I was in town and had a taste for some shrimp. A family member said they normally go here for wings and it's pretty good so we looked at the menu I saw the fried shrimp and called in my order. When we went to pick up the food the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They did have a bar area as well as indoor seating. I can tell this place probably gets a crowd on the weekends. I ordered the fried shrimp with the sweet potato casserole and mac & cheese as well as the seafood combo with mac & cheese and green beans. The food was GREAT. Well seasoned. Everything was good. I will definitely add this spot on my list to come back and try next time I'm here. read more

My wife and I really enjoyed our lunch at University Kitchen. There was no wait and parking was easy. The staff was helpful and friendly. I ordered the shrimp, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. My wife ordered her favorite meal there the meat loaf with fried squash, and home fries. We look forward to our next meal there read more

We came to visit here on a Saturday evening. The place is very modestly decorated with nothing that really stands out good or bad. We had a party of 6 so not a super small party but also not massive. We were seated immediately and our drink orders were taken quickly. Unfortunately after that, things slowed down. Once we finally ordered multiple people at the table had salads, however only half were brought and the waitress quickly walked away before we could ask about my salad. She then did not reappear for over 5 minutes and we told her and after a few more minutes my salad came. After a pretty long wait after that, probably close to 40 minutes after ordering the food came. Well, most of the food came. Two people at our table were missing side orders. We again waited on the waitress to return and once notified things were finally brought out. The food that we got was all pretty good but the repeated forgotten items and rarely being checked on made this a less than stellar experience. All in all the food was good and I might give them another shot, but if I got poor service again I would probably opt to not return. read more

University Kitchen - Honey BBQ Chicken Tenders, Potato Wedges, Garlic Breadsticks - Pizza Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Home style diner offering southern favorites, pizza and subs, salads, and more. I've been dining here for years since moving to the area. I enjoy dining at University Kitchen when I have an appetite for typical diner food. Great atmosphere for groups and families. This visit I ordered meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread. $13.99 Decent value for a full plate of food. I choose gravy for my meatloaf. The meatloaf was okay, too much breaded in my opinion. This gave the meatloaf a gummy texture and I couldn't enjoy the flavor of the ground beef. The mashed potatoes were good. I like when my mashed potatoes have a little bite and texture, these didn't disappoint. Green beans were seasoned and okay. The cornbread was really, really good! It was sweet but not too sweet, firm and fluffy. I enjoyed it! The service is what you would expect at a southern diner, very accommodating and friendly. I would recommend University Kitchen if you are looking for a quick home style meal. read more

Doordashed a couple dogs for lunch. It was reasonably priced and satisfied my craving. I did realize, after gobbling down the dogs, that I didn't even put the slaw on them (clearly served on the side) -- probably why I kept thinking something was missing but was too preoccupied by eating to notice until after the fact. Not my favorite, but will order again (and not forget to add the slaw!) when the craving arises! read more

tried new one on Samet drive for Sunday lunch. it is one and done. food good, atmosphere good, service good. Hiwever the salad was nothing but cucumbers and lettuce and one or two croutons NO TOMATO and just a few spreads of cheese dressing serving size was about half what you really needed and had to ask for Parmesan cheese. that is something that should automatically be brought to the table when you order spaghetti.. They also charge a 3.25% up-charge for credit card use. read more

Food was nice. Service was amazing. Madi was excellent server very kind and gentle. We enjoyed there. Will come back. The best thing is they are pet friendly and that is big plus plus plus read more

You know when you're really hungry and you get some food and it smells good and you do your food dance but then you bite into it and it isn't good the Mac n cheese was nasty, the apples were completely mushy and not good either. The mashed potato & gravy ok... The sweet potato casserole was pretty good, and the massive garlic bread stick was great. The service was good, super nice customer service, got it quick but I definitely was disappointed with the meal. read more

This is a review for the diner. Let's start with why in the hell can you not buy ONE hot dog? The fries are great at the kitchen and nasty at the diner. The menus are not consistent. Yes, you can get breakfast which is a plus but not past 2:00. In conclusion, I love the kitchen and hate the diner. My two cents. read more

I called in my order. It was ready in a timely manner. Once I arrived, it was crowded. I didn't have to wait too long. I ordered fried flounder fried okra and mac & cheese. And cornbread. Flounder tasted pretty good. A little salty fried, okra tasted good the mac & cheese however. The noodles were soggy and cold. They were congealed. Mac & cheese was inedible. I probably will patronize it again. Minus the mac & cheese. read more

