    Good burger...got the Carolina Classic...8oz hand pressed...Coleslaw, carmalized onion, cheddar, and I think it was supposed to have chili on it which it did not but it was still tasty...guess I have to go back again and get it with chili lol....place was clean and the server was very friendly.

    I can't believe all of the high ratings and stars for this place. To begin with it's right next door to and in the same building with Big Boy's 66 Truck Stop. So you might know the food here is simply belly filler truck stop food. The emphasis here is on Southern Country food and they even seem to do some Low Country. You have your choice of a buffet or sit down order. I did the sit down, ordering a Country Fried Steak. I sort of knew that at $8.99 they couldn't make it all that good and they didn't. The sauce had been more than liberally doused with white pepper and had the consistency and texture of wall paper paste. Looking around I'd say half the patrons are truckers with the other half being tourists or travelers who have pulled in to fuel up. On the good side, Lowell Mill Restaurant is spotlessly clean and super friendly. For a restaurant I've seen better but as a truck stop restaurant, it's one of the best.

    Everything was Great!!!

    The restaurant is in a small truck-stop off of I-95. Many comfort food choices with large portions. Friendly staff.

I do not recall the signage upon the highways blue boards that tell of gas, food and lodging, those signs have changed over the years and seemingly mainly advertise only the big burger guys. I reckon it was just past 3:00am when I exited the interstate and after a quick loop de loop I got all excited to see the yellow and black sign of Waffle House. It's become a comforting place for me as redneck as that may sound - South Carolina kicked off that trend by way of late nights with a newly met hussie, breakfast with my son, or just me and my thoughts and newspapers. Maximum Overdrive rigs all around, some snooze some sleep some sort out their trip- I took a seat at a table in the rear. Coffee always is served quickly and my order never never really changes "All Star, pecan waffle, Sunnyside up with bacon, grits and extra butter". But the eggs came out rubbery and bouncy scrambled, I had thoughts of silky textures. As I played with it with my fork questioning my ability to resurrect them, I caught a movement outside and entering quickly through the double doors.A heavy coated screaming man entered. He was certainly unstable, ranting and raving and seemed quite insane. He wasn't the type to be packing a heater as I assessed him up and down while not looking up with my I Can Spot Danger NYC lense. I've dealt with many people in far worse areas than this wiry fellow, so I nonchalantly slipped my hand in my front right pocket and fitted into my brass knuckles while eating and reading and listening, but nothing really came if it and in minutes the police arrived on scene. It's true that my order was incorrect, it's true the early mornings live entertainment was less than Carnegie Hall material, but the politeness of the staff is much appreciated when your a stranger in a strange land, hungry and have been cranking out the miles by the hundreds.

    Stopped here around 10:30 am on our way back from our granddaughter's gymnastics meet in Goldsboro…read more It was pretty full but we found one booth available. I ordered a Senior plate with (1) egg and bacon (extra crispy) and an unsweetened tea. It comes with grits or hashbrowns and toast automatically. The hubs ordered a waffle (lightly cooked), grits, sausage and a soda. Overall the food was good but my husband's sausage had an odd taste (according to him) and I put their whipped butter in my grits which ended up making my grits have an odd taste. For me the tea was very strong so much so that I asked for a half glass of water so I could mix it with the tea. Again none of this is a deal breaker but generally when we go to Waffle House the food is good diner food with no issues so we were a little surprised. Our servers name was Melissa and she was top notch. She asked us several times if we needed anything and was very accommodating when I asked for water. She was very professional and offered great customer service. The bathroom (womens) was really clean. Anyone that goes to Waffle House knows its a casual restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The total for our bill was $22 before tax and tip.

I showed 3 managers what it was doing and not one could fix it. I finally called the Corporate number to delete my account because the App wouldn't let me log in, just kept giving me "dcs_error_-10021" each time I tried. I'm not complaining about the food, or the price, or people who sell it. I used to buy a "big breakfast" every day but when I have to be logged into the application to get a reward, a free sm coffee @1500 pts, etc., the programmers ended the rewards program for me by this error so that there's now no way to track my precise location for food purchases for points, not to mention a real risk of losing financial data if they're that incompetent. A breach of information could occur if the programming is so bad a person can't even log in to close McDonald's linked bank card services. The AT&T Store said it was McDonald's App that's the problem, not the iphone. But that's little consolation when I can't close my account so hackers won't steal my financial information from the program written by McDonald's programmers, shown to be so incompetent that there's no way for me to even close my account. McDonald's said in the update to their terms,"[t]o close your account, you can visit 'your profile' and select 'delete account.'" Can you really?

We ordered the double cheese burger (comes with meat chili, onions, cheese and mustard) and one double hamburger with lettuce tomato onion. The double burgers were 1/2 pound. We also ordered some house made coleslaw. We sat at the one booth and we served very quickly. Our burgers were really good, the burger itself tasted good. The coleslaw was also a big win. We had 2 double burgers, coleslaws and 2 fountain drinks for 22$, great value and great taste. It is a true locals place run by a family.
