    Heard on here it was so good but I can't agree with that statement.  The Gravy tasted like it came out of a can and frozen biscuit.

    Well, Breakfast was a bust for us. The long line took 32 minutes to order and when we got home we weren't happy at all. My Biscuit and Gravy with Bacon wasn't so good. The Gravy tasted like it came fresh out of a can and the Biscuit was frozen type (no flavor). The Bacon was hard, thick and crispy but did have flavor. Husband ordered Eggs, Sausage and Grits. The eggs were cooked correctly, Sausage was like a brick (hard) and grits ( I think we got what was left in bottom of pot) hardly any at all. Definately sticking to Lunch there. Lunch is great :)

    This place is so out of date it is unbelievable. Dirty & run down. We had never been here before & have always wanted to go. The parking lot is always just about full. Boy is that a shocker! The food is not good @ all. My husband had slaw as one of his side's & I had macaroni salad as one of mine. They were both store bought not homemade. Ugh! They were horrible. I had mashed potatoes as the other side. They were so thick. The women's bathroom...well I want get into that. We will not be back.

    Double chili cheeseburger

    Every time i'm in Marion, I tell myself that i'm going to try something new, but I always end up here again. My usual is the double chili cheeseburger, which has become my favorite burger anywhere. If you're in town, you gotta try them.

    I always stop here on my way up to Little Switzerland and get a BBQ sandwich! They are so good! They also have the best chicken pita and fries.Tony his staff are very friendly.Dont let the old building fool you- it is crowded here for a reason. Great fast food and great prices!

    Everytime I travel I try to find a mom and pop restaurant. I'm happy i found this place. I ordered a big breakfast...half order of pancakes, eggs, sausage, grits and toast. I was hungry! It was delicious and fulfilling. The ladies were friendly and fun to talk to. They even made scrambled eggs and bacon for my dog. If you are looking for laid back, quick service with great food, this is the place.

    Gyro platter

    Delicious!! We stopped here as we were passing through and were pleasantly surprised. In the mood for gyros this place hit the spot! The meat was tender and well seasoned. Fast and friendly service. Well worth the stop.

    Great place for excellent cheap local eats

    Best Gyro in Marion! Great burgers, fries and onion rings. When I make it back to Marion to visit family, Bantam Chef is a must stop!

    Stopped on my way thru Marion NC for lunch on Main St. Good Yelp reviews brought me to Bruce's…read moreFabulous Foods. A small town lunch cafe with everything "fabulous" you would hope to find. To start with you a greeted by Barb who treats locals and new visitors like long time friends. Table service or a bar counter you can sit out. Barb explains the menu and their customers favorites (including The Reuben and their homemade Pimento Cheese) a choice of 1 side from the daily specials and a complimentary brownie or cookie for dessert. They do not have a fryer so all menu items are prepared fresh. I had a Reuben Sandwich and pasta salad. (The sides are large!) We chose to split the Reuben since we have early dinner reservations and each got a side. Even at 1/2 the sandwich and side it was very filling. The sandwich was hot and delicious. The pasta salad was also very good. The desserts today was Banana Cake and Hawaiian Cake. I got a slice to go. Go for the good food and warm hospitality!

    I had high hopes for this adorable local restaurant, and they were nicely met by the hosting staff,…read moreall of whom hustle hard. The place was packed on this Monday lunch time and we had a 20 minute wait before we were seated. Understandable because it's great stuff. A cheeseburger for me and the quiche of the day for Mrs. K. My burger was cooked properly and presented well with a side of very creamy cole slaw. Delicious. The quiche was delicious and the cucumber salad with it was both tart and sweet. Perfection. Of course, cheesecake for dessert. Mrs. K. got to enjoy mine as I'm going a low carb so I got to watch her enjoy the Crème brûlée slice now and the New York went into a box for later. It didn't survive the day, getting eaten at home a few hours later. Service was busy and friendly. My only complaint is that the sweet tea was very weak. Sweet enough just not "tea" enough. A very minor problem. [Round number 24200 overall - 639 of 2025 - 4127 in North Carolina]
