    Good Q here...
    William E.

    So I was in NC on business and found myself bound to try Lexington Barbeque. I went there & I thought it was good...not great...but good. So on the way home I needed one more BBQ sandwich to ensure a good night sleep and came across CJ's on my way back to the hotel. I just ordered a BBQ sandwich...but I thought it was better than Lexington. Here are my reasons why.... 1) the pork had a much better smoke taste to it 2) the pork wasn't chopped into a thick mush & had a couple of good sized chunks in it as well as a bit of "bark" here & there 3) attitude...the people at CJ's were happy to see you & greeted me with a very nice smile when I walked in the door even thought it was 15 minutes before the closed. Although the guy that waited on me at Lexington was more than pleasant...the woman at the register was almost irritated with me that I needed a receipt. In summary....go to Lexington so that you can say that you've been there...but head over to CJ's for a really great chopped BBQ sandwich.

    Delicious

    They apparently have a food truck now. Had the burger At Gypsy Road Brewery. It was good. Service…read morewas a tad slow but the people were very nice. Good fries too.

    Mmmmmm....OMG! We had intentions of driving to Mocksville to try this out for months and today was…read morethe day. It was a little hard to find because a road is closed in the vicinity but we were able to find it using the Waze app. The building itself is a large steel structure which has been nicely finished on both inside and out. We arrived about 4:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and were immediately greeted. We were taken to a booth and there were a couple of other tables seated. Immediately, you could tell this was a family run business with multiple generations pitching in. The young man who took our drink order was friendly and efficient. They have quite a few taps on the back wall but they were not in service and therefore were only offering cans and bottles. The menu says they currently have malfunctions with their cooler. We were given time to peruse the menu but were checked in on to ensure we didn't have questions. The menu offers burgers, fries and dogs but they are all elevated. There are some very creative and special combinations which as the asterisk notates on the menu some items are unable to be changed. We decided to start with the pub bucket, which offers steak fries along with melted cheddar cheese and ranch. My wife ordered the Elvis burger which features bourbon glazed apples, peanut butter, banana chutney and cheddar cheese. I chose the Godfather which features salami, pepperoni and mozzarella, and I chose to get the creamy garlic pesto on the side. My wife went to use the restroom and on her way back she reported that it was very clean and she happened to notice their recent state inspection certificate boasted an impressive 99.5! Our appetizer arrived in a timely manner and while it looked different (we are used to restaurants serving fries with cheese melted with a side of ranch) this had the fries topped with cheese and the ranch poured on top. But let me tell you they were delicious! Lots of heavenly cheddar cheese which was perfectly melted and gooey topped with delicious ranch dressing. Our burgers arrived shortly afterwards and are wrapped up when served. We began to unwrap and they also looked delicious. My wife immediately started eating hers while my camera ate first. My wife commented that her burger was absolutely delicious and said she was a bit iffy at first on the cheddar cheese being served with the sweet toppings but was happy to report she thought it worked perfectly and she was glad she didn't alter the burger. My burger was a double and huge! Since I had asked for the aoili on the side because I am not a mayo guy and while it was very good I should have asked for some ketchup to dip my burger in. I enjoyed it alot and saved half for later. My wife had her eye on the apple ring sundae. It is Granny Smith apple rings, sliced and cored and dipped in cinnamon sugar and deep fried, topped with vanilla ice cream and cool whip and drizzled with homemade caramel sauce. She ordered the half version which includes three rings. It took a little longer for the dessert to arrive because by this time they had started to get busy with a majority of the inside tables full as well as a few outdoor tables and several to go orders. The dessert arrived and my wife was happy to report it was also delicious. So glad we finally stopped in and we already have talked about our next time. It was apparent from our time there that they have a following and it is easy to see why. We did ask about onion rings and were told they plan to bring back again in the fall. Awesome service, creative menu, clean and family run. Plan your visit!

    Youngest daughter and I went to lunch today. Got there early, only a couple customers. My hot…read morebuffalo wings were fine. Unfortunately, my daughter's medium boneless wings were STONE COLD. We are talking they were sitting out a little too long. They were room temperature cold and hard. I swear they were from the night before. It awful. Our server made it right and comped her meal. But in all seriousness, boneless wings take a few minutes to cook. And you couldn't get THAT right? 10/10 to our server. She was a sweetheart and was apologetic. 2/10 for the lazy slugs in the kitchen who failed miserably at the simplest of tasks. Pitiful.

    Bumping East Coast Wings up a star after a few additional visits since my last review back in 2023…read more In the past, my issues were with the consistency with the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. I have been back a few times since and these issues have been corrected. Food has been on point and the cleanliness of the tables has not been an issue. Service is always very good. Wings are always the best option here. Several flavors and heat levels to choose from. If you want to stray from the wings, then I recommend the wraps or cob salad. That cob salad was actually very good and would highly recommend. Beers on tab and a full bar. Recommend.

    Update: it's been three months since we've been here. Hard to believe that much time has passed…read more Mae and I got the burger special and my wife got the fried chicken sandwich. All three came with crinkle cut fries, my personal favorite. Burger toppings were fresh and cold. Plenty of pickles on the burgers. Chicken sandwich was crispy and tasty. All in all a good meal with food that filled the belly and satisfied the soul. Huffman's is consistent in their food quality which not all restaurants here locally can say. Check their daily specials on Facebook and give these folks a visit. Good food with small town friendliness and service.

    I think everyone on Yelp knows that I am a big fan of Scoops ice cream parlor in downtown…read moreMocksville. But Scoops isn't always open and they don't have food and it can be hard to park downtown, so I'm really happy to visit Hoffman's ice cream and more. You can't miss it right next door to the ABC store, between Big Lot's and Tractor Supply. Never a problem finding parking here. I was happy they were open until 9:00 on a weeknight when I was craving some ice cream. I got a birthday cake on a waffle cone, both of which tasted fresh. My wife and I also took advantage of the two for $6 all beef hot dog deal. Love that char grill flavor on the dog. They have other specials posted for each day of the week, and I haven't even mentioned the arcade with a pool table, air hockey, actual pinball machines, and some others. Looking forward to making this a regular stop.
