What a hidden gem in the quaint town of Cramerton! Food was absolutely delish and service was great as well. I had the salmon over grits, a friend had a burger and another got the scallops. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It's upscale vibes without the ridiculously overpriced of paying for more of ambience than quality food. We got the sweet potato creme brûlée to share and let me tell you, that was the best thing ever! So velvety and creamy without being overly sugary. It was the perfect amount of sweet and we couldn't get enough of it. Portion sizes are great as well.

Pork belly appetizer

We checked out the newly opened Skillet Southern Bistro in Cramerton on a Friday night, and it's safe to say it's off to a strong start! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, seated promptly, and enjoyed attentive service throughout the evening. The vibe was cozy yet lively and perfect for a relaxing end-of-week dinner. We kicked things off with cocktails, and both of mine were impressive. The cucumber basil martini was refreshingly crisp, and the blueberry lemonade martini packed the perfect balance of tart and sweet. For starters, we tried the coffee pork belly appetizer, and WOW! This was the star of the night. Rich, tender, and full of flavor, we'd come back for that dish alone. Dinner didn't disappoint either. The crab cake entrée was well-seasoned with minimal filler, and the shrimp and grits were creamy, comforting, and everything you'd want in a Southern staple. We had just come back from the beach and clearly weren't ready to let go of seafood season LOL. To end the meal, we ordered a strawberry balsamic dessert to go, which was tasty, but our server left us with a little food FOMO by showing us the banana pudding. Next time, that's definitely our pick!! All in all, a great addition to the area. Thoughtful dishes, standout cocktails, and a comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back and my meal will be cocktails, pork belly entree, and banana pudding

Cajun pasta
Marcos B.

Wow, impressed! Very helpful and cordial staff. Ample space inside, a bit noisy but spacious. Food was absolutely fantastic. I got the steak sandwich which was perfect and the best color I think I've ever had. Wife got the Cajun chicken pasta and it was also very very good.

Shrimp and Grits
Matthew R.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of Cramerton. Started with the Coffee rubbed pork belly with a Chardonnay. The to the Shrimp and Grits for the main. Finished off with dessert. Amazing food and service. We need more restaurants like this to be supported. Will absolutely be back for more.

Crab cake appetizer
Lori S.

Great lunch spot. Sat out back and enjoyed a quiet spot under an umbrella. I had crab cake and fried green tomato appetizer (and really good fries) and husband had shrimp tacos with side of Mac and cheese. Great meal with right size portions!

Tilly's Messy Burger. SO good.

Michelle & I had toured the big town of Belmont and decided on here for an early Wednesday dinner…read moreat 5p. Ashley was our server and she was great! We each had the Wedge salad and I added the mahi mahi. Michelle had the wedge salad also and the mahi mahi entree! She raved about it! I liked the menu and the ambience of the place, it felt very comfortable though it was just a little on the dark side. There is no parking garage, only street parking which is very very dangerous on MAIN street! Not a great option the parallel park either. It wasn't busy but the seating hostess set a group of four very LOUD guys right behind us and we had to raise our voices to talk and be heard. We liked it overall and will certainly return

If I had to rank the steaks solo - 5 stars. They were amazing. Everything else? Well, it all fell…read moreshort. Came to celebrate my husband's birthday, and chose Old Stone because it had a kid's menu and we want a "family friendly fancy" environment. Our server was just, eh. In a way he seemed bothered to have a table. Chalked it up as maybe a bad night, but it didn't enhance our experience. We ordered the pork belly appetizer, and the pork belly itself was burnt and the peaches were mushy - almost baby food texture. A miss for us. The steaks, again, amazing, perfectly cooked - even my daughter's steak tips. The sides however, another miss. The kids fries were mushy, and tasted like they had been sitting out a while. My husband's mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant/from a box and lacked the bright white color or fluffy texture. My wedge salad was drenched in dressing, and the dressing itself was runny. It certainly wasn't what I anticipated for a steakhouse wedge. It seemed like a rushed after thought. The other part that was a letdown - every single plate we were handed was broken. Every single one. When you're paying steakhouse prices, I'd like to see presentable plates. One, sure I could see it slipped by, but every one? That's just laziness on replacing them in my opinion. I'll say it a third time, steaks were delicious...but the rest, well it was just lacking, and not sure the steaks hold their own to justify another trip.

