I've never been the biggest fan of seafood boils, they are often rather bland and are almost always…read moremessy! If you have enough butter and sauces you can add some flavor, but a lot of the blandness remains, for me anyway. I've had seafood boils on the beach at Cape Cod, Hyman's Seafood in Charleston, and Willie's Boil House in the French Quarter, among others. And I was blown away by none. In a discussion with a friend, he disagreed with my position and suggested I give some local spots a try, and be very generous with all types of accompanying sauces, especially spicy ones, and don't skip the butter! So I am planning to try a few spots heading into the new year, starting with this spot. I ordered the weekend special, shrimp, lobster tail, and small crab cluster. This comes with potatoes and corn. This was not at all a bad meal, the shrimp were very tasty. The lobster tail was a bit chewy though the flavor was nice. The crab cluster produced some nice bits of meat, but this was a very small cluster. The veggies were just ok, on the dull side. While not all bad, this was very expensive and I would not come close to ordering this again - in fact I don't see a return visit, period!

Had a positive experience on my first visit to Earl's. I loved the interior - I think I was…read moreexpecting it to be a lot darker and more "country," but the high ceilings, brick, sage green walls and bare trees strung with lights created a cool vibe. There were a lot of interesting sounding cocktails on the menu, but I wasn't feeling super adventurous so I just got a glass of Chardonnay. I also wasn't super hungry so I got the Big Ol' Pretzel with queso (other side choices were brown sugar or mustard) and a Caesar side salad. The pretzel was great. It was salty and had a great texture (and did not have that microwaved chewy texture that you get sometimes)! I do prefer beer cheese to queso but the pretzel was so good it wasn't a huge deal. The side salad was larger than expected. I didn't care for the dressing. It was not a traditional Caesar taste or texture - not creamy, more of a vinaigrette, and gave the salad greens a slimy texture. Our server seemed busy but was pleasant and checked on us and food was served in a timely manner.

Earls might've ruined all other chicken and waffles for me. This hot honey chicken sandwich between…read moretwo soft, moist waffles was honestly ridiculous in the best way possible. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, and that hot honey sauce had the perfect sweet heat. Then the pickles and ranch came through and balanced everything out perfectly. Every bite just worked. The sides definitely deserve their own shoutout too. The tots and fries were really good, but those onion rings? Whew. Crispy, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The vibe inside Earls was really nice too, relaxed, fun, and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and took really good care of us the whole time.

Recently went with friends on a Sunday morning to get brunch. We were seated quickly, with the…read moreoption of indoors our patio seating, and since it wasn't too hot, we decided to take the patio. The waitress brough menus and waters, quickly, and gave us time to look things over. One thing I'll say, is it's time for them to get some new menus, the writing is rubbing off and parts of the menu are completely illegible. I was excited to get their brisket hash that I'd gotten several times in the past, but looking over the menu they no longer serve that, or any other "brunch items", this was a pretty disappointing discovery. I ended up getting their Bacon Pimento burger, which was good, and filling, just not what I had my heart set on. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, but it wasn't exactly the brunch we were hoping for. I suppose we'll have to find a new brunch spot.

Great evening at Boots and Bourbon!…read more First off, huge shout out to Autumn behind the bar! She made the best smoked old fashioned just the way I like it, not sweet with a little punch. It was perfect. And smoking it in house adds that extra flavor to bring it over the top. Went with some wings and a spicy smashburger accompanied by their in house chips. Wings came out hot and fresh. Smashburger was great, juicy meat with depth of flavor. Only thing that would have made this burger even better would have been the crispy char edges of the smashed meat for that unique smashed taste. But even without it, this was a heck of a burger. And the fresh homemade chips were perfect with it. Super fun spot on either a slower day, or come when they have their live music, line dancing or any other fun event that they host regularly.

Camel City Barbecue Factory was WORTH the drive to Winston-Salem…read more If I think about wanting really good barbecue from now on, I honestly might just drive to Winston for it. Love splaying the games at the table, the staff was very kind and it was a fun chill vibe there. We did the 3-meat tray and tried the pulled pork, brisket, beans and mac & cheese, plus I ordered wings on the side. The pulled pork was succulent, juicy and flavorful. I personally like my barbecue extra saucy, so I added more sauce, and after that? Perfect. The brisket was SO good, and those beans were hitting too. The mac & cheese was decent--not necessarily the star of the plate, but listen...I ate every bit of it, so clearly I wasn't complaining. Now the WINGS?! I was skeptical about paying around $11 for six, but once they came out, I understood. Big, juicy, smoked wings with that crispy char on the outside, and they were HEAVY with the sauce. Exactly how I like them. Worth every dollar. I even ordered another half-pound of pulled pork to go. My test for whether I really liked a restaurant is simple: am I still thinking about the food the next day? I was. And I was already thinking about what I'd order when I came back. Definitely going into my barbecue rotation.
