    Blueberry  / Peach Sonker
    Chuck T.

    Nothing outstanding. We had the Tig Ole Nachos and a Skiganator Burger. The nachos had way too much lettuce on top. So much, we thought it was a salad at first. The burger was pretty good. That's coming from someone who hasn't had Pimento cheese before. Finished the meal with a Blueberry Peach Sonker. Since it was my first Sonker, I guess it was good. The waitress was attentive and friendly.

    Great little place tucked away in downtown, Pilot Mountain. Our drinks came quickly as did the food. They were somewhat crowded at noon so going during off hours would probably be best if you're not a fan of too much "coziness". The Margherita Flatbread was amazing as was the Southwest my spouse ordered. The tenders we received as an appetizer were equally tasty. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us regularly. Great experience all around!

    Club with fruit

    Checked this place out for a quick Sunday lunch after visiting Pilot Mountain. Staff was polite but not very attentive. Food came out fast and was pretty delicious. Chicken fingers and chips were great. Club sandwich had a ton of meat, and the fresh fruit was really fresh. Hawaiian chicken sandwich good. If I am in town I would consider dining here again.

    We were in Pilot today around lunchtime and decided to get lunch at The Tilted Ladder. We've been here a couple of times in the past and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately there are very few good restaurants, in my opinion, in the area but this is one of the good ones. Our waitress, Heather, was super. She made good suggestions and followed up to ensure that we were happy with the food. The burgers are definitely the best around and I highly recommend them. The inside of the restaurant is interesting and there's 10 TV screens around the wall and at the bar area. Since they are closed captioned it's not annoying to the customers who are not interested in watching the screens. Although they were busy today service and food was great.

    Sirloin and hot honey chicken Alfredo a must!

    Everyone was friendly. Service was great. The best fried pickles and sweet potato fries! Never had hot honey chicken Alfredo....I would definitely order it again.

    My mom and I had plans for lunch but my work got in the way a little. So she rode along with me to Pilot Mountain to finish my work and then have lunch. Yelp lead us to The Tilted Ladder and I'm so happy we went! We were seated right away by a friendly server. Everything on the menu sounded delicious but the tilted chicken sounded just amazing so we both ordered versions of it. I got mine with hot honey and my mom got hers with gravy. It came on a bed of mashed potatoes that were so creamy and perfectly seasoned. We each got a side too. I got a salad and my mom some broccoli. I don't get up to Pilot Mountain much but I need to make another trip because just thinking about that chicken is making me want it again. The restaurant also has a full bar, a bunch of TV's and so many other menu items that anyone can find what they want there. The casual atmosphere makes it a fun and comfortable place to go have lunch or dinner.

    Sonker of love and peaches

    We came here in search of sonker, but wanted to try the regular menu offerings as well. I was not overly impressed with my entree, the tilted chicken and the kitchen forgot the onion straws which is kind of a key dimension of the dish. Otherwise, it was cold mashed potatoes with an average chicken breast and very nice white gravy. I was feeling pretty meh towards the experience until the sonker came out- and wow is it good. It's only the second sonker of the numerous on the surry sonker trail we have tried but so far, it's ranked number one by far. Definitely different from a cobbler.

    The staff is incredibly friendly. They have such a warm and inviting atmosphere, full of local pride. I decided to try their margherita flatbread, and although it had more of a pesto pizza vibe, it was still absolutely delicious. To start off our meal, we couldn't resist ordering three appetizers for just $14.99. We went with the onion petals, the chicken quesadilla, and the hot chips, and let me tell you, they were the highlight of the entire dining experience. The chicken quesadilla, in particular, was bursting with flavor and pure deliciousness. We also couldn't resist trying their boneless chicken, which had a perfect crispy exterior and a juicy interior. We opted to have the sauce on the side, and it was just as mouthwatering as the rest of the meal.

    Pretzel bites & spicy mustard

    Drove past and turned around! Lori our server had a great smile and laugh. Relaxing atmosphere. A rude couple wanted sirloin tips and the sever explained they were fresh out . They left but were just plain rude. Server remained upbeat. We ordered our food , a Grandma style pizza drizzled with a hot pepper type honey (so good )and enjoyed it immensely along pretzel bites earlier while enjoying our drinks. Thank you

    Driving home to pa from Carolina beach and we were all starving. My husband suggested this place. It's in a small town and I was definitely hesitant. The inside is kind of basic no frills. Booths and tables. TVs on the wall and bar in the back that has a female bartender with a shaved head and tattoos on her head. Ordered the three pick appetizer. The cheesesticks were phenomenal. Homemade chips good. And onion petals tiny but good. I got the cardinal burger. It was not cooked the way I wanted (overcooked) BUT it was still amazing. The chili was super hearty and homemade tasting. SALAD DINNER (Cesar and chicken) WERE AMAZING according to my spouse. Kids got Philly and grilled cheese. They liked it. Portions were good. Service was BOMB and super fast. Literally....we will make this a stop every time we are coming through this area!!!!! Did not disappoint. Oh and the homemade dressings (cilantro and the ranch) were soooooo good!

    BBQ chicken flatbread

    Very cute place with excellent food!! The menu is very expansive with everything from sandwiches, burgers and wings to steak, chicken and seafood. Our server Savannah was on top of it keeping our drinks full and checking on us often.

    We went on a soft open night and they had clearly stated when we called that the menu was limited…read moreduring soft open. We still had good choices - Firecracker Roll was great and definitely brought some heat. Cobb salad was solid. My wife had the salmon which I don't think was the same as listed on the menu it was prepared well but not her favorite. Server was really great -especially considering new open in process. Food was prepared and served promptly. Wish the atmosphere was a little more cozy for conversations etc. it was full of folks and ambient noise. Look forward to going back again with full menu options. Nice to have this place in King/Pilot area!

    We've been looking forward to trying this new restaurant since it opened. I've heard positive…read morefeedback from friends who've eaten the sushi there. We're not sushi fans but since they offer a wide variety of options it was worth a shot. The owners have done a great job renovating the facility. It's very attractive inside and appears to be a great place for date nights. I ordered the fried flounder with broccoli and a salad. My husband had a burger and baked potato. I don't generally order fried food and that wasn't a good choice here, in my opinion. It was just too greasy for my taste. The broccoli was seasoned very well but just way too salty for me. My husband said his meal was "okay". On the positive side, in addition to nice ambiance, our waitress was excellent and the food beautifully plated. You could tell that the chef took pride in the presentation of the food. I would consider returning but selecting a different menu option.
