Super friendly service and a warm inviting atmosphere with table linens and seating that is nicely spaced to afford you more intimacy than most places. We shared a couple of the starters: Philly egg rolls and the spinach dip with fresh made pita chips. Both were excellent. We also had the chicken wrap, shrimp wrap, Cobb salad, and the chicken salad. All of the entrees were great. My favorite had to be the fresh cut and fried potato slices- whatever you order, don't miss those! It's a banquet hall and catering business but it does a very brisk brunch business and there were three groups there who were celebrating special occasions, so it can accommodate groups of various sizes pretty easily.

A smaller footprint - the gathering but a cozy space -about 60 people & space was tight but comfortable. The place is clean with very strict food handling a preparation. The food was fresh - serving Fried & Baked Chicken fried fish rice & gravy string beans candied yams slaw -plus honey bun cake tea punch & water. During regular operating hours- ribs neck bones collards beans etc available almost every day. The location is about 8 miles from I85 exit Dabney drive exit -Henderson NC - also close to the Raleigh NC road. This is a small owner business- not frilly or fancy but good old fashioned favorites!!!

Note: they are closed on Friday and Saturday and close at 2:00. The buffet was smaller than I expected but all of the choices were great. Wish they had mashed potatoes instead of rice but I just skipped it. I loaded up on the field peas and the broccoli and cheese was great. I had to try a hush puppy and it was delicious. The corn , green beans , potato salad and limas were good too. Two of us enjoyed the chicken and one of us loved the fried pork chop. I tried the steak and gravy and it was good too. We didn't try the chicken and dumplings but they looked good . They had sweet potatoes but they looked canned so we didn't try any. We tried the ice cream cake, the blueberry pie and the banana pudding. The banana pudding won the first place prize from two of us and the second place went to the ice cream cake. They had several other layer cakes but all of us were just too full to try them. Oh, their tea is amazing and your glass will never be empty here. Super cute place, clean and excellent service.

We went here on friday...we sat down and waited 20 minutes to out on a drink order. So we decided…read moreto just out our whole order in, because they only had one waitress and she was super busy. We finally got our drinks and waited for our appetizer which was the blue crab dip. Kept waiting...the waitress was running from table to table, to answer the phone and ended up asking us what we ordered, again...so we told her. A whole hour goes by and we finally got our food and it was cold...the hamburger steak was extremely hard and dry. So I reminded her that we had ordered the blue crab dip a that our food was cold and the waitress said "I apologize because it is cooked as soon as we place the order" So she insisted on giving us our meals for free. We paxk our boxes and she said "I'll take everything off except the crab dip". Ok, cool. We stood waiting to pay and still waiting for the crab dip. It took so long to bring it she said it was free as well. I didn't feel right taking all that food and not giving them something so I handed her a 20 dollar bill. We get into the car to drive back home and open up the box to taste the crab dip and we see corn. I've never had crab dip with corn in it. Then we taste it and low and behold it NOT crab dip, bit spinach and artichoke dip instead. It was awful...the entire meal was awful when we warmed it up at home as well. We had an awful experience.

After walking through several homes in Hope Springs area we were really hungry. The drive time from…read moreRaleigh and walking around properties going up and down stairs we worked up an appetite. While driving home my wife found an Italian restaurant in Bailey, NC. A short little detour and we found this incredible restaurant. There were two disabled parking spots right by the front door and across the street at a church. We were greeted as we entered and promptly seated in the main area at a corner table. As we entered the dining area there was a young gentleman playing a piano and singing some great songs. Our server, Luigi, arrived and introduced himself. After receiving our water and bread with olive oil and vinaigrette he provided the specials for the day. When he was finished he said there was no need to look at the menu because the specials are delicious. After a few minutes he returned and we went with the specials. Wife chose the shrimp pasta with vodka sauce. I chose the 18oz (estimated) steak and vegetables. Wife also had a glass of red wine that she said was great. When our meals arrived, we were pleased with the presentation. Wife really enjoyed her pasta and wine. The steak was pure excellence and bliss. The first bite had me hooked. It perfectly cooked at medium rare. The flavor and tenderness were perfect. I ate the whole steak and vegetables slowly so I could savor it. The vegetables were very flavorful. At one point I told my wife that I was so happy and I could probably cry. Lol. The atmosphere, the music, the weather, the meal, and my beautiful wife made this a memorable moment. As we finished our meal, we had a conversation with Luigi. He said that he would show us the garden area. He also said to follow them on facebook so we can see the events they host. This weekend was going to be a live band in the garden with the large bar open and you can order pizza as well as from the menu. Once we settled and provided a tip to the talented musician, Luigi took us to the garden area. What an incredible place. We never expected to find anything like this in the small town of Bailey. This was an unexpected and incredible experience. We highly recommend dining here. We will definitely return here.
