    The decor wasn't real fancy. The food was delicious and the waitress was very pleasant. Prices were not too bad.

We settled in on the small outdoor patio on a very fine spring evening for a meal that hit the spot each point along the line. Well... Maybe except for their chairs. These chairs were not the kind you would usually sit outside to eat in, more built for reclining with a drink in hand. It was not comfortable to sit forward and eat my meal. But man, was that meal ever delicious. Chips came out with three types of salsa, and we ordered the guacamole provincial to go with them as well. The chips on their own were decent, but each salsa had a unique flavor and amount of heat that kept things interesting. The guacamole was chunky and full of flavor, with a good enough portion for the four of us. When the meal came, it was clear I had won dinner. I got the "Mezcali's Best" which honestly, I think it was their best effort. Grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, onions, peppers, and zucchini in a chipotle queso sauce. Man. THAT SAUCE. That sauce just simply made the whole thing incredible. To the point when I cleared my plate, my wife had me scrape the sauce onto what was left of hers. In addition, the refried beans had an excellent flavor, I am not usually big on the beans... but this one had me wanting more. Chips used to scoop up some beans, rice, and sauce... were so so good. I would definitely come back here, probably sit inside, and order the Mezcali's best (or anything I can get that chipotle queso sauce on) again.

The menu is huge and offers just about anything you can think of. Apps, tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, flautas, burritos, fajitas, platters, seafood, you name it. The margaritas are massive as well. They also offer a lunch menu with quite a few options at a lower price, which is always appreciated. Chips and salsa are complimentary, with three different salsas to choose from: mild, verde, and spicy. All three had great flavor. The chips themselves weren't quite as fresh as I'd like and didn't come out hot or warmed. My server saw how much I loved the salsas and kept refilling. She was awesome! For this weekday lunch, I went with the Burrito Vallarta with chicken. Rice, beans, avocado, and a tasty hot sauce inside, with sour cream, pico de gallo, and lettuce on the side. Everything tasted fresh and the burrito as a whole was juicy and flavorful. The chicken was shredded and just a bit tough. I personally prefer freshly grilled chunks or strips, but it was still good overall. All in all, this is a nice addition to the shopping center and a solid option for Mexican food in the area.

I had been craving a piece of fish and had been wanting to try this spot. Decided to kill two birds with one stone and ordered takeout on my way home. I ordered take out: Family size flounder Regular catfish basket with fries Sides of Mac and cheese, collards, fries A small order of hush puppies Kids shrimp meal Ordering was easy and curbside pickup *would* have been convenient, except I was only given half of my order and got all the way home before realizing. Fine - people make mistakes. I immediately called the restaurant when I noticed and was given the option to come back and pick up my order (that was actively getting colder) or order it again another day... Considering we were missing the family size flounder, I opted to go back and pickup the rest of my order. I had to go in (which I had been trying to avoid by utilizing curbside pickup) - ok, not the end of the world, but then I had to wait in line. I was given the rest of my order that had been sitting out for close to (if not more than) half an hour. The girl that was working the counter apologized and was very nice, but given no one offered to remake my food or throw in something for my troubles annoyed me. The food was cold - the batter became soggy, fries mushy, slaw warm, hush puppies mostly grease. Mac & cheese was "OK." Collards were not good. Fries, flounder, and catfish would have been good while piping hot but - ALAS - were just OK. Unimpressed and downright disappointed.

The steak was cooked perfectly, seasoned right, and you could immediately tell the quality of the cut was there. The potato cakes were honestly the perfect pairing. Crispy, rich, and executed extremely well. Me and my folks ordered the Wagyu meatballs and shrimp as an appetizers and those were outstanding too. Tender, flavorful, and balanced without feeling overly heavy. But the real differentiator here was the service. That's what elevated this from simply being a great dinner to being a genuinely high-end experience worth every dollar spent. Our server was absolutely impeccable. Informative, knowledgeable, and clearly understood both the menu and the overall dining experience. He knew where the food came from, what paired best together, and guided the experience without ever feeling pushy or scripted. That level of professionalism matters, especially when you're dropping serious money on dinner, and because of that, not once did I look at the bill and feel irritated about spending nearly $200. Atmosphere was upscale and refined without being stiff or pretentious. Just a really well-balanced environment overall. Bottom line: well done on all levels. Food, service, atmosphere, execution... all of it. Definitely earned a return visit from me.

