    Veggie with side of bacon
    Tony R.

    Been here many times but not since I've been a Yelper! About time, huh? It's a nice intimate " hole in the wall" that fits about 50 people. Kinda like an old fashioned diner you see on old movies.The burgers here are fantastic and a HUGE bang for the buck! Fresh hand patty and a great grill taste. Hmmmm, man, now I want one. But we're here for breakfast. Getting a veggie omelette , 2 eggs, onion, tomato, and cheese$4.30(wife) with side of bacon$$1.30 and I'm getting the Western Omelette 3 eggs, onion.tomato, ham, bacon , sausage and cheese $6.15. Both come with grits or gravy , toast or biscuit. Hash browns + .25 . As busy as it was, only took 15 minutes for our food. This is definitely a local favorite for breakfast lunch or dinner.

    Double cheese burger
    Melanee B.

    The perfect little "greasy spoon" as I like to call it. They had an amazing peanut butter chocolate shake with a dream-worthy double cheese burger. The burger was huge and cheesy and delicious. The prices were super cheap and I was pretty surprised. The servers were nice, the wait wasn't very long at all. They have the old wooden bench style seating. As for covid procedures, none of the employees were wearing masks, the benches were pushed apart, but I don't believe the tables were 6 feet apart. That would be the only thing I would change and it's something for you Yelpers to be aware of.

    Cheeseburger with Slaw and Tomato

    The Shake Shop is a local dining institution. It's one of the quintessential hometown eating spots in Rutherford County, along with places like Smith's Cut Rate and Davis Donuts down the road in Forest City. The burgers are fresh, handpattied and a great size. Not small and not way too thick. (YES, that's possible. A bland and thick slab of meat is NOT good.) You can also get homestyle lunch and dinner plates. Service was great for us on our visits. We went back again for a breakfast. I ate a delicious livermush and egg biscuit, and a side of buttery grits. My wife had a biscuit and gravy, which was different gravy than we are used to. It was a darker gravy, not the white cream gravy we know. It was okay but not a favorite. She also had a side of salty country ham. Yum! Plenty of parking here. Cards accepted, but you get a small discount if you use cash. Two of us ate for about $15 including a tip, both at breakfast and lunch.

    a burger and fries on a tray

    Good cheeseburgers, hamburgers, chili with the burgers (under the patty), sweet tea, and freshly-made lemonade. My 10-year-old daughter loved her burger and lemonade and said it was amazing. You can tell the burgers are made fresh and not overcomplicated. Probably just a bit of salt and pepper and made by hand. Crinkle french fries OK; might be frozen, nothings special. But burgers are good and make this place worth a stop. Be mindful that staff were not wearing masks amid COVID-19, though a plexiglass was up at the counter where you pay. We went to the Main Street Park in downtown Rutherfordton to enjoy an outdoor meal on a beautiful day.

    Ordered a cheese burger plate to go, long wait and when I went to eat it, it had no meat or cheese. I won't come here again.

    Basically same place as previous place, Draft Sports Bar. Same bar, same tables same pool tables…read moreand TVs. Food is a tad different and the same style. Wings, burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and sandwiches . But they do a southern style home cooking with specials on Sunday. It changes from meatloaf, fried chicken, fish (whitting) . On to our food. We started with the spinach dip, it is definitely home made, good taste, not the over creamy stuff that's probably frozen. Good cheesy taste and tortilla s are fresh. $6.50 Daughter ordered the 1/4 lb burger with normal toppings, comes with fries for $8.00 plus .50 cheese. We got order of 24 wings, 12 hot buffalo, breaded and 12 lemon pepper, also breaded. The burger is a sad sad excuse for $8. Horrible size it looks not much bigger than a flattened meatball. Wings are good, but came out barely warm and the $4 fry is just a frozen half basket of yuck. So not impressed. They've been open 2 weeks now and only 1 other table of customers at prime rating location. No signage on front of building and the building is WAY off street half hidden by Denny's. I haven't seen much advertisement on social media or in local papers. Good luck getting business . Exactly why previous restaurantt closed. No one knew it was here, but at least the food was better quality at old place.One more thing. Debit or credit card is a 3.5% upcharge.

    So I had the $8 burger + the .50 to add cheese talk about a big wast of $8.50 on a burger and…read morefires. But I will say this the burger had the good flavoring that you look for in the burger but the size of the burger being smaller than the bun! I will never order the burger here again unless they increase the size of the burger to match the price. And maybe give a cheese options of cheeses and maybe offer to season the fries. The spinach dip was good you could tell it was fresh homemade along with the chips just kinda wish the dip wasn't so greasy. The grease made it look unpleasant to look at. Not much of things from when this location was the draft has changed. There's no personality to make it stand out for what this place was with the past businesses that where here. And when I hear a place called City of Legends it makes me think of New Orleans kind of soul food/bar food but that's just my take on it.

    Very disappointed with the quality and management at this location. The food was poorly prepared…read more(soggy onion rings and missing toppings on the chicken sandwich). The real issue, however, was the service. The manager refused to correct the order properly, threw the missing toppings on the old sandwich, and explicitly stated I could not get new onion rings before walking away. Definitely won't be returning. I won't let my dog eat this food. They SUCK in service and food.

No line ; not busy due to the frigid cold and wind.We ordered 2 BBQ trays: 1 with okra and coleslaw and 1 with okra and fries. Beverages were unsweetened tea and an eggnog shake. We get our orders and proceed to the parking lot to eat our food. We both had our okra but I did not have the fries which were clearly on the ticket. Instead we both had a small cup of " coleslaw" Turns out it was only chopped cabbage. Additionally there were no utensils given to it. I decided to brave the wind and go to the walk up window to correct the problems. I showed the "manager " my ticket and explained that the order was wrong and that the slaw was just chopped cabbage. She went to speak to someone else, came back with 2 cups of corrected slaw and said I "would have to pay for the fries " ( they were already paid for and on the ticket) Morons are running the Forest City operation. 2nd time in a year that this place has been an abysmal experience. We won't be back. The okra was good. The sandwiches were subpar. And, you know about the rest.

The menu reflects the extra charges for dressing or sauces if you want it. The inside is the same as it was, nothing fancy inside. The waitresses all seemed helpful. We tried the chicken wings they were good. The baked spaghetti is almost $10 and you get a small plate and piece of garlic bread and a salad. I tried the ham & cheese sandwich. It was ok, .over all the food was better than we remembered from the last time we went. Ice tea was $3.00 a cup and they serve it in a Styrofoam cup. I think we might go back again and try something else or get some more wings. The blue cheese was good. Glad they are waiting on tables again.

The special comes with 2 pieces of boneless fried chicken breasts, 2 sides, and your choice of a roll or cornbread. However, if that is too much food and you don't want leftovers, you can ask for a 1 piece special as well, like I did tonight. I paired it with fried squash (with ranch), broccoli casserole, and a roll. The service is always great. They check on you and keep your beverage filled (for me that is a Jumbo unsweet tea). Sadly they are only open weekdays. But go check them out, they have different daily specials each day of the week.
