Traveling in a business trip and starving is never good. As I was passing through the area, Yelp…read morebrought me to Dallas Tavern. It was mid afternoon with a small late lunch crowd. Ordered wings and loaded fries. Not sure I would call them loaded as they come with bacon, cheese and scallions. On this day, they came out with cheese and bacon. I had to request the scallions and they were brought out in a small cup. The fries were...ok, not HOT. The wings..definitely crispy however most were missing the dry rub and had feathers all over them. Being a major wing fan, this may have slowed my roll with ordering wings anytime soon. My advice to the restaurant. 1. Source cleaner, higher quality wings. 2. Up the game on the loaded fries, more ingredients and make sure what's included is on the fries...deliver them HOT. 3. Have salt and pepper on the tables.

I ordered the loaded fries. They were to have cheese, bacon and scallions. They came out with shredded cheese on the middle of the pile of fries, bacon with ranch on the side and that's all. I had to ask for the scallions but by then it was too late The cheese had already chilled and they fell off. The fries needed to be crispier. The iced tea was ok. We had to ask for salt as there was none on the table. This place could be good. It was lacking greatly.

Annual membership is $5 and allows you to bring one guest 21 and over. Everyone is carded here no matter your age, so don't be offended. When you first walk in there are 3 pool tables - two are coin op (there is a change machine) and the "Pro" table is rent by the hour. At the back are three dart boards and the restrooms. Five taps which were heavy on OMB (not a fave) and a moderate selection of canned beer. Was happy to see Hazy Little Thing and Guinness. I just kind of went with the flow my first visit and never really saw a price menu to compare draft vs. can; I believe cans were about $5 each. The Lafayette also offers a cocktail menu to members. Pretty cool hangout. No rowdy people, just chill ones. Not sure if the beer prices will work for or against them - only time will tell. And of course I'll be back, I'm a member now after all....

The Magnolia Room is an upscale cocktail bar conveniently located on the first floor of the…read moreFairfield Inn in downtown Morganton. The decor inside is nice, with magnolia wood tables that give the space a sophisticated yet cozy feel. A sign posted said that the bar is not owned or operated by the hotel, so you cannot bill your drinks directly to your room tab. Additionally, they serve beverages only, so don't expect any food, appetizers, or light snacks. You will want to eat before you arrive or after. For drinks, they offer a standard selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. While they don't have mocktails explicitly listed on the drink menu, the friendly bartender offered to mix up a non-alcoholic version of their popular "Front Porch Swing" cocktail for me. It was a beautiful, blueberry-flavored mocktail that tasted fantastic. My only real concern is that the space was exceptionally quiet, with only three customers total on a Friday night, which makes me wonder how much regular business they get. However, if you are staying at the hotel and want a beautiful, quiet spot for a premium drink, it is absolutely worth popping in.

So we decided that we were going to give it a try. After looking at a menu and being approached by the host who gave us a brief introduction to the menu we were in for sure. We asked to sit indoors with it being a windy and somewhat humid day. They have plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas. We were informed later by our excellent server, Ashlee that there is also seating upstairs! We forgot to take a tour! The decor is very chic, but not overly done. We were seated at a table, but booths are available as well. Even the women's restroom with chic. It needed to be picked up a bit but was nice. Our server Ashlee was excellent! Her upbeat personality and friendliness was in the 10 rating! For only being at the restaurant a couple of weeks I think her vibes will keep bringing customers back. But not only her vibes, the food is very good too! My friends were very happy with their main meal, me as well! I had the Chicken Panini and the companion (side dish) I selected was the Pan Fried Corn. Both very good! We did order shareables too! The Southwest egg rolls and the Charcuterie Board. We were very happy with both! I would definitely order them again. I ordered two alcoholic drinks. My first drink was called the Bees Knees (ginger, honey, lemon bourbon) and an Espresso Martini. Both were good. The ginger was very mild in the Bees Knees. We were quite full so we were not able to enjoy our desserts at the restaurant but did order them to go. We ordered the Crème Brûlée and Key Lime Cheesecakes to go. I enjoyed the Key Lime, a good balance of sweet and tart. A little perfumme for me but still good.The feedback on the Crème Brûlée, was ok. I didn't try it. When I visit this area again, I would surely come back here and try some other items on the menu. Parking in this area can be quite busy, especially on the weekends. We came during the weekday in July after 1pm. We had to circle a few times before we got a parking spot. Come early!
