If you're coming from a big city this place is going to feel like a steal. Two adults can enjoy a great dinner for under $50. All of their chicken plates and sandwiches are amazing. My wife loves their beet salad. I have to say though that I think this place just might offer the best BLT sandwich on the face of the earth. Service is great and everything is clean. I'm sad that we'll only be in the area for another few weeks. If I lived here all year round this would definitely be our date spot and go to "we're hungry" place to get lunch or dinner.

I really wanted to like this place because the presentation of the food matched what you would…read moreexpect from a traditional North Carolina-style restaurant. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was very disappointing. I ordered burger steak with slaw, mashed potatoes, and gravy, while my sons ordered hamburgers. The meat in both meals felt extremely crumbly, almost as if it contained a large amount of breadcrumbs and very little actual meat. The flavor was far from what you would expect from quality beef and honestly tasted like everything except real meat. The mashed potatoes and gravy were average at best, and even the coffee tasted extremely weak, almost like flavored water. The only item I genuinely liked was the coleslaw. The wait staff were polite and genuinely tried to make the experience pleasant, which I appreciate. However, people primarily visit restaurants for the food, and sadly that was the weakest part of the experience at Small Town Kitchen in Cherryville. On a scale from 0-10, where 10 is excellent, I would honestly give the experience a 1, mainly because the coleslaw was decent. I hope the restaurant improves the quality of its meat and overall food preparation because the location itself has potential.

The hostess and our waitress were incredibly friendly, and we shared plenty of laughs--she truly made the experience even more enjoyable. Then came the highlight of the meal: the burger. Simply put, it was the best burger I've ever had. Having lived in New York, Florida, and Colorado, I've tried my fair share of burgers, and this one stands above the rest. After my first bite, I turned to my friend and said, "I think I'm in heaven!" It was that good. I rarely eat red meat, but I'm already thinking about when I can go back--maybe even tomorrow. Everything we ordered was excellent--the beer, the salad, the perfectly crispy fries--but the burger was truly exceptional. This is easily a five-star experience.

Ben & I needed to be in Cherryville for a friends event that started at 2p so we stopped here for…read morelunch beforehand. It was about 115p and it was busy on a Saturday January afternoon. We decided to sit at the bar since there was hardly anyone there and there were some basketball games on. We got service quickly & Ben ordered the hot chicken sammie with a side salad, I ordered the house salad with grilled chicken. We should have said something when we ordered about being on the clock but it was 130p before we got our food. I asked the waitress/bartender how things were going and she said "I don't know, I've not been to the kitchen". It was about 5 more minutes before the food came out and we were watching the clock closely and Ben said we were about 5 minutes away from where we ended to be. We knew we needed to eat quickly even though we were just about 5 minutes away. Ben's chicken was just huge chunks that looked more like nuggets than slices of chicken. He said it was OK. My salad was OK, they didn't have iceberg lettuce it was only romaine even though I told her I would like the mix, I didn't get it. I don't know what that's such a hard ask.
