Overall the food was good but my oxtail was a little salty and would have liked a little more rice and peas and plantain. The oxtail was falling off the bone and my friend says the jerk chicken was perfect and reminds her of jerk chicken in Jamaica. Other friends commented that the natural juice was delicious and reminds them of Sunday juice in Jamaica. If you are in Salisbury, this is definitely worth the try.

They are all I know and all I need to know! The owners, a married couple, are very hard workers. I believe they've closed their Lexington location. But the wife used to work their while the husband worked in Salisbury. Now I see her in Salisbury manning the Food Truck right outside. It is a family business I think. I've had conversations with many members of the family. Even a elementary school young boy, who I think was the owners grandson, who could identify the fish by just glancing at it. I really love the family feel of Inlands. Each time I go in rather i'm in a rush or have time for a quick conversation, it just feels right. Inlands is nothing fancy at all, just fresh, local seafood!! If you want fish, you can pick it yourself! You head to the freezer and find a container and tongs and start throwing your fish in. Otherwise you can hope and line and make your requests. They can get very busy but they handle it very well. You can also call ahead and they will give you a time and have it ready for you when you arrive. They also sell everything you need for your fish fry needs, Oil, Corn Meal, Breader, Fries & Sides, & Seasonings. And they have the best Slaw in town!! Sometimes i'll pick up shrimp & scallops. They even have Salmon sometimes where they cut the portions right from the fish. It's awesome. I love Inlands and recommend them to anyone who is looking for Fresh Seafood right here in town!

Incredibly informative about the menu, friendly, thorough, and completely elevated the experience. I can't remember her name but she said she just celebrated her one year anniversary working there. The chef, Kyle, came to our table to discuss a food allergy of someone in our party and came back multiple times to talk to us. He was GREAT, and we could really tell he was experienced and loves what he does. What we got: Milk Bread - 100/10.... I could've eaten the whole thing myself. I would love to get ahold of this recipe... and the homemade butter. Oysters - 10/10 I was reluctant because of the past reviews, but they were outstanding. Some of the best oysters I've ever had in my life. Had a Bloody Mary seasoning. Chicken wing special - 100/10 wow and wow. I could've also eaten all six of these by myself. I held back ordering a second round. Tomahawk steak - 10/10 the flavor on this was unlike anything I have ever tasted before. Perfectly cooked and worth the price. The creamed spinach side that comes with the steak was also glorious. The potatoes that came with it were not my favorite, but they did the job. Cabbage special - 100/10 this may have been my favorite thing we ate all night. Unfortunately, the portion was not that big and I really wish there were more for the price. . It was outstanding. Panna cotta dessert - 8/10 I'm not a big dessert person so this was nice because it was not overly sweet and very light. The overall experience was wonderful. It was relaxed, we did not feel rushed. Atmosphere 10 out of 10. Service 10 out of 10. Food 9.999 out of 10. Steep price tag, but it was well worth it and we can't wait to come back when we visit again next year.

On our visit on Thursday, the worst part of the meal was our service. The waitress was unfriendly, almost to the point of being rude. She sat my husband's plate down and it had a hair on it. He told her and she grabbed the plate and held it up in the light to try to see the hair, as if she did not believe it was there. It was. Then she just took it to the kitchen without even speaking to us. She never refilled our drinks. She was never nice about the hair in the food or about our drinks being completely empty. We finally stopped another waitress who brought tea and water to our table. The chips used to be good. They used to serve pico with the chips. Now, they charge for the pico and they have changed to a cheaper chip. They are thick and not good. They are not even served warm. We will not be giving this restaurant any more of our money. The rude waitress needs to find a job she feels is worthy of her time, because she obviously things she is above waiting tables. The man who acts as the manager fawns over some customers who come in, but completely ignores all of the rest of the customers. No onoe comes by and checks on the tables. No one cleans up the debris dropped in the floor around the tables. This is the worst Mexican restaurant in the area.

My Mother & I ate at Blue Bay last night, seafood was not good quality. The fish tasted bland like farm raised rather than wild caught. Prices of menu items did not bother us, had the food been good but it was not. However, what was disturbing to us were the thuggish looking people...possibly out on work release, that were promptly seated around us and unbusy waitstaff seemed to find this very amusing. We are nice looking, pleasant people with no criminal history and did not find the disrespectful, inhospitable treatment at this restaurant amusing. Obviously, we will not be back there.

Stag & Doe Restaurant and Tavern

If you're a Midwesterner living down South (or just someone who knows the magic of a true tavern…read moreexperience), The Stag & Doe will feel like a warm hug and a high-five the moment you walk in. It's the closest thing I've found to a Southern Indiana tavern--and trust me, that's the highest of compliments. The wood-paneled walls, vintage beer signs, red and white checkered tablecloths, baskets of crackers waiting at your table, and ice-cold beer mugs are pure nostalgia. They even have the old-school tavern pizza that tastes just like home. I didn't know whether to cry tears of joy or order another round (spoiler: I did both). The prices are so good it almost feels illegal. A frosty mug is $4, but you're better off grabbing the small pitcher for $8 (about 3.5 glasses) -- or go big with the larger pitcher for $16 if you're feeling generous. And yes, you can even get Blue Moon at that price! #worthit. They're famous for their spaghetti, but my boyfriend can never resist the ribs--and every time the waitress offers to "add shrimp," he says yes without hesitation (it's basically tradition now). It's about a 35-minute drive from Charlotte (add time for the inevitable traffic), but it's absolutely worth it. The only thing missing is a giant fishbowl beer glass and some cheeseballs... then this place would be a 20/10, no contest. The food? Fantastic. The prices? Even better. But the feeling of being "at home" when you're 600 miles away? Absolutely priceless. Stag & Doe is a hidden gem, a tavern treasure, and officially the apple of my eye. I'll be back again and again--save me a pitcher.

As we decided on our meal our waitress did a great job of keeping water and tea on our table plus any type of sauces we asked for to dip our egg rolls and spring rolls and Crab dragons (one of my favorites). Our oldest son and his girlfriend was enjoyed the Sushi. Our youngest had ordered a bowl of chicken and rice soup with scallions. I noticed he was letting it cool so I got me a spoonful and in my older years I can't handle a lot of salt in or on my food. And his soup definitely had to much. As our food was being our daughter in-law had a bowl of egg drop soup. Something I also enjoy. But she took about two spoons full and pushed it to the side. I started to put my spoon in and she warned me that it was extremely Salty. So I took her word for it. The waitress took it off the bill. I had ordered Hibachi steak and shrimp. My steak was as tuff as it could be. The shrimp were okay but nothing to write home about. So with in a two week span my wife and I spent over 100 dollars on food from two different restaurants in Salisbury that unless we just happened to hit on an off day we were very disappointed in our food. We have dined at Bangkok several times over the years it's been at this location and been very pleased with our meal. But last night we were disappointed.
