    John Brown's is exactly what you'd picture when thinking of an old country store. It has all of the small town, country feels. They sell local goods, from meats and veggies, honeys, jams, jellies, candies, cheeses, chicken pies, slaw, chicken salad and potato. John Brown's also offers sandwiches, burgers, wings and pizza. They also have a daily specials hot bar where you can grab a plate to go, a meat and two veggies. My husband loves the meatloaf. And they have great salads! I wish their veggies were vegetarian friendly, but this is the south and pork or fatback in greens, green beans & cabbage are pretty much a staple. The chicken stew in the colder months is on point! The staff is friendly and there's many regulars, it seems they know everyone who walks through the door. I like that you can see them preparing your food and of course I look for the grade- 98.5!! Love coming here when I don't feel like cooking. No inside tables, just order and go.

    Not a $6.00 salad at all doesn't even fill up the box. Only way to get a decent salad is to order one with meat. Actually asked for a really big salad when making the call in order.

The hardest part was choosing a drink from the aptly named, southern inspired menu. Should I have the Hell in a Handbasket, Mama's Switch, or a That'll do Pig? You can't go wrong. Sized were much larger than expected and priced far below similar type restaurants we have patronized in larger towns. For dinner, I had the filet, medium rare, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. That shouldn't make a restaurant stand out, but based on recent experiences, it was a delight. Dessert was a hot bread pudding accompanied by vanilla ice cream. Superb. Stop by this gem of a place if you are in the area. Lots of cute shops nearby, too.

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.

The tea is the worst I've ever had, tastes like they were making lemonade and added a single tea leaf to it during steeping. Fries are obviously frozen from Sam's or Costco.

This place hadn't gotten a lot of reviews but it was worth the five stars I'm giving it. The place had lots of parking and we could see when we walked up it was crowded, then we heard the live Blue Grass music playing which made my wife very happy. We came in and were greeted and told to order from the counter and they would bring out the food. I ordered the Reuben which if on the menu is how I judge the food overall. This Rueben was the second best I have gotten in NC and close to first. Perfectly made as traditional styled Rueben it went well with the local beer I ordered there. The music was a good touch and pretty good, we were told they have music regularly and also trivia and bingo. I recommended it for the food, service and entertainment.

I will say that it hasn't been consistent for us, though, as far as the quality of food and service. I've never had a bad meal necessarily, but some visits are better than others. The staff is always super nice! One Sunday afternoon we came in about 2:30/3, and there were maybe 4 other diners there. We didn't receive our food for about 45 minutes and it was nothing overly complicated so that was odd. Just things like that I've noticed. However, when it's good, it's real good! I live about 20 minutes away and it comes up as a viable option quite often. Their bourbon selection is extensive and they have good specials. I also love the bar and patio areas. The decor is beachy and fun. Check it out!
