    This is a small local breakfast place, with about 10 tables. You can see Pilot Mountain in the…read moredistance from the window. The food tasted great, although most of the food on the buffet was cold. The issue is the service! You have to seat yourself and despite it being a breakfast buffet, you have to wait for a server to serve you. That took forever--only come when you're not in a rush and have at least 1.5 hours. It wasn't crowded; there were empty tables the entire time I was there. At the buffet, you can't serve yourself. So finally when the server came to take our drink order and buffet details (you can do made-to-order omelets, eggs, pancakes as part of the buffet), you have to stand at the small buffet and wait for a server to put the food you ask for on a plate. This took a ridiculous amount of time. They had plenty of employees, but instead of taking our order or serving the buffet, they were filling ketchup bottles, talking, or doing other tasks that had nothing to do with serving the customers standing there waiting. There was a man walking around (appeared to be the owner, as he would occasionally instruct his staff) who was drinking a sweet tea. He rounded the corner to the buffet and I thought that he would finally help us. No, he was just refilling his sweet tea behind the counter. The kitchen knew what they were doing, but the wait staff is just plain awful. They were friendly, but inept. If they train their employees better, I will be back. For now, I won't return.

    The view from my window was beautiful, which definitely added to the experience. This is a…read moreseat-yourself café, and while that was fine, it did take a while for our waitress to come by--even though she only had two tables. When the food arrived, I immediately noticed the sausage looked off and had a strange smell. It wasn't up to my standards, so I decided to skip it. Thankfully, the rest of the meal was better. The eggs were good, and the French toast was absolutely delicious--the highlight of the meal, for sure. Overall, while there's definitely room for improvement in both service and food quality, it wasn't a bad experience.

    Food is mediocre at best. Ordered the club, and the loaded fries. The club was decent, good amount…read moreof meat but was falling apart with burnt bacon and soggy tomatoes. The tea is the worst I've ever had, tastes like they were making lemonade and added a single tea leaf to it during steeping. Fries are obviously frozen from Sam's or Costco. Serving sizes are average for the price. Some of their appetizers are nearly as expensive as their entrees. Our server was nice and attentive. We came around 6pm, it was nearly empty. Nickel back was blasted on the stereo and car auctions on the TV's.

This place hadn't gotten a lot of reviews but it was worth the five stars I'm giving it. The place had lots of parking and we could see when we walked up it was crowded, then we heard the live Blue Grass music playing which made my wife very happy. We came in and were greeted and told to order from the counter and they would bring out the food. I ordered the Reuben which if on the menu is how I judge the food overall. This Rueben was the second best I have gotten in NC and close to first. Perfectly made as traditional styled Rueben it went well with the local beer I ordered there. The music was a good touch and pretty good, we were told they have music regularly and also trivia and bingo. I recommended it for the food, service and entertainment.

    Stopped by after a long hot day, just wanted a little food and some ice cream. Walk up window…read moreservice at this roadside food shack with the menu board just to the right of the window, place your order, pay and get a buzzer. It goes off when your food is ready to go. The young lady behind the counter the evening of our visit was kind, professional and helpful. We had a couple questions about the whats and hows, she answered them with a smile. There is no real area to sit and eat here, so its mostly take it and go. A handful of benches but no table tops. We ordered a couple "hunks" of pizza (basically a quarter of a pie) and ice cream with a soda and tea. Simple easy and inexpensive. We sat on the outside bench while she prepared our pizzas, once ready the buzzer went off and I retrieved our boxed quarter pies from the service window. She made our ice creams in just a couple minutes and we were on our way back to our place. The food is simple basic and good, the service friendly and kind. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the kind friendly service 01237

Would like to see some out of the weather comfort seating some day. But I'm ok with what is there right now. Ok Pinnacle Food folks, would you like to see a good Seafood Restuarant like in Rural Hall or Walkertown? I would. Greeks take notice, we want you to come to check out the realestate? There are many locations that are available. Anyway come get yourself some pie for right now.
