Driving thru North Carolina on my way to Raleigh, my friend and I stopped off and spent the night in Salisbury. Grabbed dinner at Recipe. Not very busy but cozy and excellent service. Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.

This local spot in downtown Salisbury is so good! I've eaten here a few time & it's always been great! The owner made me his favorite dish & it's the grilled chicken stuffed roll with a chipotle sauce over rice & wow was it tasty! Grilled chicken Caesar is always a great staple! Would highly recommend you guys check it out!

Such a cute little spot in town! I will say, the entrance and seating process is a little clunky and could be improved with a hostess stand, instead of yelling across the room, but, that aside, my meal was delicious! The service was great and the pricing is totally reasonable.

Cranberry Apple salad with chicken -and special this evening the gyro and fries (their fries were FANTASTIC!)

Everything we have tried here has been fresh and amazing! From salads, gyros, to Quesadillas you can't go wrong with any choice!

Ok I just found my favorite place to eat in all of Salisbury. I've been to a lot of places while my daughter has been doing theater practices here but oh my, I wish I came to this place long ago because it would be my only place to eat all these days. It's right inside of town. It's a nice warm place. And the people are very nice and accommodating. The menu is PURE GOLD. I had a terrible time picking what I wanted becuase there were soooooooo many great options. I'll have to come back to try others on the menu. But for today I got The Recipe Chicken Roll which is stuffed fried chicken breast with cheese, ham& slices. Served over rice and topped with homemade creamy chipotle sauce. I'm speechless. This was so good. I absolutely loved this meal. I got to come back and try more things. 5 stars. Best in town!!

Recipe is a great cafe in downtown Salisbury offering a variety of fresh lunch and dinner options. The ambience is very calm and quiet.

Greek spaghetti with blacken chicken

This place is amazing! The atmosphere was causal and yet elegant. Pricing wasn't outrageous. And the food was so good! Some of the best food I have had here since moving from the west coast. I had the Greek spaghetti with blacken chicken. My husband had the lasagna which was awesome and my son devoured the salmon. The server was so lovely, knowledgeable about the food and just all around fabulous! You must go here!

Alfredo
Sam B.

We enjoyed our meal. My chicken Alfredo came with a side salad and breadstick (you choose if you and mushrooms or broccoli in it. The pasta was very tender and tastes like fresh pasta. The sauce flavor was a little light. My husbands Mediterranean chicken came on a bed of rice with two sides and a breadstick. The portion sizes were huge. The food tasted good. Service was nice. It's small inside, so it makes for a very intimate setting. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Just a solid burger with decent beef. It had been years since I last visited a Texas Roadhouse, and I had not remembered the vibe being like this at other locations in the past. This place was absolutely packed for just before 5PM on a Wednesday, and the atmosphere was loud and boisterous. The crowd leaned very country, and it felt closer to a late-night western bar than a dinner spot. A few guests at the bar were already being cut off from more drinks, which tells you how lively it was. I always enjoy a place with bread service. Logan's still sets the bar for me, but the rolls here are decent. I would say they edge out Outback if you ask for regular butter. The default cinnamon butter is sweet, which just isn't my thing. One thing that stood out is how well staffed it was considering the time of day. For the first time in a long while, I didn't feel like the servers were stretched too thin, although they were clearly hustling to keep up with the nonstop drink orders. I can only imagine how wild it gets on a Saturday night. This is probably the best service of any establishment I've been to in Salisbury, despite the crowd - although if you've seen the service in Salisbury that really isn't much of a compliment. For my taste, the rowdy vibe took away from the experience since I was just looking for a burger and a beer. If you enjoy a high-energy, noisy dinner with a big crowd, this spot will be perfect for you. Personally, I probably wouldn't bring a date or family here unless they were into that kind of scene.

Food is good but I'd suggest new ownership/new higher management to run this location. On a couple…read moredifferent occasions servers mentioned the owners don't like tables ordering kid steak meals/extra plates. And it seems the servers get pressured from management on this and it negatively shows to families with children who come to this location. And if you ask for an extra plate to share all sorts of negative emotions are displayed from servers. This has happened on multiple occasions. With young kids who do not eat much anyway, not sure why this location wants to pick battles with families with kids. All of this doesn't just flow from the servers, it comes from the management/owner(s) who instead of finding a way to balance margins and customer service, they sacrifice customer service for minimal margin gain by directing their staff and probably reprimanding them for these kinds of situations. We have visited multiple other longhorns over the years and this is the only one that displays a noticeable stinginess and negative attitude with extra plates and kid's meal orders. All other longhorns have provided excellent service when we order the same thing at any other longhorn we go to and have no complaints; the Salisbury location however today decided to seemingly cut one of our kids meal steaks in half and serve one steak as two on separate kids meals. Our server today was sweet and very nice until we ordered, then a noticeable shift took place in the tone and atmosphere, and the staff seemed to try and "get back" at us by providing us with the tiniest steaks possible, literally half the size of a normal kid's steak we have ever received in the years we have been going to Longhorn and getting kids meals. With 3 young kids all over 2 years old present; ordering 2 kids meals and an extra plate with our family of 5 should not be met with this kind of disgruntlement from staff. This kind of stinginess flows from the higher ups at this location and it shows. And of all the days to deliver a passive aggressive retaliation on kids meals to my kids, they chose Father's Day. We will not be returning to this location as it is not family friendly. So now, losing customers and revenue over this pettiness doesn't seem so good for the margins anymore does it?

So we decided to get a bite while we were in the area.My wife wanted the coconut Shrimp. I decided on the wings. I just about got the Lasagna. It's all ways been good over the years. I had a salad to go with my wings. Salad was fine. My wife wanted the sweet sauce for her coconut shrimp but it came with some other dipping sauce. Which neither she or I liked. Her Coconut shrimp were cooked that had it been a piece of meat it would be Well Done. There was no sign of coconut on the shrimp. And the dipping sauce wasn't even good. My wings were cooked to death. I was rolling them in the wing sauce to possibly give them some moisture. They were cooked dry I was having to wash each one down with my beverage.

Absolutely fantastic find. Salisbury really needed a restaurant like this! The server was great,…read morereally taking pride in what she does. Incredibly informative about the menu, friendly, thorough, and completely elevated the experience. I can't remember her name but she said she just celebrated her one year anniversary working there. The chef, Kyle, came to our table to discuss a food allergy of someone in our party and came back multiple times to talk to us. He was GREAT, and we could really tell he was experienced and loves what he does. What we got: Milk Bread - 100/10.... I could've eaten the whole thing myself. I would love to get ahold of this recipe... and the homemade butter. Oysters - 10/10 I was reluctant because of the past reviews, but they were outstanding. Some of the best oysters I've ever had in my life. Had a Bloody Mary seasoning. Chicken wing special - 100/10 wow and wow. I could've also eaten all six of these by myself. I held back ordering a second round. Tomahawk steak - 10/10 the flavor on this was unlike anything I have ever tasted before. Perfectly cooked and worth the price. The creamed spinach side that comes with the steak was also glorious. The potatoes that came with it were not my favorite, but they did the job. Cabbage special - 100/10 this may have been my favorite thing we ate all night. Unfortunately, the portion was not that big and I really wish there were more for the price. . It was outstanding. Panna cotta dessert - 8/10 I'm not a big dessert person so this was nice because it was not overly sweet and very light. The overall experience was wonderful. It was relaxed, we did not feel rushed. Atmosphere 10 out of 10. Service 10 out of 10. Food 9.999 out of 10. Steep price tag, but it was well worth it and we can't wait to come back when we visit again next year.
