I haven't eaten at Magnolia 23 in a few years and was in Asheboro so I decided to try it again. The…read morerestaurant was full at lunch time but we didn't have trouble getting a table. The server was really nice and gave us plenty of time to order. I ordered the fried chicken smothered in gravy. It was good but I felt like the gravy was a bit lacking. I really loved the Mac and cheese! I also ordered a cup of chili and it was good but not amazing. We ended the meal with a piece of fried apple pie. It was very good! It wasn't too sweet but had a great apple flavor. Overall a good experience but it could have been better.

Nautical-themed The Blind Pelican has been on my bloody mary bucket list for years, so I was…read moreexcited to finally get to check them out this weekend while visiting the Raleigh area. I quickly scanned their hefty bloody mary menu and ordered the Lobstrocity, featuring veggies, shrimp, a grilled cheese sandwich and a fresh lobster tail atop a sizeable glass of the main concoction. This was definitely a meal in a glass! It was all quite delicious and filling, and I was glad I'd opted out of any of the optional add-ons like filet mignon, crab claws, or frog legs. Of course, I still had to order half a dozen raw oysters for dessert. And no, I won't be eating for the rest of the day! What made this a 5 star experience was our phenomenal server, Trevor. He was fast, friendly, and always nearby to clear empty plates or offer drink refills.

You can tell this place is popular by the amount of people who were on the wait list for a table. The bar area has a ton of local draft beer options and very friendly wait staff. The food options vary from sushi nachos to more traditional sandwiches. I thought my fish sandwich was a bit bland but it was still an overall great experience. Prices are what I would expect for seafood in Holly Springs.

Wow, this place has grown since I was last here about 8 years ago. The weather was amazing on a…read moreSaturday afternoon, so parking was difficult/non-existent in their lot. There are a good number of spaces, but it was just that busy. There's also street parking available close by. Lots of seating both inside (two separate rooms with tables) and outside. There were 3 bartenders working and they kept the line moving at a decent pace. The beer menu has grown quite a bit, and I was surprised to see the number of brews available. I went with half pours of a gingerbread type stout and their pickle lager. I liked the gingerbread as it had good spice flavors to it, and the lager was alright--light with a hint of salt. If I lived closer, I'd be back.

Meatloaf special was not the usual rectangle size serving but was a small portion…read more It was crumbled like chili with red peppers. Check out the photos of previous meatloaf servings to other customers posted on Yelp. It was tasty meatloaf but was a crunbled spoonful which is out of character with the usual normal sized generous serving, but the mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and fried okra, were good tasty comfort food. Rolls were good but for some reason very small tonight. The garden salad was fresh and crisp tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, grated cheddar on top, with Italian dressing. Ivey, our server, informed us the advertised delicious banana pudding was not being served tonight for some reason. Big disappointment to hear about not having the advertised banana pudding but in lieu of that I was offered two complementary chocolate chip cookies. The chicken and dumplings was good but almost no chicken on the plate and lots of dumplings. Also take a look at previous meal photos to see the usual generous serving of chicken and dumplings. Green beans and broccoli salad were good. Hershey bar chocolate cake was good dessert. Southern iced teas were perfectly refreshing. I recommend their Southern Style Country Food which is normally some of best comfort food but tonight was an off night according to Ivey, our server, the small portions on our plates was in contrast to the normally generous portions of the specials for some unknown reason Tonight was an off night for some reason with few cars in parking lot and only two other people in the dining room.

Stopped by for an early lunch with my son, just after opening…read more The interior is nice, clean, and has a cool, darker vibe, but I will say it feels more suited for a later meal or evening setting. If it's a beautiful day, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside instead. Still, the inside has a cozy, laid-back feel that works well. Shoutout to Qua, who was both the hostess and our server. She was welcoming, attentive, and handled everything smoothly, even as a few more parties came in while she was the only one serving at the time. One thing I really appreciated was that she let us know upfront what items were out of stock before we even looked at the menu. That level of transparency is huge and makes the experience so much better. My son ordered a slider with fries from the kids' menu. It comes with just one slider, so I ordered a second, definitely the right call. He enjoyed it, and the fries were cooked well, just a little on the salty side for our taste (ketchup helped balance that out). I had the shrimp tacos. It's packed and perfect portion for lunch. The shrimp, pineapple slaw, and chipotle mayo was a nice mix. The restaurant was clean (including the bathrooms). The location is also a plus, super close to the Art Museum, which makes it a great stop before or after visiting. Overall enjoyable, and I'd come back, especially to try more of the menu and the drinks.

Exceptional food AND service!!!…read more The Redneck BBQ Lab is conveniently located right off of I-40 and is a great place to stop in for a great meal. If you are traveling (or just need fuel) you can fill up at the fuel pumps while grabbing a bite to eat, as this restaurant is connected to a gas station! The brisket here is tender and has a great balance of fat and lean meat. Their competition sauce goes great with it, along with some freshly brewed sweet tea to chug it down! The jalapeño mac and cheese is awesome but you can definitely taste the jalapeño. It is not subtle. They also give you a biscuit AND a slice of cornbread! Even though this is a "help yourself" restaurant with free seating and grab-it-yourself utensils, there is an employee frequently walking around asking if he can refill your drinks and is welcome to strike up a conversation with you. The one in particular is extremely friendly, and is always at the restaurant to make your experience more enjoyable!
