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.

Placed order on line at 6:47 on Thursday the 5th. Scheduled to pick up at 7:27. This was a reorder…read more My wife came in to pick up, she checked and it was not correct. Order was crossed with another one. Asked it to be remade. After waiting extra time and driving home, checked the reorder and again- incorrect. I brought it back a second time and asked they be remade correctly. First- I was offered a refund. I said no- make them the way they are ordered. Waited while they are being redone. I understand a mistake but a second one on top of the first is unfortunate. This is the second time in two weeks that our order was incorrect, and the first time I am complaining about it. These folks need to be paying attention to the orders they are making. Store is clean- no complaints on the store- just these kids need to be more attentive to what they are doing. Finally- the third time was the charm. Gotta give it 4 stars tonight- 3 for the experience - but 5 for the sandwiches. When they are right they are delicious!

I drove the 20 minutes here to try the food after reading a number of glowing reviews - 4.6 Yelp…read morerating over 77 reviews! It is a small place with less than a dozens tables, and a fairly broad menu. It has been operating for about 10 years now. I was particularly interested in the California Burrito with Steak and the tacos with shredded beef, the Birria tacos, the Guadalajara Dog, and the street corn. We tried them all! The California Burrito is an interesting version - filled with pickled jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, onion, avocado, Mexican cheese, sour cream, your choice of protein, and topped with Chili Con Queso once filled. The menu description does not mention FFs which is very much traditional. In fact, the replacement of rice and beans with crispy FFs was what made the California Burrito unique! This is a large burrito, shorter and thicker than the vast majority you'll see. The filling I chose was carne asada and the burrito was topped with what the menu termed "chili con queso". The result was a different looking burrito, but an excellent burrito - and no, I couldn't finish it. The Birria Tacos are only available of Fridays. You get four tacos, sliced radish, Lime wedges, and the house red and green hot sauces. These tacos were well filled with meat and cheese, but there was no consommé, which is very traditional, also no chopped white onion or cilantro - disappointing, would not order again! The street tacos with shredded beef were good, not great - well filled, and well topped with chopped white onion and cilantro. I went all the way which added lettuce, tomato, and Mexican white crumbling cheese, either cotija or queso fresco. Frankly I did not find that the all the way approach worked for me! 3 tacos were $8.99, and all the way added $1.99. These are a bit pricey, most Tex-Mex spots in Winston serve up 4 for just under $13! I wanted to try the Guadalajara Dog more out of curiosity than anything else - I have been in Guadalajara a number of times and experienced some interesting food items, such as Birria (the stew), Pozole, Carne En Su Jugo, BBQ Young Goat, and the Guadalajara Hot Dog ( a wildly popular street food)! The weiner is wrapped in bacon and then deep fried, causing the skin to develop rips. Once in the bun, it is sauced and topped with fresh avocado, chopped onion, ancestry you can add more. This was a good version, but not an item I order often. The street corn consisted of corn kernels, cheese, hot sauce, lime, and a Mayo based sauce. This is a busy item, and I found I prefer the simpler, customary corn on the cob with crumpled cheese. This is an interesting place, one that has a different take on Tax-Mex dishes. Those takes and moves away from tradition are not something for me.

We hadn't been here in a while and my wife had a craving for a Guadalajara dog…read more Stopped in and stepped up to the counter. I ordered a California burrito. It took about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. Staff member brought our food to our table and it did not disappoint. Hot dog was wrapped in bacon and adorned with various topping including a chipotle crema. My burrito was ginormous! Covered in cheese sauce and stuffed with shredded chickens, veggies and beans. The food was excellent as always. El Taco Shop is unassuming from the outside but don't let that fool. They offer seriously good eats on the inside.

I love a good chicken sandwich and I had to try Wendy's new spicy chicken sandwich…read more Ordered at the drive thru. Extremely quick service and the sandwich was ready to go. Waited until I got home to try it. $5+ for the sandwich. It was hefty. Pretty heavy. Crispy, uniform thickness topped with mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickle. The spice is up front and takes center stage. The toppings are a nice cool compliment to the spicy heat of the chicken. The issue I have is it only brings heat, not a noticeable amount of flavor. The original spicy sandwich had less heat but was delicious. Not sure why they changed it. 7/10 Good size for the money, fills the empty space and should satisfy people who life their chicken with a kick. Good overhang outside the bun of about 1/2 inch. Good size breast.

Ray Ray's is a small chicken chain of restaurants in North Carolina. They have 3 locations total,…read moreMocksville,, Randalman and Asheboro. The restaurant is open and bright with tall windows along the front and sides. A very nice change from the cloned box chain restaurant buildings these days. They have a drive thru and dine in with lots of booths surrounding the perimeter of the inside and some tables in the center. They also have a small outdoor seating area. It's not covered though so it will be a seasonal option. The inside has a large counter that looks like it could be a bar area but it was empty and looked unfinished. We ordered at the counter where a friendly cashier helped us decide on what sauces to choose. Since it was our first time here we wanted to try a variety of items. I ordered three sliders and my husband got a tender combo. Our food came out really quickly and it was super hot. The fries were seasoned well too. No one likes unseasoned fries. One of the first things we noticed was how small the tenders were. I would have expected a larger tender for the price honestly. The flavor was delicious and we loved the different sauces they had. The spicy peach sauce was one of my favorites as well as the honey mustard. The pretzel bites we got as a side were ok. I'd probably skip them next time though. Overall we had a great experience at Ray Rays. I'd go there again for sure. Next time I'll have to try one of their sandwiches or bowls I think.

