I had the pleasure of attending a private cooking class with chef Tracy recently. I'd have to say…read morethat I'm more than happy that I did. From the initial meeting, my party and I were greeted with chef Tracy's infectious joy. The meal of choice that we chose was Indian cuisine. This meal including the following: *Naan bread *Hummus with chickpeas, tahini and olive oil *Chicken Tikka Masala with spices *Basmati Rice with lentils, turmeric, tomatoes and cilantro & cauliflower. Collectively, I'd have to rate our experience with chef Tracy a 10/10 unforgettable time. Her knowledge of cooking, knack for health conscious choices, use of unique spices & her enthusiasm for educating others is ultimately something that should be shared with others. Whether you're looking for a fun date night experience or to elevate your cooking skills, definitely do yourself a favor and book. ‍

Our entree was shrimp and grits, and we wrapped things up with southern style peach cobbler. Chef Robert was personable, and our food was outstanding! Highly recommend!

Love, love, love this place!…read more They had lots of olive oils, vinegars, spices, soup mixes, sauces, jams, teas and coffees. The team was super helpful! We were lead through all the different types of oil and vinegars. One of the ladies showed us what products worked well together, what to prepare different dishes with, and highlighted goods that were made locally. We were very impressed with the selection and service! I strongly recommend you visit this shop!

Oh my gosh! What the actual...?…read more How has no one told me about this first of all, and second of all, how was it not on Yelp before I added it? I walked in and was completely overwhelmed by the sheer greatness of this place. I've never seen anything like it. More grills in stock than I have ever seen one place have. Now that I start typing, I could go on and on, but it's actually more everything having to do with grilling, smoking, cooking with flavor, tools, tips, techniques, cooking classes, cook books, wood, charcoal, pellets, holy shit I could be here all day. I got a few things today, but without a doubt will be back for more. Just check out my pics man! It's like.... What Heaven would be like if...

The BBQ Allstars had a shipping error and sent me the wrong package. I called the store and a nice…read moregentleman answered. He asked if it would be OK if he came and exchanged the package the next day after he got off work (in Lakeland). I said sure no problem and he showed up a little before 7:00. We exchanged the package and he gave me two extra bags of bbq pork rinds from Melissa Cookston and they were the best I've ever had. Five star review for the Allstars!

This is a fantastic restaurant. It is run by dietetic and hospitality students. The restaurant is…read moreopen to the public every Tuesday and Thursday for lunch and dinner. Lunch is from 11:30am to 1:00pm. Dinner is from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. A meal consists of a drink, plate of bread, appetizer, entree, and dessert. Entire cost of a meal $7.00 for students and $10.00 for general public after tax. The quality of the food is on par with eating on the square. You can't beat the price and quality. The students are always friendly and it is a lot of fun to eat here. Where else can two people have a nice sit down meal for less than $15 bucks?

I've returned to Lenoir Dining several times over the past year hoping that it will improve...or…read morethat they'd at least provide comment cards since the goal is to educate hospitality industry students. The food ranges from good to inedible. Today is an example of typical Lenoir quality: the salad was good, the watermelon salsa was all yellow, watery and did not taste of watermelon, the beef kabobs were tasty but overcooked, and the turtle brownie desert was a messy pile on the plate...ugly, drenched in caramel, and littered with burnt chewy parts. The service and the atmosphere is always awkward. The dining area is a long narrow space and groups of servers (students) pile up at one end of the room chatting, with the cash register at the other end right next to the tables. It is dreary, and feels more like a funeral home than a casual dining venue. The students are learning and the price is reasonable for a 3 course meal...if it was all tastey. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect the managers, chef and staff to try to learn from their diners. Time to expect more of Lenoir Dining...or I'm calling chef Ramsey!
