The side of mac and cheese bites were a prefect combo.

This restaurant is in a strip shopping center and in the area of local hotels. We were seated near the bar which was a nice booth with raised barriers between tables which made conversation easy. Our server Kaydi quickly came over to offer drinks, an energetic tone, a positive smile, and the refreshing Southern "yes ma'am/sir." I got the Blues Brothers Burger with sweet potato fries, a very tasty lunch, and filling. We were offered to-go drinks, a cordial touch. Pricing averaged about $25 per person, a very reasonable price for the value delivered. Overall, we will certainly be back the next time we're driving along the east coast. I hope we're lucky enough to meet Kaydi again, as she's an asset to this establishment.

I ordered the Burger Bowl which is an enormous mixed greens salads, bacon bits, sliced egg,…read moretomatoes, cucumbers, red onions topped with 2 burger patties. I originally didn't think I'd finish this salad but it was really fresh and delicious. Very low carb meal. Next time I might try chicken instead of burgers. Husband had the Rocky Balboa burger and a side salad instead of fries. He was a little disappointed in the small size of the burger but it was otherwise good (cooked medium well but not dry) and the salad was fresh. Service was friendly but server had a little trouble remembering if they had Guinness. I would expect the servers to have this information ready as they serve primarily burgers and BEER, ya know. It was an early Fri nt dinner for us so not crowded or busy yet. Noise level was moderate and we could still talk without raising our voices.

Out of all the times we came, I only got a picture of one thing- which this crème brûlée espresso martini was good! I think my favorite I had from there was their old fashioned, it was perfectly balanced. Food wise we tried the bang bang shrimp, Ceasar salad, steak frites, their ribeye and Brussels sprouts and everything was delicious, cooked perfectly and served immediately and quickly!

When I walked in, Yessenia greeted me with a huge smile and such a bubbly personality exactly the kind of vibe you want when you enter a place.

I ordered the three-piece tilapia with extra rice and salad, and it was perfect. Overall, my experience was a solid 10 out of 10. Big shoutout to Eddie and Yessenia, you guys rock!

*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.

Small down-home style breakfast and lunch place on 301 a little north of Rocky Mount. It's a…read morepleasant throwback to the way this area used to be some 30 years ago. Cafeteria-style soul food with daily specials. Fried food is cooked to order so no soggy food. Fish can be ordered soft, medium, or hard and I suggest going with hard. The breading is flavorful and the beans are cooked with pork. You don't need to be told, you can taste it. I didn't get any of the large portions of homemade cake but every other customer did so I'm thinking they know what they're doing. Most of the customers seem to be regulars and the staff is very friendly. It's almost like eating at your neighbor's house - your neighbor who's a great cook. Strongly recommended.

Taste isn't quite a meaty taste but nevertheless it was tasty. My relative had the double patty smash burger without cheese which she said was good. I will definitely return to the restaurant one day in the near future and eat in this time, but try a different dish. You know, maybe the woman at yet bar will join me this time. lol.

Asked for server and greeted by young friendly lady that couldn't answer the most simple of questions about their products so we left. Wife saying she wouldn't return, so I went by myself this Friday. Before I start Ive had over 25 yrs in the restaurant biz, all facets and positions from dish pit to certified trainer, GM and regional manager. No greeting at the door for an awkward amount of time so I sat at the empty bar. First contact greeting at 13 mins, no drink, app or entree offer just a hello. 4 mins later I get, "what can I get you"? Un-tea w/ lemon and Splenda, Brisket burger w/ fries and side of ranch. She brings back un-tea no lemon, 4 ice cubes that means "I don't want to refill your drink so you get room temp tea" and no sweetener. 15 mins later burger comes out with about 3 oz of battered French fries, the cheapest ranch I've ever seen with the fake colored flakes that's supposed to be seasonings. Oh also sold food for 8 yrs to restaurants and I know Good, Better, and Best but this was well below even those. Burger was cooked to its death, probably either a steak weight used to press out all of the fat, juice n flavor, or thrown under a lid and sprayed with water to steam speed cook the same fat, juice n flavor out of the burger, either way it was a dry flavorless hockey puck with 4 pcs of tiny brisket under a wilted pc of cheese. Tea was refilled after I was done trying to choke that burger down, and was refilled with the same 4 ice cubes. I was asked by 3 different employees how everything was and after I told all 3 that it wasn't good, 2 just smiled and shook their heads and the 3rd which I believe was the owner or mgt didn't wait for my response, just asked and walked off. I gave ample opportunity for customer service but none was offered. There is no training or following of training protocol, there is no steps to service, the food ingredients are base level at best and execution on all levels were severely lacking. There are several similar restaurants in our area that do an awesome job, I just wish this was another one of them.
