We came on a Fri for lunch as we were travelling down I-85. The place has a great unique, local,…read moredowntown vibe. The menu seemed attractive - which was one of the reasons we elected to visit. My bride ordered the Salmon Sandwich ($17) and she commented that it was a great fresh piece of fish and really enjoyed it. I went with the Pesto Turkey Club ($13) and it was tasty. My recommendation is to add more turkey and raise the price. Service from our server (young man....didn't get his name) was prompt and very hospitable.

Food- skimpy and mediocre depending on if they're in a good mood or a bad mood. So anyway, yesterday was just awful and I'll never be back. Obviously I'd never recommend to anyone, unless you like civil abuse and overpriced, underserved, mediocre food and extremely rude employees coming off of their hangovers or head meds.

The Grecian tips are absolutely horrible. What I was served was some UNSEASONED thin and dry pork…read morechop medallion with peppers and onions. This has to be the worse thing on the menu. When I think of Grecian tips I'm thinking of Greek MARINADED beef or pork strips (wish they specified on the menu). At least put a grain of salt and pepper on it. I'm writing this feedback not to bash Palms Cafe but to hopefully get the owner and/or cooks to taste test their food from time to time. I also ordered buffalo wings...tasted like they were cooked with zero love. Heated in an oven or microwave and DRENCHED/SWIMMING in buffalo sauce. Wings should be fried crispy and tossed in the sauce. If anyone think I'm exaggerating go there and order the Grecian tips and buffalo wings and tell me I'm not on point with my review. I would love for the owner to reach out to me for a revisit on these 2 menu items after they revamp them‼

We went to Palms Café last Saturday night about 45 minutes before they closed. When we went in,…read morethere was two other couples eating, but the restaurant had plenty of seating for their more busy hours. The menu had lots of options to choose from, but it wasn't overwhelming. Our food was delivered to us quickly. I was very impressed with their Greek salad and salmon. My daughter's got a hamburger and chicken nuggets. The fries were great, and they also had an array of homemade cakes. I really regret not getting one. Our waitress was great looked after us and answered all our questions. When I go back to Salisbury, I won't hesitate to come here again.

This last…read moretime we were told a 10 minute wait but it only turned out to be about three minutes before we were seated. The inside is very clean and countryfied in their decor, and the people who work here are very friendly and positive people. When you go there and are seated, you feel like you're a regular. It's hard to choose from the menu, because it's huge. The last time I went, I brought my grandson and we both decided right off that we will have breakfast. We are huge breakfast lovers. We chose what we wanted and ordered, our drinks came out and the food followed fast. Everything was perfect. They have some of the absolute best pancakes ever. I should've ordered the short stack (two pancakes) but I ended up ordering the large one by mistake. No worries, it was still fabulous. Lots of pecans and the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. Grandson ordered the meat lovers omelette and said it was the best one he's ever had. There was an almost unbelievable amount of meat in that omelette. I took a small bite and it was very good. We've had other things in the past, their eggs Benedict are superior as well as their hash browns. Before you go, do not neglect the dessert cabinet by the register. They make a fabulous rainbow cake.

I've stopped in a couple of times for a late breakfast. Breakfastime is good, but not the greatest!…read more So far I have consumed the pineapple upside-down pancakes, and the nut and fruit croissant French toast. The pancakes themselves are light and fluffy, while the croissant French toast isn't exactly up to par in my opinion. These are both great themes and are great breakfast treats for once in a while, but I'm looking for more flavor in them! They don't have as much flavor as you would expect. Bacon is good (crunchy and hot), eggs are great (hard scrambled), and the home fries are pretty good, but if you don't like seasoning, don't order them. I would like a bit more of a crunch in those home fries, also. Both times, service has been quick and attentive. When you run out of drink, your server immediately fills it back up (take note other restaurants), and the restaurant itself definitely feels like an old-timer farmhouse restaurant. If you are in Salisbury, this is a great option for breakfast, but I would recommend you also go to Palms for breakfast, or even Marlowe's also.

Now, the prices are so affordable and for the quality an amount is well worth every dollar. The staff is attentive and friendly. Special thank you to the cooks! Plenty of parking and with the restaurant being on High Rock Lake there are boat slips within easy walking distance. My only complaint is it's 11:2 hours from my home.

My friend had a cinnamon crunch bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and said it was delicious! We ate every bite! It was also fast service! Four of us were able to place orders, eat, socialize, and get out in less than an hour. Super speedy! Minus one star because it is so smoky inside. They have a grill area where they cook, which is fine, but there is no hood/ventilation and so when they grill anything, the smoke just goes out into the restaurant. The four of us who ate there smelled like bacon smoke the entire afternoon. Will continue to eat from here, just maybe not inside until the ventilation sees an improvement.

Their staff is nice and the inside of the restaurant is so clean and cozy, it's really nice. This is a nice place to eat. I have tried so many of their dishes and specials, I honestly can't list them all, everything is good. I love the pot roast when they have it, the ribeye is good, the side dishes are all good, the greek dishes are good, the burgers are really good- the best burgers in town. Just everything is good, I like everything. The breakfast is good also. Even if you are a picky eater and don't like as much of a variety of food as I do, you will love whatever you order here. There is something for everybody. The owner is such a kind and hardworking, sincerely nice person who cares about her customers, and her food is the best!

I. Love. Scrambled!…read more I've never had a bad meal when visiting Scrambled. It's not only my favorite breakfast place in the area, it's in my Top 10 overall. I've ordered everything from the menu at least once and never regretted it. The skillets are particularly good, as are the pancakes. But, a warning, the pancakes are big! I am a big eater and I rarely finish one pancake, so I don't recommend ordering two. The only complaint I have, and it's a small one, is that I always sit at the bar and at some point they removed the TV that hung on the wall behind it. It was great to catch up on news or sports while I ate instead of trying to hold my phone in one hand. My recommendation is you should try Scrambled as soon as you can.

From a former fan of the Happy Egg until they implemented a so-called credit card fee (something…read morethey had not done last year) after introducing their new menus early in 2026. In speaking with others in the restaurant business, they say included in the menu price is not only their food costs, but also all their overhead costs - including credit card processing fees - so begs the questions, why do some places add a fee for using a credit card? So I did a bit of research, and here is what I found: NC is moving toward tighter regulations A 2025 bill (House Bill 13) proposes: * A 2% cap on surcharges * Mandatory disclosure at the entrance and point of sale * A ban on surcharges if the business only accepts credit cards It hasn't fully passed yet, but it has momentum. If it becomes law, it will standardize what restaurants can charge and how they must disclose it. Check whether the fee applies to all cards If the restaurant charges the same fee for: * debit cards NOTE: Happy Egg, my server told me, charges 4% to use a Debit Card * credit cards * even prepaid cards ...that's a red flag. Why: Debit card processing is much cheaper. Charging the same fee across the board suggests the fee isn't tied to actual processing costs -- it's just extra revenue layered on top of already‑priced‑in costs. Look for "cash discount" language If the receipt says: * "Non‑cash adjustment" (Happy Egg charges 4% to use a credit card) * "Cash discount applied" ...but the menu prices are already high, it often means: * the "cash discount" is just the real price, * and the card price is inflated on top of it. This is one of the most common double‑dip setups. How to spot when a 6. Watch for restaurants that only recently added a fee If you've been going to a place for years and suddenly see: * a new 3-4% fee * with no change in menu prices ...it's very likely they simply added the fee without adjusting their pricing structure. The simplest rule of thumb If a restaurant: * never lowered menu prices, * adds a credit‑card fee, * and charges the same fee for all cards, you're almost certainly seeing double dipping. restaurant is double dipping
