Yikes! This Zaxby's was a disaster. I lived in Birmingham, AL for a year in 2010, remember going to Zaxby's a couple of times. I wasn't overly impressed but it was pretty good, so it was a possible option for me. We wanted to get a quick lunch, and Roanoke Rapids seemed convenient, but it ended up not being ideal. We were originally going to go to some other place, but realized it was full service and didn't want to waste a lot of time. We wasted like 20 minutes looking around figuring out something, we were desperate and pulled into Zaxby's. This is supposed to be fast food, but I think we ended up waiting a good 30 minutes for our food. We were pissed. Food was pretty good but nothing to write home about either (Bojangles is way better and seeing they are in Roanoke Rapids; we should've gone there! Or most anywhere else). My friend said he would've just gone with McDonald's or whatever he knew, which I adamantly disagreed saying McDonald's is weak, but did acknowledge we wasted too much time with lunch. And I wanted to go to a place we couldn't get in our area. Cook Out would've been quick, but I didn't discover them until 2024 in southwestern VA. Even Diary Queen would've been quick and right by here. I really screwed up with this choice. No way of knowing for sure. Also, parking was a nightmare and traffic getting out of the parking lot to get back onto 95.

Service is okay. They were out of ice and buns. The drinks were warm af. Food was mediocre. Roach…read morepresence is strong ^ my original post.... After reading the other reviews.... WTF??? Do you guys just like Not have any inventory ever? lol why even be open.

I placed an online order with Popeyes at 11:56 AM for pickup at 12:15 PM. When I arrived exactly at…read more12:15, my order hadn't even been started. I ended up waiting until 12:50 PM for it to be ready. On top of that, the women at the counter were extremely rude and unprofessional. They also forgot my pies, and when I pointed it out, they made me wait an additional 20 minutes--even though the pies were clearly sitting right there. Completely unacceptable. This location needs serious improvement in both customer service and order management. I won't be returning.

It is all inclusive so you can order pizza, drinks, and desserts for an office and you only have to show up. Great for a busy gal! The Roanoke Rapids Papa John's have come through for me each and every lunch I have had lately in the area and what is nice and unfortunately unexpected is that they are on time, often early! This is so great! I had an issue with an order yesterday and called the store, assuming they would just credit me next time or apologize but no, they actually returned to the office with 2 new pizzas for me to add to the order that I already had. Drivers are super friendly (also rare from other Papa John's I've used) and the store manager is always friendly when I call to confirm the orders and I do this often because I have reoccuring nightmares that I will be waiting for 15 pizzas with a doctor's office and nothing shows so the Roanoke Rapids Papa John's accomodates that paranoia and I appreciate them.

Fast food places are never rated on taste or quality of the food in my eyes. A franchise like KFC…read morebrings basic expectations of food that people predict will be there. This KFC has the food we expected it to have. That's not the reason for the one star rating here. The service at this place was disappointing for two main reasons. First, an employee argued with me about sauce cups. I spent $35 on food, including two orders of popcorn chicken and a large side of fries, and he didn't want to give me more than three cups of sauce. This may sound petty to you. But. The guy then argued at me that I got ketchup and hot sauce, and I told him I didn't ask for those things. He said that fries come with ketchup. Rather than cause a scene, I just had to walk away, because he was refusing to give me one more BBQ cup. Second, my friend who ordered ahead of me had to sit around and wait for more than 15 minutes for food (I got mine before he did), because they kept getting orders and would work on the most recent orders first. His order eventually got bumped off their order monitor, and so they just forgot about it. I hate leaving reviews like this, but when nonsense compounds on more nonsense, it compels me to say something. I made sure to return the unused ketchup and hot sauce packets before we left, since they're apparently operating on a razor thin budget.

We picked up dinner here on our way home. When we went in the place had only a few drifters talking…read morein a booth asking each other how much money they had. There were a few people on staff but, we had to wait while they took care of all the drive through orders. This was kinda annoying because you are just standing up and waiting while everyone else comes and gets their food before you. When we finally got to order we ordered a few chicken sandwiches. The food did come out hot but, the whole visit took more than a hour. Fast food isn't fast when you have to wait an hour to get food in an empty restaurant.

