    First off the waitress was incredibly kind. The restaurant itself was disgusting. The seats were ripped up and the bathroom was nasty as..! Both orders came out incorrect as well.

    The Garbage Pile - yum!

    Was road tripping through the area and needed some breakfast. This place is the cute classic diner you see in movies. Fast service and food that hits the spot!

    Like they weren't even trying. The food was wrong. Then bad. Service the same. No one in the place seemed to care.

    The cook doesn't have a mask on and the waiters don't have their mask over their nose. They also don't have 6 feet tables in the diner.

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.

Upon arrival on a Saturday morning a nice young man quickly seated us at a table and said "your waitress will be right with you". And it went straight downhill from there. To set the stage, besides my wife and I there were two other couples ... so 6 people at 3 tables. 2 waitresses and it looked like 5 more people at the bar and in the kitchen. The employees outnumbered the customers. We sat and looked over the menu. Choices looked INCREDIBLE!! One waitress was covering each of the other two tables. So they each had one. We waited in excess of ten minutes and no one even acknowledged our existence. No "I'll be right with you". No "what would you like to drink?" No "let me get you some waters" We watched our waitress passed right by us no less than five times (her other table was right next to ours). The last time, when she went behind the bar and started sipping a drink and looked right at us ... we got up and left. Now everyone is allowed to have a bad day. And we will go back and give them a second chance and will gladly change this 1 star rating. But this is a small family run restaurant in a building that has been dozens of other things over the years. Reasonable customer service is a must. And not speaking to customers at all is unacceptable. So we'll go back and try again and we're hoping this is a one off and this restaurant is very successful.

I got fish and chips and unfortunately, I can say I've gotten better at Applebee's. Our adult children were joining us for dinner and luckily they were late so we ordered when they finally got there we told them to go somewhere else to eat. Our tab was $59.08 and we left a $10 tip on the table. I won't ever go back. when you're Irish and you have a mammy and an aunt Katie, you know how this food is supposed to come out, I was raised on it, thought we were going for some comfort food with my people and boy, was I disappointed. They were out of shepherds pie. That was probably a blessing. The staff was pleasant enough, but not very attentive. Somebody did ask me about my food and she even noticed that my husband's plate didn't look right, but she never made a reappearance. if you order tea it's gonna come in a bottle, if I was told that or if I was presented the bottle unopened, I would've declined it and got a Coke. Was it an off night? No, I think that this was standard operating procedure by the clientele that was in there and I guess when you don't know any better you think it's great, but when you know better, you know it's well below par.

Shortly it became very crowded! Ordered ribs but advised not ready until 5pm. Got the pulled pork baked potato. Pork didn't seem cooked well. Very light pink and wet. I didn't complain. Just swept it off & ate as much of the huge potato that I could. Brisket ( we were originally told it would not be ready till five then they came back and said they did have it.) very dry and the plate not worth $34! May be bad timing? They were highly recommended. Almost $100 for lunch which would have been fine if we enjoyed the meal.
