    Christo's Special
    Anita W.

    Christo's is a hit or miss. Miss if you get the pizza buffet. Pizza is on the rubber side. Their crust is probably the only good thing about it. But even though they have different pizzas to choose from, it all taste the same. Greasy and bland. Salad bar isn't too bad. When ordering the buffet, you can a choice of pasta on the side as well. It's just spaghetti noodles with red sauce, white sauce, or Mac and cheese sauce. My hits are their wings or a sub on pita bread. Wings are huge and has that perfect crisp to it. Although the hot sauce can be a little too vinegary, it's always hot and fresh! Since I've ordered a steak and cheese, or any sub on pita instead of regular bread.. I haven't gotten it any other way! Taste so much better! Their Christo's special, the way it comes, is probably the only one I get on regular bead.. and that's really good too! No matter what time of the day, you can find the parking lot full of cars! They stay busy, so more at dinner time. The wait staff and the cooks are doing a great job keeping everything in line. May take a minute, but they know what their doing!

    When we came in for lunch, I saw that the buffet was closed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Okay, cool. I like the food here, we'll sit down anyway. Very much calls to mind the Brick Oven Pizzeria in Clemmons, only not as much of a wait. Anywho, my husband and I were seated and our waitress, a lady with dirty blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, green eyes and hoop earrings, recommended me the cheese steak stromboli, which was majorly delicious, dudes. I'm not even kidding. It was so worth the wait (which really wasn't all that long), and I wasn't even the least bit upset about the buffet not being available. This place has been a favorite of ours for a few years now, and we're only just coming back after a while. Next time, I would love to try the carbonara.

    I had passed by this restaurant a few times this week, and decided to go for the lunch buffet. Didn't read anything about the place, so I was guessing it was a local diner type place. I was seated and the friendly server mentioned the $6.99 buffet with salad, pizza, and spaghetti. The spaghetti is not on the buffet, but is brought to your table with your choices of sauce. Salad portion had a pretty good variety of toppings. Pizza selection was ample, including dessert pizzas. This wasn't great pizza, it was good. Crusts seemed to be possibly overcooked a bit. For the price a very good value. As an out of towner I did notice a couple of things that had nothing to do with the food. The exterior had red and green in the colors but the business logo is a buffalo head with wings. So . . . is this place Italian or a sports bar with wings? The place had three tv sets and all were placed above the buffet table. Nothing wrong with that, just a little different than I had seen any other place. I also noticed a lot of "no" signs: no buffet Friday night, no reservations Friday or Saturday, no sharing of the buffet, no buffet take out, etc. Removing the "no" comments and replacing them with better worded policy statements would be much more professional and positive.

    What a miserable, disappointing dining experience lunch was here today, and on all levels. We were looking forward to finally trying this place after eating at Milos in Thomasville a while back - same concept (pizza buffet with salad bar), same pedigree, totally different outcome. The service was as bad as we've experienced in a long time. The waitresses were all clumped up at a booth in the back of the restaurant, totally absorbed in personal matters and chatter. They reluctantly tore themselves away when forced to to deal with a customer. When we arrived there was only one couple in the restaurant, and of course, the "hostess" promptly lead us to the table next to them. After placing our drink order, we moved to another area of the restaurant. The pizza buffet was not setup and we were told it would be a few more minutes. We started with the salad bar, which was a pretty nice one, though the only green thing was iceberg lettuce. We finished our salad and waited on the pizza and our spaghetti, which is included in the buffet price. We did at least get our drinks refilled - yeap, we'd been there long enough to empty them. Finally, the pizzas were brought out. We sampled about 5 or 6 kinds, and were very much underwhelmed. Other than a stuffed pizza and a veggie, the slices all looked alike, they all tastes alike - the toppings less than fresh, the cheese cooked to the point of thin leather, all dripping grease everywhere. It is a good thing the lunch buffet is cheap ($6.99) because the pizza is awful. We never saw our waitress again, never were served our spaghetti, never saw a single smile from any employee, never heard a thank you, never even received an acknowledgement when we told the "hostess" we'd never got the spaghetti, nor did we have a check for the meal - from the look on her face it was obvious that I had her confused with someone who gave a damn. No need to ask if we'll be back.

