The fact that our wonderful waitress went out of her way to correct a mere one-dollar error--without waiting for it to be discovered later--speaks volumes about her character. Even though she seemed pleasantly busy (or perhaps she's simply one of those delightful overachievers who takes genuine pride in her work), she still chose to do the right thing with a smile. It made me chuckle in the best way and turned an already lovely meal into something truly memorable. The food was perfect, the service was warm and thoughtful, and the entire experience left me feeling genuinely appreciated. Thank you, dear waitress, for your refreshing honesty and kind heart. I hope this note finds you and brings a smile to your day. Wishing you nothing but wonderful moments ahead--if you ever happen to read this. ambience was very awesome.

Waitress was nice, cheerful and attentive (thank goodness because after the hostess I was worried). Food came out quickly and was delicious.

I didn't have any problems with the service everyone was polite and welcoming. From the old pictures not much has changed inside, they painted over the walls so the Carolina Diner isn't there on the wall anymore. Food is really good in my opinion. I had a sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit with a side of bacon bc I wanted to try more of the things for a more comprehensive review, also had some home fries. As my friend had told me "we're in biscuit country" (I was thinking of bagels for breakfast) he was right.

As a vegetarian I am highly impressed by the different options and creative spins on the classic sandwich/wrap! Today my wait was a bit long but that first bite made the wait completely worth it. I'm not saying that lightly either, I truly mean it. Each sandwich is hand crafted with care, each recipe has been developed with perfection in mind, and each bite is full of amazing flavor.

There is local artwork displayed on the walls as you enter. You place your order directly at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought out to your table when it is ready. The menu is quite large, and it took a bit of time to decide on my order, but I ultimately went with a combo including a half ham wrap, a drink, and a side of pasta salad. The cashier was very good about openly telling everyone in line about price differences from the printed menu before ordering. Because the kitchen was experiencing a significant delay, it seemed like they quietly upgraded me to a whole wrap as a nice peace offering! It came cut into two parts, with one part wrapped neatly in foil. Personally, I really wish they offered a "build your own" option where you could just choose your own specific bread, meat, cheese, and toppings, rather than having to hunt through the large preset menu options to find a combination where you like everything. I was really surprised by how incredibly small the side portion of pasta salad was--about the size of a standard salad dressing container! I've honestly never seen a side dish served that small before, so I posted a photo of the two side by side to show the exact comparison. Next time, I would skip the combo entirely and just order the sandwich on its own. The ham wrap itself was really good, and the small bite of pasta salad was very tasty. However, it did take quite a bit longer than it should have for the food to leave the kitchen, so this slow wait time could definitely be an issue for someone on a tight lunch schedule.

I had enough left over for lunch the next day! Our server was really good, even though I know he was totally slammed.

A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]
