Kids loving their hot fudge Sunday
Jennifer B.

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.

Bacon cheeseburger and onion rings
Wesley F.

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.

Blueberry Lemon Cookie...YUM!

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.

Gunters Family Kitchen is Absolutely !!! Everyone always gives you a warm welcome soon as you walk in. Food is Absolutely delicious I always make a point stopping in whenever I'm passing thru. Most importantly, it's always a pleasure sitting at the counter chatting with all the locals. You be surprised some recognize ya being a regular stopping thru at times.

True indication of the sanitation of those place. Complacency prevails!!

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!

We enjoyed another Groucho's location several months ago and when we saw this one in Statesville…read morewhile looking for a place to stop for lunch, I think the car may have just driven us here to keep us happy, lol! We started with a couple of Dr. Brown's diet cream sodas which were tasty and refreshing. In my effort to eat better, I ordered the Chicken Power Salad with Danish Bleu dressing and without cucumber, while Hubby ordered a Big Dipper sandwich with no pickle. The salad was fresh, crunchy and filling, and Hubby enjoyed his sandwich with chips. Charity did a great job making sure we were taken care of and brought us additional cream sodas. One other thing I like about Groucho's Deli is the opportunity to donate a meal through the partnership they have with GiftAMeal. It's such an easy thing to do to help people in need.

My family stopped here on a road trip and I was pretty disappointed…read more We came right at opening and it was pretty quiet, but it was definitely bustling by the time we left. Our server did a pretty mediocre job, if I'm being real - she took our orders and delivered the food but pretty much didn't check on us for the entire meal, and I ended up having to take my trash to the front counter to get rid of it, since no one was bussing the table. I got the Chicken Power Pita and I was underwhelmed with it. The pita was soggy and cold, and everything inside felt mushy and a bit flavorless. My wife's roast beef sandwich was also extremely lacking, although she did like the bread. Weirdly, she wanted lettuce, tomato, and onion on it, and the server told us that they didn't offer onion. Why does a deli not have sliced onion for its sandwiches? On the positive side, my father-in-law really liked his chili. Because we got there so early, we found parking on the street, but I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find parking if you came during normal lunch hours. Inside the restaurant, it had standard deli vibes. I would definitely not come back here if I was stopping in Statesville for lunch.

LOVE THE REUBEN SANDWICH. Great corned beef ( no fat). Yummy sauce and sauerkraut. Good cheese. I…read morecould eat one everyday. But the other day I decided to get a sub with ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Delicious. Just the right amount of mayo and lots of good Boars Head meats. My grandson ( who did get his Reuben) got the Asisn pasta salad as his side. I got the cucumber salad. Which cucumbers in a vinegar based dressing. I love the fact there are so many sides to choose from. My favorite is the Delicious refreshing broccoli salad. They offer 2-3 pasta salads, egg salad, potato salad. Regular and German potato salad. My cucumber salad. And to complete your Delicious meal they have coconut cake. And the best pineapple cake. YUM YUM. Worth going just to try the cake. They now offer wraps as well as sandwiches. All of the soups are good Especially when you get a grilled cheese with the tomato soup. Home run. I could eat bowls and bowls of the soup. They can make you a salad if that's what you prefer. They offer soda drinks. I livethe Arnold Palmer..half sweet tea half lemonade. They offer canned sodas as well. The staff are always friendly. Good place for a family meal. Or a business meeting. Which is where I do have a business meeting every month there.

My co worker and I decided to give O'Brien's a try. It was pretty busy for 12:45 on a Friday…read more Seating was a bit limited but we got lucky. I ordered the Turkey melt. Generous amount of turkey on toasted wheat bread. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot. The potato salad was not my fave but to each their own.

Great Country Diner…read more Located a bit off of I-77 on Hwy 901 West is Chip's Cafe. A favorite with locals and now one of my favorites. Stopped in because someone had recommeded Chip's because of the great Hush Puppies. Without anymore detail, you think Hush Puppies in the areas and you are talking about either a Seafood Restaurant or a Bar-B-Que joint. Turns out Chip;s is much more than that. The special for the night was Salt and Pepper Catfish so we both decided to give it a try. She ordered it along with rice and grave and another side of fresh slaw. I had potato salad and okra with mine. She had the Hush Puppies and I had Texas Toast. Out of this world. The Catfish was some of the best I have ever had. Large, moist, flaky, flavorful filets that melt in your mouth. Forgo the tartar sauce and just go with lemon and it's great. Potato salad is very good but could use just a hint of more mustard in the dressing. Service is great. Very friendly and helpful and they did a great job. As for atmosphere, what can I say. It's a country diner where everyone is welcolm and everyone feels instantly at home. Highly recommend for local and travelers but be aware, it's a little over a mile off of I-77 westbound but well worth the trip. Will be back

Was looking for somewhere to eat on a long drive and came across this place. The service was…read moreamazing and the prices were extremely good for the amount of food you were getting. The BLT and pie was amazing and i would definitely love to come here again!
