Been here with my parents years ago. I don't think I was too crazy about it at that time…read more When we moved here we have gone here maybe 3 times to give it a chance because my Mom likes Italian restaurants and there are none that are exceptionally good or authentic in the area. We have had the all you can eat buffet before this mess with covid, They have salad stuff and pizza and you can order Spaghetti included at the table. They do also have some dessert pizzas with chocolate on it and another with apples. Let's start with the service. Not crazy about that , let's put it this way. First of all if you order spaghetti and meatballs. As we did the last visit after they reopened for eat in after they could do eat in. The photo shows hardly any sauce. We asked for some More, they wanted to charge!!!! Now when I go to pay for dinner I'd like it the way I enjoy it not the way they want you to eat it!!! I was mad! Asked to see the manager. Not only was the spaghetti not drained enough but hardly any thing on it. Pasta is cheap and so is adding a little extra sauce when they didn't add much, it should be free!!! Your talking maybe a ladell full or a little less? To make a customer happy? When we had the buffet usually unless you go in as soon as they put the pizza out it is usually dry and looks old. You can ask for pizza that in gone and they do bring more out. We are not crazy about their pizza! The best in town is Louie's. His is authentic tasting. Here we are not crazy about the taste. I think We gave it enough chances!!! Most likely we will not go back, there are other restaurants to try in the area. Definitely we were not fans of this place!!

I mean... blueberry or peach bacon pizza? I KNOW what you're thinking: "Blueberry or peach on a pizza? Wtfudge." Trust me, I was a major skeptic too. But don't knock it till you try it because these pies are to die for. So good we ordered extra to take back home to SoFlo -- and even after the road trip, it was still amazing. That's witchcraft. This place is so hot it's literally only open a couple days a week because it needs time to cool off. That's how awesome the pizza is. Get there early or order early because they WILL run out in a heartbeat, and then you'll be mad at yourself... or worse, in the doghouse with the family. Ouch. I didn't even mention the beers on tap or the staff -- but let's be real, if the pizza is hitting at this level, everything else is right there with it. Yellow Sun, keep doing what you're doing. Don't change a thing. You're operating at full strength. See you soon.

If you grew up around Forest City, you probably remember when this Pizza Hut used to be GREAT. Then, somewhere along the way, it went downhill--badly. It got to the point where it seemed like hardly anyone went there anymore, and honestly, I had pretty much written it off. But let me tell you...the Forest City Pizza Hut has made a comeback! Since the remodel, it genuinely feels like a completely different restaurant. It seems like they've brought in employees who actually care about their jobs, their customers, and the quality of the food they're serving--and it shows. Over the past year, we've ordered from them through DoorDash and eaten inside the restaurant numerous times, and we've consistently had great experiences. The tables are always clean, the food comes out exactly how it should, and when we ask for extras or special requests, they actually remember them! That may sound like a small thing, but these days, consistency and attention to detail go a LONG way. Our food is always fresh and on point, the restaurant is clean, and the service has been consistently good. I never thought I'd be writing a glowing review for our local Pizza Hut after how far downhill it once went, but credit where credit is due--they turned this place around. Keep it up, Forest City Pizza Hut!

Despite hearing rave reviews, my visit to Gregory's left much to be desired. Disappointingly, the food fell short of expectations, lacking flavor and served at a lukewarm temperature, leaving me underwhelmed. The excessive use of styrofoam for packaging raised environmental concerns, reflecting a disregard for sustainability and health consciousness. Additionally, the atmosphere felt outdated and uninspiring, failing to create an enjoyable dining environment. Regrettably, based on my experience, I cannot recommend Gregory's as a worthwhile dining destination. Save your time and money for a more satisfying culinary experience elsewhere. read more

The menu reflects the extra charges for dressing or sauces if you want it. The inside is the same as it was, nothing fancy inside. The waitresses all seemed helpful. We tried the chicken wings they were good. The baked spaghetti is almost $10 and you get a small plate and piece of garlic bread and a salad. I tried the ham & cheese sandwich. It was ok, .over all the food was better than we remembered from the last time we went. Ice tea was $3.00 a cup and they serve it in a Styrofoam cup. I think we might go back again and try something else or get some more wings. The blue cheese was good. Glad they are waiting on tables again.

The special comes with 2 pieces of boneless fried chicken breasts, 2 sides, and your choice of a roll or cornbread. However, if that is too much food and you don't want leftovers, you can ask for a 1 piece special as well, like I did tonight. I paired it with fried squash (with ranch), broccoli casserole, and a roll. The service is always great. They check on you and keep your beverage filled (for me that is a Jumbo unsweet tea). Sadly they are only open weekdays. But go check them out, they have different daily specials each day of the week.
