Great breakfast and good local spot for lunch and dinner. Even better service and they have an ice cream stand on premises!

Service left me a bit disappointed but the food served was delicious. Great portions for price. I had the fish which was delicious. My parents had the burger and both were cooked properly and had great flavor. Hopefully service is better next time. read more

This was an unpleasant meal experience, meat was hard to chew. The veggies were cold and service was not good. There are a lot of people working but no good costumer service. When I addressed the food issue to the waitress she didn't say much and did not come back. I waited for my check for probably twenty minutes and decided to just go up to the host to pay for our meal. I really don't think we will come back and I strongly recommend that you spend your money elsewhere. We were very disappointed with service and food quality. read more

Great good and great family atmosphere! Entire menu is good but I like the fried flounder best!

Whether you're looking for a delicious meal, a relaxing night out with live tunes, or just a sweet treat, this local treasure is the place to be. Highly recommended! read more

Had lunch at the bridge w/ friends, my wife and I are visiting from south Florida. I liked the place from the beginning w/ the pledge of allegiance posted in the entryway. Out waitress Mallory was friendly, courteous and efficient, The food was delicious. We will be back! read more

First visit and we will definitely be back! What a cute cozy establishment! We ordered the pecan crusted chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans, and beets and we thought everything was great! Very friendly staff and our server was great! Desserts looked great but we were stuffed from dinner. Great value for the price! We will be back! read more

I got fired for calling in sick the Kevin, one of the owners his brothers Austin and CJ both put their hands on me and nothing was done I don't recommend working here the food was decent however. read more

The staff was rude and the service (we didn't wait to see how that played out) was terrible. Had multiple staff look at and then ignore us. Waited for 29 minutes with them giving no thought to helping or serving us. Not no much as a, be with you in a minute. Absolutely the worse service I have experienced in 30 years. Can not review the food, because we were never offered the chance to have any. read more

Didn't like the food. I thought it wasn't what I had expected. Loved the ice cream next door!

Excellent service, good food, family atmosphere Highly recommend the entire experience

I have been here once during the week with a friend and had a very nice meal. My husband has been wanting to try this restaurant, so I told him we should go, because it was good when I went. Well, big mistake. I ordered the same thing and it was over cooked and didn't have near the toppings on my burger that I had when I went during the week. Half of my husband's hashbrowns were cold! I mentioned it to them when we were paying, and they told me the grill isn't open on the weekends, so my burger was cooked previously and reheated! I then talked to the manager and told her someone should have told us this when I ordered, but all they could say was sorry. No discount or compensation for my warmed up burger and that was very plain and dry. Don't eat here on the weekends. The service wasn't even good either this visit. read more

Popped in for a take out order. The staff were very friendly despite what looked like a full dining room. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this trip. I will be back. read more

Great food and great portions! I ate here for breakfast and can't wait to try their lunch!

Months have passed since my first visit so decided to stop in for breakfast on a Friday. No wait. Plenty of open tables. Light crowd. The decor is still warm and cozy. Reminiscent of a log cabin. I did wait a bit for my order to be taken and it did take awhile to be served. Most likely due to the staff congregating behind that counter and chatting. Not once offered a refill and had to flag the waitress a few times for additional things I needed. As for what I had this time around- the eggs still tasted fresh. Bacon again was not crisp enough and somewhat bland. Potatoes were ok. Pancake was tasteless and gritty. Still no rich buttermilk taste or fluff. Steak is now on menu so I ordered it. It was pretty sad. Not sure of the cut but it was very tough and oddly seasoned. I took about two bites and decided I was not a fan. Overall, my breakfast this time was disappointing. Service could use improvement. With the right cooks and cooking methods this place truly has potential. Such a great location and space that I really hope the food does get taken up quite a few notches. read more

Funny atmosphere and good food. Looking forward to our next visit. Update: our first visit was for breakfast. Today we went for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Had prime rib that was cooked to perfection, only regret is we didn't leave room for dessert. read more

I don't know how this place has such good reviews . Went once and it was terrible and then I figured hey maybe it was an off day . If so many people are there all the time it has to be better than that . The second time was just as bad . Everything we ordered was so gross . Such a shame because the vibe is super cute read more

Great breakfast, and on Friday and Saturday they have seafood nights. Best flounder I ever had. Fact of business, everything they have is great! read more

Let me preface this by saying, "We will go back." I am giving it a 3-star rating for a few reasons, but there were some 5-star qualities. The atmosphere was wonderful. The gravy, biscuits, bacon, eggs, grits, and fruit were delicious. The pricing was on point. The serving proportions were generous. Lisa C. was our server, and she was extremely nice. The lower rating is due to the following: 1) the coffee was extremely weak and watered down. 2) the pancakes were too heavy and room temperature. My mom ate 3 small bites of two of the pancakes and threw them to the side. No one even asked why she did not finish them or eat much of them. The syrup was cold, making the pancakes even colder. 3) to a minor point, there was eggshell in my food. Mistakes like this can happen, which is not a big deal. Nevertheless, with a 3-star rating, Lisa as our server, good atmosphere, and the gravy was some of the best, we will be happy to return soon. Hopefully, we can give a better rating then. I live in Los Angeles, so my family will be returning sooner than I. read more

