I wanted to take a friend to a nice spot Friday June 12, he had never had the pleasure of…read moreexperiencing. I've been here many times however it was his 1st visit. I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!

Good Country Cooking…read more This little country eatery always delivers. The Fried Flounder Lunch ($9.99 with 2 sides) hit the spot. The fish was lightly battered, crispy on the outside - flaky on the inside. The Potato Salad and Butter Beans tasted home-made and delicious. Service was prompt and efficient and came with a smile. No frills here - just good country cooking.

Yes, it makes a difference to those of us that have dogs... There is nothing I can say besides it's a cool concept. I love the way you place your order and go about your business and they holler at you when it's ready to eat!

Environment: Located in the suburbs…read more Cleanliness: 2 of 5 stars; Leadership/Management should ensure the restaurant is cleaned thoroughly at close of business as well as before the start of business each day; I needed to use the restroom at the end of our visit but thought about how the restaurant was presented upon entry and waited until I got home! The Welcome mat and surrounding floor area where we were seated had scattered crumbs/debri all around them! You shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover," so instead of leaving, I sat down and gave the food a try! Maybe it was an off-day, however first impressions are everything to me and the 101 Kitchen didn't come through with me for presentation yesterday! Food: Very tasty and plentiful; yet it was something about that steak that didn't taste quite like steak or maybe it was the fact that the Steak Exquisite Meal came with flank steak which tasted like a cross between sirloin, ribeye and something undecided! The (2) steaks came on a bed of fried potatoes with an egg for about $30! I'm one and done with this meal! My wife had pork belly bowl in which she didn't like; she sent it back to the kitchen and opted into a chicken and blueberry waffle plate for about $20! The chicken was thick and flavorful as well as the delectable Belgian waffle! We each had (1) glass pineapple juice($4/glass)! We spent $65 total with a tip! They have a full-service bar which might get my patronage later on this year because once again, they have exceptional service! Service: We received very prompt fast service and we're served our food/drink within 15-20 minutes of being seated!

Tucked just off Main Street where the GPS gets confused and the charm begins, this taproom is where…read morebarn wood meets black tie. Think polished pints served under Edison bulbs, aged barrels with a hint of char, and locals who know your name and your dog's favorite treat. Whether you're sipping a small-batch stout or catching up on small-town stories, this is the cozy hideaway with big flavor and even bigger character. Behind the bar, equal parts mixologist, mind-reader, and part-time therapist, the bartenders wield top-shelf spirits like wizards with a wand (if the wand were a gold-plated jigger). Armed with top-shelf spirits and a shaker that practically hums with anticipation, they're mixing up drinks that are equal parts alchemy and art. Whether you want something classic, curious, or completely custom, they don't just pour drinks--they craft tiny, liquid masterpieces with a wink and a story on the side. Come thirsty, leave a little dazzled. It's elegance in a glass, charm behind the bar, Cheers!

If you are in Wendell check this spot out. Cheers!

Although there were only a few patrons, it seemed like a bit too much for one person to handle, but he did so with grace. Same with the cook...he was solo, so it seemed like a lot to manage, but the food turnaround time was good. I ordered a specialty cocktail that was really good...lemon pepper chicken wings that were DELICIOUS...a smash burger and fries (burger was only so-so, but thy fries were good!)...and finished with fried oreos served with melted chocolate for dessert that were absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. I highly recommend Falls Local for their prime location, great service, delicious menu offerings, and overall great vibe. Can't wait to go back!