University Kitchen comes highly recommended from locals in the High Point area. One night my husband and I decided to try it out and overall we will be back to try more. This spot has a pretty good menu from subs and sandwiches to full on main course meals with great sides to choose from and a piece of garlic bread to top it off. My husband ordered takeout and got their wings which happened to be a very nice size and he loved the flavor. I got the meatloaf with brown gravy which happened to be a bit disappointing. You get to choose between tomato sauce or brown gravy, even though I chose brown gravy mine came with tomato sauce baked on top and brown gravy poured over that. As you can imagine it wasn't an appealing combination. We also ordered a grilled pork chop meal to try which came with two very good portions of grilled chops and were tender and juicy! These meals all came with choice of two sides and all of them were great from the pinto beans, sautéed spinach, mashed potatoes, and collard greens! Each meal also came with a side of bread and we both opted for garlic bread which was also great! Overall, I'd give this place 4/5 stars and would be back to try more and also go inside to get the dine-in experience! read more

Hands down the BEST pizza and chicken I've had in years! The fish and shrimp were absolutely amazing as well. Very clean and pleasant environment and the waitress (daughter of another waitress there) she made it all come together. Very friendly, efficient, and she deserves a raise and the biggest tips!! We will be back asap!! Thank you!! read more

This is diner food with Southern comfort service. Family friendly, with an added little bar and select drink menu, which I feel is uncommon to find in these kinds of establishments. I want to say our server's name was Kristen, apologies if I'm wrong, but she was ever so attentive and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Other employees were also friendly and manager/owner checked in us. Lots of regulars it seems. Chicken livers were a bit over done to my liking, collards don't appear to be grandma's homemade style, more like the Old Glory canned I buy (but I buy them right?). Wish they had chow chow for the pintos. Maybe a few tweaks here and there like a bit more sauce on spaghetti, but again, you know what you're getting. Serving sizes were plentiful & overall satisfied, especially with the service; this is a good joint to hit if you're wanting some comfort food. read more

I've past this place a thousand times and didn't know it was there. While getting my bike tuned at Bicycle Toy and Hobby I was waiting in my car and saw people walking into this place. I looked them up on yelp and decided to give them a try. I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese with cornbread. Hands-down, the best meatloaf I've ever had. Cornbread and mac & cheese was delicious. Mashed potatoes were just OK. Portions were huge so you can make two meals out of it. Prices were very reasonable at around $11 bucks!! I will definitely be back to try other dishes. Apparently this place is a hidden gem. read more

University Kitchen - Meatloaf with tomato glaze, mashed potatoes with gravy, mac & cheese, and cornbread!! Delicious - Pizza Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Food was wondering big helpings very reasonable priced just moved here and found our new spot

I have fairly often eaten here and have had favorable results except for water logged salads. It seems that issue has been solved. I was very disappointed on October 4, 2024 when my chicken livers were over cooked, crispy when i asked for medium cooked. I've had them before when done almost perfectly. My fresh broccoli was under done even though waitress had told them they needed more time and didn't come with my livers. I went ahead and ate the food than wasting it by rejection and waiting longer for my food.. ... It should have been done better to start with. The manager or owner at check out, offered nothing for poor quality food, simply saying i should have sent it back... I think in interest of good customer service and relationships he should have deducted something from my bill or given credit in form of a gift card. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth so to speak and my mind.... I hope they do better with quality of cooked food and make an adjustment if things aren't right!! read more

I like the food here because it's home cooking. My husband and I always get the grilled Pork Chops, mashed potatoes with gravy, Collards and Cornbread. I no longer cook, so it's nice to find this close to home. read more

Ordered Hamburger Steak with veggies, seafood combo and Parmesan Crusted Chicken for our family. Seafood was good but they missed sending tartar and cocktail. It would've been better had they came with the order. Hamburger steak was seasoned well. Solid 4 out of 5. read more

This review was based on the pizza and wings that I had for lunch with tea for $8.99. The wings were some of the best that I've ever had and the pizza though not the best I've ever had was very good. Wife had the meatloaf and said that it was alright. Probably 3 stars. She said the mashed potatoes were really good. I'd definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

I like going here when I want a good veggie plate. Pinto beans, cabbage , collards , etc. The chicken Monterey is tasty. My husband likes the cornbread. Down home cooking at a reasonable price. Interior needs a bit of updating but I overlook that for good service. read more

I held a grudge against this location for the longest after they got rid of Libby Hill. All that went away when I decided to give them a try for lunch. I've probably been back at least 5 times since these photos lol. Prices during lunch is very reasonable. The food is AMAZING! I can't get enough of the Buffalo chicken wrap. Before you decide to stop by Wendy's or McDonald's for a quick lunch give this place a try. Just call it in and go pick it up within 10 minutes! read more

Good food, great price, and great service! I will definitely be back again! The pizza was some of the best I've had.

