    Sandwich Menu
    Donnell W.

    Taste-T is a staple of Shelby, NC. It's southern home style food that's sure to soothe all cravings. Though I've eaten from Taste-T on multiple occasions, I recently stopped by on a Friday to grab myself and my sister a bite to eat. We both ordered chicken tender baskets with fries. My sister had her tenders dipped in buffalo sauce with a side of ranch. I personally believe Taste-T has the best homemade honey mustard sauce, so I stuck with the plain tenders to go with the sauce. I have tried the fish sandwich and Hot Dogs from Taste-T over the years. I've had the fish sandwich most recently and will honestly recommend it. You cannot go bad with it. Unfortunately, I don't eat beef or pork anymore so I'm not sure how their hotdogs taste these days. But they were good back in the day. If you're ever passing through Shelby, stopping at Taste-T is a MUST! You'll totally enjoy it!

    Chicken Tenders plate with honey mustard

    Tried this establishment out for lunch. They were busy but the staff was patient with me ordering for the first time here. I went up to the window to order. I got their chicken tenders and fries and famous honey mustard. Honey mustard was on point, the chicken was good but maybe the oil made it dark on some parts? Fries were good too.

    Last time we were there, a roach climbed out of our bag and up my arm. Obviously we won't be returning.

    I always get the chicken strip plate when I come! It's great every time. My parents also enjoy eating here. It's a family favorite.

    Shelby, NC. Where do I begin. I've been traveling through this town for many years as it was always…read morea travel connector to both sets of grandparents who lived in Forest City as I was growing up. Never ever considered stopping for food here because getting through the city on 74 is tough enough as time seems to stand still here because no one, and I mean no one is moving quickly here. As the current situation is Shelby is now the half way point from my our home to where my daughter and grandson moved 1 1/2 hours away. Tuesday night we made the trek to pick up the grand for a sleep over, meeting half way at The Creekside Clock for dinner. In the entry way there is a sign stating that food is made to order so please be patient. OK. We got plenty of patience. Walk up to the counter and place your order, HUH??? Can I take a look at a menu? Sure, put on your glasses and read from the menu board. Sorry! I wasn't prepared for that. Menu looks great. There is a lot of variety and daily specials. We placed 3 separate orders, probably the first mistake as we were all sitting together, just not paying together. I am not a fan of paying before you get your food. Tip? What am I tipping? We sit with our little numbers on sticks at our table and a waitress comes to review our tickets and bring our drinks. So far so good. Ok now we wait. I can see the kitchen window and there are 6 heads in view and they appear to be super busy prepping and getting out the food. Apparently that wasn't the case. First order arrives, baked potato and chicken sandwich looks yum! A side salad was also delivered. A good bit later my meatloaf and fiancé's combination seafood plate and the grands shrimp. All looks good, alas, there is nothing on my plate that is even warm. I Asked if they had a microwave they could reheat my plate, it was that cold. Found out also that the chick sandwich and potato that was delivered first was not warm either. Still waiting on a steak and steak tips at this point everyone else was pretty much done with their food. The steak was good, again the potato cold. I am really shocked by all of the good Google reviews for this place. Although the menu looks nice. For them to boast that food is made to order, and not even serve the food warm along with the horrible execution, this was a one and done for us!

    I have been to this restaurant quite a few time's and I loved their menu and prices!"read more

He greeted us and grabbed a couple of menus with his unsanitary hands. When we were seated we flipped through the menu with napkins provided. The waitress attending to us was very nice and tentative. As we were eating I was the one to face the male host with the long hair. There weren't any guest coming into AB's and during that time he fussed with his hair. This host ran his fingers through his hair, splitting the ends and scratching the part in the middle of his hair. The manager past and asked how our meal was. We said, fine. The manager then went to speak with host. Lo and behold he continued to scratch, split and run his fingers through his hair. He did this 75% of my meal time. You would think that the manger would address a possible health issue but she did not. I am from Las Vegas/Hospitality and have experienced many levels of dining. This is host 101 duties and responsibility. Shame on me for not checking Yelp for the 1.5 rating. I will not be returning because I will have this image on my mind for a long time.

We had to wait for a little while before the host ever came to seat us but our waitress immediately came and got our drinks. I ordered my favorite, the 4 Cheese Mac n Cheese with honey pepper chicken and my husband got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Food came out pretty fast but my pasta was cold and the bacon was burnt. I was hungry and it wasn't terrible, so I ate it. My husband said his chicken sandwich was ok but it was definitely not worth the price they charge. We probably won't be back just because the food really isn't worth the price.
