Now called the 7 lakes cafe and the food is fabulous. Every day they have multiple specials that are great portions at a very reasonable price. Everything is scratch made and made to order exactly how you want it. The soups and desserts are exceptional. Candy and her family are doing a wonderful job keeping us all well fed in 7 Lakes! read more

GreeneBows's is under new ownership and is now 7 Lakes Cafe. It is unpretentious and simple food. Best of all the staff our all incredible. Your coffee cup is always full! They have a more expanded menu with plenty of daily specials. The portions are generous and the prices are quite good as well. I ordered off the lunch menu and my wife tried the breakfast. Here's where it did fall short. My wife's sausage patties were very thin, which was not a problem, but because of it they were quite overcooked. As well her eggs were over cooked but she still enjoyed her breakfast. My Rueben sandwich was overcooked as well and the corn beef was a tad bit tough and needed more thousand island on it. But the flavor was actually quite good. Would we rush back, probably not but we will try them again in the future. They are new and it takes time to get things perfect. Next time hopefully t will be a five star review. read more

Absolutely horrible. Breakfast was a disaster. Very uncomfortable booth seats. Eggs broken, bacon burned, hash browns burned and greasy. Coffee was passable but the cup had lipstick on the rim. NEVER, EVER again. read more

I moved away from the Sandhills with work to FL and MO, so it's been awhile since I have been to Greenebow's. It's just as good as the last time, to say it's a 5/5, solid yummy place for breakfast in Seven Lakes/West End. Highly recommend! read more

Cozy little diner with fabulous pancakes, just right spice level in the sausage gravy, and warm and welcoming customer service.

The atmosphere and service however, are amazing. As for the food, I would say it was just okie. Nothing wrong with it, but also nothing that really stood out or made me go wow. It is a typical western brunch style menu. Presentation was nice and portions were decent, but flavour wise it felt quite standard. read more

Stopped in today for a quick takeout breakfast sandwich and a coffee. I was hoping to like the place since it's close to my house. Unfortunately, the sandwich was blah, at best. Simple egg and cheese - very thin egg and some sort of yellow cheese served on thin plain white bread. When ordered they didn't ask me what bread I'd like (I don't like white bread) so I just assumed it would be on an English muffin or something. I assumed wrong. The coffee was served in a very large styrofoam cup with a lid that wouldn't stay on (danger: hot coffee). When I went in to pick up my order, there was no help to be found. No one greeted me and no one asked about my order. I eventually walked to the counter near the kitchen and found what I believed to be my order sitting there in a brown bag. So, I grabbed the bag and took it to the register to pay for it. There I saw a sign that said something to the effect of a 4% upcharge to use a credit card. Annoying. So I paid by cash and walked out with a bunch of loose change in my pocket. Overall, an underwhelming experience. I don't think I'd go back. read more

Breakfast this morning while I was getting some work done on my vehicle. The restaurant is still practicing their social distancing with spaced tables and masks required. I'm not sure if they wipe down the menus or what, so I used care with that. My ham & cheese omelet was very good. Prepared properly, a nice size, completely filling. I probably drank a gallon of coffee as well. Note that there are no grits or potatoes because I'm still losing weight on the keto diet. Good service, clean restaurant, nice meal. It was all great!

Great breakfast place. Quick and friendly servers. Food servings are generous. Our go to place for local breakfast

Small setting, fast service, good traditional breakfast food.

