OUR DRINKS NEED REFILLED. 14 more minutes pass as now I am vividly watching. I stop another server and ask her to go to the kitchen and get a time as we have already now been waiting AT LEAST 46 minutes for a burger, fries. A side salad and 12 wings. She returns, tells me our food is being prepared. And weakly apologizes and say they had 2 large parties and that food is fresh cooked to order. Are you butchering the chickens? Are you peeling the baby carrots and churning buttermilk for ranch dressing? Why didn't they tell us that? Why didn't a manager walk around and even tell us this? Not a word until 46 minutes has passed. The restaurant wasn't even close to half full and had plenty of servers. What I hoped to be a pleasant stop for lunch was ruined by POOR SERVICE. NO! You don't get to apologize for bad service AND take my money before I even get my food. Sorry, not sorry. I was pleasant, asked for resolution and you hid behind "fresh food, made to order" Shameful.

The…read morefood tastes like something someone's grandma has been perfecting for years--fresh, simple, and really satisfying. Their pasta dishes are always spot-on, and the pizzas have that perfect mix of flavor and a cozy, homemade vibe. They've also been incredibly accommodating with our big group twice now, which says a lot about the kind of place this is. Even when they're busy, the staff treats you well. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the kind of spot where you settle in and feel right at home. If you're in Marion and want good Italian food with true small-town charm, Luisa's is absolutely worth a visit.

Our waitress was so kind, and the owner personally greeted us when we arrived and again before we left, which really spoke volumes about the kind of place this is.

We only wish we lived closer because we'd be regulars here! But we'll definitely be stopping back in on our next trip to western NC.

I was alone so I…read morechose one of the high seats across from the bar so larger parties could take any other open spots. I didn't realize that this meant that the bartender would also be my server. She was really busy and I felt like some of the other servers could have helped out. I ended up waiting a bit before she was able to get away from the bar to take my drink order. I was there for a hot dog and they had some good options. I ended up choose the Rueben dog which had sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island dressing. I also went with the Dipper fries (after asking what they were). It didn't take long for the food to arrive and I, admittedly, enjoyed eavesdropping on some of the conversations around me. :) It looked like the dog had been sitting under a warmer cause the thousand island was....dry?...looking. I went to pick up the bun and it was already coming apart. Not a great sign. On the bottom of the bun there was a small black spot. My suspicion was mold but I don't know that for sure. I cut it off. The whole hot dog fell apart after the first bite. Lots of wet toppings will do that to an untoasted bun. The hot dog itself was ok but I wanted more thousand island dressing. The Dipper fries were great. They are essentially Fritos scoops but as fries, fries that are cut in a scoop shape, and they are served with cheese sauce. What's not to like? I'd be interested in trying other items on the menu but probably wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Most of us had beer, but a few of the ladies preferred beverages with vodka. For lunch, my wife selected the Pulled Pork Nachos. It was a very generous portion!

One gentleman sitting next me had the meatloaf special. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. He also got hush puppies with his meal. He enjoyed it all!

When the waitress checked back I opted for their hand pressed burger that comes with lettuce and tomato and a pickle spear on the side, plus a side of your choice. I added cheese to the burger for a $1 up charge and chose fries for my side item. I was pleasantly surprised this time that the ambiance was not so loud that people would have to yell to talk with one another, it was at a normal restaurant range with the occasional loud laugh or child, but pleasant. My food came within a reasonable time and tasted really good. The waitress checked on me several times and provided refills and the check promptly. For all the above I would have to recommend. However, the cost was $16 and change for cash or $17 with a card (not including a tip). I know that prices are higher on everything, but this is a little much for what I had. And if I had know ahead of time they didn't have Gyros anymore I would have gone somewhere else with as good if not better burgers for a better price.

Spring greens, sweet onion, shaved fennel, gourmet tomatoes, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), Craisins and lots of fresh herbs with an amazing house-made vinaigrette dressing. Impressive. Absolutely make a stop here and see for yourself.
