Just ate at The Pickle "Bistro" and Bar…read more It's not a bistro', it's a bar, with just bar food. Not what Yelp says. We ordered a hamburger with pickles and were told the don't have pickles. Not that they were out. They don't have them...... The Pickle doesn't have pickles for sandwiches. If you like to drink and play pool, this is the place for you. I gave it an extra star because some clientele might like it.

The Pickle Bar & Bistro is a cute little local spot that honestly reminds me of a classic dive…read morebar--in the best way! It's very laid-back and chill, definitely not a huge party or club-type atmosphere. The drinks are reasonably priced, and they usually have some pretty good specials, like $2 beers and $7 mixed drinks, which is hard to complain about! They have pool tables, plenty of seating both inside and outside, and even a bar outside, so there's plenty of space to hang out. I haven't tried the food yet, so I can't really speak on that, but I'd definitely come back for the drinks and atmosphere. My only complaint is that I swear every night is karaoke night , but honestly, that's part of the charm! Overall, it's a fun, relaxed little local bar if you're looking for somewhere to grab a drink, play some pool, and hang out without the craziness of a big nightlife spot.

Groovy Beast Is a Must-Try in Gastonia!…read more What a fantastic experience from start to finish! The moment we walked through the doors, we felt the relaxed, upbeat atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, enjoy yourself, and dig into some good food. We had a feeling this place was going to deliver, and it absolutely did! The service deserves a shout-out of its own. Our server was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything, while the rest of the staff greeted us with smiles and genuinely positive attitudes. You can tell when a restaurant has a good vibe throughout the entire team, and Groovy Beast definitely has it! The food? Straight-up delicious! My wife went with the Garlic Parmesan wings, which were seasoned perfectly and fried to a gorgeous golden crisp. I created my own UFO Double Burger with bacon, egg, and Swiss cheese, and that monster of a burger did NOT disappoint! It was massive, juicy, flavorful, and loaded with everything I wanted. In hindsight, I probably could've conquered a single instead of the double! The sides deserve some love, too. The fries were crispy and tasty, and the onion rings were spot-on--not overly thick or paper-thin, just the perfect balance of crunch and flavor. Groovy Beast has the complete package: great food, generous portions, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. It's the kind of place you discover and immediately start wondering why you didn't try it sooner. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! Gastonia has a real hidden gem here, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

If you're coming from a big city this place is going to feel like a steal. Two adults can enjoy a great dinner for under $50. All of their chicken plates and sandwiches are amazing. My wife loves their beet salad. I have to say though that I think this place just might offer the best BLT sandwich on the face of the earth. Service is great and everything is clean. I'm sad that we'll only be in the area for another few weeks. If I lived here all year round this would definitely be our date spot and go to "we're hungry" place to get lunch or dinner.

The worst fast food experience of my life... and I'm 55 years-old!…read more The dining room was FILTHY and none of the sinks worked in the bathrooms. There were tons of employees standing around doing nothing except trying their best to not make eye contact with you. The food was just awful - a half-cooked patty melt, fries that tasted three days old. There's just nothing to recommend about this place, other than it's open 24 hours a day... but I'd just as soon go to Waffle House if I'm hungry at 3AM.

Went here around 9:40 pm on Saturday, there were two drive thru lanes. The first one we were in,…read moretwo cars were in front of us; the car at the ordering board was just sitting there not ordering / saying anything for like 10 mins, so we decided to go into the other drive thru lane. Mind you, two other cars had ordered and moved to the window from the second lane before we moved over into it. Once we got into the second lane, nothing was said to us at all. Instead, now someone was taking the car sitting in the first lanes order and we sat in the second lane, in silence, for another 10 mins. We ultimately decided to just pull up to the window and tell them our orders and let them know that no one serviced us at all in the second lane. The employee claimed that she was saying "hello" the whole time as if we were ignoring her, but there was literally no sound come from the ordering board speaker at all! After we place our order at the pick up window, we were told to go park on the side of the building where we waited almost 30 mins! We went inside to check on our order status and learned that no one had fixed our order at all??? Once we did finally get our food, yes it was freshly made and hot, but I had no appetite for it at all anymore. Service was HORRIBLE! My overall rate of experience : 0/10

Mic's Mini Market is a great gem that you can find located outside of Ken's Superette in Gastonia,…read moreNC. The food is made to order so to become upset if your food takes more than 20 minutes. I ordered hot lemon pepper fish with baked beans and a side of fries. The fish was fresh out the fryer and served country style, which means on a piece of bread. The hot lemon pepper flavor could have been a little more spicier but the fish was still really good. The baked beans were also good. It tasted like chilli pepper was added to the beans. I couldn't really put my taste buds on it so I'm just going to say chili pepper. The french fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. They were not salty at all. There are other items I would like to try so I will definitely be making another stop at this food truck. Also, while you are at the superette, pick up the whole shabang and some boosie chips. #iykyk #foodtruck #gastoniaeats #clteats #friedfish #bakedbeans #blackowned #thewholeshabang #boosiechips #hotlemonpepper #supportlocal #micsminimarket #kenssuperette #localfinds #foodlover #gratuityadded #friedfood #goodeats #instafood #foodiesofinstagram #cltfoodie #foodtrucklife #yummy #foodgasm #foodtruckfriday #supportlocal #foodtrailer #freshtodeath #foodtruckfestival #madetoorder #foodiesofinstagram
