I also got a tossed salad which was okay but the ranch dressing was good. I got the chopped sirloin with onions and gravy and it was delicious. The mashed potatoes and gravy paired well with this entree. We also got the baked chicken with dressing with sides fried squash and potato salad. Both sides were good except the fried squash was better when it was hot. The baked chicken was soft and juicy but the gravy on the dressing was a bit salty for my liking. Overall this place was great and we'd come back again. We got a lot of food for a low low price bc of if the Sunday deals. We got all of the above for under $20.

This restaurant has genuinely shifted the dining landscape here. Before Webb, I had to drive to Charlotte for a solid meal. Now, Charlotte drives to Gastonia for Webb. Let's talk food. I am a die‑hard fan of the short rib, it's my go‑to cheat meal, always paired with a glass of Nobilo. Other dishes worth mentioning: the pork chops, the steak, the crab cake, any of the brunch selections, and the burgers. Honestly, I could keep going. Webb is consistent in excellent service, elevated dining, and it's exactly what Gastonia needed. Say what you want but Webb was the first step to the downtown revitalization process, they set the tone for all of the amazing growth Gastonia is experiencing today. Go to Webb, you will not be disappointed.

I asked for a burger with slaw and chili on the side as I didn't want it to get soggy on the 30 minute drive home. Yes you heard that right 30 minute drive home. She informed me that there would be an up charge. Not to mention a VERY small cup of chili is three dollars. I declined as I thought "it's not that big of a deal right". Proceed to open up my burger when I get home and the bun is literally soggy and falling apart. I have been in the Food service business for quite some time and I have never heard of a charge for putting WET condiments on the side. I called and asked about it. The lady was extremely rude and couldn't give me an explanation as to why. As much as we really love this place, after the last couple visits, we will not be returning! I did want to mention, there is a young girl approximately mid to late 20s with Sandy blonde hair who is extremely friendly. She always works during the day and I believe up until around 4 o'clock! She is wonderful

Never got a chance to get a fresh wiener for me and the boys. Was absolutely craving that slaw dog and it's a shame that it's closed. That footlong looked absolutely astonishing and I wish I couldve gotten a bite of that glizz. RIP Wiener Works, you will be remembered. #BlackLivesMatter #12FootGlizzy read more

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!

It's a family owned business and he has an affinity for some sort of alternative rock band. All throughout the restaurant is artwork, posters, and other nostalgic items of this particular band. First off the place is big. It has plenty of seating for large and small groups and I believe it has some outdoor seating as well although we did not opt for that this day since it was extremely hot and was supposed to rain. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to you to your table. They have everything from the vinegar based barbecue sauce typical of the Carolinas to the tomato based slightly sweet and smoky found up north where we're from. The staff was very friendly. The food was served, hot and quick, and it was really good. We particularly enjoyed the burnt ends. They were meaty had a nice little crust on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside. The fried okra could have used a bit more salt but was still good and what we thought was a cornbread muffin was actually a roll. It was actually something between cornbread and a roll if that makes sense. The baked beans were just ok I've had better but taste is subjective so yeah try them and see what you think! This place is a nice little drive from where we live but if ever up in that neck of the woods again, we'll definitely stop again!
