My family are foodies and son is a Chef hired by Eric Ripert directly out of the Culinary Institute of America. I have had the good fortune to have two dinners at On Main this trip and each were superb. Hand made ravioli pasta, mushroom and spinach. Also my wife had the flounder prepared to perfection. The menu is diverse and my other dinner partners had multiple offerings from the menu. Every one of us had a wonderful culinary experience on Main street Spindale at Old Main. I am from Forest City NC but have lived all over the country and outside US. One of my special pleasures is food and this week I was delighted to find that a culinary gem is in my native home. Chef Johnathan is a creative chef with talent that would compete in any culinary center in the US or beyond. My friends here and family will go back often, and actually hope we have to wait for a table. Worth the wait.

This store had been pretty picked over from Christmas, but I did find a Dog water/food holder that I had been looking for. This was a great find for only $6.99 made very well. How could I pass that up? Over all the store was well kept and I'd rather shop here than the regular store. Didn't spend too long here as I didn't find anything else I was looking for but I'd shop here again for sure.

We have stoped here one other time before covid I think they are way too over priced for their…read moreregular prices. If You go when they have a sale then the items sell for what they probably would some place else. This time going we were shocked at how bare the shelves were. I mean literally empty and a whole section closed off with no merchandise in there at all. I love kitchen stuff and that's pretty much what they were out of. Really looks like they are going out of business or cutting back alot of merchandise they carried. They have signs up they want you to download their app when you do there is the coupon you can use on certain items. It's not like a place that that rewards you with your purchases. The app is so you know what the sales are and the coupons for certain items ,That's what I seen. Not impressed with the app and it just takes room up on my phone. If I need a coupon I will just down load again sometime. One thing I did fall in love with was at the purfume counter, Chanel Coco it smells so good! *Santa I have been good, that's what I want for Christmas :)

This is based on todays visit to return a bag of cat food bought by mistake…read more When going in the cashier has to call for the manager. She is a rough one. She said no returns what so ever! She said with or without a receipt no returns. Have dealt with this manager before when they had dog food priced and it rang up higher. Excuse was it was marked wrong so we couldn't buy it!!! Never heard that before! We haven't been going as often as we use to because most items are outdated. If you find something in date its almost priced as high as a regular grocery store, and it don't expire long after. I guess they don't have a dedicated customer like we use to be. Even my parents slowed down going since his prices have gone higher and they ran into problems trying to return before too. I will make sure everyone knows about the way they treat their customers!

Sometimes you can find a good deal. I buy dog treats and dog toys cheaper at Ollies. Over all they carry a little everything. I just seen Paula Deen dog food? Looks really good! They just got in a bunch. I couldn't pass on the cute parrot dog toy!! Definetly worth checking out here if your looking for something they may have it and cheaper.

I was so upset we left our buggy full of things and left. it was 30 mins til closing and she acted as if she just didn't want to be bothered. I was very disappointed!! Def wouldn't recommend them, their customer service is terrible!

Just to update since I haven't reviewed in a couple of years. Still no bathroom lol…read more They now raised their $1.00 prices to $1.25. I don't see many changes that come with price increases. Like different merchandise. Not yet anyway. One thing they did stop was buying just one loaf of bread or donuts . Which at the time was crazy because they were out of date or already stale when you ate them. Now you can buy what you want, like English muffins, bagels ,bread or donuts etc. You also pay for your bags if you need some.I think its .05 cents a bag, I did forget to look on my receipt. If your looking for something you need its worth checking here first. You never know what you will find, even for your pets. Its still one of the stores I like checking out when I have time.

A "hit n miss" for specific needs; overall a definite go to first when looking for an unusual…read morespecific need. Of course, you can usually find much of what you use on a daily basis at Mighty Dollar other than food. The Mighty Dollar in Forest City has accommodating employees, though they could use a few more during the busy hours. Overall the store appears to be organized and clean. A good find especially for those on a tight budget. Corporate should take the time to visit this particular Mighty Dollar Store, let their employees realize they are appreciated ~ bring along with them a sealed envelope with a gratuity of appreciation enclosed. That would go a LONG WAY towards employee morale.

This quaint old fashioned fountain restaurant takes you back in time…read more It is truly inside a drug store. On a Saturday morning it is busy, but the wait line for a table moves quickly. Thankful to locals that explained how it works. If you are a first time visitor make sure you keep your eyes open for people leaving from the back, there are several booths located where you won't see if they are empty, so walk back and check, it is self serve seating, no hostess. If you want to sit at the bar you don't have to wait on line. The area where the booths are located gas a mural that goes along all the walls even into the restroom area...really cool. Coffee is hot and fresh served in cups that reminded me of the blue speckled tin camping mugs we used when we camped, but hard plastic. FYI coffee is .45 during breakfast hours, yes that is right .45 not a typo. My omelet and hash browns were great, lots of veggies and sausage and the hash browns were extra crispy like I asked. You have to check this place out of you are in Forest City.

Small town liquor store. They welcome you when you walk in…read more I was surprised to see they dont carry wine or beer as most liquor stores do. The guy behind the counter said the grocery stores have the wine and beer. Some grocery stores have A great selection, so I guess it isn't worth them carrying it too. So I opted Into the pre mixed foo foo drinks Pina colada , and mudslides. There is a special you buy 2 and get $7.00 back. Considering they are just under $10 that's a good deal. The employee said it can take up to 6-8weeks to get the refund if you even do. That's nice, I hope I get it back. Guess I will try and update if I get it!! These bottles also has a small free bottle attached to sample. They were banana and peach and 99 proof it says on the bottle. Great for a shot? I tried the mudslide so far and it was pretty good. I'd rather buy premixed that way you don't have to worry about having the ingredients when you want.drink. While walking around I seen some good specials, I will go back for sure, nice neat store.
