    This was my first time in. A lot of things looked good on menu. I got the Thai beef salad cooked medium. It was a very plentiful salad. However, I do wish there was more sauce in it. There was a peanut sauce, but I would've liked something of more like an Asian tasting sauce. The service was good. We started outside and were able to move inside when it started raining. Our drinks were refilled a lot. I will definitely come back here and try other things. There is a gravel a parking lot.

    This place was awesome! Has a nice interior and little patio on the side for nice weather. The cocktails are delicious and well priced. The staff are super attentive. For my sandwich I asked them for a recommendation for a dipping sauce and they brought me four different sauces! So kind. The food was so good and decently priced and came out quickly. I 100000000% will be back!

    Fishbones is a good late night spot. They have cheap beers and a number of options available for seafood and non seafood eaters. I loved the rooster sauce. The fish and chips were plentiful and came with corn and slaw. Prices are fair. Staff was nice and engaging. This would be nice for a first date. My friends order was wrong but everyone else was satisfied with the experience.

    A great place to have a cold beer and some sold food...better quality and variety than you probably would expect. Their wings have a Thai flair with hint of lemongrass that is excellent. The twisted chicken has an excellent flavor and heat profile. The cooping is excellent and not something you might think they would have. Wonderful flavor, fresh sea food and great bread for the broth! Lastly, their version of friend oysters are excellent. Great food, comfortable environment, friendly service and a comfortable environment. Give it a try!

    Found on yelp - giving it a try as we are exploring places in Greensboro. We went early before noon - not many people yet Thai clam - different from what we thought but a very nice surprise- flavorful and very fresh. Fried oyster - light batter and fried just right so it's juicy and crunchy. My son loved the steak burrito - sizable and flavorful The jumbo shrimp is definitely big - side of sweet potatoes tots finish the dish. Nc catfish - taste good but we can use another filet Overall decent flavors.

    Today was only my second time here and I asked myself why I don't eat here more often! I love the location right in the hub of walker avenue. The staff were attentive and quick. It is a small charming place that the worn wood look inside reminds me of a cozy fishing dock. The food was AMAZING! I have been craving a rare tuna sandwich and boy did they deliver. It was fresh and sooooooo delicious!!! The cocktail they served me was exactly what I needed after a long shift. I will absolutely be back and recommend others check them out too! They have weekly specials that are amazing, and their bar is nothing to ignore!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, you cannot find a better filet mignon dinner in NC for the price. Pre COVID the filet with 2 sides was $15. It's now $24 but we'll worth it. My wife and I usually split the 6oz filet that comes with huge portions of 2 sides. We regularly go with the sweet potato tots and blackened green beans. Everything here is worthy of a much higher price. The quality of their food is exceptional. Also, tell me where else on the planet you can get a 20oz draft of craft beer for $6. The parking can be difficult behind the restaurant but just park to the side of Suds n Duds and walk across the street. I promise you that this will be your new favorite to go place.

    If I lived in the area, I would be a regular! I could see myself hanging out with friends or going by myself with a good book. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere. The servers were attentive and genuinely friendly. I had and loved the fried bologna sandwich with fries and my partner had the freid catfish. Yep, I am a fan!

    I come here from time to time and generally end up ordering one (or more) of the specials. Couldn't decide this time so I ordered everything that appealed to me. The grouper fingers were bland, just tasted like fried panko. The sauce didn't help. The salt & pepper catfish along with the beans and rice was very good. The lemon pepper wings with garlic herb butter was amazing!! The garlic wasn't overpowering and it had the perfect crispness. I wasn't expecting it to have a bit of heat/spice but it was perfect. I would definitely eat the last 2 again!! No pics of the wings because I demolished them at home.

    Shrimp & Grits

    When I order takeout, I normally don't review the place because I didn't stay there long enough to get the whole experience but I can tell you, hands down, this was one of the best takeout experiences I've had in a while. I love how the place is so local to greensboro and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is in town or visiting. I always drove past and saw people on the patio sitting talking and enjoying their lunch and a few weeks ago, I found out why. Here's their secret: the staff is seriously really friendly. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and asked if I needed to be helped, they had a sense of urgency and welcomeness that I really appreciated. The food was a 10/10 for sure! I got the shrimp and grits which was really delicious and my side was the asparagus which I was not expecting to be smoked but it was really delicious nonetheless. The expediency and delivery of my dinner was commendable and I will defiantly dining soon to enjoy the full experience.

    Middleneck clams

    We were driving through Greensboro and Fishbones looked like a great place to stop for a late lunch on a Sunday. It's seat yourself and had a great casual vibe to it. The menu had a great variety and they clearly listed their specials on the boards around the biz. They had indoor and outdoor seating, it was way too hot for us to eat outside so indoor it was. I got the crab soup which was delicious and had tons of crab in it. I was especially impressed that the price was so reasonable at only $5. We also went with a dozen of the middleneck clams and the catfish bites special of the day. Everything came out pipping hot and fresh. The clams had a great flavor to the broth and came with huge hunks of bread. My husband had ordered extra bread since he didn't realize bread already came with the dish. I wish the waitress would have told us that, but nonetheless their ciabatta was tasty. The catfish bites were super flavorful and a great dish to share. Service was friendly and prices for seafood were super reasonable. We would definitely go back if we were in the area.

