Great Wings and More…read more Mad Flavorz is hard to describe. First and foremost, it's a wing shop - a very good wing shop. The wings are big, chunky, meaty, tender and smothered in a variety of unusual (and unusually tasty) Flavorz. I highly recommend the bone-in Mad Flavorz Bourbon Wings - a lot of flavor with a balance of sweet, heat and tang. I'm running out of adjectives, so I will simply say that these are some of the best Wings I ever ate. As the name would imply, it's also a Lounge with a full service bar, relaxed atmosphere super friendly service and extensive list of beers. It doesn't get much better than a pile of world-class wings and an ice cold Red Stripe. We were impressed with the diversity of the menu - everything from Burgers and Hoagies to Salads and Seafood. The Coconut Shrimp was institutional but delicious. The Specialty Sides are as good as the Wings.. The French Toast & Chicken Tenders Plate was a mixed bag. The Toast was disappointing (not restaurant quality), but the three good-sized Chicken Tenders were nicely done - crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Fish Whopper Sandwich lived up to its name. The very large filet was golden brown, crispy and served on a fresh soft bun. Add a side of perfectly fried Okra and you have a satisfying meal. The Jamaican Beef Patty - much like an oversized empanada - had a nice crispy shell filled with flavorful minced beef. It was extra tasty with a little of the Cajun Jamaican Jerk Sauce. My biggest issue with Mad Flavorz is that they are often out of several menu items and beers (Lobster Pops, Banana Pudding, Cheesecake, Red Stripe, Modello to mention a few). I hope this is a temporary situation. Having said that, I still very much enjoy eating at this somewhat quirky eatery.

Since I never got a chance to try the food, I really should be giving it no stars. When you do a…read moresoft opening at a community like Lake Royale, you should be better prepared for a large crowd. Yes, you can prepare and assume you will have a large crowd by having more people working. Those who were working, moved slower than snails. I put my order in at 5:47pm and at 6:50, I asked about my order which I was told they were working on it then. At 7:19pm I asked for my money back as I still hadn't received any of my order after being told 25 minutes. The order I placed was $58. If you want us to spend that kind of money, you need to have better business skills. While I was asking the owner for my money back, she was telling others it was a 45 minute wait after I had waited 90 minutes and nothing. Yes, I spoke up and said "I was told 25 minutes and 90 minutes later still waiting. It'll be longer than 45 minutes" I told her I wanted my money back and she accused me of having an attitude and that I should be patient. I repeatedly asked her for my money back and I have yet to see it as she told me she would refund it and to leave.

I ended up waiting until 12:50 PM for it to be ready. On top of that, the women at the counter were extremely rude and unprofessional.

This location needs serious improvement in both customer service and order management. I won't be returning.

It is all inclusive so you can order pizza, drinks, and desserts for an office and you only have to show up. Great for a busy gal! The Roanoke Rapids Papa John's have come through for me each and every lunch I have had lately in the area and what is nice and unfortunately unexpected is that they are on time, often early! This is so great! I had an issue with an order yesterday and called the store, assuming they would just credit me next time or apologize but no, they actually returned to the office with 2 new pizzas for me to add to the order that I already had. Drivers are super friendly (also rare from other Papa John's I've used) and the store manager is always friendly when I call to confirm the orders and I do this often because I have reoccuring nightmares that I will be waiting for 15 pizzas with a doctor's office and nothing shows so the Roanoke Rapids Papa John's accomodates that paranoia and I appreciate them.

1 Star - Serious Health Concern…read more While visiting Ruby Tuesday in Roanoke Rapids, my family and I witnessed a German cockroach crawling on the salad bar, which was supposed to be fresh and ready for guests. I immediately notified management. The only response I received was, "Oh my goodness." There was no attempt to remove food, clean the area, or address the issue in any way. Because of this, we chose to leave and not eat our food. A roach is disturbing on its own, but a German cockroach is commonly associated with infestations, which raises serious concerns about cleanliness and food safety. I have photo and video evidence of what we saw. Additionally, the restaurant appeared severely understaffed. We waited over 20 minutes just to be acknowledged and seated. This experience was unacceptable and concerning from a public health standpoint. I do not recommend eating at this location and will not be returning.

