My fellow veteran buddy and I stopped by the IHOP on Hwy 74 in Rockingham around 1:30 PM to discuss some upcoming events. We had a really bad experience here in the past, but one of the servers, Bayleigh, was the sole reason we decided to give it another shot. Coincidentally, Bayleigh ended up being our server again today. Even though the restaurant was short-staffed--a cook actually had to seat us because he was waiting on the next shift--Bayleigh willingly stayed past her shift just to take care of us because she recognized us. Her dedication and customer service were truly 10/10. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't match her effort: The Food Quality: They were out of ingredients for my original sandwich choice, so I went with the bacon, avocado, chicken sandwich on whole grain toast. My buddy ordered the beef Philly. Both came with onion rings, and I got a side of fries. Kitchen Mistakes: My sandwich was initially brought out missing the avocado, but Bayleigh caught it right away and had the kitchen fix it. When it came back, the chicken looked burnt, and the toast was so dry, hard, and over-toasted that it was literally falling apart in my hands--I had to smash the avocado just to bind the sandwich together. Inedible Saltiness: Worst of all, both of our sandwiches were so brutally salty it tasted like the lid fell off the shaker and dumped right onto the food. Neither of us could finish our meals. We ended up just drinking our drinks, paying, and leaving. Bayleigh apologized sincerely for the kitchen's mistakes, and she was easily the best part of the entire visit. Management really needs to address the kitchen staff and food prep, because servers like Bayleigh shouldn't have to carry the burden of a terrible kitchen. The 3 stars are for experience with the food. But Bayleigh gets a 5 stars review

The food took a little longer coming out, but it was an off hour from normal eating times, so they main staff was gone. When the food came it was awesome! The restaurant was clean, inside and out. Music was playing at a level you could still talk and hear your table conversation. I didn't think to take a picture, but the one thing I can say is everything I have ever eaten at any IHOP looks like the picture in the Menu when it is served. Not like most restaurants. It was a very enjoyable trip, can't wait to go back!

Con's: Service - it's clear this location is new and the workers aren't quite knowledgeable about menu items and/or aren't listening to orders properly. Examples: 1. Ordered a smoothie with whey protein. The person checking us out asked us what kind of protein did you say? She was then examining a list as if she still didn't understand what we were saying. Our smoothie was instead made with pea protein. 2. Ordered a Baja Chicken Wrap, which is one of our favorites. It was basically chicken, cheese, lettuce, and salsa. Completely missing the rice, beans, and avocado. 3. Ordered a grilled sandwich and it was burnt on the outside. So, just not prepared properly. 4. Chips received were not what we asked for. 5. Asked for a diet soda, it was not put on the order. I still love TSC, and will go to my regular location back home, but this one just needs proper training.

We were visiting this area, and lamenting the lack of a coffee shop to fuel us for the drive back to Raleigh, when someone pointed use here. I honestly felt like it was going to be more adventure than enjoyment, and after figuring out which door to go in, my mind wasn't changed. It was pretty empty, but great seating and fun country-home decor. The gal running the place was passionate about her coffee. My companion got a drink off the menu, and I watched her grind and fuss over it to get it just right. When it came to my turn, I asked her to make me her favorite. I was not disappointed!

We were on the road and stopped in for lunch to break up the trip home. We love supporting locals (rather than chain restaurants). Found this place on the map and gave it a shot. Atmosphere is casual, in a small town, public parking is conveniently directly across the street. I had the patty melt with fries, my hub had a burger with sweet potato fries. We both drank 1/2 and 1/2 sweet tea's. The food was delicious and freshly made to order. I wish I made note of the waitresses name but she and the 2nd server helping her were both super nice, attentive to the tables. Just an all around diner feel and a great meal. read more

Definitely a 5 for the area it is in... those of us from central NC who make routine trips to our…read morelovely beaches are constantly looking for a different place to stop and have lunch that is around the midpoint of the drive, and not Smithfield's or Chick-Fil-A in Laurinburg. That is legitimately the simple truth of it all. There is not much along the route in general, and really your options for a food stop are limited to what you can find in the Rockingham or Laurinburg area. Getting something that is not fast food, takes a little bit of advanced planning and a significant roll of the dice. Thankfully we have Yelp to guide us. I found this simple lunch spot on the app before leaving Greensboro, and plugging it into our GPS, it simply required us taking one of the "old" routes through Rockingham and Hamlet. These days there is a highway bypass that totally avoids the traffic lights that cause delays in that area. We decided it was worth a 10 minute detour to get something else, and we chose Caleb's. A little hole in and old shopping center near the Wal-Mart. Honestly, wouldn't have it any other way. If a place can focus on the food and do it well, I don't need ambience. We started with some of their collard green egg rolls, and I like this choice for the menu. It's really not difficult to make an egg roll, and that crispy shell is one of life's most simple pleasures. The greens on the inside were tender and tasty, and we both enjoyed the sweet chili sauce dip. For lunch I went with their steak philly on texas toast with home chips. Given the price of the sandwich, I was happy with the size and the flavor, it was just enough to satiate me. The chips were nice and crispy, but both of us agreed they were exceptionally over-salted. The ranch dip helped (as did the remnants of the sweet chili sauce), but otherwise, it would have been too much salt. Price was very affordable, in reach for any local, and somewhat cheap by today's standard for those of us from out of town. Definitely a five star experience for what it is, where it is, and our time there. We'd stop on a future trip!

My buddy and I were riding around town on my recent visit back home and I decided I wanted to eat here since it had been so long. My buddy got excited too because he loves the steak and cheese subs which is essentially a Philly cheesesteak . Off the top, my sandwich was decent but unless I'm misremembering it, the sandwich contents are a lot smaller than they used to be. The meatballs used to be so big that the sandwich was basically an open face with two giant meatballs and a large slab of cheese melted over it. The sandwich today had wall smaller meatballs which were consumed by the bread. The majority of it was bread with hardly any meat and the cheese was melted across the top. Still, it did what it was supposed to do; filled me up. This place does great business and I'm sure they have other good sandwiches but I doubt I'll be back. The meatball sub has always been a favorite of mine but todays meal seem to give credence to the adage that you can't go home again.
