All of this would have been okay but the food wasn't anything to talk about. Bagels were sub par and for a Jersey themed restaurant I had higher expectations. The woman behind the counter was nice and attentive.

I'm a born and bred Jersey girl that spent my summers with my grandparents in NC. I've enjoyed the…read moredelicacy known as Eastern Carolina Barbecue my whole life. I'm not sure when my family started frequenting Gardner's or which location but I can tell you it's a staple in my deep freezer. My family always brings pints of Pork barbecue, a 1/2 pint of Turkey barbecue, 2 dozen hush puppies (for me, only) and Cole slaw. Now that my family has moved to Rocky Mount, I stopped by on the way out. In 40yrs, I've never had the hush puppies fresh out the grease. I almost had to pull over!! The hush puppies are delicious reheated but WOW!, fresh?!? I easily at the dozen on the ride back home. Gardner's are the ONLY hush puppies I eat because they are moist, sweet and do not contain onions. Just as they are supposed to be. My family and I went through the drive thru and were pleasantly greeted. Although short of staff our food was prepared and packaged quickly. The operator even paid me the nicest compliment which absolutely made my day. If you've never experienced Eastern Carolina barbecue and all it's vinegary goodness you have to try Gardner's. It's as authentic as it gets.

*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.

Went here for lunch with our son. We went around 12:30 and had no problem being seated…read more The menu is limited and I ordered the loaded fries with a side ceasar salad. The fries were delicious and I loved the fact they brought it out with the dressing on the side. Usually when I order a Ceasar salad it is smothered in dressing almost unbearable to eat but Meet and Bread served it up perfectly. You could either dress nice or casual and it would be fitting. Our server was very professional and made sure to check on us throughout the time we were there. Only con is towards the latter part of our meal water started dripping from the ceiling on my arm periodically...Just enough to be worrisome but not enough to keep me from coming back. Look forward to our next visit.

We have zero complaints about food, service, and/or the environment. This will become my goto spot!!! Pay them a visit when you can, you will not regret it.

I eat a lot on the road, and…read moreunlike the KFC in Roanoke Rapids, NC, I did not slip and slide across the floor, nor did my feet stick to the floor as they do in Emporia, VA. The store smelled like fried chicken, not old fryer oil. The assistant manager was even out on the floor helping clean, moving booths and trash cans and sweeping and mopping the floor. I am a former food service manager, and am rarely impressed enough to comment on the cleanliness of a restaurant. Not only did I comment on it to the shift leader and the assistant manager, I had the assistant manager get her district manager on the phone and told her in person. In addition to being clean-front and back-every part of the building that I could see was clean-all of the employees were clean, well kept, polite and even friendly (really, the guy pulling the garbage in the back did not have to say good evening, but he did). We both had the $5 fill up with Chicken Tenders, one with Cole Slaw and one with Potato Wedges. Everything was hot and fresh.

Everything was great, including the customer service!
