Well, I didn't have a great experience here yesterday, sadly, I had to drive over an hour for a DMV…read moreappointment, so I looked online and this place was highly rated. I had already chosen my "carved turkey Reuben sandwich", yum, when I first went at around 12:30-the line was out the door, so went to my appointment, hoping I could get back by the 230 close time. Returned at about 215 yay, and happily walked right up to the counter to order my lunch, when I was told they were out of carved turkey (the way the server explained it sounded like an ingredient in the Reuben was out, not the actual turkey. I asked if the "simple turkey sandwich" had carved turkey, and I was told no, it was deli meat-deli meat is so processed and unhealthy. I was super disappointed. So I opted for a Smashburger after asking how they liked it and she said it was "delicious". Well, it's not a Smashburger. It's a double burger on a nothing special bun. I was going to take the bun off and eat it with a knife and fork, and I was looking for those yummy crispy edges on a authentic Smashburger. They didn't exist. This was a double cheeseburger with very thick patties. I think they were grass fed so kudos to them for that,, but it was incredibly dry sadly, and when I saw that the bun had been toasted with butter, I put it back on and had a couple more bites, but was super disappointed-and trust me nobody loves a great cheeseburger more than I but now I love smash burgers as well!. I also ordered the Orzo cucumber and feta salad (as well as the french fries) on the side and while it was OK, it was nothing special. French fries were just meh. After all the stellar reviews I had I was very surprised that they would make a double cheeseburger and call it a Smash-burger-I wish these restaurants would stop doing that, it's misleading, other restaurants do this too. And for the money I spent, I should've just gone to Shake shack! I DO think it's worth a second chance, and I will say everybody there was very kind on the Service level and it's an adorable, really beautiful spot and vibe ! I strolled around and looked at the merchandise afterwards. So hopefully I'll be back but just super disappointed I didn't have a nice meal and left hungry.

Me and my family recently stopped by for a late lunch after the zoo. This was the perfect spot to…read moregrab something to eat after walking around the zoo. We started with the spinach dip and everyone loved it. It came with these toasted bread bites that had a great seasoning and crunch to them. They kind of reminded me of an everything bagel but as a bread bite. This paired really nicely with the hot spinach dip. They also have a ton of coffee and tea options. I was a little bummed that did not have fountain sodas. My sister got a smoothie and really liked it. For my entree I got the Italian flatbread. It was a really nice combination of flavors with the sausage and peppers. I sampled my boyfriend's flatbread (pickled) and thought it was great as well! They have a large variety of options, perfect for a group like my family with different tastes. Everyone enjoyed it and agreed we'd have to come back when in the area!

HORRIBLE! The cashier (the manager) lied to me this morning. From the first time I started coming…read moreto Brewskie's, the staff told me I could sit with my dog in the green chairs in the corner. After sitting down, they always brought me my coffee, no complaints. But this morning, the manager told me my dog was not allowed there, and that dogs had never been allowed there, not in the 4 yrs she'd been manager. HUH?? Why was she lying to me? Why didn't she just admit that she was making a change in their long-standing policy of allowing dogs there? Just the week before, I had come there with my dog and found the green chairs occupied. When I asked the employee if there was another place inside where dogs were allowed, she said no. She did NOT say that dogs weren't allowed there anyway. Good-bye Brewskie's. Good-bye to a manager who feels no shame for lying to customers.

These savvy businesses owners have proven time and again their dedication to the craft of quality specialty coffee. Their adorable shop has ample interior and exterior seating. They offer a variety of signature drink from coffee to matcha latte's to Italian soda's and hot chocolate as well as a rotating seasonal menu. I tried the seasonal strawberry fields iced at the recommendation of the barista. It was phenomenal. A beautiful balance of strawberry and brown sugar.

Friendly baristas? Check. Interesting seasonal drinks? Check. Unique atmosphere (industrial but with a bunch of greenery and lots of comfortable seating)? Check. I had a Strawberry Fields (brown sugar latte topped with strawberry cold foam), and it was an excellent pick-me-up after walking around the zoo. It would not be too bold to say that this is the best coffeeshop in Asheboro, hands down.

His recommendation inspired our daughter, a few friends, and me to visit, and we had a wonderful time. We enjoyed watching the glassblowing demonstrations, browsing the unique shops, and relaxing with coffee and lunch in the café. Afterward, we strolled through the beautiful pollinator garden and along the walking trail before grabbing coffees to go. Starworks is such a unique destination, combining art, nature, and a wonderful café all in one place. There truly is something for everyone, and it's definitely a place we'll be returning to. Highly recommended!

