    I highly recommend! First and foremost wonderful service from Alex my bartender!! She was amazing. I sat at the bar which offered plenty of seating and it was exceptionally clean in the restaurant! I ordered only an appetizer, Bang bang cauliflower, which was cooked deliciously!! I can't wait to return to try some more items!!

    Yo, I've driven past this place for a long time going to visit family in Gastonia and always thought it looked fun. So, I asked a friend to check them out for brunch with me. We came on a busy Saturday and were able to grab seats at the bar. Tasha was our bartender and she was super sweet and very attentive! We had such a good time and a great meal!! I ordered one of their salads and added chicken, wings, whiskey and a beer. I also tasted my friends garbage fries, I think that was the name lol. EVERYTHING was so so yummy!!! They had a really good menu selection too. I really enjoyed this spot and highly recommend it. It's a lively spot and all the staff we encountered was happy and smiling! I'll be going back soon actually!!

    This spot is absolutely fantastic for breakfast and lunch! They serve the best sandwiches, delicious French toast, and incredible cheese grits. I haven't ordered a single item on the menu that I wouldn't order again! Plus, you can enjoy a flight of mimosas! While it's a tucked away location, a little hole in the wall, they get crowded and the wait can be frustrating when you see open tables but the service is always really good.

    Another find thanks to Yelp, and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. It's slightly tucked away off Franklin/Wilkinson, but it's worth the "find". All the food was super fresh, tasty, and the portions were huge! Everything we ordered was great, and you could tell there was an element of scratch cooked goodness. Highly recommend starting with the bang bang cauliflower or the sprouts! We had a wonderful attentive server who know the menu well. Don't let the outside of this place fool you, it is solid inside! We will certainly be back.

    We went for brunch. The food and service were good. The drinks were awesome! Can't wait to go back to try lunch

    We were on a road trip through NC, and Groovy Beast was such a pleasant surprise. Everyone here was really friendly. Great vibes overall. We went on a Saturday around noon and we were seated immediately. They have a lot of brunch options on the weekend. I had a veggie omelette with a side of fries. The portions were generous and the flavors were on point. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd gladly come back.

    Jackpot!!! We found a wonderful restaurant in Gastonia, NC!!! What a wonderful dining experience we had at this groovy, cool vibes local place. The service was wonderful!!! We enjoyed every bite that we had of our food. We went with the suggestions of our server, Bree. Who suggested we try the daily specials. It was perfect for us!!! We would definitely return!!

    Nothing special about the fries

    Service was excellent, very clean dining area. I was very disappointed with my burger. Ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger special. Not a lot of meat and the sauce did not add anything to the flavor. Fries were obviously from a bag of frozen.

    Holy cow talk about a hidden gem in Gastonia! We loved everything we had but the sliders were our favorite - balanced and melt in your mouth perfect.

    Grilled cheeseburger

    Service was amazing. Every worker in the restaurant said hello to us even if they were not serving us. Fried pickles were really good and the ranch dressing was top notch. The grilled cheeseburger was amazing nothing like I have ever had. We will definitely be back!

    Onion rings

    Groovy Beast is tucked back from the road with plenty of parking. The atmosphere is no frills with a neat vibe. The menu is simple burgers and sandwiches and a variety of alcoholic choices offering something for everyone. We went with the Reuben and Clubber Lang and both were perfectly toasted and delicious. The onion rings are the bomb and one order is enough for two to share. Service was great! The only negative is the noise level is painfully loud which is beyond the control of the establishment but, note worthy if you are thinking of having a conversation while you eat.

    Chicken crunch, wrap, and power bowl both were excellent

    Very trendy spot. Ample parking. Extremely friendly staff. Food came quickly, large, unique, menu choices. Everything we ordered was outstanding! Highly recommend.

    Double burger
    C L.

    Dropped by for a bite and went with the double burger, cheddar cheese, and the usual suspects--tomato, onion, and lettuce. First impression? This thing was massive. Looked like a beast on the plate, but once you bite in, it's a bit of a different story. Flavor was just... fine. Not bad, not great--definitely not something you'll be daydreaming about later. The patty leaned on the overcooked side, which didn't help the overall juiciness or texture. That said, the meat-to-bun ratio was on point, and structurally, it held up well without turning into a soggy mess. If you're hungry and nearby, sure, go for it. Just don't expect a life-changing burger. Service was pretty slow, but goos ambiance at the place, would go again

    We had Dalton as our server and had the best time. The drinks and food were both excellent!…read more It was the first time we tried Webb's and we will definitely be back!

    Webb Custom Kitchen - Gastonia 10:45am Mothers Day…read more My son asked me where I wanted to go for Mother's Day. I had been to Webb a few times. I thought he would enjoy the theme, environment/vibe so that was my suggestion! Of course they didn't let us down lol! He was looking up the movie that was playing on the screen with Barbara Stanwick and a young Kirk Douglas. We loved the music they had playing as well so many memories wow what a throwback! We were seated upstairs and had a wonderful view of the screen, not to mention the activities in the kitchen down below. Really it's the best seat if you call for reservations! We ordered off of the brunch menu for main dishes, I told him he absolutely had to try a couple of the appetizers! We had fried green tomatoes, and the angry lobster to start. Both were absolutely wonderful and exactly what I expected so definitely consistent. We ordered two Benedict dishes. I got the crabcake Benedict and he got the eggs with ham. Everything was very good, but when it comes to crabcakes, I can't lie. Nothing compares to 131 main so the size of the Crabcakes - I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong. They were fresh, but too thin and the flavor and texture were not to my personal preference. The crab kind of got lost in all the other ingredients. I would definitely try a different dish next time. I ordered a side of bacon, perfectly cooked and great flavor. Along with the side of their mac & cheese, which has always been a favorite. I love the combination of cheeses that they use. It's such a treat! Lastly, we had to have their Parmesan truffle fries. Again consistent, excellent! They are always busy so reservations are required versus recommended to be honest. But we parked for free across the street because we were there early. Sadly, neither one of us had room for dessert, but their desserts are so good and the helpings are huge. Maybe next time!
