu. It was Thursday so they had BBQ Chicken and Hamburger Steak. You get two vegetables and a roll. Deserts were also made daily in house. Price - the daily lunch special was $12.99 = meat, 2 veggies and a roll. Ambiance- Clean, well lighted, up scale at a $$ price. Plenty of parking

Super friendly service and a warm inviting atmosphere with table linens and seating that is nicely spaced to afford you more intimacy than most places. We shared a couple of the starters: Philly egg rolls and the spinach dip with fresh made pita chips. Both were excellent. We also had the chicken wrap, shrimp wrap, Cobb salad, and the chicken salad. All of the entrees were great. My favorite had to be the fresh cut and fried potato slices- whatever you order, don't miss those! It's a banquet hall and catering business but it does a very brisk brunch business and there were three groups there who were celebrating special occasions, so it can accommodate groups of various sizes pretty easily.

If you're from Wilson County, you already know--Mayflower Seafood is the spot. Every time I come…read moreback home to visit, it's at the top of my list. This place isn't just a restaurant, it's a tradition. One of the waitresses (Ms. Marie!) has been there for at lea 25 years, and she truly makes the experience special. She's warm, welcoming, and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. And of course, the food never disappoints. Everything is consistently delicious, perfectly seasoned, and the portions are just right--not too much, not too little. It's the kind of meal you look forward to and leaves you satisfied every time. Mayflower isn't just a place to eat--it's a staple of the community and a must-visit whenever you're in town.

I love this place. I am pescatarian so TBH, this is a slice of heaven to me in meat-heavy Wilson…read more I always get the broiled fish unless I'm feeling skinny, which isn't often. "Salad, no bacon." I now tell them to hold the side of clarified butter because I don't need to eat a couple little tub of melted butter. They give you so much. My go-to is any broiled seafood item, baked potato, side salad no bacon. Their dressings are fantastic (taste like Ken's) and their salads are ample. I've tried their bloomin onion knock-off and we like it better than Outback. I don't order it often; y'all know why by now. I'm fluffy and don't need more fluff. I only order if I haven't weighed myself that day. A Mayflower dinner is always two meals for me. It is a great value. The A#1 best server there (and anywhere in Wilson) is CHANNING. Ask for him; you won't be sorry. He is a kind and attentive server and a southern gentlemen. The ambiance is warm and inviting. It's a great place for large groups or a quiet dinner for 2. This place has a great family feel, quick service, a reliable kitchen, and wonderful staff. That's a 5-star review for me!

Wards is definitely not home cooked food the only thing they make from scratch is their meats…read moreeverything else is heat and serve food I actually seen the owners wife stocking up at Fred's lol but a blind man can see that the food isn't homemade I tried the turkey wings multiple times and they are always salty they taste like a bucket of salt the Mac and cheese is boiler bag and it taste horrible the potato salad is resers Amish style and it's decent I also tried the smothered pork chop which didn't have much flavor the gravy was the kind you get from kfc etc and they call their self doctoring it up but they just made it salty smh idk why they have so many customers but then again it's Wilson and there's not much to pick from overall I'd love to support my black business but it's not worth the high blood pressure

Today's food was hot and tasty (the "huge" spicy chicken sandwich) and the service was excellent. Kendall was great, checking on me just often enough.

My experience today was nothing like some of the older poorer reviews I've seen. I think they have upped their game and hopefully this will be for the long term.

My husband and I stopped into Jack's for dinner, and while the atmosphere was nice, I found the…read moremenu challenging due to my gluten and dairy allergies. There were very few options that fit my dietary needs. I ultimately ordered the ribs, but the only sides available to me were the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. All three items came with sauces, which made the overall meal feel overly sauced and heavy. My husband ordered the hush puppies and said they had good flavor, but they seemed like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while rather than coming out fresh. The ribs themselves were cooked well, but the sauce was extremely vinegar-forward--not sweet, but quite tangy. Combined with the balsamic glaze on the Brussels sprouts and the brown sugar and possible maple syrup on the sweet potatoes, everything together felt a bit overwhelming in terms of sauces and sweetness. For those with food allergies, be prepared to order à la carte and expect limited choices for sides. I would consider dining here again, but next time I'd make more selective choices to better suit my dietary restrictions.

I called to make a reservation about a month in advance, as we were a group of 26. The staff I worked with over the phone leading up to the dinner was friendly, helpful and communicative. They called to confirm about a week prior and asked if we wanted to create any special menus for our event, which was a very nice gesture. On the day of, the restaurant called for a final confirmation and offered us the private back room for the evening. This worked out perfectly! The food was absolutely incredible and exceeded expectations. The team all enjoyed their meals, which was a variety of orderings, and the adults raved about the dishes ordered, as well. The shrimp and grits was perfection, the French onion soup was flavorful and perfect after a cold, rainy day and the pork chop was seasoned incredibly. The waitstaff worked so hard to accommodate our large group and even helped us divide up billing, which is always a huge ask. We had a fun and scrumptious evening at an amazing locally owned restaurant! If you are in or around Wilson, NC do yourself a favor and eat at Jack's!
