    Great grilled chicken sandwich and probably the best crispy onion rings I've ever had. I was there for lunch and while there were some regulars in there, it wasn't too busy and very welcoming. Service was fast and kind. Full bar and it looked like the beer selection was great.

    I tend to gravitate to this spot when I visit friends in Burlington. It seems to be a cool bar, they also have a kitchen but I haven't tried their food this time. The bartenders were very helpful and nice. Place is clean. We had a few drinks and of course some shots.

    Staff was great, drinks were great, food was pretty good, atmosphere was outdated. I had the codfish sandwich and my husband had chicken wrap. Not enough for leftovers. Wish they had a vegetarian option.

    Philly cheesesteak and homemade chips. Pretty good sub. Chips were undercooked.

    Piedmont Ale House is a neighborhood bar and grill tucked away into an unassuming strip mall. They have a small outdoor patio, the main seating area and bar, and a separate connected room with several larger tables for groups of four or more. My husband and I stopped in on a Thursday evening around 7pm and the place was pretty full. We sat ourselves at a table in the back room, and I noticed how laid back the place was, which is something I really appreciate. Sadly, it seemed that the relaxed vibe extended a bit too far and reflected on their cleanliness, as I noticed all of the chair rails were dusty, the floors a bit littered, our table sticky, and the plastic menus in need of replacing. Service, however, was wonderful. Our waitress was friendly and pretty attentive given how busy she was. My husband was happy with their on tap beer selection, deciding on Red Oak ($3 on Thursdays!). I went with a margarita and it wasn't the best, but thankfully I didn't pay much for it since it was also on special. They were out of the southwestern egg rolls I initially ordered, so I ended up going with the Philly cheesesteak and homemade chips. I enjoyed the cheesesteak's fresh bread; plenty of tender meat, peppers, and onions; and gooey cheese. It could have used more mayonnaise, but it was still quite good. The homemade chips were tasty but undercooked; if I had been hungrier, I definitely would have returned them and asked for a fresh batch. My husband absolutely devoured the cheeseburger and fries he ordered. He said that it was one of the best burgers he's had in quite a while, and this is a guy who loves burgers and eats them often. I want to return to Piedmont Ale House in the future. I think there are some things they seem to do really well, namely burgers and beer at really reasonable prices!

    Always a good time when we come to Piedmont! It's been our go to spot for almost 2 years now and we're never let down. The food here is not your regular bar dive, the burgers and chicken wings are something I CRAVE! Accompanied with plenty of beers and cider on tap, it makes this place truly something to want. The staff here are always kind and make sure you're taken care of and you always end up making friends with someone else who is there dining. We love to sit on the patio when the weather is nice! If you haven't been already, definitely check it out.

    I feel like every time I have came to this place the service is bad and slow. I tell myself every-time "maybe this time will be diffident". A few examples would include my most recent visit. I walked in with two bartenders present. Saw me walk in, sat at the bar. It took about 15 minutes for anyone to even come ask me what I needed. The people sitting two seats down from me were served twice before anyone even approached me.I ordered two orders of crab dip to go and it took damn near 30 minutes. I've been to this place several times hoping it would get better, but I think I am finished here. There are better places out there to go to. I'd use this place as a last resort.

    Fries salty and hard as a rock. Burger gross and patty tasted pre frozen. If you enjoy decent good food. Don't go here.

I loved how bright and open the restaurant was, and they had some really healthy plants all around the space. It's a huge pet peeve of mine if a place doesn't take care of their plants so I appreciated and noticed that! The food and drinks were delicious. I ordered the Sesame Shrimp Stir-fry and was super impressed at how flavorful it was! Definitely would order that dish again. My friends both enjoyed their dishes as well. We also all ordered drinks and enjoyed those too. We had three people who served / checked in on us and each one of them did a wonderful job. I would love to come back here again. Everything was great!

The sandwiches were delicious, though difficult to eat as the breading kept falling off of the fried chicken since it was a bit too thick. The salad looked disappointing, though our guest is not one to complain. The fried halloumi cheese was too heavily breaded - at a proportion of almost 1:1 cheese:breading. Service remains sketchy. Unsweet teas were (eventually) refilled, but with sweet tea, etc. It's the only game in town, really. But if they want people to drive to Saxapahaw, they may want to up their game if possible.

This is very much a neighborhood pub, and if you are not a regular, nobody knows your name or probably cares to. This place opened in 2006 in a down town area that was more than a little rough, but it took off, building a faithful following. COVID hit the spot hard, and the original owner closed the place in 2021. It reopened in 3022 under new management and seemed headed in the right direction. But recently things have turned very messy, with unpaid wages and vendor invoices, The State has several investigations going on at present, and survival seems a long shot. I have eaten here a handful of times and found the food and service to be rather good. The Fish and Chips (comes in small or large), the Celtic Chili, the Corned Beef and Cabbage, the Reuben, and the Bangers and Mash were are worth a shot. I don't sense these spot will be open much longer. A shame really.