    We finally had a chance to try Fishbones on Walker Avenue. We were looking for something casual and…read moreinviting and what we found was a rustic, engaging vibe at Fishbones. We started out with cocktails. I had a Hendricks dry martini straight up (it was delicious) and my wife had a Don't Call Me Sweetie which is mix of Hendrick's Gin, Lemon, Cucumber, Basil, Simple, Saline 15. It is very citrus heavy, so be advised. She had them cut it with a bit of cranberry to offset the citrus. For main courses, my wife had the grilled salmon and she chose sautéed garlic spinach and wasabi slaw as her sides. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my side was blackened green beans. Let's talk main course first. My wife's salmon was terrific. Flaky and moist and very tasty. My shrimp and grits was unique because it was a real balance between large pieces of shrimp and the grits. Many times you'll order this dish and end up with a pile of grits with some shrimp sprinkled on top. This version is very tasty and a really nice balance of flavors. The Cajun seasonings have it some kick, but it did not overpower. The side dishes are where we had a couple of surprises. First off the sautéed spinach was really delicious, but my wife's wasabi slaw was bland. It's a huge shocker because when you see the word wasabi, you expected to have some Asian kick to it. This did not. It was hard to even identify that it had wasabi in it. That was a disappointment. The surprise was the blackened green beans. They actually were one of the stars of the show. Their flavor and texture was just awesome. We could've ordered a huge bowl of it and eaten all of it. While it didn't need it, there was a dipping aïoli on the side, just in case we wanted to add that to the green bean experience. As I mentioned off the start, Fishbones is a very casual experience. It's very pub-like in that way. We really loved it and the wait staff, which is a team approach as anyone who passes you makes sure you're doing OK, were kind, upbeat and helpful. Even with the bland slaw, we can't lower our rating because overall the experience was terrific. We will definitely come back.

Husband and I popped in for a week night dinner after doing some holiday shopping. It's a small, but very cute place. Can sit at the bar or at one of the high top tables. I enjoy sitting by the fish tank they have toward the back. I love their peel and eat shrimp, so we decided to get a pound as an appetizer. These shrimp are the big guys and I highly recommend asking for the Old Bay seasoning on them. I tried to limit my use of the melted butter (of course yum) which wasnt too hard as their cocktail sauce is pretty darn good. The balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy in their preparation is spot on. For entrees we went with two of their most popular dishes. Hubby ordered the farm-raised catfish. This dish comes with certain sides but you can customize, he got the slaw and blackened green beans. I got the blackened ahh tuna medium rare which comes with your choice of two sides. I went for corn and the blackened green beans. My tuna was perfectly prepared and hit the spot. I received two big half pieces of golden yellow corn. It had nice subtle sweetness. Their blackened green beans are a must try. Perfectly seasoned. The creamy dipping sauce is also delish but tried to limit use. This was a lot of food and very healthy. I left plenty full with no guilt. Everything was superb. The service was also very attentive. No issue getting a table on a weeknight. There is something for everyone on the menu. I've never been able to convince myself to get anything but seafood as their specialty, but they do have options for meat-lovers and even some vegetarian and vegan options available. I bet they are good too. Be sure to look at their Facebook page and website to see their weekly Specials. After you give Fishbones a try you, like me, are going to think you should come more often each time you do!

    Hidden flavor alert in Greensboro!…read more I'll be honest--I passed on Aunt E's for a while because I hadn't seen many people talking about it. The one person I did see post wasn't even an influencer, just someone I trusted... and I'm glad I finally listened. Because whew ‍ the flavor here is REAL. Everything we had was seasoned well, cooked with care, and tasted like someone who actually loves feeding people was in the kitchen. Nothing felt rushed or generic. It's the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention, not shortcuts. If you've been sleeping on Aunt E's like I was, consider this your sign. Greensboro, y'all were lowkey hiding this one. Even tho we didn't eat in the ambiance and vibe was still friendly! A bit pricey! We'll definitely be back. -- Toni

They were DELICIOUS! I would return just for these, honestly. This was the highlight of the whole experience. My entree came at 1:52pm and my friend's food came a minute later. The chicken was just okay. It wasn't crispy as I expected it to me and lacked flavor. The cabbage and mashed potatoes were fine. The appetizer was wonderful but the entree and drink was more disappointing than anything. I would return to try something else. The seating did seem cluttered and close as well.