1 Star - Serious Health Concern…read more While visiting Ruby Tuesday in Roanoke Rapids, my family and I witnessed a German cockroach crawling on the salad bar, which was supposed to be fresh and ready for guests. I immediately notified management. The only response I received was, "Oh my goodness." There was no attempt to remove food, clean the area, or address the issue in any way. Because of this, we chose to leave and not eat our food. A roach is disturbing on its own, but a German cockroach is commonly associated with infestations, which raises serious concerns about cleanliness and food safety. I have photo and video evidence of what we saw. Additionally, the restaurant appeared severely understaffed. We waited over 20 minutes just to be acknowledged and seated. This experience was unacceptable and concerning from a public health standpoint. I do not recommend eating at this location and will not be returning.

First off, this spot is cozy and rustic, from the antique wooden bar to the brick walls and Turkish lights and carpets. We were immediately greeted and while our host started to escort us to a table, we asked if we could sit at the bar. Of course, was her reply. We took our seats and Melissa came out to give us menus and take our drink order. We went in thinking of sharing a small pizza so I was looking for a glass of red wine to accompany it. I asked Melissa for a glass of Cabernet, but they didn't have any. She told me what they did have and I asked for a small taste of the blend which she happily provided. It was good, so I decided to have a glass. We asked for her recommendations as it is always fun to get the staff's opinion on menu items and she replied that everything is good, but she especially likes the Australian Chicken. We asked about the pizzas and she recommended the George's special and told us we would love it. Sold (although I would really like to go back and try the chicken). The pizza was delivered hot, fresh and flavorful. Toppings included pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. The ratio of sauce on the pizza was just perfect and so tasty. Toppings still had that slight crisp that I love. The crust looked a bit thicker, but was not. It was crunchy outside, but had a wonderful softness to the inside that I loved and a great flavor. Usually, I discard crusts, but I munched on these. We were offered Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Those red pepper flakes packed some heat! We had the best experience thanks to Melissa and the delicious food! I hope that we have an opportunity to come back in the short week we are here.

Jessa, our server was amazing, a great waitress as well as funny and kind. She constantly checked to be sure we were ok, our glasses were always full.

Lastly prices are very reasonable. To add chicken to my pasta was $3.00, and it was a ton of moist tender chicken. We will absolutely return to this gem. Thanks Jessa for making it a great experience.

My husband was pretty satisfied with his catfish. I found my fish to be a bit too fishy and had to spit it out halfway through. My husband even said mine tasted too fishy for his liking as well and couldn't finish it. He ordered the catfish and enjoyed that. I think the serving sizes were a little disappointing for the price. Upon arrival, my husband found that they were not yet open, despite their hours stating they would be. Eventually, when they let him in around 20 min later, it seemed like the staff was not anticipating a customer walking in, and they explained that getting their food truck ready was their top priority. It was a disappointing experience, since it was Father's Day and he was really looking forward to trying this place out for his Father's Day lunch and it wasn't the best experience. He did enjoy the food and said he'd order it again for himself, but from the food truck next time because it seems maybe those customers might have better experiences. Personally, I would not return.

This is a great review I saw from back home ! BackstreetCrabs in Franklin. I had heard the food was…read moregreat, but had seen other not so nice reviews as well (you never know until you try it though). Ill try to give y'all a good honest opinion of the restaurant and food. I had seen the shrimp and crab philly posted on this page and thought "I've got to try that, I've never had any sandwich like that before." Well today was the day. I placed my order over the phone and the young lady who answered was very nice, (the ticket had the name Destiny on it). She answered all my questions and took my order without any issues. When I got to backstreet crabs I observed the gentleman cooking wearing gloves, a head covering, and a beard net. The young lady was helping some other customers and bagging up their order. She told me they were working on my order and I could go ahead and grab my drink (cooler with bottles and cans located in the customer seating area). When my order was ready it was boxed up and shown to me to make sure it was what I had asked for. Everything looked and smelled good. Staff was very friendly the entire time. Here's the pros of the meal: It was delicious! Piled high with filling and very flavorful. There were whole shrimp, not pieces. I think around 6 good size shrimp in the sandwich. There was so much filling I had to take a layer off the top. Fries were cooked perfectly as well. The only negative thing I have to say about the whole experience was that the sandwich was very wet, so the bread got soggy fast. Did that stop me from eating it, Nope. It was still delicious. I did end up taking the filling out of the bread once it was too soggy for my liking and just eating the filling. Just FYI if you plan to order over the phone you will need to pay with card while you are on the phone, but it wasn't a surprise, she did tell me when I asked to place a to go order. I'll definitely go back again, I've got my eye on the crab cake sandwich for next time or maybe some wings. Love to help local hometown!