I'm always on the hunt for the best club sandwich, and I can honestly say this was THE BEST club sandwich I've EVER had! It was so beautifully presented, it almost looked fake, but it was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Pick 3 appetizers and loved the fried mushrooms, southwest egg rolls, and bagel bites, and we had a burger too! We're so happy we found this place and can't wait to come back. 10/10!

This looks like a little hole-in the-wall type of place, so I should've known it would be great! We got hotdogs all the way with no onions, I think they called them "regular." We also got fries and drinks. It was about $24 total, which isn't terrible compared to other hotdog places in the area. Everything was served piping hot and the hotdogs I would argue are my favorite of any in the area. They are a red hotdog and the white slaw and chili are almost sweet. It reminds me of the hotdogs I grew up eating at a local drive in restaurant back where I'm from. It is a walk-up stand and you're served at a window but you can take your food back to your car and eat in the air conditioning or take it back home with you. The lady taking orders was managing phone orders and in person orders while fixing drinks and calling customers up to get their food. I loved my visit to this little place and I'm going to definitely keep it in mind for lunches in the near future. Can't wait to go back soon!

Bridgett chatted us up all night and was genuinely interested in learning about us big city folks. Man, I have to say...it's been a while since I've had someone come up to me and be so curious about meeting someone who grew up and lives in NYC (because everyone does these days, right?), and it was nice to have that raw curiosity again. Her radiant energy is so damn infectious. Her food is prepared with passed-down recipes from her grandmother. Portions are massive and that is not an understatement. We all got plates with 2 sides and bread and even with our big appetites, most of us only got through halfway or a little more.

    This really isn't like me, but I'm writing this on a Saturday morning and my bride and I have just…read moreagreed that we are heading back to Thunder Road Grill for the third Saturday in a row! You have to understand, that I am a total burger snob. As a reference point, my favorite burger in the Piedmont Triad is Hops Burger Bar in Greensboro, and I'll drive the 20 miles and stand around waiting on a table for 30 minutes, at the first suggestion, no questions asked. Also way up there is/was Big Burger Spot, but they've now slipped into third place since Guy is no longer the owner and overseer and now that I've had the burgers at Thunder Road. First off, they will cook your burger to your desired doneness. For me, that's the minimum standard that a burger joint has to meet, and my medium-rare burgers have been spot-on every time. From there, the buns, the topping, the sides have always been fresh, tasty and again, done to order to meet my picky requests! "Can I get those tots crispy?" "Since I haven't tried it, can you put that sauce on the side?" "Can you cook that bacon crispy but not burnt?" Each request was met with something like a "You bet!" and the execution of the request was perfect. I really like that each table is equipped with a roll of paper towels and several condiments including the local Texas Pete, as well as salt, pepper, and some form of seasoning salt. Often when I see these things on tables in diners they are grimy and the table beneath then is sticky and dirty, but they make an extra effort to keep them clean and well stocked. For example, last week I grabbed the red bottle of Heinz ketchup, expecting that I would need to request a swap with a full bottle, but no, it was totally full! Just like when I was a kid, I love crunchy potato chips on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and I like fries with my ketchup! Let's face the facts that one of these days I'm bound to be disappointed in something, but from what I can see from the friendly and attentive staff, it's going to something I can overlook or that they'll be willing to address. Oh, that reminds me about the bathrooms! I often dread entering the men's room in a one-off diner or pub, but I was elated to find a clean and fresh smelling space that was well lit and well supplied. They've won us over. Last Saturday we bought three of our granddaughters, and today will be joined by my sister and brother-in-law, who are also locals and bound to become fans of Thunder Road Grill! As I re-read this before posting it, I wonder, why do I leave good reviews for places that I don't want to see become crowded and popular? Sometimes I question my sanity! Be sure to say howdy to me if we run into each other. And Fred B, I think you need to give them one more try.

The bacon was thick and had just a slight chew to it. Just the right amount of mayo and tomatoes cut to a good thickness. Hot dog was pretty great. They put a real generous amount of mustard *under* the frank then topped with chili and a nice creamy slaw. If the bun had been toasted it would have been darn near perfect.
