While they say they have gluten free options, its just the seasoning thats applied. The food options we chose were cooked well and had good flavor. AND the rolls that were brought out were like pillows of deliciousness. If they had used those rolls for their burger, my review would be much better. But overall I would return. Many have said it reminds them of an old pizza hut and they are correct. But its very clean inside.

It's gotta be the steaks that keep this place in business! Have you ever been to a potluck where…read moreyou didn't really know anyone, there wasn't much of any type of vibe, and there wasn't much of any sort of interior decorating that was interesting to look at even for a few seconds? Where you just kinda went, ate, and left without a sense of satisfaction? That's this place. I've lived in Etown for 7 1/2 years and I've probably been to Christopher's four times--long enough between each visit to forget why it's been so long since I've eaten here. I had the 12 oz Ribeye, which was sooooooo good!! Medium well with just enough seasoning that I forgot I asked the waitress to leave the A1!! The baked potato, however, was bland and dry, but maybe that's my fault and I should have asked for additional butter. And I don't know WHY that coleslaw had the funky flavor it had, but it certainly didn't excite my tastebuds the way coleslaw usually does! It tasted like cardboard. I should have listened to that little voice in my head telling me to get the fries! Like I said, the steak was bomb, but the rest was buns. In the future, I hope I don't say to myself, "Gee, I haven't eaten at Christopher's in so long, I have forgotten what it's like. I better find out." Nothing outstanding about the service, but nothing to gripe about either. The three employees we interacted with were nice.

I had the green beans and mashed potatoes with dark gravy. Gravy was a showstopper as well as the meatloaf. Hubby had the same with rice but added a side of greens which were outstanding! Only one problem was that we're not in town long enough to enjoy her food again and again!

Three of us came here for a late lunch so it was not very busy…read more My daughter has been here many times but this was my first time. I'm glad my daughter was with me because there was no instructions or help navigating how their system works. The restaurant is not real large and there are tables only. They can accommodate a large group. One came in while we were there. You go up to the counter and tell them what you want and they make the plate for you. I chose the beef stew with field peas, mashed potatoes and cabbage. It came with cornbread too. The beef was delicious, tender and seasoned well. The field peas were awesome, the cabbage just average. The cornbread was dry but was good with the cabbage. I got sweet tea to drink and it was good. Our different choices were meatloaf and Mac and cheese . I tasted the meatloaf and it was outstanding! I hope they have it next time we come. I also learned after I ate that you can get fried chicken. I would love to try that. I think one of our group would have ordered it if we had known. Service was average and the place was clean. I am sure we will be back.

Bottom line: This visit to Melton's for takeout has some disappointments in an extremely long wait…read moreand fries being a bit mushy when eaten. The burger itself with mustard, slaw, chili did the trick and was pretty good. The Deets: I've had a few experiences with Melton's in Elizabethtown, the majority of which have been breakfast biscuits/sandwiches. They have been enjoyable in past visits. We decided this year when coming home from the beach and passing through E'town to grab some lunch to go at Melton's. I have to say, this visit did not hold up to past visits. When going in, it pretty much is what you would expect from a fast food type restaurant. Beyond the usual lit up menu over the ordering counter/register, there are a lot of printed paper items taped up all around as well, looking like they were possibly printed from an inkjet printer. We had a few customers in front of us that ordered then we placed our order to go, then waited. And waited. Yes, waited more. It was a long time, very much more than expected. I'm not sure what took so long, not only for us but other people that were waiting around us. Upon receiving my hamburger with mustard, slaw, chili, hold the onions, I was hungry indeed. The burger itself was pretty good. However the fries, they were not done to a crispy finish on the outside and were rather, mushy, in texture is the only word I can find...a bit disappointing. Enjoying this burger, as well as figuring good visits in the past, but disappointed by the very long wait and the fries not being crispy on the outside, I have to go 3 stars this time.

I didn't personally eat here but I was with two employees that did and they swear by those subs. If…read moreI wasn't on a diet I would have ate one so fast. I have never saw such a beautiful chicken sandwich, let alone sub. They take their fried chicken and put it on the hoagie roll. It was huge and both of the people I was with think they are absolutely Amazing. The pricing was unbelievable for the amount of food you get, too. They picked up so I didn't see the inherit of the place.

Let me start by saying--I'm not someone who looks to tear a business down. You can check my past…read morereviews and see that. But this was hands down the worst sushi I've ever had... and I'm not even sure it qualifies as sushi. I started with the gyoza (dumplings), and honestly--they were excellent. Easily top 3 I've ever had. That got me excited for the sushi. Then the rolls came out. They were massive, piping hot, drenched in a brown sauce, and topped with what they called "spicy crab." First bite? Complete shock. It was still hot and had this strange, almost chemical oil taste. I didn't spit it out out of respect for the people sitting nearby, but it was bad. I tried a second roll thinking maybe it was just that one--but nope, same exact taste. This time I had to grab a napkin and spit it out. At that point, I asked for a drink refill just to get the taste out of my mouth and debated saying something--but honestly, I didn't feel like dealing with the back-and-forth of explaining that the food was basically inedible. I asked for the check and left after only one bite of each roll. For reference, the rolls were the "Caroline" and the one right above it on the menu. I'd strongly recommend staying away from their sushi--period. Ended up going next door to Cracker Barrel just to salvage the night.

Location: ** Cleanliness: * Service: **** Food: ** Walking in there were four or five tables piled with dirty dishes and no body was working on clearing them.

Right away, the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming--exactly what you need when you've driven 3 hours to get here. The kids were restless and hungry. The space isn't overly fancy, but it's comfortable and casual, which worked perfectly for our group who each sat in a car for over 3hrs. Jess drove drown from Washington, NC and we drove up 3hrs from Hanahan,SC.We needed to stretch our legs and he kids needed to exit the car. No one made us feel rushed, and that alone earns big points when you're juggling babies and diaper bags. This is where Veracruz was a lifesaver, it was our first time here. The menu is packed with authentic options--tacos, fajitas, seafood, and house specials--and everything we tried tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos were a standout--juicy, packed with meat, and served with that a cooked onion and jalapeño peppers, sliced cucumbers. Jenn ordered a beautiful chicken taco salad (lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, shredded cheese and grilled chicken breast), the 2 older kids each had a 3 chicken tenders and french fries platter, Jess and Matt ordered the Fajita Lunch#3- Shrimp & Steak fajitas with sauted onions and peppers and a side of yellow rice w/ refried beans and a side salad. We ordered 3 Tamarindo Jarritos and 1 coke. The Portions were generous and the food was very tasty. Even our 2 super picky eaters found something they liked--always a win with kids. Auntie Jess blessed her nephew and nieces with toys so they were fully satisfied and quiet for at least 10 minutes--that says everything. No one left hungry and only 1 meltdowns at the table. Yes, the 4 month old!!! Cindy was our waitress amd she was solid--kind and engaging. Our food came out hot and relatively quick, which is critical when kids are involved. Orders were accurate, and everything felt freshly made rather than rushed. Garnished with fresh, colorful produce. If you're traveling through Lumberton or just need a reliable spot for a big family meal, Veracruz delivers: 5/5 Authentic flavors 5/5 Generous portions 5/5 Family-friendly atmosphere 5/5 Low Prices It's not about white tablecloths--it's about good food, full bellies, and a table full of family, and this place was a perfect setting for an impromptu family reunion. I recommend!
