    Very good grill fare
    Karl K.

    O, little town of Bethlehem, what a great little grill you have. Though not actually located at a crossroads, the Crossroads Grill is a spartan cinderblock building located in a generally bucolic setting pretty much in the middle of nowhere between Taylorsville and Bethlehem, NC. But the locals know what is inside, and they descend upon it in droves to partake in the fresh grill fare and home made vittles found therein. I ordered a hot dog all the way, double cheeseburger, a side of slaw, and a sweet tea. Hot dog: very good all around. The wiener, which they split and grill, was very tasty. The chili had a good flavor but was a little dry. The slaw was excellent. It could have used more mustard and onions. The bun was toasted/grilled nicely. Cheeseburger: competent all around with beautifully melted cheese. The beef was a bit mild and could have used a bit more char. Slaw: excellent home made slaw. It was pretty wet, but this was fine in the bowl and was drained enough on the dog so that it did not ruin the bun. Sweet tea: just above average. It was good but could be a little stronger. The service was friendly, homey, and prompt. This is a neat little place that serves good grill food in a beautiful part of the state. Speaking of which, if you do make the journey out this way, it is worth a 30 or so minute drive to McGalliard Falls in Valdese, an impressive and beautiful waterfall for not being in the mountains. There are not a lot of waterfalls that you can easily access from top, bottom, and both sides. This is one.

    Mark's is such an amazing place if I could give it more than 5 stars I would that as a young child we grew up always so excited to eat when we came back to visit in my Mommas hometown- My son lives in Charlotte we just jump on 16 and head over for amazing bbq slaw hush puppies onion rings. We take a cooler and get some to take back home. Can't go wrong. Thanks to all the amazing sweet staff. Xoxo stay safe

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Now that was very unexpected, but I loved it. Multiple people stopped by our table to remove finished plates and check if we need anything. The place was like an upscale diner. Cloth napkins, but tvs showing football games. A nice bar, but they ran out of grenadine. No cherries in the Shirley temple. The mint julip was well made. Beef and vegetable soup was great, but the beef was burger. Not what I expected, but the fresh corn in it was wonderful. Black and blue filet salad was fantastic. They did not skimp on the blue cheese, it had spinach, kale, tomatoes and onion. My kiddo had the special, flounder and crab cakes. She said it was decent. Hubby lived the gumbo. I couldn't do 5 stars because the appetizer plates were dirty. All of them. All silverware and glasses were clean, but there was visible food residue on the appetizer plates and that's a big disappointment. To be honest, as someone who likes to eat fresh food, the salad was is definitely something I would recommend.

    We took a day off from work to spend some good quality time together. We were headed straight for…read moreone of our favorite restaurants in Blowing Rock and then on the way I said, nope, starting now we are venturing out more like we used to. New experiences this next year and starting now! I searched online while the hubby drove and came up with this spot. I ordered the three-meat plate which included two sides and hushpuppies, and my husband ordered the fish and chips (shocker-Brit!), which also included two sides of his choice. He raved about the piece of fish and after taking a bite, I had to agree. A nice thick piece and the breading was just right. Nice fries as well. I didn't try the beans but my husband enjoyed them. I wasn't as enamored with the meats I received. They were just ok as Q goes, lacking any smoke flavor or crunchy bits like I prefer. The sauces were delicious though and while I'm not usually much of a sauce person I enjoyed them and as a result enjoyed the meats. The slaw and collards I had were again just ok. Points for being house-made, but I adore cole slaw and this slaw is a bit dry and needs some oomph. A little Duke's and ACV would make this amazing. A nice crunch and chop is already there but I would tweak it a bit. The collards were cooked perfectly and tasty but again, ACV is needed. Maybe even just add it to the sauce mixes on the table, so folks can doctor their dishes if desired? Why a photo of the silverware you ask? I was so happy to get real silverware and heavy, substantial pieces! It elevates my experience, just me maybe. As I was grabbing a few more photos of the bistro I noticed a nice bourbon selection, and being a bourbon aficionado I had to get closer. I had a nice chat with the owner, who explained a special weekly event he does for folks to try some premium grade liquors at cost and even went on to explain that he makes most of his infusions and mixes in house. Big points for that. I only wish we didn't live over an hour away, but maybe we can get back for some cocktail events at some point. I would/will definitely return and try some other menu items. Service was great, cleanliness is clearly high on their list, and everyone was just super nice.