We have ordered from here several times and the food is consistently good each time. The grilled pork chops are juicy and tender. The garlic bread tastes fresh baked and the steamed spinach is perfect. My husband gets something different each time and has never been disappointed. 100% recommended! read more

I ordered the lasagna tonight while out with seven friends. It came burnt. The cook tried to hide it under extra sauce. The waitress looked at it and said, Let's make you another one. While I waited everyone else ate their meal, finally another one came. It was burnt too. I noticed a patron from the other table sent hers back too. She shared her husband's dinner while waiting for hers. When my new plate came out, The waitress stated, That's gross and suggested I try spaghetti. I had to wait for another ten minutes for it to come out. My friends had finished their dinners and one suggested I might want to just take mine home. Don't eat the lasagna here! read more

Our first visit here was a pleasant one, for the most part. This placed opened in what had originally been a Libby Hill Seafood location, and housed the short lived Cast Iron Kitchen. The owners also operate the Pizza Wing King on the other side town, and the menu is very broad, part new school diner, part pizza joint, part pub food, and part sandwich joint. The interior is rather modern in design, well lit, and loaded with booths & tables. There is a small bar area as you enter, and limited beer and wine choices are available. This is a "Wait To Be Seated" restaurant, and the young lady who finally seated us is far from the warm, personable individual you want to be your customers' first contact, in fact there were several sour faces around. Finally seated, menued, and drink orders taken, we had a chance to look over the large selection of items. Alice went with the Chicken Fried Steak w/ White Gravy, along with a House Salad & Mashed Potatoes (with more White Gravy). I picked the Fried Pork Chop Sandwich, lose the mustard & add mayo, and a side of FFs. The food arrived in a timely manner, and nothing disappointed, nothing! The Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing was large, fresh, and very good. The Chicken Fried Steak was a bit on the small size, but there was a ton of Mashed Potatoes and a great roll, as well, crusty and loaded with butter! The Pork Chop Sandwich was my choice because I love a good fried pork chop sandwich, and this one was a rarity, it was served bone in! Some folks wont like this - How do you eat a pork chop sandwich with the bone in, they'll say - slowly, carefully, and joyfully! The FFs were a nice serving, and of the seasoned variety, very nicely done. We finished with a huge slice of Coconut Cake that was superb - moist and loaded with flavor, couldn't finish, brought the rest home. Our waitress was excellent, personable and engaging, might want to try her as hostess! read more

This restaurant is right on North Main Street in High Point. There have been several different restaurants in this location over the last years. Its a nice looking building on the outside and the parking lot is large with plenty of room to park. Inside the place is showing its age some. It has an older family restaurant type of feel. The menu is large with lots of choices. There are appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and plate lunches. Really something for everybody. The service was ok. Nothing to wow me, but it was adequate. It took a minute for the food to come out, which means it was cooked to order. Everything was hot and fresh tasting. I went with the chicken bacon ranch sub and home made chips. It was a good amount of food for the money, and everything tasted good. They say the subs are oven baked, and mine had just a little crust on the outside of the bread which was a nice touch. Just enough ranch to let me know it was there. The chicken was nice tasting. The chips were cooked up nice and crisp, and weren't greasy. Others in the group I was with got various items from the menu and nobody was disappointed with their choices. It all looked really good. The checkout process was a little chaotic as you pay at the counter as you leave. It would have been much easier to pay at the table. All in all I enjoyed my food and I would return again. read more

University Kitchen - Chicken Bacon Ranch Sub with chips. - Pizza Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

We love this place. We used to eat at the sister restaurant "Pizza wing king " on the south end of high point and loved it just as well. There is a variety of offerings at a reasonable price. Any thing from sandwiches to steak medallions. Pizza is delicious as well. Atmosphere is clean and casual. They have a bar which offers wine and beer. Several televisions positioned throughout restaurant playing different channels. If you come for lunch you can grab a great deal. A small pizza with up to three toppings with a drink and either wings or salad for under $7! Service is great, owners are very personable as well. If you want something the whole family will enjoy at an affordable price, this is the place to come! Also save room for dessert! So delicious! read more

