Seated quickly and our waitress was lively, friendly, and constantly checked in on us.

Note that it's cash only, there's no seating and the menu options are limited (just burgers and dogs, no pickles/lettuce/tomato), but the quality and prices more than make up for it (plus, they know what they do well and they stick to it... nothing wrong with that in my book!). We got two cheeseburgers and walked up the block to have them at Bell Tower Green -- perfect place to enjoy a flawless, thick and juicy burger!!!

I figured this had to be a good sign. There service area inside it very tiny and there is no seated dining area. There is a small counter area where you can stand and eat your food. And it was! I ordered the cheese dog with no onions. It was delicious, reminiscent of the homemade hotdogs that my grandmother use to make in the countryside of Louisiana. It's important to note that this is a cash only business. Cashier was very friendly and welcoming to customers.

My parents were with us and got pulled pork & pulled chicken. I stole a hush puppy from my mom and it was delicious! Their sides were spectacular--broccoli salad, corn, and macaroni. My husband got a brisket sandwich with macaroni. His brisket was fantastic! You could see the smoke ring and it tasted smoky, it was tender, flavorful. My daughter got chicken tenders with macaroni--typical for her but she definitely enjoyed it. I got a pulled pork sandwich with white slaw, fried okra, and sweet potatoes. My dad took a few and said they were so perfectly cooked that it was like throwing down some popcorn. The sweet potatoes made me think of Thanksgiving! If you're near Salisbury, you will definitely need to stop by.

The server was attentive and so so nice, she made me feel right at home and gave great suggestions about sides and meats. The bbq was amazing! I tried the pulled pork and the sausage and I tried several of their bbq sauces available on the table. There wasnt a single one I didnt like. I went on a wednesday and you get an extra free side so I took advantage and got slaw, Mac n cheese, and the fried okra. It came with pickles and pickled onions and your choice of hushpuppies or cornbread. To be honest the only underwhelming thing were the hushpuppies. They were basically cookout hushpuppies, not homemade or original, however the okra blew me away it was so freaking delicious! I don't know how often I will take a special trip out there but if I want bbq I know where to go.

Driving thru North Carolina on my way to Raleigh, my friend and I stopped off and spent the night…read morein Salisbury. Grabbed dinner at Recipe. Not very busy but cozy and excellent service. Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.
