Update: ordered a #8 and their new hot Italian sub with pepper relish…read more Subs were ready for pick up when I arrived and I was even greeted by the staff behind the counter when I walked in. My #8 was excellent. Veggies were cold and crisp and the meats were piled high. Bacon was crisp and not too much mayo. Perfect. However, the star of the show was the new hot Italian sub I got for my wife. The meats are chopped which makes it easy to get a good bite. The pepper relish took this sub to a new level. Added a little bit of pickle tartness and just the right amount of heat. My wife was amazed. She said, and I quote: "This is the best Italian sub I've ever eaten". Usually when I ask her how her food is at any eatery, she usually says "ok" or "it's good". Her praise of this new sub should not be taken lightly but should be revered as a rare event in the history of our world. RUN, do not walk to your nearest Jersey Mike's and give the new hot Italian sub a try. I took a bite. It's not hype folks. It's really good.

My wife found this place on Yelp just a few minutes away from the banquet hall. It was on an Americana central street with parking in front. We walked in to what I initially thought was just a small place, but there were actually three rooms to sit in. We ordered ice coffee (being that it was going to be a warm Southern day) and I got "The Elvis", peanut butter and bananas on white toast. The staff were all extremely friendly and the food came out quickly. I drank down eagerly the ice coffee that in some ways reminded me of a Vietnamese ice coffee. The sandwich was just right with a creamy peanut butter and banana slices. The place is super cute, the service is great and the food is a good price, who could ask for more?

I'll definitely be back for more chai!

Cookout has been open for some time but I never had a chance to try them. Stories of their unique…read moremenu structure are legendary (burger with a side of burger with a side of burger). My youngest was home from college for the weekend and she introduced me to Cookout. The Mocksville location is take-out only. Some Cookouts offer dine-in as well. My daughter has been to Cookouts many times so she is a veteran of how to navigate the menu. My suggestion to you is to go online and study their menu and different options how to order. You'll thank me later. Anyway, I ordered a tray, it comes with a main dish and two sides. I got the big double burger with Cajun fries and cheese bites and a Diet Coke. My daughter ordered the same with a sweet tea. I chose lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mayo as toppings. I have to say, the burger, which came with two patties was very good. Nice chargrill flavor and the toppings were fresh and crisp. The fries appear to be fresh-cut and were, well, fries. The cheese bites were very crisp and tasty. The drive thru process was very quick. Our order was taken and filled in a timely manner. The staff was friendly and efficient. All in all it was a positive experience. And the best part? My daughter and I had a good lunch all for $18 for both is us. The burger is the best fast food burger in Davie County. It's not even close. I know I'm late to the Cookout party but if you haven't tried them, you need to.

I got the pimento cheeseburger all the way with fries. Our server Pam was as sweet as could be helping score the biscuits and gravy. Wife's food was plentiful and delicious. Biscuits were tender and the gravy creamy and delicious. My burger, although a bit messy as you'd expect was delicious as well with all the toppings maintaining their taste and not getting muddled with their brethren.

The parking…read moresituation is a little funky/limited because a significant portion of the adjacent area is being developed, into a Love's Travel Stop if the fine folks at Massimo's are to be believed. It's a smaller spot with the ordering counter and kitchen in the back and maybe seating for 26 or so. The folks behind the counter were friendly and the order process was simple. I got their sandwich special, the Buffalo Soldier. It was chicken cutlet with lettuce, tomato, blue cheese, and ranch on ciabatta. I made it a combo with chips and a soda. With tip I think the total was around $17. That was a touch more expensive than I was expecting especially with just a bag of chips on the side. The sandwich was good. Between the blue cheese and the ranch it was really creamy and most of the toppings slide off with the second bite. I don't mind a mess though! The ciabatta bread was the perfect compliment for the sandwich. It was a cute spot and I especially liked the creative sandwich names. I'd go back and try the chicken ceasar wrap next time.