Sanitation grade is only 92. So, why is that? Good service Usually a wait time for Sunday lunch

We ended up at this restaurant when the one we intended to dine at down the street decided to close an hour before their posted closing time. I had heard this place had something for everyone and that the food was pretty good, so we decided to give it a shot. The verdict is that there is definitely something for everyone, but I would say the food is pretty average. Kind of what I expected when there is such a vast menu. That means a lot of things on warmers, previously frozen, etc. We love pickle chips, so we decided to go with those for an appetizer. Unfortunately, these are not the in-house battered variety. They all have an identical look and amount of breading. The taste is uniformly bland. We didn't finish them. I had honey bbq wings for dinner since the sign outside boldly proclaimed BEST WINGS IN THE TRIAD! They were good, certainly something I would order again, but definitely not the best wings in the Triad. The ranch they came with was tasty, they were crispy, and the honey BBQ sauce was good but a bit ordinary. My wife went simple and opted for the chicken tender dinner. It was a very generous amount of chicken, and they were good. Again, I think these are the frozen variety, but that doesn't matter to me if they come out tasty, which they did. Her Macaroni and cheese side was the baked kind, and the highlight of the meal to me. In the end, I think this is a fine place for people who have no idea what they want to eat and just want a quick meal to get through the day. I wouldn't say it's a must visit or a must avoid, use as necessary. read more

Love this place for some good basic home cooked food! Sometimes you just want a good meal...nothing fancy, but good quality. This is the place. My favorite is the vegetable plate. All of the veggies seem to be made from scratch and are seasoned well. Nothing worse than veggies that just seem to have been dumped from a can...not here! I have tried the pizza also and was pleasantly surprised. read more

Nice diner in quaint older space. Plenty of parking. Easy access and convenient. Our waitress was awesome. She was happy to be there, delighted to serve us, and worked the entire time. If she want serving she was cleaning. I am just sorry I didn't catch her name. The food was fantastic! My daughter had the salmon, well cooked and flavorful. I had the crazy burger with jalapenos, chili,etc.. I even brought half of it home ...it re-heated fantastic and I enjoyed it again today. The cornbread was huge chunk of hot buttery deliciousness. This is where you go to get some of grandma's kitchen memories. Good southern comfort....now I need a nap. read more

I used to love university kitchen I sent many friends there, but last time I visited rubbed me wrong. I entered 30 minutes before closing. I let an older go in front of and me and older personnel got yup to pay so I let them go first. I get to counter and I'm told we are no longer taking to go orders due to kitchen being behind and would take 35 minutes . I was like ok that sucks but I get it. I turn to leave and notice guy I came in with that came in and went to bathroom is at counter ordering and I stated so why does he get to order. The excuse that he was here before but in the bathroom is what I got. I stated we came in together but because I waited for few elderly people to go ahead of me now I can't order. Then he said well you can order but we close at 8. It's one thing to to say we are backed up, but it should apply to everyone. Guess that's a place I can't go anymore since I'm not welcome there it seems. read more

Not eating here again. As soon as we sat down, a swarm of gnats flew up into the air from our booth. The booth had something dirty on it. The food was mediocre. I got a Reuben, and it was dripping fat onto the plate, which is really unappetizing. They didn't put the thousand island dressing on it either. The service was good, but after seeing the gnats, that did it. We would have left, but we had a movie to see. If they clean it up, I'll be glad to go back. read more

The family and I have eaten here several times of the last couple of months. The food portions are good and priced well. In fact, I have not had a bad meal here yet. We normally frequent on Sunday after church and they do turn tables fairly quickly. read more

Loved that this whole area was full of small locally owned restaurants instead of the same old food chains. This was a great little find. The restaurant was cute & the food was great. My son had the parmesan chicken w mac & cheese. The chicken was smaller portion than a 16 boy wanted but he said it was really good. The mac & cheese, well he had 2 orders so I guess that says enough. My others half had the Greek Burger. He liked it, he likes to try new stuff. I tried the steak medallions cooked medium. They were delicious! I would 100% go back just to order those again. I ate most & took every remaining morsel with me to have later. Well, even cold hours later they were still tender & delicious. Yep, that good! Give them a try. I hope your experience is as good as mine was & that you support other small business owners too. read more

Food is always great here. Main complaint is the staff didn't wear masks, they don't use disposable menus, and they recycle ketchup bottles. In today's environment, I don't understand why any wait staff wouldn't want to wear masks to protect themselves and their guests. read more
