First visit to Big Red's Cafe and it did NOT disappoint!…read more We tried the Kickin' Chicken with pasta salad and The Big Red with potato salad -- and wow... every bite was delicious! The service was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Safe to say we'll definitely be back because there are SO many more things on the menu we can't wait to try!

As a book girl I love that they have blind date with a book and a bookshelf with books. I also enjoyed the music selection. The staff were friendly. I got a Honey Nut Cheerios latte. Delicious! It's sweet so if you don't like sweet then it will not be for you. I also got a bacon, egg, and cheese. Which there was a little more food in the sandwich but it was still filling. We were playing on ordering and eating on the road but decided to sit and eat. I would definitely go back.

This is our second visit here, and our first time with the dinner menu. There were lots of great choices! We tried the hush puppies appetizer and the deviled eggs to start. Great presentation and delicious. For entrees we went with the chicken and gravy, fish tacos and the love bug smash burger. Huge portions and really really good. We were very full afterward. We wanted to have a little more leisurely time there, maybe try a dessert, but we had to be at an event, so there was a time constraint. Overall, this is a great spot in downtown Belmont. Also, this is Jonas family owned restaurant so check out all the music memorabilia by the restrooms.

Definitely not a Cafe......just a Gas station eatery. Food was ok, nothing special.......what you…read moremight expect at a Gas station.

I really wanted to like this place because the presentation of the food matched what you would…read moreexpect from a traditional North Carolina-style restaurant. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was very disappointing. I ordered burger steak with slaw, mashed potatoes, and gravy, while my sons ordered hamburgers. The meat in both meals felt extremely crumbly, almost as if it contained a large amount of breadcrumbs and very little actual meat. The flavor was far from what you would expect from quality beef and honestly tasted like everything except real meat. The mashed potatoes and gravy were average at best, and even the coffee tasted extremely weak, almost like flavored water. The only item I genuinely liked was the coleslaw. The wait staff were polite and genuinely tried to make the experience pleasant, which I appreciate. However, people primarily visit restaurants for the food, and sadly that was the weakest part of the experience at Small Town Kitchen in Cherryville. On a scale from 0-10, where 10 is excellent, I would honestly give the experience a 1, mainly because the coleslaw was decent. I hope the restaurant improves the quality of its meat and overall food preparation because the location itself has potential.
