    Cheeseburger fries 1/2 bbq chicken
    Joseph K.

    I will start off by saying the BBQ half chicken was really good. Both the white and red slaw also pretty good. Chopped bbq was decent but nothing i would go out of my way for. The sauce/dip was awesome so that really helped. Burger i had today wasn't great. Soggy bun wilted lettuce and not much flavor all around. Fries seemed like they would be really good if they were fresh but mine were cold and had a strange texture. The seasoning was perfect though so i still ate them ‍ Service was excellent the whole wait staff seemed very genuine and on their game. Prices were reasonable as well and the food came out pretty quick. Would definitely go back but stick with the chicken!

    Breakfast, pancakes, chicken tenders, and hush puppies
    Haley W.

    Omg. Everything about this place was amazing: food, service, atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and on top of everything. The food was 10/10. Breakfast all day? Yes, please! Bonus for having Diet Cheerwine. Is it really a restaurant in NC without Cheerwine? I wish we lived closer to come back.

    Hendrix BBQ is a staple in the area! Would definitely recommend them! Quality food & great service!

    That hot dog
    Sam A.

    We were in Spenser for the train. We saw this place at lunch and it was slammed. We stopped in at 3PM for linner between lunch and dinner. You seat yourself and start looking at the menu - we were hungry so everything looked good. We had a pile of food for $50 plus tip. Food is all on point - banana pudding is yum. Cool decor - clean tables - nice service - quick food after ordering - everything was correct and tasted good. Bbq chicken, wings, fries, hotdogs, coleslaw - that yummy crushed ice in your cheerwine. Wish this place was closer - pics of food included. Everything hit the spot and left us wanting another visit. Pleasant on the pocketbook too. Sweet.

    Funnel cake fries
    Darrell L.

    Who doesn't like funnel cake? These "fries" were great. The bbq was solid, but I didn't care for the slaw. Wait staff was amazing and the prices were really cheap.

    Glorious Sunday brunch offerings!!
    Johnny K.

    What a glorious Sunday brunch!! We arrived at noon and to our delight both breakfast and lunch were available!!! So we were fortunate enough to be able to indulge in a delicious meal of: Country ham and scrambled eggs on a biscuit Sausage, eggs, and cheese, on a biscuit, Grits, Hushpuppies, Pancakes, Chopped bbq sandwich, and a Footlong all the way!! All were perfect!! Highly recommended!! Especially Sundays around noon!! Btw, we utilized the drive thru. Service and staff were exceptional -- fast and friendly!!

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.

It's busy, it's buzzing, and yes... you're absolutely questioning your life choices while waiting. But then those SINFULLY good yeast rolls show up and suddenly all is forgiven. I ordered the 6 oz filet, cooked medium rare, and it was chef's kiss--tender, juicy, and cooked exactly right. Paired with grilled shrimp, which were seasoned well and perfectly cooked, it hit that surf-and-turf sweet spot. The sweet potato was fluffy and comforting (brown sugar and butter doing the Lord's work), and the salad was fresh, crisp, and a surprisingly solid opener. Bottom line: Yes, the wait is long. Yes, it's loud and chaotic. But the food is consistently good, the portions deliver, and once that food hits the table, you remember why people are willing to wait it out. Would I do it again? Absolutely--just with patience, low expectations for quiet conversation, and a serious appetite.

And it seems the servers get pressured from management on this and it negatively shows to families with children who come to this location. And if you ask for an extra plate to share all sorts of negative emotions are displayed from servers. This has happened on multiple occasions. With young kids who do not eat much anyway, not sure why this location wants to pick battles with families with kids. All of this doesn't just flow from the servers, it comes from the management/owner(s) who instead of finding a way to balance margins and customer service, they sacrifice customer service for minimal margin gain by directing their staff and probably reprimanding them for these kinds of situations. We have visited multiple other longhorns over the years and this is the only one that displays a noticeable stinginess and negative attitude with extra plates and kid's meal orders. All other longhorns have provided excellent service when we order the same thing at any other longhorn we go to and have no complaints; the Salisbury location however today decided to seemingly cut one of our kids meal steaks in half and serve one steak as two on separate kids meals. Our server today was sweet and very nice until we ordered, then a noticeable shift took place in the tone and atmosphere, and the staff seemed to try and "get back" at us by providing us with the tiniest steaks possible, literally half the size of a normal kid's steak we have ever received in the years we have been going to Longhorn and getting kids meals. With 3 young kids all over 2 years old present; ordering 2 kids meals and an extra plate with our family of 5 should not be met with this kind of disgruntlement from staff. This kind of stinginess flows from the higher ups at this location and it shows. And of all the days to deliver a passive aggressive retaliation on kids meals to my kids, they chose Father's Day. We will not be returning to this location as it is not family friendly. So now, losing customers and revenue over this pettiness doesn't seem so good for the margins anymore does it?

Hubby had the Texas Trinity which consisted of ribs, sliced brisket and sliced jalapeño cheese sausage link served with the best hush puppies and he decided on sides of collard greens and sweet potato casserole.
