    Club Sandwich
    Bruce B.

    We brought our 4 kids in before a soccer game and we were served very quickly. The kids liked their cheeseburgers and Mac & Cheese. I had the club sandwich , which was huge and my wife had the salmon.

    Went for a late lunch with a friend. I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich...and they had the Slap Ya Momma Shrimp appetizer. Both were very good and tasty. Food was hot and fresh. Service was good. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Definitely looking forward to going back again.

    I have been trying to think of the right words for this review. My mom dines here a lot so I need to be as gentle as possible. The town this restaurant is in does not have more than 5 restaurants other than fast food. Maybe even less than that. So, for this restaurant to be busy is understandable. The location it used to be was so cute and a place that was inviting. This location is in the middle of a run down Food Lion shopping center. No big deal as I have found some of the best hidden gems are found in places like that. The restaurant itself is mainly set up like a large diner. There are two separate huge rooms. It looks like it used to be some kind of theater or dance club or maybe an American Legion? The decor makes no sense and they still use handwritten tickets and you pay at the counter. It was definitely not very clean or neat and tidy. Not dirty where I wouldn't eat there, but ripped chairs and boxes in the halls. Still, none of this would have mattered. This restaurant definitely caters to fattening, hearty, soul food. I eat very healthy so it was hard for me me to find anything on the menu that I wanted. I chose the catch which was rainbow trout (never had it.) To be honest, I was afraid to try their salmon and tuna due to my high standards. The rainbow trout was not something I would order again but it was cooked well. The salad with it was a large size. My mom loved it while I found it just OK. She ordered chicken tenders and I could tell that they were homemade. I took a bite and they were delicious. I also took a bite of the macaroni and cheese and it was barely warm but had a decent flavor. The seafood platters and sandwiches people were getting looked really good. Like I said, you don't go here to eat healthy. My son had the pork chops here before and he loves them. My biggest concern was the lack of friendliness from our server (who was the owner.) No personality at all and I understand that she was busy but she acted as if I was annoying her by asking questions. I was thrown off by that. Maybe she was just having a bad day??? Anyways, come here for reasonable fattening food and don't expect a fancy, clean space. Don't expect great customer service but it's better than the fast food in town.

    Nice hidden little gem in Burgaw. The food has been hit or miss in my experiences, but the staff is very friendly and service is fast.

    Excellent friendly service. The catfish and flounder were very good. Delicious fried okra and hushpuppies.

    The food was okay but it wasn't the best for the price and the service was horrible!! We had to ask for more drink!

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.

The meat alone is reason enough to go: the cut, the cook, the flavor, absolute perfection. But what makes this place special is that it doesn't stop there. The Caesar salad is crisp and balanced and yes you can get with the anchovies or without, the burgers are rich and satisfying, the mac and cheese is pure comfort, and even the Brussels sprouts are standout. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And then... there's the steak flight. Oh my God, the steak flight. If you're on the fence, wondering if it might be too much just jump. It is too much. We split it between three people and still barely made a dent, but every bite was worth it. By the end, we were deep in a blissful, hazy food coma completely happy, completely satisfied, and already talking about coming back. Because that's the thing we always come back. And somehow, we're never disappointed. We find an excuse every chance we can to return. We've brought friends, planned "parties" to celebrate no particular occasion just to visit. Never once has anyone we've sent there been disappointed. Oh and the desserts!

I also got "The Jive". Gin drink. And I very much enjoyed the meal. The service was really nice too. There's plenty more I want to try on the menu, so I will be back.
