    Great food. Large salads. Wait staff are excellent and the manager, Crystal is amazing. She is always checking on customers making sure everyone is happy with their food and service. Its not much to look at from the outside but the food is worth the trip.

    fried fish, coleslaw and pickle

    Use to be Colonial. Colonial sure was less stingy. They don't even give out free half gallon teas if you spend at least $30 now.

    Off the beaten path a bit but a nice find. Majority of fried seafood. Very good and big platters. Restaurant was clean and decent service.

    I love their shrimp and their calabash chicken, but I would give their staff 3 stars.

    Stopped on a road trip for an early dinner. First impression wasn't very good. Needed a bathroom…read moreand it wasn't very clean including sticky floors. Having never been I was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices and let my wife order for us while I found a table. The floors were sticky, the table was stick, and some moron was on their phone using speaker phone. My wife ordered two Philly Cheesesteaks making one a 'jumbo' to include onion rings, fries, and a drink. Service was friendly & helpful for us newcomers and the food was delivered quickly by the friendly staff. So as much as I was concerned about sticky floors and all that, the food really was delicious. The cheesesteaks seemed to be more bun than meat, but honestly it was a perfect balance of meat, cheese, grilled onion AND a PERFECTLY crispy AND soft bun. The sandwich truly was magnificent and really well balanced/proportioned. I thought the rings were a bit under cooked, but I was fooled again! Onion was soft, well cooked, and flavorful. Fried were definitely undercooked but I don't generally eat French fries so all good. Cole Slaw was middle of the road. I struggle with a rating but sticky floors, sticky table along with a few environmental things really drag down my overall perception. Friendly/competent staff and an excellent sandwich will hold a steady rating of three. Would I eat there again? It is on of the few unique non-chains in the area and I know what to expect going in. So if I need to stop on the area, I'd more than likely stop again thanks to staff and food!

    They have rave reviews but I wasn't wowed yet. Food was decent and staff were friendly. I'm not…read moresure if we've had the best food they offer yet so I'll have to come back. Best thing we had was the buffalo chicken wrap. I'll update the review once we come back again. I'm gonna pass on the fries and onion rings next time though, they aren't with the extra $3. The restaurant feels like a diner but you order at the counter and bus your own tables. Pete's has so many items on the menu I'm sure we will find our favorites soon!
