Stopped for lunch today. First time here. Small inside, a few tables and booths and a lunch counter. Standard "greasy spoon" interior. Friendly staff. We ordered a foot long hot dog with fries and a flounder sandwich with onion rings along with fried pickles and two teas. Service was relatively quick. Food came out and it was pretty good. Got as C say- have never had a BRIGHT red hot dog, but aside from that it was good. Fish sandwich was good- whole filet on a bun. Onion rings and fries were good. Fried pickle were good, albeit a little tough. Total for lunch for two- $22.00 + tip. Very reasonable. Overall- a pleasant experience and a fun place. We will certainly consider it again next time we c are in the area. read more

Great breakfast, great service, polite staff, typical diner setting, friendly people at the place also.

Should probably take food orders in the order your tables come in. With 4 waitresses there's no excuse we had to wait 20 minutes with 3 tables coming in after us getting service & we didn't. Seems like the employees were too busy watching children who were in the kitchen & gossiping. read more

Was traveling through the area. Good atmosphere as you would expect from a small town diner. The food was good, service was excellent. They were serving all dishes in to go containers that day with plastic ware, so that was a bit inconvenient and resulted in what I would consider small portion sizes for the prices shown in the menu. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

We were traveling from Florida back home and found this restaurant. This is everything and more that southern cooking and hospitality should be. This is a community oriented restaurant where you see locals not only dining, but also exchanging kindness and conversation. Our family was warmly welcomed and we split up between 2 booths so we could fit our party of 6. Kids loved having their own table! I cannot express enough how warm the atmosphere was. So many smiles and "hellos"...we had a conversation with the nicest couple at the booth next to is as well. My southern roots could not get enough! I ordered fried flounder and got collards and mashed potatoes with it. It was perfect down to the last bite! My son had bbq with slaw and beans - he said he had never had better bbq. Clean plate club! My husband had bacon cheese fries to start with and they were crinkle cut, fried crispy, and covered with real cheddar and crispy bacon. With ranch as a dipper, they were perfect! His main was chicken pie- open faced with the a generous amount of white meat, chopped chicken. The chicken was served the pot pie sauce / gravy with bits of crust throughout. It was so tasty! No veggies inside, which was new for us, but not a negative. He had Mac and cheese with his and it was gooey and perfect! Kids had hot dog and grilled cheese and ate every bite. My other child had fried chicken and kept saying, "mom...this is the best chicken! You should try it! I wish we lived here so we could come every day!". He asked if I would go o line and give Gunther's a 5 star review to share just how great it was! So, here I am! The kids had hot fudge cake too - it was huge! I recommend sharing unless you're still just super hungry after you have a meal there. The sweet tea was like my granny made and I wish I had a gallon to take back home. We will be back again and look forward to it. From the kindness to the food, everything was perfect. In a day and age where we are feeling disconnected and tethered to social media, worried about where we are going as a country, and generally stressed, Gunther's is where you can sit and enjoy and just be present. Share a meal, a conversation with family or a stranger, and take in a beautiful and more gentle pace. read more

This is a popular local place and has solid food. I would rate the burgers three stars, but onion rings and fried okra were four stars. Lots of trucks and lots of locals. They have a pretty extensive specials menu, including barbecue pork, barbecue, chicken, pork, chops, lasagna, chicken livers, shrimp, and catfish. Also extensive sides: mashed potatoes, sweet, potato, casual, potato salad, broccoli, casserole, slaw, collard greens, cucumber, salad, Black Eyed Peas, beets, squash, fried, rice, peaches, and cottage cheese. Whew! If you're in the area and need a meal, it's a good place to stop. read more

Love this locals diner spot! We eat here each time we are here camping at Linney's Mill. Home cooked choices like veggies that aren't all fried. Friendly service. The 8 oz burgers are good. I get the one with pimento cheese and bacon. read more

We were traveling on I-77 headed home from PA. The reviews said the locals loved the place so we decided to give it a shot. This restaurant is now pinned on my maps and a reminder set up to the location to notify us so we can plan on stopping at this spot every time we travel I-77. Home-cooking at its BEST! I'm not talking about some tourist trap or dirty truck stop that doesn't care if you come back. REAL DEAL - HOME MADE Country cooking. I had the special - chicken pie. OMG - warmed my soul and made my tummy smile! My hubby had a cheeseburger with hush puppies and a side of these things they called "munchies". Jalapeño stuffed with cheese, breaded & fried - also very good. I tried one, but I couldn't get enough of my sides - fried okra & apple cobbler.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so good. read more

Pretty good country cooking in a time-worn but obviously locally beloved restaurant. Their fried chicken was excellent as was the fried yellow squash which tasted fresh from the garden but the cucumber and onion salad was pretty sad and more onions by far than cucumbers. Still a solid choice for inexpensive country fare and very close off the interstate as well. read more

Gunter’s Family Kitchen - a plate of food - Diners Near Me - Harmony, North Carolina

We stopped by on our way home from Florida ..Service was great!! Food was delicious.. A hidden gem!!

This place is just damn filthy. Long haired women working the kitchen with no hair nets. Nothing homemade it appears, food is from Sysco I guess. Dump it from the prepackaged plastic bag, heat and serve. And they don't even keep the dang door clean!!! If the door looks like that, i can't imagine what the kitchen looks like! Just gross! I'm glad I went, cause I ain't going back! read more

Gunter’s Family Kitchen - True indication of the sanitation of those place. Complacency prevails!! - Diners Near Me - Harmony, North Carolina

They have a lot to choose from and it is considered 'home style cooking' but everything comes in frozen or comes from a can. Nothing is freshly made (except breakfast). And I think it's pricey for the quality of food you get. Also, watch out when you go to the register to pay. Lately, I've noticed they'll add a tip (even on take-out!) and won't even say a word! Just pass up this exit if you're looking for good food and friendly service. Unless it's btwn the hours of 3am-6am...then head to the Exxon Truck Stop and try their sausage and gravy biscuits! Yum, Yum! read more

Loved this place. Great food, staff was amazing and large portions. Locals hang out here for a reason, go find out why. read more