From the moment we walked in the decor and overall vibe felt like stepping back in time in a good way. You can tell a lot of thought went into the place without it feeling overdone. Service was top tier. Alejandra took care of us and knew the menu inside and out without sounding scripted or fake attentive like some places do. I got the salmon and yeah... ridiculous. The gravy alone could've been its own menu item. I was two seconds away from licking the plate. Only complaint is I wish the portions were a little bigger because the food was that good.

For my main I ordered the avocado bacon toast. I loved it! They use a thick piece of texas toast and poached eggs with a side of greek yogurt, berries and honey. Yum! My husband got the duck burger and loved it! It came with a creamy side of mashed potatoes. We will be back as this has always been a great place to eat in GSO!

Dodging a huge rainstorm we decided to sit at the bar and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We sampled a beer or two before deciding on a couple suds and the poutine appetizer while we decided on the main event. The place was fairly busy and they do have a decent outdoor patio also. It's a chill, hole in the wall, neighborhood watering hole type of place. We chatted with a few locals and my wife and I enjoyed the atmosphere. They had some great beers on tap including several from Foothills brewery and also full liquor bar to send a few rounds for any occasion. I settled on the Mad Haddock (I know who orders the fish at a burger place) and my lady had French onion burger. The deep fried asparagus was a playful side that was memorable. We both really enjoyed the choices. The fries could've been more crisp but overall they were passable. The haddock sandwich was incredible and that tartar sauce was incredible. The sandwich was one of those that you don't put down after a few bites. I enjoyed the food, friendly service and conversation with locals. They recommended a bottle shop connected to a laundromat not far away but we had to get back on the road. If you are in the Greensboro area Hops Buworth a stop for happy hour, lunch or dinner.

It's a great little restaurant with a fun atmosphere and great music. We started with the Fried Goat Cheese Balls and the Fried Cauliflower, and both were excellent. The goat cheese balls were crispy on the outside and creamy inside, while the cauliflower was perfectly fried and packed with flavor. I ordered the Jalapeño Popper Burger special, and it was phenomenal. Juicy, cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of heat and all the flavors you'd expect from a great jalapeño popper. Easily one of the better specialty burgers I've had. They also have a great beer and wine selection, which made it easy to find the perfect pairing with our meal. If you're traveling and looking for something far better than the usual fast food off the interstate, Hops Burger Bar is absolutely worth the quick detour. Great food, great service, and a place we'll make a point to stop at again the next time we're passing through.

If you hear "Michelin" and the only thing that comes to mind is tires.. This aint for you.

All 5 courses took about 3 hours. The Dueling Soms idea is great but I think the execution could be a little better. One of the Sommeliers was really bad about making her rounds so we didn't really hear why she paired the wine with the meal. Although when we did hear her explanations they were extremely superficial and seemed like she just picked random wines she liked. The other sommelier clearly put a lot of thought into the flavors of the wine and the meal. I don't recommend coming here hungry. The dishes are very small, but they were all pretty good. It's overall a pretty expensive experience and I probably wouldn't do it again, but it was fun to do once.

The menu reflects this with cocktails, wine and beer and the menu is extensive on the beverages! The food menu is terrific and has so much variety and some really nice plates small and large. It was a theater night when we went and we had a 7.30 show to goto and our server knew that. We got there at 5.30 so figured that gave us the 10 mins to walk to the theater to be on time. We started off with some drinks. My friend loved her cherry ale and I really enjoyed my G&T , the glass it came in was just so unusual. The G&T took awhile to finally make it to me but i loved it. We ordered the tuna tartare and that was delicious and served up with fried green tomatoes which was a different take on it. Nice and fresh and nicely presented. Our entrees were the salmon for my friend and I had the Bahn mi chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Usually this sandwich is with pork so I wanted to try this. The service for our dinner took almost 45 mins we had finished the app awhile back and my grind had another drink and still we were waiting. It was closing in on 6.50 Pm and at this point we would be inhaling our food when it came and rushing out the door . It came at 7pm and the sandwich was good but they should mention on the menu that it has mayonnaise on it as I don't like that but there was quite a bit on the bun. Not typically in this type of sandwich so I wasn't expecting it. The chicken was a good and flavorful and lots of other veggie fillings and the fries were great. My friend really enjoyed her salmon and the risotto it came with. Just disappointed we had to eat it all so quickly and leave some so we could pay and leave. We had our eye on the lemon posset tart for dessert but we didn't have time . We just thought since the server knew we had theater tickets she would have been more on top of it. Yes they were busy as it was a show night but the place wasn't totally full. Seemed like no urgency when we asked how long the food would be as we had to leave soon. I'd maybe try this place again on a non show night, as I thought they had a great menu. I enjoyed the place just not the service as we barely made the show before the lights went down.
