    Runway from dining room
    Cary C.

    We had a great experience with our one year old for his birthday. The restaurant is at a small airport and you can watch small planes take off and land. That novelty and fun location is part of what you pay for. Given the location I thought the food was much better than it needed to be for the price. Meals are about $17-19. We did the buffet. The pulled pork was very good texture, lightly smoked I think with a fruit wood, very very nice. The baby loved the hush puppies as much as I did. Me wife got a hamburger steak which she loved. The collard greens were just like my mom would make. The food is simple and maybe understated but very well executed. The service was great, friendly and prompt. They have child seats and are very child friendly. They have a full bar, with a nice selection of beers.

    Over 55? They have a great senior discount and volunteered it. Friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant is on the third floor overlooking the runway. Warmer weather would allow outside dining with spectacular views. You could go just for cocktails. Full service bar. There's a regular menu and the choice of a buffet at lunch and dinner. On Fridays, fried shrimp is on the buffet, along with pulled pork, fried and baked chicken, delicious ribs, corn, green beans, collards, hush puppies, and great mac and cheese. There is also a cold bar--salad bar and banana pudding. That a hot peach cobbler were yummy dessert choices. We will return when the days are longer and we can see the runway better.

    The general setting of this restaurant w/ the option of outdoor seating makes visiting this location well worth it! I usually avoid buffets as I tend to overdo it and make myself miserable while trying to cram everything in sight that looks appetizingly pleasing, but I figure; visit a new spot and like everything else worth enjoying; consume in moderation to avoid mishap! My date and I went in to enjoy the buffet on a Tuesday evening in which they had tacos as the hightlight dish! We both had the Mac n cheese, ribs, peach cobbler, baked beans! The ribs and peach cobbler were my favorites thus far! We ordered a Mimosa flight, a Top gun, Corona and water to rinse it all down! This was the 1st visit but definitely not the last as Wednesday(wings) and Saturday(steak) will be my next target days to fill my gullet! We also got a free showing of the youth JROTC cadets that are set to be next up. My suggestions for the business is to cut at least half of that cheese out of the macaroni as I could only obtain gobs of cheese with limited macaroni noodles and all that cheese tends to blow a stomach to pieces! I would also like to have the option to enjoy a cigar while sipping my cognac and watching planes take off and land on a beautiful sunny day! We ended up paying $110 including tax & tip for this occasion!

    First time visiting and what a cool restaurant! Enjoy some delicious bbq while watching planes land and take off at the airport! Came on a weekday during lunch and it wasn't too crowded. Reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because our server forgot about us for a few minutes after we were ready to order and had to flag them down to put our order in. They were apologetic and realized they had forgotten and quickly put our food in so won't hold it against them. Other than that I had a great experience. If you are ever in the area definitely swing by and check out the views of the runway and grab a bite to eat.

    This is what we received. Look at the portion size of the So Called Whole chicken.

    The service was great but the menu was very misleading, I ordered a Whole chicken for me and my wife to split and what did we get for $24.55, We got hushpuppies, fries and cornbread as sides from their Buffet which was slightly warm and the whole chicken was only two legs with thighs attached one MUCH SMALLER than the other, When I ask the server where the whole chicken was she immediately ask me if I wished to speak with the manager which was a RED FLAG right off because apparently they've had this question ask many times before so I declined to speak to a manager, The only good thing about the dinning experience was watching the airplanes' take off and land, I feel we got ripped off and I do not recommend this restaurant.

    I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It's really disappointing coming to a place to have a nice meal and discover how bad food can be. This place serves the food cold and with a funky taste. We never saw the waitress after he got our order until it was time to pay. Don't waste your time and your money.

    My daughter and I came in for a quick dinner. I was still working. We order tacos, chicken strips and fries. The food was delicious. The staff was courteous and answered all of our questions. This was our first time visiting and we will definitely come back. I also had the house margarita, not strong but it was their $3 special.

