I had arranged to meet my friend here for lunch on a Thursday. I'm not ashamed to admit that I chose Thursday because I had reviewed the daily specials and I really wanted the country style steak and fixings. But then her schedule changed and we met on Tuesday. Lately, I just can't get enough shrimp and they had a 12 oz portion of fried gulf shrimp, so I ordered that with my two side choices of the hot chips and my mandatory two cups of ranch dressing and the fried squash. When she sat it down in front of me, she said, "small order of shrimp etc...". I hadn't remembered seeing a size choice but I thought I had missed it. Well, check out the picture. My plate was loaded with shrimp plus hush puppies! The light breading was seasoned really well and I could only eat about half. The hot chips were consistent in their crispness and the fried squash? OMG YUMMY! I polished those right off. My friend got the philly cheesesteak and hot chips. If you're wondering how many cups of ranch she ordered, also two. You don't get to be my bestie if you order 1 ranch! I really wanted to try the chocolate eclair cake but I was stuffed. Normally, I would have taken it to go but I wasn't going straight home and it was like 300 degrees outside, so nope. The checks aren't priced but I was expecting it to be $15 for the shrimp plus the tea. It rang up as $8.99 plus the tea. That's right, they only charged me for the Senior Meal which was 8 oz of shrimp. While I don't "think" I look 65, I really appreciated the huge savings. . I've eaten other things here in the past but hadn't reviewed so here's a list of what we've had that was delicious: baked spaghetti, meatball sub, cheeseburger club and for breakfast Hubs gets the hearty Plaza Sampler and I love their French toast with bacon! The service is always friendly and fast. They never let me run out of beverage which I greatly appreciate and they offer to go cups. Check out their menu, it's HUGE. read more

Plaza Restaurant - Fried gulf shrimp with hush puppies, hot chips, 2 ranch and fried squash. Doesn't that look delicious? - Italian Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

I hate writing this because Plaza 66 has been around forever and used to be one of my go-to spots. It's a staple in the community, and at one point I genuinely enjoyed eating here. But after my last couple experiences, I won't be going back. The first issue was with a lunch order. I asked for a steak sandwich and was given a Philly instead of the steak tip sandwich I expected. When I called to let them know, instead of owning the mistake or trying to make it right, I was told I "wasn't clear" and they just made what they thought I meant. The manager doubled down on that attitude--no apology, just a lecture about their menu. That kind of response is unacceptable. If there's confusion, you clarify it--you don't push it onto the customer. I gave them another shot later, hoping it was just a one-off experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered marinated steak strips with a salad (listed online around $14.99) and added a single chicken breast. When I picked it up, the total was $31. I asked why, and was told the chicken breast alone was $9. For one basic chicken breast, that's excessive. What made it worse was the reaction--I got a look like I was the problem for even questioning it. At this point, it's not just about the prices--it's the combination of being overpriced and the attitude behind it. If you're going to charge premium prices, the service needs to match. Right now, it doesn't. It's disappointing to see a longtime local spot go this direction, but based on these experiences, I can't justify going back. read more

Finally made it here for breakfast and I was happy I did. The prices are so cheap but the portions are plentiful. The food came out fast and I was very pleased with their omelet. read more

Plaza Restaurant - Food - Italian Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

Always a great experience here. Some of the best omelettes in town and some of the best people out there. Still highly recommend it to anyone read more

We went for breakfast. I had a veggie omelet , which was stuffed full! Probably the best omelet I've had in Kernersville. My husband had biscuits and gravy. He's searching for the best in town. This measured up well, but the gravy would have been so much better with sausage in it. Sausage gravy is the best! The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy. I appreciated that they had on ABC and NBC News instead of FOX . I'm avoiding restaurants that show Fox. I mentioned to the waitress that I liked that Fox wasn't on, and she was surprised . She said that's all she watches, so there's that. We will probably try it again for lunch or dinner. But it was a good choice for breakfast read more