One of the many gems of Badin, the Badin Coffee is the place you want to know their hours (which…read morechange by the season) and visit often. When you walk in, you are immediately dazzled with all of the trinkets and supplements available for purchase, and lulled by the smell of coffee. The interior seating is tables and chairs that can be configured from groups of 1 to 10, or more. There's multiple display cases full of home baked goods, homemade pimento cheese, and other items. Their beverage options are wide enough for anyone to find something to drink. We are fast fans of their cold brew coffee. It is by far the smoothest cold brew I have ever consumed. Their food options slightly vary week to week, but most are in heavy rotation and you will soon know why - the quality is unmatched. Our most recent venture brought to our table a bear claw and a chocolate croissant. To say I was pleased is the understatement of the year. I was overjoyed with the amount of chocolate in the croissant. The bear claw has a tasty almond filling, and the glazed slivered almonds on top give a nice contrast of texture. You can't go wrong with anything inside the coffee shop, as it is much more than just coffee that is sold within. If you're in Badin during their business hours, it would be your loss if you don't pop in.

This lovely coffee house is easy to park at with delicious treats and what also looks like a lot of very healthy alternative food options for snacks and healthy drinks. My husband got a flat white from a beautiful copper coffee machine and I got an iced coffee. They were both excellent drinks. We sat outside under their covered patio that had some circular fans that kept us cool before we headed out. It was super convenient that they also sell lake hats and supplies so I grabbed a hat to keep the sun off my head and it was very useful!

If I could give this place ten stars, I would. You will have a wait when you get there, and you…read morewill wait no matter how long it takes. You cannot find a better place for a meal, or more kind folks running the place from top to bottom. And if your plate is too big to finish, feel free to take it home, because you'll want to save room for dessert. Magnolia 23 is a staple in our household. So long as we've lived within a 30 minute drive, it has been a great place for a Sunday lunch, or any other meal within the hours they are open. They treat you like family from the very start with the way that they take names for the line. It's natural to start a conversation with the people around you, because everyone has the same end game - a great meal. Once you're seated, it's never long before a waitress comes and takes your drink order. The menu for the day is posted on Facebook and written on the board on the wall, along with the sides and dessert options. There's no menus because it's a meat and two sides, plus a bread of either roll or cornbread. The seating is tables and chairs, although some areas have couches for seating, which is a nice change of pace. Today I got stewed beef with sides of mac and cheese, yams, and bread choice was cornbread. My other half got the country style steak, with sides of cabbage and rice with gravy, and bread of cornbread. The littles shared a fried chicken plate with side of mashed potatoes with gravy. They divided and conquered their food so fast I forgot to snag a picture of it. The stewed beef was perfection. So tender, and the juices went well with the cornbread. The yams were expertly spiced, and prepared with so much love. The mac and cheese was delicious, so I offered some to my youngest who promptly stole the rest of it. I did sample the country style steak, and it was so delicious that none was spared. I cannot wait to eat my leftover stewed beef later this week, as I knew I wanted to save room for dessert. We ordered two fried apple pies, and a slice of Hershey bar cake. Be careful with the fried pies - the filling turns into molten lava when heated, so despite the fact that you'll want to take the largest first bite, please be patient and spare your taste buds from their imminent demise by letting it cool a minute. The spices on the apple filling on the fried pies were perfect, and I savored every bite that I stole from my husband. My dessert was the Hershey bar cake, which I split with one of my littles. It didn't have a thick layer of icing, which was great. The cake had a nice crumb, and was sweet without being overly sweet. If you haven't been here yet, make sure to take note of their hours and then take a trip to Asheboro. Once you've finished your meal, feel free to take a stroll around downtown and know that you've just had the best meal around. Magnolia 23 is worth the price and worth the wait, because you will be blessed by the whole experience.

We found parking easily behind the building and were given a warm and friendly welcome while walking up the stairs to the cozy porch before we even stepped inside. We arrived early since we knew this place was popular so luckily we had no wait on a Friday evening! We decided to try the catfish, fried chicken, and chicken & dumplings as our meats and a various assortment of the sides including collards, slaw, Lima beans, green beans, potatoes, corn bread and rolls. Absolutely every bite was inhaled, sadly I even missed a chance to take any pictures and my kids (7&9) couldn't stop remarking about how delicious everything was! The chicken & dumplings sold out right after we ordered so we felt lucky to try it too. The service was stellar and quick. HThe owner greeted many of the guests by name and took the time to chat with us and discovered our Wilmington connection- it was so refreshing to see this type of family run farm to table establishment and exchange local foodie recommendations. Next time we will definitely be leaving room for dessert!
