This Mount Airy restaurant excels in food and service. The ambiance is a bit gritty for my taste,…read morebut tons of customers tolerate a dated interior to have great food and service. I shall return each time I go past Mount Airy. It's that good.

I had high hopes. The food and reviews looked good…read more We arrived and there was a full parking lot, always a good sign. We were sat quickly. The server was super nice. It was very cold where we were sitting and the server allowed us to move to a warmer spot. We ordered a fried mushroom appetizer. This was very good. They came with ranch and I think it was the horseradish sauce. The orangish sauce was very good. I ordered 1/2 rack of dry ribs with mac & cheese and green beans, and 2 hushpuppies. You get a choice of Texas toast, hushpuppies, or rolls. My coworker ordered salmon. When the food came out, my ribs were wet. I told the server that I had ordered dry rub. He stated they were dry but had sauce on them. I'm sorry, that is not a "dry rib", in my opinion. The first piece of rib meat I ate was soft and juicy. The next two were super dry and I could not eat any more of them. My coworker joked that that was probably what they were referring to when they said "dry rub". The green beans were ok. I added a ton of pepper and some hot sauce. I saved the mac & cheese for lunch the next day. The hushpuppies were dense and needed a little more flavor. My coworker commented that her salmon was ok but nothing to write home about. I should have went with my first instinct and ordered from the kids menu. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is nice.

There is a lot of bashing Waffle Houses, and maybe some is justified. But, this Mount Airy 'House…read morewas pretty good in my book. We were treated as soon as we walked in, and everything looked clean throughout the resturant. The waitress was prompt and polite taking our drink orders. Our order can out quickly and was cooked just how we liked it. All in all it was a pleasant experience and I would definitely return. Granted we went in the morning around 9am, and didn't see the freak-show around midnight.

A friend and I came into this Waffle House for lunch. Apparently he has been here plenty, because…read morethey knew him. It was fairly sparse for a Friday lunch, and the place was clean. We were served by Autumn, who was really friendly and always there for us. I ordered an omelet with biscuit and gravy for a side. The omelet itself was good. The eggs were more fluffy than I usually have, not sure why, maybe just more whipped. I could be wrong, but the cheese seemed like the plasticky cheese product that come in the individual wrappers. That being said, it was good. I ordered the biscuit and gravy because I had never had either at a Waffle House. The biscuit was interesting, not southern style at all, very machine made in size and texture. Not bad, but not as good as I had hoped. The gravy was actually pretty good. Most places use a mix, and this may have been a mix, but it contained salt and tasted like greasy gravy... Not the best I've had, but decent. Having been to many Waffle House locations, I will be happy to come back to this one.

This a great little hidden gem. Been several times and it's always been outstanding. First off,…read morethe staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions or strange requests. The food is outstanding. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly. Tlaquepaque is our go to Mexican restaurant in Mount Airy..

I've been to other locations of Tlaquepaque and was generally pleased with the food and service…read more This was my first time at the Mount Airy location. It is in a very convenient spot. The staff at this location are great. They were very on top of service and payment. On to the food. Most Mexican food around is heavily Americanized. That's too bad, because it loses what makes it good to begin with. The chips are fine. The salsa is not even remotely spicy and there are no offers of better salsa. We ordered cheese dip which is fine, but not amazing. The entire family was with us and two of them are children, so as usual there were tenders and fries. I tasted the tenders and fries. The tenders were alright, nothing special, middle of the road at best. The fries were pretty good and had the right texture and salt while not being over or under cooked. There was also a plain cheeseburger which looked like it was done right. I had tacos al pastor which came with rice and beans. The three tacos were very good and came with a nice hot sauce along with lime, onion and cilantro. Great tacos. The rice and beans were bland and not really worth eating. My wife had a chicken "burrito California", which was basically chunks of chicken in a large tortilla covered with cheese. There was a Mexican salad on the plate and some sliced avocado as well. I don't know if the intention was to allow the customer to put the veggies into the burrito, but with the way it was plated and the cheese bath I don't think that would work. It was definitely not a burrito one would pick up and eat. My wife wasn't thrilled with it. Dessert at restaurants is a rare occasion for us, but we had worked all day and had no lunch, so we opted for that. I bought a flan and a "fried ice cream" for us to share. Neither of the kids would touch either one, which was unexpected for me. There was nothing on the dessert menu that was more kid-friendly than fried ice cream. Oh well. The flan wasn't the best I've had, but it's a basic dessert and I liked it. The fried ice cream is basically a frozen ball of ice cream rolled in cornflakes. They drop that into a fried soft tortilla bowl and cover it with whipped cream, chocolate and strawberry sauce. I have to say that it wasn't great. The cornflakes were a weird texture, maybe stale, but definitely not crunchy as advertised. My wife summed up the dinner. "I'll look for a different place next time."
