    It's Brunswick Stew season at Kepley's!! Am I giving you a hankering for some stew on a gray afternoon? It was delicious and filling. I had mine with Cheerwine and lots of crackers. Sweater weather alert! I was told about this stew by a local who has enjoyed Kepley's since childhood. It's an honor to partake in the tradition.

    So, this was an unexpected twist to the night. We we're planning on going to Sweet Old Bill's we did, but that didn't work out. (See my review there). This place has nostalgia. Been here since 1948. Our waitress was a sweetheart, and our food was delivered expediently. The BBQ was tasty, and the hush puppies reminded me of a younger time in my life. This was a pure joy. I highly recommend it. Reason I'm only giving 4 stars is lack of menu choices.

    Quick day trip to NC, first time driving through so naturally we had to get classic North Carolina BBQ. Came to yelp for help as usual, and came across Kepley's. This is the cutest old timey restaurant, small, quaint & that hometown feel. We were welcomed at the door, seated and drinks ordered in a matter of moments. I orders a small tray, which came with chopped porked & red slaw and the best freaking hush puppies I have ever eaten in my entire life. My husband got a plate which was chopped pork, red slaw, fries and hush puppies. The kicker, the prices were unbelievable, literally we both had our meals and drinks with tip we were having lunch for under $25.00. Support local, these are the best places to try,

    Was looking at a college with my nephew and we scoped out a few options in the area. This one has been here forever and is small like a diner. Everyone of the staff was very friendly, while we were waiting for dessert to be brought out, an older gentleman came out, and was concerned we didn't have any food, we explained we were just waiting for dessert, and he said "there' s no limit on cobbler, order all you want I love when little things like that add to the experience of dining. The pork was moist and tasty and could be served in trays or on rolls, and had sauce on the table to add. The portions were extremely generous and very reasonably priced. The coleslaw was different than anything I've ever experienced, it was chopped very fine and had tomatoes in it. It was tasty, and the cabbage very fresh, but my mom just couldn't get used to it. The cobbler was out of this world! We scarfed it down in no time, and it was so good, we made a cobbler run another night and brought back some of every flavor available (peach, blackberry and cherry) to our room and had a cobbler fest! the hushpuppies were the best we had on our trip, and were crispy outside and not greasy and were different shapes and sizes. I am very glad we stopped here on our trip

Everything was delicious, especially the fries, turkey sandwich, Mac&Cheese, and the wings!! The place has a very warm atmosphere and we saw a lot of families enjoying their meals. Overall a great stop for anyone wanting to try Barbecue in the Triad area.

There's a nice selection of a variety of food vendors, nothing is duplicated and it's all super unique to the others. We sampled four of the vendors and all of the food was amazing! There was nothing going on at the park so it was relatively slow for business which we thought would make our visit easy without a lot of waiting in line (which there were none) or waiting for our food. The reason for the 4 stars is the wait time and friendliness of the vendors. They all looked very tired and dare I say grumpy?! No greetings, no smiles, no interaction other than taking the order and pointing to the pay scan. The orders took absolutely forever! One sushi roll took about 15 minutes and the birria bites took about 25 minutes! Crazy wait times for such a small crowd. We will definitely return for B3 Smokehouse and probably some sushi, they were both phenomenal, just wish the vibe was a little more friendly and fun.

    Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.

Between excellent service, from the host to the kitchen staff, and being a bright, cheery place decorated in a modern farmhouse feel (only complaint is the HARD seating), we love this place. The food is always delicious and seasoned perfectly with FLAVOR. For the appetizer, the Salad Pizza is absolutely scrumptious and was recommended by our server our first visit here last year. Honestly, it keeps bringing us back. The flavors are incredible. It has feta, mozzarella, topped with organic greens, shaved onions, tossed in a lemon/dijon dressing with shaved parmesan. It's a flavor bomb in the mouth. The meatloaf, is to die for. If you're a meatloaf eater this is for you. It's so tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Melts in your mouth and the sauce on top is the perfect blend of sweet and savory to top it off. For my two sides this time I chose the fried brussels sprouts and the greens. The greens are always seasoned perfectly and the brussels sprouts were crispy and full of flavor. They tasted even better dipped in my meatloaf sauce so that was a win-win. My boyfriend had the special which was short ribs. For his two sides, he had greens and green beans. The short rib was perfectly tender and absolutely delicious full of flavor and moist for him. The green beans and the greens were also perfect as well full of flavor, just enough fat and butter. It's a great little date spot or a family dinner. They also have outdoor seating covered with umbrellas. There's a bar inside with a TV if you choose to go watch sports and the food here is always on point full of flavor and makes you want to come back and try more things on the menu. You can't go wrong at southern roots.
