I went to Front Street Brewery and got the American Burger. That was a great decision. I had a very long road trip to get to this destination and I wanted to grab something to assist me unwind. I grabbed the FSB Old Fashioned to start and the American Burger to go. The Old Fashioned was amazing! The cocktail brought some serious flavor! They boast about having the largest selection of whiskey and from the looks of the bar, I believe them! The burger was nothing short of spectacular. It was two smash burgers with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes. The price was great for the flavor that I received. This was a great way to start my trip. I cannot wait to come back and try something else on the menu!

We had about a 45 minute wait for a table of 6 which was understandable as it was pretty busy at noon on Thursday. Drinks came quickly as we were seated. Appetizers were hit or miss. Fried pickles were surprisingly good and I'm not a pickle fan. However the pretzel was disappointing. Food was comparable to what you would find at other pubs. My smash burger was fantastic. We did have one issue where the vegetarian in our group got served a chicken bowl by accident. However they quickly remedied it and got him what he ordered ASAP. Unfortunately we were mostly done by the time his food came. They did comp the food that was late which was nice. If you are looking for a good bite and tasty beer then I would totally recommend this place.

I am not really into infused olive oil, so I primarily buy straight up olive oil here. They have 3-4 straight olive oil options (e.g. Spanish, California, Greece) which are very good. You can ask for samples to help you choose. The quality of the products are very good, which is why I buy from this place. Note, they are a little high, but again the quality is very good. Discounts for military personal and if you buy 3 bottles. Cash, plastic and Apple Pay accepted.

The woman working there was helpful and kind. I really enjoyed their olive tapenade and that is what I purchased. The balsamic vinegars are extremely sweet. Too sweet for my taste.

Finally! After many years, we made it back to Copper Penny! On our return trip from Southport we…read morestopped in downtown to grab a bite before heading home. We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

Only like 9 tables so plan accordingly or you will have to wait awhile. Go during off peak hours to ensure a short wait time. Now the food...... 1. Cheese Steak Egg Rolls served w/chipotle ranch......Amazing!!!! Best we have ever had. 2. 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich had an amazing balance of ingredients that would make your mouth water. Very good and the fries as well. 3. Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich was very bland and had an excessive amount of spinach. Even the Au Jus couldn't rescue this sandwich. 4. The famous onion rings. Well they must of ran out of seasoning because these were more flour than flavor. Very doughy with no spices. Not worth the $9 * The alcohol mix drinks are pretty good. Definitely taste the flavor of each. Will give you a good kick.

The staff were so friendly and helpful and made great recommendations for each of our tastes (one friend loves spicy and signed the waiver to try their hottest sauce and one person only does super mild in our group and both had fun). The hot sauce lover bought three bottles and some horseradish that clears sinuses. I got a butterscotch salty seasoning for popcorn and pork. I got a jalapeño butter seasoning for red meat that was delightful. My sister got the sweet and sassy (a sweet n sour sauce or Thai chili sauce). Another friend got the last bottle of the best seller bourbon barbecue sauce. It is so fun to stop in and do a tasting. Worth checking out even if you like mild flavors.

But why I realize speak highly of it is the prices are so reasonable. Granted more than even the nicer supermarkets but way less than other high end butchers I've seen. The only thing I wouldn't recommend are some of the local frozen items. It's nice to offer things from area farms but they are expensive for frozen meats.

This place has been on my list for almost a year and it now has my little Italian heart…read more My daughter and I walked in around 1pm on a weekday, tried to wait until the lunch rush was over. It's spring break and azalea fest...so that worked out perfectly. We were greeted at the counter and the nice young gentleman asked if my daughter could have a cookie. Sure! Giant chocolate chips, so good. I ordered and they even offered me a coffee while I waited. I chose the Haley on a long roll. Nice crusty bread, fresh mozzarella, turkey, arugula and balsamic. Honestly, haven't had a hoagie that good in years. We also had their pasta salad, equally delicious. Plenty of seating inside, with a lot of cool photos on the walls. It felt just like being home. Can't wait to go back!

You guessed it, I ate the whole thing! My husband had the beet salad topped with blackened chicken, which he raved about the whole time we were there. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is small and cozy with a unique ambience, great service with a smile, quite loud, but worth the wait!

We ended up sitting outside because they didn't have seating available. Ended up waiting 34 minutes after ordering to remind the waitress to check on our food. She let us know it's going to be another 15-20 minutes because the kitchen was backed up. Which is pretty wild because all we ordered was burgers and fries. All in all we waited for our food for about an hour. Should have called beforehand to price check it because it's 100% not worth the price. Should have just cooked out on the bbq. I ordered the "Hot Mess" burger because it had decent reviews. The burger was decent size with a tiny portion of fries on the side. The service was mediocre, felt like the waitress / bartender was just damage controlling the small amount of tables in the entire establishment. On top of it all the ice tea was too sweet, we exchanged it for a water and still got charged. Overall, would not recommend, it was an absolute waist of money and time.