About 10 minutes after ordering we received our food. The chicken on my salad was hot and fresh. The overall taste of the salad was impeccable. Between the crisp fresh lettuce, the crunch from the croutons, and the chicken being nice and hot the salad was amazing. My partner had no complaints about the wrap or the fries. The fries were hot and crispy. When the food came out the aroma hit us before the food was even at our table. 2. Our sever was an absolute delight. She was completely aware of our modifications we asked for our food. The manager came and stopped by the table to check on us and she was extremely attentive to any needs we might have to make sure we were having a wonderful experience. 3. The restaurant itself was very clean, quiet, and spacious. Definitely recommend stopping in if you want something comforting to eat especially with the rainy weather going on right now! 100/10 recommend!

A mediterranean style interior with an Italian influence. High ceilings, and lots of art on the walls. A tv with sports playing up by the bar area. Our kind and friendly server came by our booth within a minute or so and took our drink requests and got our appetizer going all at the same time. For starters we went with the Fried Calamari, this is first rate golden brown, tender to the bite and juicy with a great marinara for dipping. Some of the best we have had around. We gave the menu a good look over, a well rounded menu with something for pretty much every taste. I opted for the Austrailian Chicken, with bacon, mushrooms and cheddar along a nice rustic potato mash with a side green salad. The chicken was very good, nicely prepared with a unique finish. Tender and flavorful, two grilled boneless breasts covered with bacon. This is a hearty meal, great flavor and a fair value for the serving. My partner had the Chicken Pot Pie, a beautiful presentation and well prepared. A large serving with a flaky baked crust topping. She said it was very good as well. They have a pretty good dessert selection too, I went for the Heath bar cheese cake and it was exceptionally good. Rich, creamy toffee flavor. 4.5 Stars All in all a solid choice, rounded up for all of the great staff 01260

My husband was pretty satisfied with his catfish. I found my fish to be a bit too fishy and had to spit it out halfway through. My husband even said mine tasted too fishy for his liking as well and couldn't finish it. He ordered the catfish and enjoyed that. I think the serving sizes were a little disappointing for the price. Upon arrival, my husband found that they were not yet open, despite their hours stating they would be. Eventually, when they let him in around 20 min later, it seemed like the staff was not anticipating a customer walking in, and they explained that getting their food truck ready was their top priority. It was a disappointing experience, since it was Father's Day and he was really looking forward to trying this place out for his Father's Day lunch and it wasn't the best experience. He did enjoy the food and said he'd order it again for himself, but from the food truck next time because it seems maybe those customers might have better experiences. Personally, I would not return.

This is a great review I saw from back home ! BackstreetCrabs in Franklin. I had heard the food was…read moregreat, but had seen other not so nice reviews as well (you never know until you try it though). Ill try to give y'all a good honest opinion of the restaurant and food. I had seen the shrimp and crab philly posted on this page and thought "I've got to try that, I've never had any sandwich like that before." Well today was the day. I placed my order over the phone and the young lady who answered was very nice, (the ticket had the name Destiny on it). She answered all my questions and took my order without any issues. When I got to backstreet crabs I observed the gentleman cooking wearing gloves, a head covering, and a beard net. The young lady was helping some other customers and bagging up their order. She told me they were working on my order and I could go ahead and grab my drink (cooler with bottles and cans located in the customer seating area). When my order was ready it was boxed up and shown to me to make sure it was what I had asked for. Everything looked and smelled good. Staff was very friendly the entire time. Here's the pros of the meal: It was delicious! Piled high with filling and very flavorful. There were whole shrimp, not pieces. I think around 6 good size shrimp in the sandwich. There was so much filling I had to take a layer off the top. Fries were cooked perfectly as well. The only negative thing I have to say about the whole experience was that the sandwich was very wet, so the bread got soggy fast. Did that stop me from eating it, Nope. It was still delicious. I did end up taking the filling out of the bread once it was too soggy for my liking and just eating the filling. Just FYI if you plan to order over the phone you will need to pay with card while you are on the phone, but it wasn't a surprise, she did tell me when I asked to place a to go order. I'll definitely go back again, I've got my eye on the crab cake sandwich for next time or maybe some wings. Love to help local hometown!
