    Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Jesus S.

    In the area hiking, and on the way back home, decided to stop at one of the local establishments to join an early dinner and some small town cooking. They have plenty of seating and the menu has lots and lots or choices. The prices are very affordable and the sides were plenty to choice from. We ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and Thursday's special (meatloaf). All the food was fresh, tasted great and the food came out immediately. Our server was Sabrina and she was absolutely amazing. If you're in the area absolutely want some good home cooking food then look no further. Countryside Barbecue is the spot for a delicious meal at a very affordable price. Can't wait to come back and try the Friday Country fried steak and BBQ Ribs.

    Pleasant surprise. My 1st pick for food ended up being closed when I got there, so I found this place in a hunger-fueled panic and I'm very happy I did. Being new to the area, I've been trying new restaurants all over with some good and some bad results but this is one of my top choices now. The server and the food were unbelievable, and I will be back many times now. Inside was a little old fashioned and it worked perfectly with the whole theme. I wouldn't change a thing. In fact, please don't change a thing. Especially the pulled pork and Mac n cheese.

    Been coming to this Marion staple for years. Consistently good BBQ and brisket when they have it. Service is always fast and friendly even when they are packed. Desserts are awesome too if you have any room to spare.

    When in North Carolina eat barbecue. We lucked out at this little roadside diner, as we were passing through. The food was so yummy. We had the brisket and the chopped pork barbecue. It was New Year's Day so we had to have black-eyed peas, but we also tried their mac & cheese, coleslaw, and the potato salad. Loved the potato salad, red potatoes, and all the right ingredients. Oh, and we of course, took the banana pudding to go...ate that later when we got in our room. So good!

    Very quick service and great location off of the interstate. Food came out quickly and tasted good! Affordable pricing. The slaw is to die for!

    Super busy with a short wait at 7pm on a weekday but at 7:30 there were a half-dozen empty tables. I arrived at just the tail end of the dinner rush. Friendly service from three different waitresses who took my order, brought my drink and kept it refreshed and another who cleared the plates and brought my check. Teamwork clearly visible and that meant I was never trying to hunt someone down for service. Excellent. I chose the "Smoked Chicken Half" which only took a couple of minutes before it was set down at the table. A nice portion and with two sides (most are potatoes, rice or beans that don't do well with a keto diet), it looked good. It was actually quite dry. Yes, I know smoked chicken is going to be a bit but this turned out tough and in desperate need of sauce. Maybe I didn't get a good one so I'd be willing to give them another try as the BBQ pulled pork plate that went to the next table over looked good. Service was great, the chicken was not. I'll say A-OK and come back the next time I'm passing through. [Review 12713 overall, 25 of 2020.]

    Great food, great staff. Delicious barbecue! Go Tuesday, Friday or Saturday for the ribs. Our favorite stop before getting to Asheville.

    Never again. Beans out a can, over cooked BBQ was so dry it was inedible. Left 90% of our meals on the table.

    Pretty good food, great service, but a tiny bit pricy considering there's a million other places selling the same type of food.

    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!

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]

    We stopped in here after a day of hiking and shopping and a crisp, cold beverage sounded heavenly…read more These are some of the friendliest bartenders I've ever encountered. We were greeted by every single one with a smile and happy energy, despite how busy the place was. There are so many times when you sit at a bar unnoticed and patiently wait for someone to look your way, but this was the opposite of that. Our drinks were ice cold and served super fast. We didn't try any food, but they do have a small menu of bar bites that sounded really good. My cider was crisp, and not too sweet. It seemed to be "the spot", because there were lots of people but we didn't have any trouble finding seating. Lots of people had their dogs with them, which is always a plus!! Overall a really nice vibe here!

It is very enjoyable to sit on the covered deck and enjoy the small stream that runs along the side of the brewery. There is parking across the street and in the field across the stream. There is some street upgrades in progress in front of the entrance that may limit access to the parking lot across the stream. These improvements should be completed soon. I highly recommend this business for a relaxing and enjoyable outing. I am sure you will be pleased with the experience.

Portions…read morewere big, service was great, and restaurant was spacious. 10/10 can't wait to come back again! Overall: 4.8/5 When: Friday 6pm dine in party of 2 Food: 4.9/5 - wow. I haven't had thai food this good in a long time. Thai Bliss is better than most place in Charlotte where I'm from. We got the shrimp tom yum soup, beef pad kee mao, and chicken pineapple fried rice. The tom yum soup was SO SO good. They gave me 4 large shrimp in there and did not skimp like other places. The soup had the perfect balance of spicy, sour, tangy and sweet. Honestly I was almost full after my soup but when my pad kee mao came out, i was thrilled with the portion size. The rice noodles were bouncy and chewy and the sauce was delicious. Some places overdo it on the sauce but the PKM was sooo good!! And lastly the pineapple fried rice. I didnt get a chance to try it but my partner loved his dish. Overall, the food here you can tell is authentic and fresh and you don't have to worry about small portions. You will leave feeling happy and full! Service: 4.7/5 - was greeted by a server as soon as we arrived. Service was very quick and they were on top of things. Filled the water often, bussed tables often, and brought the check over often. No issues at all, they were very prompt. One suggestion to make it 5 stars is giving recommendations to the guests such as "XYZ dish is a popular customer favorite here!" Or even giving a little background about the restaurant / staff. Vibe: 4.7/5 - very spacious, newer restaurant that is clean. Large windows letting in ample day light- i recommend asking for a seat by the windows if possible. Great spot for a quick casual dinner or even a nicer family dinner. Other: free surface lot parking

You can walk up the hill behind the restaurant if stairs are a problem. There is a side door you can enter through there. Once you are in the room is open and easy to navigate. I like the decor. The chairs are a bit hard but they put pillows on them to help, which is a very nice touch. Everything I have tried has been amazing. I have been here so many times now. Pineapple fried rice and broccoli and peanut stir fry are my go to orders, along with a basil roll as an appetizer that I could eat 20 orders of. I have not been disappointed. You know me and spice, these items are not spicy unless you ask for it. They have great spice level control. My sister in law likes spicy food, and she has tried the curries, the soups and the pad Thai. She keeps wanting to come back and always says how much she likes what she gets. Our first time there we spent way too much on trying almost every appetizer and several mains. We were impressed by all of it and came away so full because everything was so good we had to eat it. We have been pacing ourselves since then. Anytime someone says how about the Thai place? Our answer is Yes!
