She was sweet & welcoming & recommended the best for us. We both had the O.M.G burger & it was delicious!! Fries were hot & fresh, the wings were meaty & so good & the cheese curds were great! Really simple, family restaurant. You order at the counter, they give you a number & they bring it out to you. They have plenty of parking, seating & handicap assessable. Don't pass this little clean spot up if passing by!

We had the Delmonico steak with onion rings, cheese curds, country fried steak with mashed potatoes, chicken livers and fries. The chicken livers were light, crispy and delicious! All the food was "clean"... not greasy and amazing! The Customer Service was fantastic. They were attentive and friendly! We decided to eat inside with the air-conditioning and we were very happy! They do have a porch outside with fans and tables and chairs for anyone who wants to sit next to the small brook. There is a TV inside and tables of all different sizes. We truly enjoyed our meal! We wished we had time to come back for a second time before we left NC!

The fries were very soft and no seasoning. The 12oz ribeyes special. were ordered medium rare. They came out over well done. They were super thin and tough. The corn had no butter or any other seasoning. The cubed potatoes were swimming in oil. The club sandwich was really good. Lots of meat and toppings. I went in to find our waiter. No staff was seen. After about 25 minutes he finally comes out to the table. We had him remove the steak dinners since we couldn't eat them. For some reason he showed us that he put them into the system medium rare. Thinking that would change things. Our waiter thought he should get a $50 tip on a $50 order. He did not check to see if we needed anything. He did not refill drinks. He was not seen for about 25 minutes.

They are dipped in a whiskey beer batter and server with a spicy dip. They did not disappoint. I ordered the Quinoa Salad with Blackened Steak, amazing! My partner got the special which was fresh trout filet, blackened, with fresh mango/pineapple salsa. Also amazing. For dessert we ordered the chocolate brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream. OMG! Heaven in your mouth. It's just one of my favorite places. Our waiter was Huxley who was very helpful and just a really nice guy. We will definitely be going back.

The service was a bit delayed compared to some of my previous experiences at similar restaurants, but the staff was still friendly and the restaurant was very busy during our visit.

It is on the pricier side, but that's somewhat expected for a popular spot like this. Overall, a solid experience and worth trying at least once.

Megan was our server, she was wonderful made great recommendations, friendly, staggered our food perfectly, and never let our cups go dry. Cornbread was hot, moist, and so yummy. Onion straw with a bbq ranch sauce was perfect! We got the pork chops, so tender you could cut with fork, it needed nothing, along with mashed potatoes! The food was 5 star quality!

Brandon was an excellent server, very attentive and friendly. All the food, like last time, was paced perfectly. Our apps and salad were not overlapped by my our entrees! And the rolls, c'mon! They're hot and delicious! We shared the onion strings app, tasted perfect and loved the dipping sauce. We also got side salads with ranch -- wow, you can tell it's made there, and just the right amount of dill in it! For entrees, wife and I shared the 14oz ribeye -- WOW, is it good -- with a side of broccoli. Good amount of marbling, perfect temp (medium), and juicy. MIL had the fried chicken, which was probably a 3 out of 5 for her. Only two of the four pieces were juicy, and to me it looked a little over cooked. We had no room for dessert, and the snow started coming down heavy, so we left after filling up. Make sure you don't assume anything with this place being in a strip mall -- it is sooooo good! See you again next year!

The meat and three along with the vegetable only options are welcomed changes to the family style only meal for those desiring smaller portions. In our experience, the food was served hot and was perfectly prepared. We chose white meat chicken and received two large breast that were excellent! The two catfish fillets and four slices of meat loaf were delicious. The vegetables were Lima beans, cabbage casserole, creamed corn, potatoes au gratin, slaw and a spring salad. All were served fresh with two biscuits and two corn muffins. The relish, apple butter and Sogrum-sage butter were delightful. We were blessed to have April for our server, and highly recommend her for your visit. She shared the history of the area and is proud of the changes and history of the Dillard House. Thank you for a great meal. The fried chicken is better than I remembered. Yes, the restaurant is open, and parts of the motel are being remodeled/updated and the new hotel is under construction. Don't let the remodeling deter you from the eating at the restaurant or enjoying your favorite drink from the bar.

Poor service, poor food quality. Not impressed at all…read more Ambience is nice, very spacious, newly built, restaurant. Friendly staff. Not very attentive at all. Say for 15 minutes before the manager had to obtain a server for our table. After the food was delivered, the server did not provide adequate service. I requested a water refill, which took an additional 15 minutes, because she continually forgot. Food quality wasn't the greatest. They served chicken, which consisted of 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks. Along with friend catfish filets, that had been way over salted. Both were very soggy. I ate half the thigh and quit. Veggies? Only vegetables were Lima beans, everything else considered vegetables, was a casserole. A table full of starches. Over rated and over priced. Sadly disappointed. If you want good southern food, go further south to Thomasville, GA. Go to O'Neals. You can fool some folks, but not someone that knows southern cooking. We won't return.
