We shared the fried okra appetizer, and every morsel was crispy, hot, and perfect. I had the chef's salad; everything was fresh and delicious, and it really hit the spot. My mother-in-law liked her French dip sandwich with tots, and my husband had the two-piece fish with tots and enjoyed it. Really, this was such a homey place. I would be happy to come here on another visit.

Do you like a good burger? I'd put them easily in the top 5 in Fayetteville and probably my favorite based on proximity to my house. Do you like a Ribeye? The N.A.T.O Grilled Ribeye is a beast of a sandwich that is worth the price. My wife sticks to one of the fried shrimp sandwiches because they are so good it doesn't make sense for her to change it up. You want a Ribeye but your kids want chicken tenders? They've got you covered. The tender baskets are massive! Burgers? Did I mention those? Got a picky kid that doesn't like cheese? Get the Royale w/ cheese with no cheese and it's the perfect size. Shout out to a shareable shrimp basket, excellent cold subs, a variety of hot subs including a great cheese steak and a riff on a french dip. Go to Mess Hall and go often. This is the kind of great, affordable, and consistent spot an area like east Fayetteville needs.

There were no sides or anything with it. And it was barely put together. Odd. Burgers looked good. Should have just opted for lunch.

I have always loved eating at Neal's. On Father's Day, my family went there to eat. (5 of us) My…read moremom and her friend ordered a grill cheese and BLT. I had a hamburger and fries, nephew and niece had chicken fried chicken. 5 drinks. Our bill was $154.20. I got home and looked it up, because I thought that is extremely high. I looked up the pricing online menu and I was overcharged $60. They close early on Sunday, closed on Monday so I called first thing Tuesday morning. Mr. Neal was so mean to me on the phone about it. I tried to explain to him, but he didn't want to hear it and told me it was expensive to eat out. Well, I doubt a grill cheese and chips and a BLT and chips is $30 a person. I am so disappointed and he also told me I shouldn't have waited so long. I will not be going back and encourage everyone to make sure you add the totals up before paying.

Well the egg is fried which I was not expecting, due to the egg being fried it was over cooked, the deviled part was bland and the bacon was "hundred dollar bacon" at best. For our entree we got the bbq for two, the chicken tasted like they tried too hard to get the smoke flavor, the baked beans were just straight up bad - I don't think they used the right beans, the slaw was not slaw-ing, the pulled pork was ok if you changed your mindset to it being a roast, the ribs weren't memorable. Now this is coming from someone who grew up in Memphis and knows about good bbq so maybe I'm being too harsh and it's my fault that I order bbq from a non bbq restaurant, but imo if you're gonna serve it, do it right or take it off the menu.