If you are a fan of basic home/country cooking, this is the place. My wife and I eat here almost every week. The food is quite consistent, the service is always friendly, and they always appreciate your business. The food is always good, and they have daily specials that provide plenty of food. There is enough variety on their menu that you should find something to your liking. Normally I am not a big fried fish fan, but I often find myself ordering the popcorn shrimp from the senior menu - it is probably the best fried shrimp I've had anywhere in the area, and there is always more than I can eat. The banana pudding is absolutely fantastic - definitely home made and worth every calorie! If you are looking for ambiance, I'm afraid there isn't really any here to speak of. The booths and the carpet are worn, but who cares, when the food is this good, and the prices are right? Want a fancy place? Go elsewhere and pay a lot more. Want good basic food served with friendliness? This is your place. One last note - because there are a lot of regular customers here, you may occasionally find the wait staff seem to be wrapped up in a friendly conversation with folks at another table. Be patient and know that they will get to you, and show you the same friendliness as well. By the way - I've read all the 1 star reviews and I must say I've never had any experience like they describe. It makes you wonder if they actually even ate here. read more

What looks like just another strip mall restaurant turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Staff were very attentive, ambiance was dated but gave a hometown cozy feel. The food was fantastic, fresh and nicely presented. The menu is extensive so there's something for everyone. Will definitely be back. read more

It was an ok diner. Food was quick and tasted fresh. Nothing too exciting about the place, but that's not what it's about. It's just a down home meal for a good price. In my opinion, it's a small step up in food quality from Route 66 across the street. Like today, if I had a little time and I was by myself again, I'd probably drop in again. The server was super friendly and makes you feel very welcome and she was very attentive. I'm not a fast food guy, so this is as close to fast food as I get. Haha Give it a try if you want a down home meal! read more

The food was great and service is fantastic. Friendly wait staff and the food arrived quickly and well repaired.

Basic country cooking type restaurant. Ordered carry out, marinated chicken breast, green beans and pintos. Pintos we're amazing, green beans very salty and chicken breast was a tad dry. I'll try again with a meal in the restaurant. read more

I first found this place about a year ago. Their food is excellent. It reminds me of a family owned restaurant where I grew up. Great comfort food. The first time I ate here I ordered a Turkey Club sandwich. Honestly, it was one of the best ones I ever ate. Since then I have been back several times and brought others. My nephew loves their appetizer called the Smotherload. He can eat like a trucker, but this "appetizer' is so large he ended up having to take main meal he ordered home (trust me, it didn't go to waste). I like that this family owned restaurant really goes out of its way to make you feel at home. If you aren't sure what to order, ask the waitresses. They have given me several recommendations and all of them have been excellent too. read more

We stopped in this little place for lunch recently, and it remains as solid as ever. The menu is rather broad here offering some country cooking, a bit of Italian choices, and a few more Greek items, with a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well. We picked Country Style Steak with Stewed Apples & Fried Okra, and Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, and Fried Squash. Each item was excellent, not a single misstep. The Meatloaf is especially good here because they keep it simple with fresh ingredients, and a minimum of tomato sauce. The service is always efficient & friendly. read more

See all

After having eaten here many, many times, it is high time for me to update my review. This place is great; extremely consistent. I love the burger, they have a great (and huge!) chef salad, their souvlaki is delicious.... I could go on and on. Top that off with friendly owners and attentive staff, and what more could you ask for? read more

My wife and I have been going to Plaza Restaurant for years now and they rarely disappoint. Their motto is "The best kept secret in the Triad" and I have to agree. Their food is always good, service is quick, the place is clean and busy enough to let you know they're good without being difficult to get a table at. The Great: * The club sandwiches - Doesn't matter which, packed with meat, toasted well and very filling! * The french fries - No joke, aside from Five Guys which I consider to have the best french fries of anywhere around, the fries at Plaza are right up there. I don't know where they get them but they are ALWAYS crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. They also travel in take out boxes really, REALLY well and rarely need to be re-heated * The Flank Strips & Filet Tips - Steak is cooked well and to the temp you order it. The sides are generous and varied. Good stuff. * The Beet Salad Side - So few places ever have any beets on the menu and Plaza does them proud. One of my favorite sides to their dinners. * The service - Always warm, friendly and Johnny-on-the-spot. The Okay: * Seasoning - Some sides like the veggies (steamed broccoli, green beans, etc) could be seasoned better. Sometimes these are kind of bland. The Could Be Better: * The parking - I wish they had a better parking lot. The way it's laid out it's a bit difficult to find a spot and get in and out of. read more

Food was pretty good. I would order from here again. I would've gave 5 stars, but I actually had my food delivered and there's just certain things that are just better right there at the table. It's hard to eat steak off paper plates, but that would be my fault read more

