Taken right to our table and passed the infamous salad bar which looked so pitiful we all passed on that. Kind of a bummer. We were sat in a comfortable booth but everywhere around seemed like it needed a good clean and definitely not the atmosphere of any steak house I've ever been to. We ordered the crab cake and shrimp skewer for appetizers. Both were good. For our meals we ordered a little bit of everything including a rib eye which came out bloody (asked for medium well), pasta, brussels, grilled cheese, chicken tenders and fries. The overall consensus was that it was an epic failure. I would hardly call this a steakhouse, let alone with a famous salad bar. We definitely will not be returning. It's the beach so our expectations are never overly high but wow this was a disappointment!

I ordered the fried chicken, sweet potato fries, and cabbage. It came with hushpuppies. I should note that I don't like most restaurant hushpuppies. These were light, crisp on the outside, and lightly sweet. These were worth eating. My chicken was good with a crunchy exterior but moist meat. The only thing I did not like (nor did my wife) was the ranch dressing. We like ranch on sweet potato fries, theirs were little containers of shelf-temperature dressing, not the good garlicky and buttermilk ranch I crave from many restaurants. I think this was Tom's brand. They were not worth eating. We did not have a desert but the brownies at the counter looked pretty good.

When we spend $70 with half of the meal not being worth $30 bucks, that's a sign they're not worthy of a return visit. Phyla should consider staying home when she's not in the mood to work.

First things first: be prepared to spend some money…read more Second: do not expect fine dining. You can spend the same amount at places like Ruth's Chris, Sullivan's, or Angus Barn and get nicer décor and a more polished atmosphere. If you come to Beefmastor Inn expecting an upscale experience, you'll likely be disappointed -- and you'll probably complain about the tight seating, the long wait, the plastic tablecloths, or the iceberg lettuce. That said, Beefmastor has a charm that's hard to deny -- even if it can feel off-putting at first. The place is small and spartan. On busy nights, you will wait. You might end up seated near the bathroom. It's not intimate, and it's not glamorous. What it is, however, is the polar opposite of pretentious. Every inch of the place feels like old-school North Carolina: cinderblock walls, checkered plastic tablecloths, cottage cheese and raisins on the salad bar. The food is straightforward and unembellished. To be honest, I've had better steaks. I ordered the 10 oz., and it was a bit inconsistent -- velvety in parts, gristly in others, and slightly under-seasoned. But what I appreciated most was the feeling of stepping into a time machine. It felt like a snapshot of a different era -- before towns like Wilson faded and before chain restaurants took over every strip mall. Beefmastor Inn isn't perfect. My meal wasn't perfect. The service wasn't perfect. And it's not cheap. Still, I genuinely enjoyed the experience, and I think it's worth visiting at least once.

My wife and I split the 12 oz ribeye for two, and it comes with a salad and potato for both of you. Plus the salad bar is all you can eat. Plus they bring you rolls. And there's clam chowder available at the salad bar also. With two teas, our bill was $54. In today's world, that's pretty good. Overall food was great and we would definitely come back.

Since I had a wonderful experience last time I treated myself to another wonderful dinner. I was welcomed at the door with a friendly smile and seated in Malikai's section. What a sweet young man. Very attentive and really wanted to make sure I was happy. I ordered a beer ($3.49), great price. I ordered the sirloin & shrimp and picked a salad and baked potato as my sides. The salad came in a cold bowl and was fresh and crisp. The shrimp was seasoned very well and the baked potato had a salty outside and was served "all the way". So good. The meat was a little dry but that was probably my fault. I ordered a 6 oz and probably should have ordered it MR. The seasoning is was good but because it was a smaller cut, cooking it at medium dried it out a little. For my free dessert I got the chocolate cake with ice cream again. Now, this is way to much food for one person, so I ate the shrimp, all the salad and the ice cream. I brought home the steak, the potato and cake. Lunch for the next day. Yeah! Longhorn was warm and inviting. The restaurant was busy at 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday. I was welcomed by the manager who was so easy to talk to and who ended up making this an even better birthday by paying for my meal. Thank you Tonya.

They have a call-ahead feature that I used online as I was leaving to walk over, so I didn't have much of a wait. It was a busy place, so I think I would have had at least an hour wait otherwise.

There were plenty of staff members, and they worked together to keep things running smoothly. My waiter was friendly and attentive. I got the filet mignon with a baked potato and a strawberry salad. I had iced tea here, and they even gave me one to take with me. The filet and the potato were so filling that I saved the salad for breakfast the next day. It was still very good. I did have some there at first. Then bread was provided too. Even though I am not fond of chains, Longhorn Steakhouse is one of the better ones.
