    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.

    After the Pudgie Pie!!!

    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!

    The family and I have been here several times over the years. This is one of our favorite burger…read morejoints to dine when we're out and about and want a burger. Typically when we're nearby. We've tried pretty much everything on the menu. This is an older establishment that has kept its old charm. One aspect we appreciate about it. Very simple ordering process and great customer service. Simple menu with plenty of options for everyone. The food is cooked to order and doesn't take long even when it's really busy. Plenty of seating and a large parking lot. We have enjoyed every meal here and will continue to do so. Recommend dining here. Interesting note: if you search for the best burger restaurants in NC, they are on the list.

    In High School, my friends and I would grab lunch at a Coney Island Hot Dog restaurant in Ionia,…read moreMichigan. The dogs came with a thick meat sauce, sweet onions, and mustard. I joined the Marine Corps and left the area, but I would always stop there when home on leave. About 15 years later, I was so disappointed when the store was no longer there. Well, I have finally found the closest thing to what I enjoyed over 50 years ago. Awesome dogs with thick meat sauce, sweet onions and mustard. They also put coleslaw on them, but I had to go with my boyhood passion, so no coleslaw for me. A friend told me that he had never had a dog with coleslaw before, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. The shake was pretty dang good too. I will be back this weekend again!

    Heard great things about this restaurant and decided to visit. I am SOOOO glad I did because it did…read morenot disappoint in the least bit! The service was great and the food was excellent. I ordered the old fashioned smash burger and it was so delicious! The smash patties were cooked to perfection with crispy edges, gooey cheese and fresh toppings & onion straws. The tots were hot and crispy which was a nice touch to round out a great meal. Order at the counter, grab or fix your drink, then wait for your order to be called. I dined in and seating is pretty adequate and the vibes are great for convos- the noise level isn't loud at all. I can't wait to try a milkshake the next time I'm in town as well as some of the other menu items. I'll definitely be back and will bring my hubby and friends for them to try as well!

    Great way to start a day in Wilmington, NC! We were visiting over Christmas Break and decided to…read moreget some breakfast on a beautiful December morning in Wilmington, NC. We had heard a lot about Mess Hall but have never had the chance to visit. We could have walked from where we were staying but we had a couple of others joining us so we drove. The location is very much in a neighborhood. Kinda to cool to include such a fun place to have breakfast. Upon entry we immediately saw the casual setup...plenty of tables, a concrete floor, Specials Board, music playing, a bar and a low-key set up overall. I should have taken more pictures of the interior but it was kind of busy and I didnt want to spook people out taking pictures while they were eating. We had a group of 9. Not everyone was going to eat. Most were drinking either coffee or water. I ordered a single burger with tater tots. My daughter ordered a breakfast burrito and my wife ordered a vegan breakfast burrito. We set up a few tables in the back after ordering and waited for our food. They must have been playing Sirius radio "Petty channel" because most of the songs were Tom Petty's top hits....which we all enjoyed! The food came in a reasonable time and all of us raived about our selections. I had burger that reminded me a burger that I use to get when I was a kid at the Boy's Club...small with a fresh bun and delicious! The tater tots were just kind of a throw in for me but boy, they were delicious! Both burrito's were met with rave reviews as well...fresh and tasty! As we were getting ready to move on, we noticed how fast the place filled up. The room that was relatively quiet when we arrived was all of a sudden crowded with almost all the tables taken! Vibe- Fantastic....which I lived closer Parking- easy, plenty of spots Price- fair & reasonable Staff- friendly & helpful with the menu Food- 5 star Would I come back? 100% YES Great spot!