A solid 4 stars. Service was good and fast, well we were one of the few customers at the restaurant. The decor is out dated, old fashion and need lots of energy. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich, I'm in lent. Is was very good, no too much mayonnaise and the bread was toasted perfect. The home made chips were crispy. If they work a little more in the decor, it will be a perfect little spot for lunch. read more

Great food, great service I recommend the club sandwiches they're my all time favorite. It gets busy at times but, it's worth the wait. Definitely going back it's basically a staple in Kernersville. read more

Horrible a waste of time and money the food was gross to say the least. The spaghetti was horrible I don't know how anyone could mess up spaghetti but it was disgusting. The waitress was phenomenal such a nice humbled person I did leave a tip because her service was great. read more

Came in today for the first time with a friend of mine expecting good food and good service I guess that's where we went wrong. The food was okay but the lady Dianna who was serving us was quite rude and completely unpleasant we went from first time customers to never be back again customers. What kind of restaurant markets themselves as an Italian restaurant but doesn't even have garlic bread? It's just Texas toast with butter. read more

The Greek Baked Chicken and Potatoes is a terrific weekly special. Combine with two of their many assorted sides and you've got a great meal. read more

2nd visit was better than the first, delicious, food nice and hot and fresh! Will definitely be returning a lot more often!!!

Food is good but grilled chicken salads are severely lacking!!! Only lettuce, onion and tomato for $10.00. Not even cheese!! Imagine that!! No excuse for not throwing on things that are in season like green pepper or carrots and how much could a table spoon of bacon bits, raisins or French fried onions actually cost. If it is meant to be someone's meal it should be a little comprehensive and appetizing. read more

Id hate to think where the people posting these reviews are used to eating. Ordered a cheeseburger club, n mayo was def spoiled. Dad ordered country style steak mashed potatoes n squash. Squash was super greasy, mushy, n tasted like baby food. Potatoes out of a box or bag. Steak about 4 ounces. If this is the best kept secret please dont tell any one about it! Id rather eat a piece of fresh bologna n 2 pieces of white bread Terrible, n manager was rude as well. Definitely if asked will give a hell no i wouldnt eat there Overpriced, tiny plates, cook never washed his hands, n was drinking while cooking. I guarantee the mayo been left out, n my stomach is hurting only 15 mins after from eating 3 bites. No wander havent found an inspection grade over 93 in this area. Worst food ive had in kernersville! Be glad to put my culinary accomplishments if needed read more

Got take out on a Groupon- was not disappointed. They have a VERY extensive menu and a HUGE list of daily specials. Food was tasty. Hubs enjoyed the chicken souvlakia and onion rings. You get a choice of two sides with almost everything and there is a huge list of those too- which changes daily. I had the Greek Salad, not as good or as big as Olympic's but tasty just the same. Service was courteous- I would eat there again. read more

Outstanding restaurant. Service is fast and accurate. Menu has a large variety of foods and everything is delicious. Prices are very reasonable. You can have an excellent meal for 8 to $10.00. read more

This is a hole in the wall type restaurant in Kernersville, I've been going here since I was a baby...new owners of course...but the quality of the the food and atmosphere has not changed. The people are wonderful and very helpful. I would highly recommend coming here if you are passing through K-vegas read more

I really enjoyed this place. The staff was very nice and their food was delicious. They have a huge range of food, Greek to Italian. I have tried a little bit of everything and I haven't had anything yet that I didn't like (though I'll say the baked spaghetti was bland, needed more seasoning). Overall, I really like this place. Quiet and nice place to eat, good prices. read more

The food here is actually pretty good and the service is always amazing. They have a great variety of options and it is very kid friendly. The people are kind and recognize regular faces. read more

Always a great choice and reasonably priced! The wait staff and management are very friendly and the food is delicious, can't beat some of the Greek specialties. Try the souvlaki! read more

The service was good and the food was pretty good. I had the Gyro and was definitely satisfied with my choice. I will go back next time I want a gold quick lunch read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast/early lunch. The breakfast was OK, the highlight was the hashbrowns which had a nice herb flavor. The lunch was a turkey club with plenty of turkey but the highlight of this plate was the french fries. The Plaza is a okay place to stop if you are in the area but not worthy of driving out of the way for. read more