My family stopped here on a road trip and I was pretty disappointed…read more We came right at opening and it was pretty quiet, but it was definitely bustling by the time we left. Our server did a pretty mediocre job, if I'm being real - she took our orders and delivered the food but pretty much didn't check on us for the entire meal, and I ended up having to take my trash to the front counter to get rid of it, since no one was bussing the table. I got the Chicken Power Pita and I was underwhelmed with it. The pita was soggy and cold, and everything inside felt mushy and a bit flavorless. My wife's roast beef sandwich was also extremely lacking, although she did like the bread. Weirdly, she wanted lettuce, tomato, and onion on it, and the server told us that they didn't offer onion. Why does a deli not have sliced onion for its sandwiches? On the positive side, my father-in-law really liked his chili. Because we got there so early, we found parking on the street, but I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find parking if you came during normal lunch hours. Inside the restaurant, it had standard deli vibes. I would definitely not come back here if I was stopping in Statesville for lunch.

(4.25) O'Brien's is the kind of classic deli every city…read moreshould have. It's a small space - a few tables inside and a few tables out - but don't let that or the line you are likely to encounter deter you. They crank out sandwiches quickly here. Said sandwiches include about two dozen hot and cold offerings as well as the ability to build your own. The meats are Boar's Head, but the desserts and soups are made fresh in-house. Check out the display case for salads and sides that might catch your eye. O'Brien's prides itself on its Reuben, and so I went with the "mini" version (a quarter rather than a half pound of meat) with a pickle for my first visit here. Ordering at the register was a breeze, and I was fortunate enough to snag one of the tables for dine-in. Though I was a bit skeptical that the Reuben would match the hype, it delivered. I don't know that it is without a doubt the best version I've had, but it is definitely up there. The grilled rye was nice and crisp, and I appreciated that they used both mustard and Russian dressing. That, plus the meat, kraut, and melty cheese, made for a very satisfying bite. At $10, the sandwich proved a good value, too. Unpretentious and nostalgically comforting (for Northern transplants, at least), O'Brien's is a well-oiled sandwich-slinging machine. Though that Reuben will be hard to top, I look forward to giving one of their other offerings (maybe a Cuban, maybe a Spicy Italian) a try.

Death, Taxes, and the classic Reuben from O'Briens Deli. All certainties, but only one of them…read moreenjoyable. When anyone asks me where to find the best reuben in Winston, I tell them go to the place that proudly proclaims in their window that they are "The Home of the Reuben" and can back it up... O'Briens! It's a small place, a few outdoor tables, and probably 6-8 inside. They do a lot of to-go business, for good reason. The lunch crowd will never shy away from a sandwich here... of which I have had several. But the reuben indeed stands alone. One of the keys to their success is a happy and engaged staff. The owner, Josh, realizes this and takes great care of them. He believes his success should also be theirs, and that is evident in their demeanor. On to the Reuben. Why is it so good? The pictures really say it all. Corned beef stacked high, with a good ratio of kraut, swiss cheese, deli mustard, and grilled Jewish rye bread. Visually impressive, leads perfectly into orally outstanding. You'll be full and happy, and wondering why you'd order it anywhere else. Not to mention, check them out around St. Patrick's day for traditional Irish stew!

I always order the fluffy on GF with no cheese, and he always orders the Italian on GF with no cheese. There is cross contamination, so if you are celiac, you can ask them to change gloves, use a clean knife, and keep your sandwich away from the others. We have almost never received the correct order without cheese the first time, but they don't make a fuss when asked to remake the sandwiches, and they are very apologetic. These sandwiches are generous with the meat and other fillings, and the pizza-crust-as-bread works so well. We also get their delicious potato salad with our sandwiches. The seating area is not huge, maybe ten tables, but we've never had to wait for one, and we often take our order to go. The restaurant is clean, and parking is fairly convenient. Even with the issue of having to remake sandwiches, I still rate Blake's a solid five star. It's consistently delicious, and I like supporting a small business in my home community.