Finally made it to this Italian restaurant after being attracted to their cute tables for 2 which…read moreare setup outside. We both had pasta dishes which were delicious - Paccheri En Pesto, and Tagliatelle Ragu with extra meatballs. Our fried calamari appetizer however, was a disappointment. Seems that the oil was too hot cause it was dark brown and not as tender. Plus it had many bits and pieces of fried batter. Sara was our server and took good care of us. But Ashley (a helper), went above and beyond! When she brought me extra bread, I pointed out the mess under an unoccupied table. She told me that she would take care of it and did so immediately. What an outstanding employee! Both Sara and Ashley wore smiles all the time and because of Ashley going above and beyond, I will not remove a star for the calamari. We will be back to sit outside (too cold this time).

Early afternoon, so it wasn't busy...but if we were there on a lunch break we would've DEFINITELY been late going back to work. Well this must've been a bad day...from the host to the last server. The guy took out order, he brought 2 Cesar salads and the lettuce was warp, homemade croutons were horrible. Then we had to keep asking for bread and oil, I see why...tasted horrible. We waited over an hour for our food that was VERY bland. Calamari was horrible, my niece ordered chicken alfredo and they forgot the chicken. The spaghetti/meatballs was not good either. No one from staff tried to accommodate us or make things right.

On our last night the area visiting family, we were supposed to have dinner with long (l-o-n-g)…read moretime friends but they had to cancel at the last hour. So we checked locally and discovered a new (to us) Greek restaurant. My wife and I arrived about 7:00 PM on Thursday, after having made an online reservation. When we arrived, plenty of open booths , so we were seated and brought menus. Any new Greek place we must try their Spanakopita so we ordered one to split. We also decided to split a Greek Salad and a Moussaka. Our Spanakopita came quickly. We divided it and tested. Hmm. Not bad, but not what we're used to having. We actually prefer more filo than here. Her salad came and we divided part of it also. It was crisp, cold and yummy. After a bit my Moussaka arrived. To our surprise it came in a custard bowl and looked like a Shepherd's Pie. Unusual since we've always been served Moussaka in squares like a Lasagna. It was fantastic, a perfect blend of meat and vegetables. Of course next we needed dessert. My wife couldn't decide on the Baklava Cheesecake or the Caramel Cheesecake, so she got both! I liked the Caramel but so sweet I had to drink water with it. Good food, nice ambiance. Service a bit slow and told us they did have a military discount, but somehow forgot to use it. There appeared to be huge dividing panel that maybe closed off larger room for special events.

The food was perfect! It was perfectly seasoned on every side and I LOVE any type of meat that is…read morewell seasoned and not salty. I got my lamb chops well done and they were so juicy! My Husband got his lamb chops medium well and they were perfect too. I savored every bite of it! The steamed broccoli was also seasoned very well and they were not too soft and not too hard either. The Baklava sundae was also a very good amount. Me and someone else shared the dessert and it was fulfilling. (Not pictured) The coffee, cheesecake, hummus dip and more entrees ordered. - The coffee was very strong and bitter. - The cheesecake was really good and all the different types & flavors of the drizzle was good too. - The hummus and pita bread was very good as well! Great taste to the hummus! The ambiance was calm, modern, yet elegant and classy! The service was also top notch. I do like that you have to reserve, because that makes the experience more personal and I loved that part about it! We went to the restaurant after our church service on Sunday around 2PM and when we were leaving, there was just one other party there, that had a reservation but it was so quiet, you would not have been able to tell. If you like something quiet and intimate, this is the place! The restrooms were very clean and beautiful as well. It did not smell very well so possibly some air fresheners would be helpful, but overall, the good outweighed the bad. Everything will never be perfect but this place was a definite 5/5 rating!