We love The Bridge! It's your stand little southern restaurant and it's great. Nothing fancy, but the service is always good, the food is always good, and their ranch dressing is great (that's the important part)! Their pimiento cheeseburger is amazing and I get that almost every time. It's a LOT of food and it's sure to leave you satisfied! read more

Everything is good. We went for dinner and I had the pecan honey chicken - so yummy!!!! My husband loves the burgers I think he's tried about 3 different ones by now and loved them all. Please leave some room for dessert lol totally worth it, the cheesecake is good and fresh and the ice cream is great too, our favorite is the hot fudge cake, but it must be shared in my opinion! Lol. read more

This place is a must go to!! We just moved here and my kiddos wanted to get ice cream and we saw the playground outside and it looked like such a warm/welcoming place. We weren't disappointed! The staff was amazing and the family owned feel made us feel like we were in our own backyard. Can't wait to try the restaurant! read more

Went here today to get some studying done with the husband and grab a bite. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it literally was 3/4 bun and 1/4 bbq. 5 dollars for just the sandwich and they gave me hardly any meat. The bun was soggy as well. I think I'll stick to ice cream at this place. The hot dog my husband got was subpar to say the least. I informed the staff and she did offfer another sandwich but I wasn't interested. You can tell the bbq is microwaved and it just isn't good. They do have a nice seating area though. My kids like the ice cream so guess we will stick to this place for that and that only. My husband got the brownie sundae and he didn't think much of it. read more

The Bridge is a traditional diner-style spot in Hemby Bridge. You don't come to a place like this looking for Michelin starred meals; you come for simple, hearty food. On our visit, The Bridge delivered. I have to address the parking situation that's been mentioned in several reviews before mine -- but I didn't see the issue. There's an expansive gravel lot behind the place. You really can't miss it, so I'm not sure where many people seem to be having trouble. Our party of three was greeted and shown to our seats immediately when we arrived near 1pm on a Saturday. Our server, Terri, let us know that she was new to The Bridge and was still getting used to her touchscreen ordering system. It only seemed to take her a moment, and she was funny and pleasant in her delivery. Our meals came out quickly. I ordered The Big K, which is a sandwich with thick cut fried bologna topped with chili and onions. I asked for gluten free bread, which I was so pleased to see on the menu. I wouldn't expect little places like this to go out of their way to make GF accommodations -- most diners and small town spots don't -- and it was nice to order something directly off the menu instead of cobbling together a vegetable plate. Even better: there's not an additional charge for GF bread and buns. Their website says, "why should you have to pay for having an allergy you can't help?" Preach! My sandwich was excellent. I know bologna has a poor reputation, but it was delightful and I'm not too pretentious to order processed meat. The addition of chili and onions put it over the top. I would order this again in a heartbeat. I had slaw on the side, which was served in a very fine dice. The flavors were well balanced and it didn't leave a puddle on my plate. We did not stay for dessert, as we were planning to go to Snoball Cabin next door, but I hear the homemade desserts at The Bridge are great. Once our check came, we were directed to pay at the cashier by the door. The three of us left with full bellies. The only thing I feel The Bridge is missing is an all-day breakfast menu. The Charlotte region needs more places to get bacon and eggs at 2pm, and I'm confident this spot would be killer with that option. read more

The Bridge - The Big K (thick cut fried bologna, chili, onions, and yellow mustard) on gluten free bread. - American Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

I came to the bridge a few weeks ago for the first and ordered the sirloin...the service was rough that night but the food was absolutely delicious so I figured I needed to give it another try and bring my husband. So we came in tonight and EVERYTHING was on point! Both of our steaks cooked to perfection medium rare (very rare for us to go to a place and have them consistently cook the steak to exact perfection) waitress was amazing and attentive as she was the time before! You cannot beat this quality for the price....I will come here for a steak again before I go back to longhornn hands down! read more

Decided to do lunch at the ice cream spot today. First time and wouldn't think of driving on the other side of Indian trail for this. Hotdog was nothing special ice cream was ok but not worth $20. Outside space was nice and kids had cute toys to play with. read more

We have been here a few times. The restaurant is pretty good. Not a ton of options but the food was good. I absolutely love the ice cream at the creamery, there and so many options, milk shakes, sundaes, dippin dots... There are outside tables, an area for kids to play. Great family environment. The problem I have come across is the service. The first time going we didn't realize we had gotten there at 9, when they close. We were standing at the window looking at the menu and someone came up and put up the closed sign while we were standing right there, not giving us the chance to order something quickly. This last time we went at 8:45, ready to order right away. The girl working was very obviously not happy for us to be there. She was very short with us, slamming things closed, very unfriendly. Maybe they need to close earlier if they don't want service later. read more

