Augustus Grill has blossomed into a first-rate restaurant that offers a wide variety of menu…read moreoptions at very reasonable prices. The indoor seating is limited - but comfortable. The spacious Deck is one of the best dining venues within miles. It's peaceful, scenic, bucolic and relaxing. Service is friendly and the dishes we have tried were well-prepared, innovative and delicious. The Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce ($21 with two sides) was as good as any I have had. The thick loin was pleasantly crunchy with a quick burst of tangy flavor. The inside was juicy, flaky and tender. The Roasted Mixed Vegetables were slightly undercooked, allowing the flavors of the Carrots, Cauliflower and Broccoli to stand out. The Potato Salad was OK, but I would have preferred something more zippy and zesty. The Chicken Salad Sandwich ($8.49 with one side) was smooth and creamy. The Toasted Multigrain Bread and Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing transformed this basic stand-by into something special. The Pasta Salad was a real winner. Unlike most bland pasta salads I have had, this one was nicely seasoned and brimming with flavor. We finished the evening with a generous slice of Cheesecake ($6) with a sweet but tangy Raspberry Jalapeño Sauce. Lunch with a grandson on the deck was a lot of fun for everybody. He had the Kids Meal ($6) which included a Hot Dog (he wanted it plain, of course), Bottle of Gatorade and Chips. We enjoyed the Pastrami Burger ($16.49 - with thin-sliced seared Pastrami, Cheddar Cheese, sliced Onion and Thousand Island Dressing) and the Hawaiian Burger ($14.49 - with grilled Pineapple, BBQ Sauce and Cheddar Cheese). The 1/3 pound burgers were served on a fresh Brioche Bun and included One Side. We can recommend either burger, but the one with Pastrami, was truly outstanding.

The food is really good, but the customer service is lacking. Most of the servers do not know how…read moreto interact with customers. I typically look over it because the food is that good. The reason for 3 stars - I placed an order through Door Dash. Two hotdogs and fries. Best N Burger only sent one hot dog. I called the restaurant to ask them to get it resolved and one of the employees said that is Door Dashes problem. The employee on the phone laughed and placed me on hold without saying another word. The employee eventually came back and said to call door dash and didn't say another word. Door Dash didn't cook my food, and Door Dash didn't fill the order. I fail to see how Door Dash is responsible for an incomplete order.

The food this trip was fantastic along with the service. We started with the scallop appetizer and the fried mushrooms. The scallops were seared to perfection. The sweet potato puree they were served on, oh yeah! The fried mushrooms were really good to. My wife ordered the Blackened Mahi Mahi and I ordered the Hot Honey Pork Chop. BOTH were outstanding dishes. The pork chop was tender and juicy and full of flavor. The fish was was like the scollops, cooked perfectly. Thank you for a great meal!

It was love at first bite for me!! Bruno's Burger Bar came to my church on yesterday and boy am I…read moreglad. I almost missed out on the deliciousness because they were just about to leave. While I waited on my order, I talked to the owner who is very friendly and easy to talk to, you don't always get that from owners unfortunately. They have their shirts hanging on display, and one of them says "It's the buns for me", and boy oh boy is that the truth. The bun can make or break an burger and Bruno's buns are perfect. Literally I don't want my burger to end. Oh, and the fries!!! The fries were perfect, not shoe string, not waffle or wedge, but in between and seasoned to perfection. I can't wait to see where they will be next!!

Heaven in Zebulon!…read more This is the Burger Food Truck I've been waiting by for!!! Had a chance to visit this new truck in Zebulon and was pleasantly surprised. You could smell the grill going when you walk up and it really makes it real for you that you are about to experience some good eatin! I ordered the "Southern Thang" burger. Which is their version of Carolina Style or Chili And slaw burger! They nailed it!!! Everything tasted so fresh, the bun was perfectly toasted and even had a PAW PRINT stamped on top! Their logo has dog ears so I guess the paw-print is part of their marketing. Either way it's cute! I also orders the beer battered steak fried which were hot and crispy! This was a huge plus. Too many food trucks have those basic restaurants straight cut fries that you pick up from bargain stores but this place definitely decided to stand out! The price was on par with other major burger eateries, maybe even cheaper considering you get a lot of food for the price. All in all this place surprised me by delivering restaurant quality food, fresh and hot, with excellent service. I will definitely be back!

We stopped by Barley Burger on a weekday…read moreafternoon for lunch while traveling through Rocky Mount.. we tend to stop in Rocky Mount frequently when driving I-95 up the East Coast. This restaurant is in a strip shopping center and in the area of local hotels. We were seated near the bar which was a nice booth with raised barriers between tables which made conversation easy. Our server Kaydi quickly came over to offer drinks, an energetic tone, a positive smile, and the refreshing Southern "yes ma'am/sir." I got the Blues Brothers Burger with sweet potato fries, a very tasty lunch, and filling. We were offered to-go drinks, a cordial touch. Pricing averaged about $25 per person, a very reasonable price for the value delivered. Overall, we will certainly be back the next time we're driving along the east coast. I hope we're lucky enough to meet Kaydi again, as she's an asset to this establishment.

I was 2 bites in and I nearly shed a tear thinking about my sweet time with that burger coming to an end. Don't skip on the fries either, they were hot, crispy and seasoned great. Need to check out the cheese fries next time. The large fry was overflowing the cup and spilled thru the bag (awesome). Do yourself a favor and check this spot out. Don't forget to grab an Orangeade to wash it all down.

A Classic Done Right at Zack's Char-grill. Sometimes the…read morebest meals are the simplest ones, and Zack's Chargrill in Smithfield proves this perfectly. My wife and I stopped in for what we thought would be a quick bite, but ended up with something much more satisfying. The menu isn't fancy - just good, honest burgers and fries - but the execution is spot-on. My wife ordered a double cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato, while I went full Carolina style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. Both burgers were cooked exactly right, with that perfect char-grilled flavor you can only get from doing things the traditional way. What really struck me was how this meal brought back memories of old-school burger joints where quality ingredients and proper technique mattered more than gimmicks. The fries were crispy and hot, the perfect complement to these substantial burgers. If you find yourself in Smithfield and craving a burger that tastes like it should, you really can't go wrong with Zack's Char-grill. It's old-time goodness served fresh, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Sorry about the photos. Phone screen went blank and couldn't see what I was aiming at. :-)