Wow! When I first saw Ray Ray's Chicken Shack in Mocksville I thought "do we really need another…read morechicken place? How good can it be?" I've never been so happy to be proven wrong! Not only are the portions beyond generous, but the food is DELICIOUS. There are not many chicken sandwiches out there that can rival chick-fil-a, but.... I might have to put Ray Ray's on top. As someone who usually hates crinkle cut fries, they are done right here. Seasoned to perfection and crisp on the edges! Also, so many fries included that I couldn't even finish them all in one sitting. The chicken itself is so juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. They also have fresh lemonade and orangeade, and yes, it's actually fresh. The lemon flavor packed a punch but in the best way. I am SO excited to have this new addition to Mocksville and I already can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Since I was in the area, I decided to grab a quick lunch. I had wanted to try their bone-in wings…read more I have had the classic chicken sandwich many times, and had fried legs and thighs on occasion, but never the wings. I ordered the 6 piece Classic Bone-In Wing Combo with Cajun Fries. They do not cook their chicken to order, so the order was soon out. I was really taken back by the food I received. The six wings is a bit of a misnomer - what I received was six, very small drumettes. Not only were they small, they had absolutely no flavor. I chewed through 2 and then gave up. The fries were no better. All I got for $10.49 was the proverbial shaft!

Another disappointing dinner run…read more Ordered a chicken sandwich and a sandwich combo. The chicken on both sandwiches had been sitting out way too long. They were dry and barely warm. So dry in fact that you couldn't bite through the sandwich. You kind of hand to bite and tear pieces off. Hard to chew and thank God I ordered a drink with it. Cmon guys. It's not rocket science. Dont serve food past their hold times. It's bad business and in the end you don't save money by not throwing out that old product, you lose customers and reputation by serving it.

I was pleasantly surprised with my first visit to this Arby's. I've only had Arby's maybe 3 times…read morebefore this and wasn't super excited for it. I ordered the smokehouse brisket and curly fries, simply enough. Food was ready within minutes and the workers were pleasant enough. The sandwich didn't seem like it was made by a blind person on stilts like a lot of fast food now. The brisket was juicy and had a great taste, sauce was good and had a fair amount onions that were still decently crispy. Biggest complaint is the meat to bun ration was off, and I wish there was more sauce. The fries are a classic, well seasoned and hot. I probably would come back here in a pinch for some brisket and would be open to trying some of their other options.

I'm not a regular at Arby's but I had to try the new Wagyu burger. I love trying new food items…read more I ordered the combo and the rest of this review will be dedicated to the hamburger. Fries were fresh and hot. The burgers came out awfully fast. I was concerned about the freshness at that point. And my concerns were founded. The burger came loaded with cheese, tomato, onion and pickles. The toppings were plentiful. When I opened the burger and lifted the bun, the burger patty was dry looking. When a burger comes off the grill or fryer fresh, it glistens with fat and juices. Not this. It was dry as a bone. My first bite told it all. It WAS dry and I'd bet $100 it wasn't made fresh but had been sitting around a while. Very disappointing. The patty itself really didn't have any distinctive flavor. It was rather bland and boring. With all the hype surrounding this special kind of beef, I expected more. I finished the burger and it will be the last one I order from Arby's. For $11+ for this combo, you expect to be WOWED, at least I did. If all Wagyu is like this, it certainly isn't worth the cost. Give me 80/20 angus any day.

Since I was in the area, I decided to go for the new Big Arch. This is a big burger - two 4 ounces…read morebeef patties, 3 slices of white cheddar cheese, small crispy onion pieces, chopped white onion, lettuce, pickles, and the Arch Sauce. This is not an inexpensive sandwich, I paid $8.88 for it! This sandwich just did not come together for me - a plus here and there, but not enough to elevate this item. While the crispy onion pieces added some texture and taste, the pieces often fell out of the burger. The lettuce was thinly shredded and quickly became soggy and a distraction. There was too much raw onion, again hard to keep in the sandwich, flavor was strong. The sauce was a simple combination of ketchup with a lesser amount of mustard. It really didn't bring much to the overall taste. Overall, this was a fail, and a big one, I think. The Whopper is even more ahead of what is on McDonald's menu now!

SPECIAL GRINCH MEAL EDITION…read more Dinner idea because, well, the Grinch Meal. Arrived about 6:150m and the drive through line was to the parking lot entrance already. Wife had an idea for her to run in and get the meals instead. Bad idea. A friend of ours was in line inside for 20 minutes and hadn't had a chance to order yet. She told my wife we were better off in the drive through line. So I circled around, picked her up and got back in line. 20 minutes later we were able to order our Grinch Meals. We got served very soon after that. PROPS TO THE MCDONALDS STAFF The person taking orders and taking payment were as nice as could be. In a very hectic and chaotic dinner rush, they maintained their composure and sense of honor. They kept laughing how crazy it was for the Grinch Meal. THE MEAL We both got the 10-piece nuggets (Big Mac is also an option) and diet cokes. Order was fresh , hot and as ordered. Came with Grinch salt (pickle flavor) and a sealed plastic bag with mystery socks. The nuggets and fries were as expected, consistent. I tried the Buffalo Ranch sauce which was very good. The pickle salt is . Delicious sprinkled in both the nuggets and fries. I heard of people using the salt on microwave popcorn with delicious success. So if you have extra packets, save it! We each got different socks which were passed to our daughter. VERDICT ALL IN ALL it was a little adventure going through the entire process. From the drive through to the finished meal, it was a small thing we could share as a family and have a good laugh about it down the road. The socks and salt made it worth it. I'd call before going to make sure they still have the Grinch Meals if that's why you are going. It seems to be very popular.