Very frustrated with this experience. I waited to go to The Bridge because of the bad reviews on how slow service was. Today I have it a shot and here's my feedback: The staff all were very friendly. We were greeted with smiling faces and quickly taken to our seats. It's a beautiful little restaurant, nicely remodeled with awesome outdoor seating at the intersection of a one light town. A few minutes after we were seated our waitress came and asked for our order. I started off with our drink order, as I write this I now think she didn't recognize we didn't have drinks. She took our order and off she went. She brought our drinks back in a timely manner, but only half. Several minutes later I finally saw her again to ask for our drinks. It seemed to be able 15 minutes later before our food came. I'm not overly upset about the delay but what is aggravates me is when the food was dropped off I heard one waitress say "let me get you syrup." We waited about five minutes before I had to get up to go to the waitress station to ask for syrup and a few other things. The food was actually really good. The country ham was a little small and the edges were over cooked but the rest of our meal was great. They have the best sawmill/ sausage gravy I've ever eaten! I don't say that lightly. By the way, the drinks we had to follow up with as I mentioned earlier were now empty and no one to refill them. During our visit the first third of the time we were there went off without a hitch. A couple of the staff members stopped by to make sure we "placed" our order but our waitress left us high and dry. I never got a receipt and had to chase that down, I had some food I was taking to go and had to walk out with it in my hands with no container. I'll probably give this place one more shot because I think we just got a dud...we shall see. read more

This restaurant is out of my way but if I'm in the area I try to stop in for breakfast. Gravel parking lot offers lots of parking and provides easy in and out access if you're in a hurry. The decor to this place, both inside and outside is so cute! It reminds one of old fashion mountain cabin. Inside It is cozy environment and the staff is always kind and friendly. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've only eaten here for breakfast. Food is good. This visit I had french toast with the crispiest bacon ever. Crispy bacon at my request, made to perfection! Ive never had to wait long for my food and they always get my order correct. They have old time soda fridge, although it houses regular soda bottles. What makes this place special in my opinion is the kindness of the employees and patrons. Definitely has the small town feel. Lots of daily/regular customers who are very friendly and will strike up a conversation with you and make you feel welcomed. The waitresses use iPads to enter their orders in to the kitchen and this provides a very efficient system for paying your bill too.!! read more

The food is excellent and the service is wonderful. One of my favorite restaurants in NC.

I never knew this restaurant existed until Ginny suggested that we meet there for lunch. Hemby Bridge is a part of town that is unfamiliar to me. This restaurant was easy to find as it was only a few miles off of 485. It was a big stop in the road with an imposing brown cabin like structure. The ambiance was alluring well before I even stepped foot inside the restaurant. For lunch, I had the chicken tenders, tossed salad, and fried squash. I didn't expect the chicken tenders to be fried, but they were. With so much fried food and a roll, I asked for honey. That made it even that much better comfort food! The fried squash was a show stopper. Yummy! I must add that the iced tea was fresh and very good. It had a Cracker Barrel feel to it, but with much better food. Lots of good comfort food options! The prices were extremely reasonable. Very fun experience and Two thumbs up! read more

Great place to eat wonderful staff. If you want fridays chicken thats so good you'll probably need to get there early its always out. There shrimp in my favorite but i think they stopped serving that, at least for lunch. The only thing i dont like is the salisbury steak its the worst. Lol but everything else pretty good and a nice value read more

I love this place! The fact that they offer multiple gluten-free options including buns for hamburgers and bread for sandwiches is a huge plus! I have celiac and most restaurants do not carry any gluten-free bread. I have to also say the burger was one of the best I've ever had. It was perfect. The inside is quaint and charming, the staff was very friendly and prompt. I would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Hospital stays caused me to miss the first Saturday in June this fourth year (now 3rd Saturday). Everything about The Bridge is genuine; the food, servers, management and the diners. Honest, unpretentious, nourishing--simply a nice place to be, no matter what your appetite. 5 stars. read more

I moved from NY a few weeks ago and this is my go to place for lunch and breakfast. The service is something you can't find anywhere else and their food is always hot and tasty. I love their chicken salad and breakfast and especially their crispy fries!! read more

Had the bologna sandwich with Chile , onions and mustard. Great old fashion sandwich with a Grape Nehi. If you never tried both then you are missing it. Will come back again read more

If you are a bit of an explorer, and like to find one of a kind, out of the way places to eat, you will like The Bridge. Plenty of parking, along with a drive thru pick up lane for orders thru their app! The front of the place looks oddly eclectic,- something between a hot dog stand and a kiddie playground. Step inside and you're in for a treat. Small, warm, and very family friendly atmosphere. And the menu will surprise you. I got one of the Saturday Nite Specials- Prime Rib, and it was excellent. We also got an appetizer for the table,- Spicey Chicken Egg Rolls that came with a dipping sauce that had hints of horseradish and Buffalo Wing Sauce,- and they were EXCELLENT! Everything was great, - and reasonably priced. The menu and specials vary daily. No alcohol is served, but that was fine. The deserts there are a house specialty, and were also excellent. I had the cheesecake and strawberries. If you are looking for a very good meal, and without the chain restaurant experience, check out The Bridge. You'll like it. I promise! read more
