    Best Chinese in town! Pretty consistent food and that is what I like about it. Great selection and the staff are quick to seat you.

    First things first: be prepared to spend some money…read more Second: do not expect fine dining. You can spend the same amount at places like Ruth's Chris, Sullivan's, or Angus Barn and get nicer décor and a more polished atmosphere. If you come to Beefmastor Inn expecting an upscale experience, you'll likely be disappointed -- and you'll probably complain about the tight seating, the long wait, the plastic tablecloths, or the iceberg lettuce. That said, Beefmastor has a charm that's hard to deny -- even if it can feel off-putting at first. The place is small and spartan. On busy nights, you will wait. You might end up seated near the bathroom. It's not intimate, and it's not glamorous. What it is, however, is the polar opposite of pretentious. Every inch of the place feels like old-school North Carolina: cinderblock walls, checkered plastic tablecloths, cottage cheese and raisins on the salad bar. The food is straightforward and unembellished. To be honest, I've had better steaks. I ordered the 10 oz., and it was a bit inconsistent -- velvety in parts, gristly in others, and slightly under-seasoned. But what I appreciated most was the feeling of stepping into a time machine. It felt like a snapshot of a different era -- before towns like Wilson faded and before chain restaurants took over every strip mall. Beefmastor Inn isn't perfect. My meal wasn't perfect. The service wasn't perfect. And it's not cheap. Still, I genuinely enjoyed the experience, and I think it's worth visiting at least once. If you have boomer family members, I can almost guarantee they'll absolutely love it.

    Is it worth the hype? Yes. The formula is simple: salad, ribeye steak, baked potato, and grilled…read morebread. The owner comes to your table with a giant slab of raw meat, you pick your ribeye size and temperature, make yourself a salad from the bountiful salad bar, and then you sit for the magic that awaits. I was expecting a good steak. I was not expecting a transcendent moment where it was just me and this gloriously marbled steak. Every perfectly cooked and well seasoned bite was better than the next. I almost forgot about the fluffy baked potato which was also great, but boy oh boy, the steak. Delicious. All the staff were super attentive; I don't think my sweet tea ever made it to half full. It was worth the hype and the hour long drive to Wilson, NC.
