Our seats were in the main dining area, which is an absolute feast for the eyes. The area was super busy and crowded but you'd never know it because everything just flowed, like a well oiled machine. The food is EXCELLENT! We got a little bit of everything but the highlights were the Short Rib Sliders - popular at our table, and the small plates. The Blue Crab dip was very good and so was the arancini!

Tonight, I ordered a featured entre, Portuguese Duck Rice with the Baked Alaska for dessert. This saffron rice dish featured wood-fire smoked duck , smoked sausage, rich duck broth, carrots, and leeks. The depth of flavor in this dish was amazing! Everything was just right with it, except I wanted more! I will have to come back and get this again. This was also my first Baked Alaska. Front eh creamy meringue to the deep chocolate flavor of the cake to the cherry vanilla ice cream, this dessert was a very pleasant experience. I recommend both!

Greatest decision we made all evening, no wait at all. Huge shout out to Jacob! He was hustling like no other behind the bar. Slinging drinks left and right, making us amazing cocktails without missing a beat. Checked on us all night, cracked some jokes and made it a pleasurable experience from start to finish. Thank you! We ordered our favorite app, the ahi poke nachos with crispy wontons. And then I had the triple decker club with sweet potato fries while my wife opted for Renee's Special (half sandwich, soup and a salad combo). Everything came out hot and fresh and super quick. Given our experience last time, we were very pleasantly surprised. Definitely not something we were expecting at the height of dinner on a very busy Saturday evening. Thank you to the front and back staff (especially Jacob!) for a great evening.

Crab dip - very cheesy - cucumber slices reduces the greasiness , a nice touch. Truffle fries - a bit on the greasy side but very good. I loved fried catfish. Tender inside and corn meal was very rich. Perfectly cooked French beans. Also tried fried chicken - one if the best I've had. Flavorful and Everyone loved their food. Also had deserts - didn't take a pic though. Flourless chocolate cake taste similar to the brownie. Overall - nice env for a good southern meal.

There were several people in front of us when we arrived, but they kept the line moving, and got people served quickly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, though the outdoor patio is in the middle of the parking lot. They offer a huge selection of cakes, cupcakes, pies and more to pick from, pricing is fair, and slices are generous. Picking just 1 slice of cake each was the hardest part of the visit. I went with red velvet, and my wife went with a slice of butter pecan. Both were fantastic, very moist, and flavorful, both layered with delicious frosting. We got our slices to go, and enjoyed them over 2 nights! This is a Greensboro gem, and a must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!

I have been wanting to try this place out and finally got the chance! The workers were very…read morefriendly and helped walk me through the menu since it was my first time. After ordering, it took maybe 5 minutes to get our food which felt decent for the fresh food! There was a steady flow of to-go orders so it seems to be a popular spot. I ordered the Popper Topper Burger, although I do get the jalapeños on the side. I was expecting a little bit more to be honest. It was cheesy and delicious, but the patty itself was lacking any flavor. This was shocking because the menu described it to be "Cajun seasoned" but it felt very plain. The fries were my favorite part by far!!! Unlike other places, this had plenty of toppings. Normally, once you eat the top layer the underside is dry. Not here! I was covered in cheese sauce by the end of the meal. If you're in the mood for some really good fries, definitely check it out!

This location of Big Burger Spot is tucked away by a dingy looking gas station, in a parking lot…read moreyou'll almost miss as you drive past the adjacent Walmart entrance. While the exterior is a far cry from the "vibrant patio" the restaurant description promises, the interior opens into a clean, bright space, which is more spacious than one might expect. On the front counter you will see an artistically designed menu board, depicting the many creative offerings available here. When I invited my coworkers to join me here for lunch, 2 immediately began ardently affirming my choice, regretful they could not join me but promising I would love it. In this moment, vague memories of them talking about this "really good burger place at the gas station" for months on end began to come back to me, as I realized they had been indirectly recommending it for a while. On the other hand, my 3rd coworker, who was in a separate room and had not heard their high praises, told me that it was "overrated" and "fine but not that special." Lol. Needless to say, I had absolutely no idea what to make of it all when I arrived. When I walked in, the woman behind the counter asked if I had ever been there, before patiently walking me through the various sections of the menu and helping me pick something out. I settled on the Popper Topper, which promised Cajun spices and fried jalapeño coins, among other various toppings. At its smallest size (big), it only cost $10.99. I also ordered bacon and cheddar fries. My initial impressions upon receiving my food (quite quickly, I might add) is that 1) the restaurant's name is perfect and 2) this is a very good quantity per dollar and an absolutely absurd calorie per dollar meal, especially in 2025. For right at $20, I got a huge burger and enough fries to satiate 2-3 people. I cannot fathom what the larger burger sizes look like, much less who could possibly be ordering them. The fries were everything I could have asked for -- crispy, salty, and with a very generous amount of both cheddar sauce and bacon (the perfect amount to have sauce on every bite but not be soggy). The burger was good, and definitely satisfied that primal craving for salt and fat that we all carry with us from hunter-gatherer days gone by. However, I wouldn't say it was particularly spicy, nor did its flavor deviate significantly from any generic burger I could order. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, but I was a little disappointed. I think that the fried jalapeño coins are breaded a little on the thicker side, which somewhat mutes the spice and slight acidity that they would otherwise add to this dish, to help cut through and brighten the other flavors. All in all, I had a great meal and would totally come back, but I don't think I've tried the "perfect" burger from here yet. Definitely going to recommend this to anyone in the area.

Our server was able to take our order quickly and it did take longer than expected for the food to come out. Also, we were seated pretty close to where they were running food so it was a high foot traffic area. I really loved the veggie burger. It was so much better than your boring, generic veggie patty. I could have that veggie burger every day. My fries did come out cold, but they were able to bring me some hot fries. Also, fun fact, the pinball museum, which is just a couple doors down has a special deal for people who are waiting for their table at hops so they can pass the time that they're waiting by playing some pinball. Super cute idea to do a date that involves pinball and hops in my opinion! Even though my last visit wasn't perfect, this place is reliably good and I would definitely recommend it.

Tonight was finally the evening when we were able to go, despite a bit of a waitlist still (45 minutes). The hostess was on point with her estimate and also very quick to get us seated within the promised time frame. I also found out they offer reservations, so we will use that option loving forward. First of all-service was excellent. Our waiter came to the table within a moment of being seated to get started with waters and non-alcoholic options, and was quick to check back up on us and see if we were ready or had questions. He made several great recommendations on both food and drinks. My only caveat was that my 10 oz steak was a bit on the salty side, but this may be due to the aging process. It was cooked to a beautiful medium per my request, and both my sides (asparagus and loaded baked potato) were yummy, well cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband got a pasta with pancetta and caramelized onions, and it was absolutely delicious. Suggested wines were paired well with both entrees. We opted to get a few more drinks with dessert, and both were also very good. The bartenders are not stingy in their pours! We also split the butter cake for dessert and I will say that Paula Dean would have been proud of that cake. It was melt-in-your mouth richness paired with a slightly tangy fruit sauce, fresh berries and a tasty vanilla ice cream. The restaurant as a whole was well set up, with multiple types of seating and a large bar area. Decor was well placed and there was enough room to walk through without feeling crowded, despite how busy it was. We will absolutely be back!
