Old style family fish house…read more This is the type of place I came to love when I moved to the Piedmont back in the 1970's. We had a few of them back in the Mountains when I was growing up but here in the Piedmont, they were an institution. Not as popular as they used to be and some have closed but this is one of the best remaining ones. Located in Gaston County next to the South Fork River. It has they feel of a place where everyone is made to feel immediately at home. Like most fish camps, fried fish is the rule of thumb and theirs is excellent. Nice and crispy and while tartar sauce it the norm, I prefer either just lemon or malt vinegar. No problem. They also have fried oysters and fried chicken livers which I have had both as well as deviled crab. Portions are huge and I always end up taking the leftovers home. Staff is very friendly and helpful and place is immaculate. Service is great. Highly recommend.

The same staff member from last time. I could just cry knowing that people are coming here and receiving this kind of inattentive and unwillingness to insure food quality for customers. I hope this restaurant turns around and they do better because I truly want it to be successful. I may wait awhile and give it another try. Maybe. The rolls looked so bad.

Interesting waterfront restaurant/bar located in residential community featuring an outpatient area…read moreoverlooking the community marina and river. Started with a cold beer at the inside bar and was disappointed that my friends selected outside seating on the patio as it was 95 and extremely humid. After a 15 minute our server Chris finally came outside and set us up with water and silverware ( we were the only customers stupid enough to seat outside that day ). The menu was extensive featuring your typical appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, chicken and seafood. Decided on the turkey wrap, which although was well portioned with your cold cut turkey, was soggy and immediately fell apart when I bit into it. My friends did enjoy their she crab soup and grilled chicken salads. Overall interesting bar and grill offering a wide variety of food items and featuring an outside patio with bar providing looks of both the marina and river.

Listen! I have been searching high and low for a place that has basa fish and this place not only…read morehas basa but damn near every other fish you can think of. Including my other favorite, red snapper. The menu has a ton of options. I kept it light and just ordered the basa sandwich and a side of fried okra. Love me some okra! The basa sandwich did not disappoint! They give 3 nice size pieces of fish. Perfectly fried. Not greasy. It was hard to tell what all I could have on my sandwich since that wasn't visible on the menu but the owner insisted I could build it however I want. So I did mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese on a bun. I got my tarter sauce & hot sauce on the side. She served my sandwich w/o the cheese due to it not over powering thr flavor. I was too hungry to care so I ate it anyway. I can eat it with out without but since she didn't charge me for the cheese, I didn't complain. It was so good I never sat it back down once I picked it up. Sandwich in one had, my free hand grabbing the fried okra bites. The fried okra was also fried perfectly but could have used a little more flavor. Sometimes it's tricky with okra bc too much seasoning will make it unbearable. I'd rather it have less seasoning than too much. Would order it again! I also grabbed a lemon pound cake. Not sure it if was actually lemon and couldn't say anything while there since I ate it once I got home. The size of the piece was huge but was more on the dry side and didn't taste lemony. Could have been traditional pound cake. They have a lunch special for $10 I saw on the street sign while leaving. I'm definitely coming back! Damn near once a month if I can. But will for sure be a regular. It's located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking!

First time at a Seafood Boil Spot…read more I was very pleased with the quality of the food for the price. This was my first time going and it definitely won't be my last. The fried whiting was a great portion fried perfectly, flaky, and the plate was very filling. The coleslaw was AMAZING! The only downside was that the food was a little too salty for my taste, I got the seafood boil, but now that I know, that's something I can ask to have adjusted next time. My only real disappointment was the "butter." It tasted more like movie-theater popcorn butter than actual butter. Definitely not a fan of that.....yuck! SERVICE WAS TOP NOTCH, wish I remember her name. Overall, though, the food was delicious, the portions were great, and we will absolutely be back!

I don't normally leave reviews this detailed, and I want to start by saying the food at The Juicy…read moreCrab Gastonia is usually very good. We've eaten here before and continue coming back because we genuinely enjoy the food. Even tonight, our food was good. Unfortunately, the service and overall organization of the restaurant were unacceptable. We arrived around 9 PM and were told by two different servers that someone would be with us "in a second." We were seated around 9:11, but then continued waiting without much acknowledgment. Around 9:25, the person who appeared to be the manager finally came over and took our order after we had already watched the bartender ask them several minutes earlier to assist us. As we sat there, it became obvious just how overwhelmed the restaurant was. There appeared to be only four active servers, each handling around nine tables, most of which were four-tops. At that point, I don't think it's fair to simply blame the servers. Trying to provide attentive service to potentially 30+ guests each is an unreasonable workload. We could clearly hear other tables complaining about the service as well. We also watched finished drinks sit on the bar instead of being run to customers. Some sat long enough that they eventually had to be remade, creating even more work for an already overwhelmed bar and making customers wait even longer. The bartender deserves specific recognition because he was clearly doing everything he could. In addition to making drinks for the restaurant, he was covering several tables and eventually ours as well. He brought our food out around 9:38-9:46 and was literally out of breath from running around. He was not the problem here. We also watched another couple come in and wait for approximately 20 minutes. Eventually, they went and sat themselves at the bar, presumably hoping someone would finally acknowledge them. They still weren't helped and ultimately got up and walked out. We finally received our check around 10:30 PM, and I asked the bartender if they were short-staffed because it was obvious this wasn't a normal situation. We were told approximately five employees had called out that night and two kitchen employees had recently quit. From what we could see, the person who appeared to be the manager was also helping cover the back of house while the kitchen was being slammed with dine-in, to-go, and DoorDash orders. Knowing all of that actually made me more sympathetic toward the employees working that night. This didn't look like a restaurant full of people who simply didn't care. It looked like a handful of employees being asked to handle more than they could realistically keep up with. However, understanding why the restaurant was struggling doesn't make the experience acceptable. My biggest issue is that the restaurant continued accepting and seating customers despite the staff already being completely overwhelmed. If four servers are each carrying around nine tables and customers already inside aren't being properly acknowledged, it's time to slow down seating, put people on a wait, close a section, or at the very least warn incoming customers that service is going to be significantly delayed. Had someone simply told us at 9pm "We've had several call-outs tonight and we're extremely backed up, so service is going to take longer than normal," I would have been much more understanding. Instead, we were told someone would be with us "in a second" and had to figure out for ourselves what was happening. There is a difference between bad service because employees don't care and bad service because employees have been given an impossible workload. Tonight appeared to be the latter, which is why I don't want this review to come across as attacking the servers who were clearly struggling to keep up. At the same time, customers shouldn't be left wondering if anyone is going to acknowledge them, drinks shouldn't be sitting until they need to be remade, and people shouldn't be able to wait 20 minutes, move themselves to the bar, still receive no service, and eventually leave. The frustrating part is that our food was still good, as it usually is. That's why we've continued coming back, and it's what makes tonight so disappointing. The bartender also deserves credit for how hard he was working under the circumstances. I genuinely hope this was just an exceptionally bad night. Being severely short-staffed happens, but when it does, the restaurant needs to adjust the amount of business it accepts and communicate honestly with customers. Tonight's situation was unfair to the customers and, frankly, unfair to the employees who actually showed up and were trying to keep the place running.
