*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.

My first time at Guava Island, a very casusl cool vibe, friendly local hidden gem, tucked away in a…read morenon-descript strip mall not far from City Lake Park in Rocky Mount. They serve good Jamaican food and have a full bar. I found the restaurant on Google when I searched for affordable restaurants nearby. I loved Guava Island. When I walked in on a Thursday around 5:30 p.m., it was very quiet, with 1 person at the bar. Take out and eat in business picked up as dinner time rolled around. I'm glad I decided to eat at the bar because that's where all the action happens! I enjoyed watching the interaction between the warm and friendly co-owner (co-owns with his sister) and the customers. The owner is originally from Jamaica and he's a U. S. Army veteran! Besides the good food, another reason to support this black-owned, veteran business! Dinners with 2 sides range between $12 to $17. Oxtails are $17. I had the $12 spicy jerk chicken with macaroni and cheese and cabbage. The jerk chicken and mac & cheese were delicious. The cabbage needed a lot more flavor. The guava punch was very good, though too sweet for my taste so I added water and it was perfect. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely go back.Check it out.

Whole Truth Lunchroom has a great mission, and the food definitely lived up to the experience…read more Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The fried chicken was crispy and fried hard just the way I like it, with plenty of flavor in every bite. The greens were seasoned perfectly, and the yams were sweet with a great texture--not too hard and not too soft. I visited on a hot summer day, and the restaurant can get pretty loud and a little stuffy when it's busy. Thankfully, they had fans placed throughout the space, which made it much more comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. If you're looking for good soul food and want to support a place with a meaningful mission, Whole Truth Lunchroom is worth a visit. I'd definitely go back.

A ministry of the church next door, Wilson's Whole Truth Lunchroom is a hidden gem. Located a few…read moreblocks from downtown and run by dedicated volunteers, this is an old school cafeteria with the type of food you'd expect from Southern church ladies. Dishes vary from day to day but the fried chicken, baked chicken, and fried pork chops are staples. Plates come with two sides and you can see from the photo why the blackeyed peas are so good (spoiler alert - it's bacon, lots of bacon). Collards are also delicious and the yams are mildly sweet without being cloying. The banana pudding is gloriously warm and the meringue is fluffy. The pudding is a touch too sweet and I could have done with more bananas but it was large enough to share. The staff is genuinely happy to see you and are happy to talk about their work, if you like. The room is a bit bare bones and the bathrooms are rudimentary and cramped but everything works. There is parking directly in front of the restaurant. Thanksgiving take-out is available for pre-order (see photo). I have a strong feeling you won't go wrong with any of the choices.

If you are a steak person and don't mind high prices - you will probably like it. I love steak but…read morethe prices were high and what I really hated was that they left the sour cream on the table. It was warm. Not even cold. And the package says keep refrigerated. You get a potato and it's a limited menu - and I love sour cream but I couldn't eat it - it smelled and looked bad and I have a sensitive stomach for that sort of thing. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The salad bar was great. The server never even asked how my meal was. I didn't even have a chance to ask for cold sour cream. The filet pictured was the 4oz filet for $35.

While driving through Rocky Mount, North Carolina, I was in the mood for some barbecue…read more We chose the carryout option, though they also have a full sit-down restaurant. Parking was plentiful, with dedicated carryout parking, regular restaurant parking, and accessible spaces. The restaurant has that classic, small-town Southern Sunday dinner vibe. The carryout area is exactly what you'd expect,small and designed strictly for takeout. The cashier is friendly, and the service is pretty fast. You can order at the counter, and the menu offers plenty of mix-and-match combinations. The fried okra was crispy and delicious. The pulled pork had a nice tangy barbecue flavor. The seafood platter was surprisingly good. I would skip the candied yams next time. Everything else was decent but nothing that really stood out. One thing to note: I was hoping for ribs after seeing them advertised, but they weren't available through the carryout menu. Carryout focuses more on pulled pork and pulled turkey, while some menu items are reserved for the dine-in restaurant. If you're passing through Rocky Mount and want a quick Southern comfort food stop, I'd definitely recommend the carryout. It's convenient, the portions are good, and the barbecue hits the spot. As for dining in, I don't think I'd make a special trip .It feels more like a great roadside takeout stop than a destination restaurant.

That red paste tasted like what I would imagine a pile of dirty pocket change would. There was nothing positive and nobody was able to eat their food. We were driving and it wasn't worth going back. This is my first 1 star and it would be zero if that was an option.