Freaking love love love this place!! We go every Sunday. The only thing I would change about this place is to make it open for dinner. They won't do it. I've begged. Chicken in dumplings is so good. It's my favorite place to eat in west end. read more

Best sausage gravy biscuit I've ever had! Sorry mama! LOL all jokes aside this seriously was the best gravy biscuit I've ever eaten, along with scrambled eggs and bacon cooked extra crispy exactly how I ordered it, The ambience and the service were beyond reproach! My complements were given to the chef. read more

Just passing through before a long drive and banged a U-turn to try this spot. The place was crowded so we sat at the counter and both ordered the Western Omelette with hash browns, a biscuit, and a side of fried okra. Hats off to the chef who's making French-style omelettes- honestly one of the best omelettes I've ever had. The biscuit and crispy hash browns are what you hope for and dream of when you live in the northeast. Can't go wrong with that fried okra either! read more

Cute little diner in West End. We had a bad experience the first time we went here (terrible customer service). However, they have since redeemed themselves. They have great food and its in a very convenient spot in town. Just a good old diner. Not many left in the world. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Very warm and welcoming! We're new to the area and felt very welcome.

What a cool small town diner with a great diner menu! Along Highway 211, easy access and lots of parking. Came at lunch time, lots of seating and the joint was full. Seems like a local place for sure, very friendly wait staff and full menu. Breakfast all day is great, that's what I ordered. Moist hash brownss, quality bacon, excellent biscuits and all perfect & hot. Wife had a monster club sandwich and a salad with grilled chicken for 2. Huge orders of food, fresh and just absolutely tasty and fresh. So much we had a box to go. Observed plates of good looking country cooking and comfort food. Will definitely be back! Big diner menu and well done, enjoy the food. read more

Every time we come here the food is fresh and good. Have not ever had a bad meal. We have had breakfast and lunch both!

We love the friendly staff that treat you like family. Daily specials and veggies are always extra yummy! The menu has something for everyone read more

My colleagues and I were passing through on our way from Winston Salem to Pinehurst Resort for a work retreat and this was the perfect place to stop. It was pretty busy during lunch time, we snagged the last open table. Classic southern options were offered at affordable prices. I got the fried pork chops with fried okra and applesauce for ~$7-8. The board had a bunch of other sides to choose from. Service was quick and friendly. read more

In for breakfast wanting GOOD biscuits & gravy. A lot of places offer it but most is canned not homemade. The server assured me it was house made with lots of sausage. What I got was cold and not much sausage. Sent it back to be nuked. Server never came back to offer more coffee or ask if everything was now ok. Too bad for me since I drove 9 miles to try this place. read more

Food is always great and the service is friendly. Desserts are made daily. Usually always a packed house at lunch and all day Sunday so don't be in a hurry. Breakfast served all day. read more

We almost didn't come here because of the latest reviews. BUT I'M GLAD WE CAME! The service was excellent. We were greeted as soon as we sat down. Waitresses came by several times to fill our drinks. About the food... DELICIOUS. We got biscuits and sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns and grits. It was wonderful. My husband loves good biscuits and good sausage gravy and gave these a thumbs up. We will definitely be coming here again. read more

This place tastes and feels almost exactly like Mac's--the restaurant that was there before. I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Neither was impressive. The grilled cheese was maximally cheap. It tasted like grocery-store brand cheese on cheap, buttery white bread. Worse, though, was my (canned) tomato soup: it couldn't have been hotter than 80 degrees. Anyway, the food was alright, and it was cheap. I guess that's what I expect when I'm eating on the side of 211, far away from anything else. So 3 stars. read more

I don't know why this place is packed. Maybe because there's nothing else around!! Everything seems to out of a can. They don't even have fresh mushrooms for the omelets. The sausage gravy is a 4 out of 10 and the biscuits are large but super salty which tells me they are not homemade. We've tried this place 2 or 3 Times and it always falls short. They've even managed to make a sad BLT. I don't think we will be back! read more

We ate lunch there today, July 15,2021. Food and service was great and prices are really good. You can eat breakfast all day, BLT is as good as it gets. Nothing in area that close to as good as this place. read more

This place has great food, terrific service and just the ambience one needs. I travel from Winston to Oak Island several times a year and make it a point to have a good meal here. The vegetables are seasoned and cooked to perfection and the breads are to die for. The absolute best chicken and egg salad I have ever had. Very evident the food is homemade and prepared to perfection. Deserts are scrumptious. read more