    I visited Low and Slow Smokehouse recently after taking a long break because of food quality and staff inconsistency. This place is very close by and I love airplanes, so I was really pulling for this place to be better. Well my wish was granted; and then some!! They now have a buffet with lots of options. Salad bar, pulled pork, fried chicken, sausage, ribs, collards, Mac and cheese, cornbread, and peach cobbler! I'm sure I missed some, but there are options galore. Everything was hot and prepared very nicely. They even have a full bar and my margarita was delish! The staff was very pleasant and treated us like family, even when we asked to sit outside and then changed our minds because it was very windy. Our server was attentive despite the place having numerous large parties. I'm very happy to see things have changed for the better here. I get the best of both worlds; fine smoked meats and airplanes! I'll be more of a regular going forward!

    Airport barbecue - what a fascinating concept with so much potential! The atmosphere at this unique spot is truly exceptional - a perfect 10/10 that immediately draws you in with its eclectic vibe. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ends. The lunch buffet, while appearing fresh, left much to be desired. The salad bar was disappointingly sparse, and the wings were both dried out and served at an unappetizing lukewarm temperature. The pulled pork had an unpleasant "barnyard" aroma and flavor that was off-putting, while the chicken was drowning in excessive sauce that couldn't hide its mediocrity. The ribs were the lone bright spot - actually quite enjoyable and showing what this kitchen might be capable of with more attention to detail. The friendly staff and remarkable atmosphere simply couldn't compensate for the subpar food quality. If you're craving genuine, quality barbecue on the western side of the state, I'd strongly recommend heading to JD's in Rutherford College instead - a place that truly understands how barbecue should be done. Despite the inviting setting, the food quality simply doesn't warrant a return visit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ to those about to nosh, head elsewhere! You've been warned.

    Dang guys, what happened? So I hope we caught you on a bad night. A few Sundays ago we brought the family in to eat. 1. Bar was covered with trash 2. Service was overwhelmed. 3. Buffet style really brings in the "unhealthily large" crowd. (The true medical term has been deemed "offensive") 4. The food we were served had sat in the grease too long or the grease was not being changed at the right frequency. It was rough. Please consider changing the buffet format or reducing its frequency. The volume business effects hurts your brand. You look like Golden Corral now. Please change. Get well soon.

    One of our favorites. You get what you pay for, good food and service. Plus you get to watch planes taking off and landing.

    Excellent brisket. Great place to bring kids and watch the runway. Also cheaper per pound than many other options.

    If you're looking for catering for an event, look no further. We looked at a number of different…read morecatering options, and it was clear after our tasting that Unforgettable Food Affairs/Raleigh Catering was something special. The food was so good that we ended up happily paying extra for additional sides and appetizers. April and her staff are super friendly and accommodating and have great attention to detail, even coming to our venue walkthrough. The temperature of the food was just right, and we received so many compliments on the food. We did a Southern BBQ style and both the out-of-towners and the local Southerners were raving about it. We will definitely be using Unforgettable Food Affairs again in the future!

    I absolutely loved Unforgettable Food Affairs. It was a pleasure working with the owner April. I…read morecould tell everything was going to be perfect from the moment I contacted her through email. She was extremely responsive and very helpful throughout the entire process of the tasting, choosing our menu, making payments, and the actual wedding event. The catering company has a great variety of food options to choose from. My husband and I picked the assorted cheeses, spinach dip, crackers, and fruit displays for the cocktail hour. They were all beautifully set up and tasted amazing. For dinner, we had a roast beef carving station with assorted sauces, cheese and mushroom stuffed chicken breast, vegetables with sauce, whipped potatoes, and rolls with butter of course. We are STILL receiving compliments about how great the food was on the big day! Just thinking about it is making me hungry right now! I would HIGHLY recommend using Unforgettable Food Affairs for your wedding day. April really makes it an UNFORGETTABLE experience!
