Today Nov 3 2025 My wife and I went to eat at Samanthas Hometown Grill in Millton NC. One of the…read moreprimary reasons we went there was because there were several different Hoagies on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Hoagie. My wife, a retired restaurant consultant and food critic chose what she expected would be far more simple...a bacon, and egg, sandwhich. My expectations were simply a good hoagie, such as : A classic roast beef hoagie typically contains thinly sliced roast beef and a combination of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a long, fresh hoagie roll. Common condiments include mayonnaise, mustard, or horseradish sauce. We also ordered a side of french fries. After 20 minutes of looking wearily at a plethora of dangerous looking wiring McGievers, our food arrived. My wife had an adequately prepared sandwhich, the French Fries were hot and tasty My Hoagie, and this sadly is true, consisted of chopped up bologna on a sub sandwhich roll, nothing else . I stared at it while I ate the Fries. I do not eat processed meat, and did not endevour to taste for fear of chemical inbalance. I have seen that particular meat before. It was at the nearby Piggly Wiggly labeled Roast Beef Bologna. I actually like real Roast Beef, I realize my mistake was expecting an actual Roast Beef Hoagie

An adorable place for a good burger!…read more I got the Virginia Woolf and wowza the black bean patty was 10/10! I love a homemade black bean burger that doesn't have corn. The fries were a 11/10 - perfectly hot, perfectly seasoned. The restaurant itself was small but plenty of outdoor and dog-friendly seating. The servers were all very attentive and it was the perfect spot for us to grab a lunch. Would've taken photos but I couldn't help but dig in when it came out!

We sat outside and enjoyed the scenery. It is a beautiful location right next to the River District. There's a lovely park, splash pad, and playground right along the Dan River. We were so stoked to eat right there. The interior of the restaurant was so fun. We loved the decorations. Books everywhere! The server was ok at first. But when we were done, I did not like how she presented me the check. She just quickly flashed me an amount on a screen, and then hid the screen. I asked if I could pay cash and she accepted it but did not bring me a check even then. We ordered 3 burgers that sounded really good. Such a disappointment. The burger meat in each was shaped perfectly and was as hard as a hockey puck. They appeared to be cooked medium but the meat was tough and gristly. I have no idea how they got all the burgers the exact, uniform hockey puck shape. They must be like those frozen ones you can get at Costco. But $17.95 for a frozen hockey puck? At one point, while my kids were telling me how gross the patties were, while my husband and I told them they had to eat them to go play on the playground, I flagged the server down and asked what type of meat it was. She said beef. However, it did not taste like beef. Thank goodness for all the toppings because if they were plain burgers, they would have been inedible. We were so hungry though so we ate what we could. Notably, the buns also tasted cheap like they had just come out of a stale grocery store deli bag. The seasoned fries, sweet potato fries, the homemade ranch and ketchup, and salad with homemade vinaigrette were ok. After we left, I added up what we ordered again and realized she must have charged me an extra $12 to swap out a veggie patty for a beef patty. I was not told there would be an upcharge so felt a little swindled, especially with how she presented the check. I wish I had kept the veggie patty though, because it probably would have been better. Also my kid who had said the burgers were so gross puked right after we left and immediately felt much better and enjoyed 2 hours on the playground. My other kid was jealous of the other one puking. Like you can't make this kind of stuff up. This spot has so much potential. I would honestly hope to visit again just to chill outside but would not ever eat the burgers.

This restaurant is in a strip shopping center and in the area of local hotels. We were seated near the bar which was a nice booth with raised barriers between tables which made conversation easy. Our server Kaydi quickly came over to offer drinks, an energetic tone, a positive smile, and the refreshing Southern "yes ma'am/sir." I got the Blues Brothers Burger with sweet potato fries, a very tasty lunch, and filling. We were offered to-go drinks, a cordial touch. Pricing averaged about $25 per person, a very reasonable price for the value delivered. Overall, we will certainly be back the next time we're driving along the east coast. I hope we're lucky enough to meet Kaydi again, as she's an asset to this establishment.

Thank you to the young lady that had more than enough patience with me, as I changed my mind several times about the burger I wanted. I settled on the Lonestar burger with a side of chili cheese fries and honestly couldn't finish it. The burger would have been more than enough! Layered with a criminal amount of toppings, the onion rings and bacon with the sauce was just indulgent, really a great burger! I had to end up spitting my food with my family, because in comes the chili cheese fries for the finisher! It was an entire carry out tray filled with cheese sauce and chili.

She also got onion on hers. The paper bag holding 2 burgers was close to 3#! When I opened mine I was amazed. It was in like a LARGE Kaiser bun and the meat stuck outside the bun all the way around. The meat itself was at least 2" thick. So quantity passed the test. Besides being hard to eat as it was so thick, this was the best burger I have had in my 73 years on this earth. We can't wait to go back and order the BLT's as we have heard they are amazing also. This area has some "good" burgers for $12.00- $14.00 that are no where near as good and 1/2 as large. Our new favorite burger place near Roxboro NC. DId I mention the bill for these 2 monster burgers tax included was $14.00 total.
