    Tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich
    Tim K.

    101 is a regular stop for us. Very consistent in their food and service. Wife got the tomato basil soup with a kicked up grilled cheese sandwich. I opted for the grilled buffalo chicken wrap with chips. Both were excellent. I'm not a tomato soup fan but I have to admit the soup was delicious! I may actually try a bowl next time. There is always healthy "buzz" here from the patrons. It is a comfortable place in a small town. I've left other reviews for 101 so this is going to be a bit short. Absolutely the best restaurant in town. That says it all.

    tables and chairs outside a restaurant

    We stopped in while traveling through Mocksville this afternoon. We had been on Main Street over the summer and noticed the restaurant and bookmarked it at that time. Today we were headed to Concord and decided to stop in. We arrived about noon and were able to find street parking with no problem. This portion of town is historic and very charming. The restaurant is no exception, the brick exterior looks to be well maintained and cared for. We stepped inside and were immediately impressed. On the left is a full bar with counter seating, to the right is the restaurant area. We checked in with a hostess and were immediately seated and provided menus. Our server, Megan stopped in and took our drink orders. We also inquired about the menu and she told us her favorites along with the most popular offerings. The menu was larger than we expected and features appetizers, salads, entrees, sandwiches/wraps, burgers and more. My wife ordered the salmon entree with extra grilled veggies instead of rice and a side salad. I chose the chicken parmesan with fried chicken and a side salad. Our salads arrived quickly and looked better than the average side salad. We both enjoyed and our entrees arrived quickly. Megan was very friendly and attentive and kept checking on us. My wife really enjoyed her meal and I liked chicken parmesan, I just didn't love the chunkiness of the sauce. The building is very cool both inside and out. There is a spiral staircase in the dining area leading up to the second floor. We love the exposed brick and wood floors. We asked our server about the history and she said it was a furniture store at one point and currently has apartments upstairs. My wife reported the restroom was very clean and well maintained. We also noted their health score, we believe from memory it was 98.5. A great stop and we would absolutely recommend to others. There is a small antique store next door and a coffee shop across the street as well.

    Pork skins! Hot and crackling and WOW!!

    Cool atmosphere. Friendly staff. Never been heard but the Yelp reviews convinced us to give it a try! Not disappointed.

    Stopped in here to have lunch with my sister and her family during a soccer tournament break. We arrived around 12 pm and with a total of 13 people in our party were seated within 15 mins. They seated us in a large room in the back. The only con of the visit was the room was extremely cool (63 degrees). We asked about the fire place but the young gentleman didn't really know how to start it. I ordered the crab cake with a side salad. It was delicious. The crab ratio was pretty good too. My hubs ordered the Philly cheesesteak sub with chips and he said it was a very good sub. Everyone at the table said their food was good and our server Brianna was so pleasant and did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. For 6 people the bill was $90.69 not including tip. With the large party they added an automatic gratuity. The area around the restaurant is so cute with a coffee shop, a couple of boutiques, a yoga studio and several other quaint places to visit. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

    Second time round ! Much better experience. Food and service were much better, Prosecco was actually really bubbly!! We sat outside in a nice February day but needed a little heat but they were out of propane they said . We had the crab dip and hot chips for apps and both were excellent . The chips were so crunchy and not greasy at all. The crab dip nice and creamy and the hot pita excellent . My friends salmon salad was so pretty and plentiful for lunch the next day and the shrimp salad was the same. They have great sauces for their proteins even in a salad . Vast variety of dressings too. I had the grilled chicken on black beans and rice which comes with queso but I opted for none. Nicely seasoned chicken and lots of it. The beans and rice were really flavorful and I could have eaten just that by itself. Really good. Server was attentive and checked by several times. Nice and easy dinner at a local Place I wasn't overly impressed with first time around. So glad I came back to try it again.

    Special steak tacos with onion, cilantro, side of salsa and fries
    Kyle B.

    I came in to meet some people around noon and I was surprised at how busy it was. Even with the amount of customers inside, it appeared that newly arriving guests were being seated immediately. The waitress quickly came over and took my order, the special for the day, steak tacos with a side of fries. The food took an average amount of time to come out. Everything was hot, and it looked and smelled great. The fries were very crispy and didn't need any sauces, which I normally go for. The tacos themselves came with onion and cilantro on it and salsa on the side. I poured the salsa over the tacos and it was the perfect match. Salsa had great flavor and even a little kick to it. I like things spicy so I got some extra Buffalo on the side to pour on. Of everything I've ordered at 101 over the years, this was definitely my favorite dish and I'd absolutely order it again. The check kind of took a while to come out, but once we got it and paid they were quick to return. 101 is a staple for Mocksville that I hope is around for a long time!

    I got the lunch special coffee rubbed ribeye steak sandwich, cooked perfectly for medium rare.  My fiances burger was on point.

    Crab dip with Pita
    Amanda V.

    Found this place randomly after a dentist appointment. The inside is so gorgeous. It's an older building, with hardwood floors, lovely brick and a big beautiful bar. Started with the crab dip, then ordered the half rack of ribs with side salad and French fries, the fish and chips, and the cheese quesadilla for my daughter. Their food is to die for. The ribs were fall of the bone tender and so moist. Not to mention their BBQ sauce was superb. The crab dip was great, but wish the pita weren't so hard. The fish and chips were tasty as well. They were generous sized filets with minimal (but well seasoned ) breading. I asked for the homemade chips to be a little on the floppy side, and they didn't disappoint! All 3 meals plus the appetizer were $53. The service was some of the best I've had this year. I cannot wait to go back and try their "Friday Steak Night" and have a drink.

    Caution!!

    I want to start out with this place has really decent food and bar drinks. My wife and I have been here a lot. Tonight I brought my kids for the first time and ordered wings. I will say they were very tasty. However this is where this place falls of the rails. The menu advertised the price for 25 wings as $27 pictured below. When I got my bill they were $37.50. I asked the waitress who in turn spoke with the owner who pointed out the small disclaimer at the very bottom of the menu. "Prices subject to change".. This is unacceptable, I understand that food is expensive and changing menus is also costly. Could we not expect that someone would mention before the fact a $10.50 price increase on a single menu item! I expressed my concern and paid my last bill at this establishment.

The food truck/vendor festival downtown was absolutely packed and the lines were so crazy we decided we'd rather sit down in a restaurant instead. When we walked in, they cleaned off a table and had us seated right away. We ordered the crab pretzel for an appetizer because it sounded unique and interesting. It was so rich, almost difficult to eat, so we won't be doing that again. We ordered our food and I ordered a cocktail. We actually watched the drink sit on the bar, all the ice melting... for at least 20 minutes before it was brought to our table. It was a watered down version of what could have been good. Our food took over an hour to arrive. We walked in around 1:30, and didn't leave until 2:50. The food arrived at 2:40. We only left because I had somewhere to be at 3, not because we were finished eating... my husband's burger and fries were lukewarm at best, as were my fries. My sandwich was only hot because they had forgotten to make it along with my husband's food, and someone called out for them to make one real quick. Which explains why my husband's food was no longer warm, because we watched it sit there while they made my food. I had time to take a couple bites of my sandwich before we had to try and flag down our waitress for the check and to-go boxes because I no longer had time to eat before my event. This was so, so disappointing and we were really surprised that nothing was comped from our bill. Even a check in from the manager would have been nice, just to acknowledge that this was not the norm? If it had been my first time in, I would never be back.
