This place has come recommended and was a nice surprise to see on my way home from work…read more They have a plethora of options, and usually a big line outside regardless of location. I usually see them at the old Kmart location. Their desserts are very rich. The chocolate has a very strong taste, so make sure you have a sweet tooth if you're stopping in here. Our favorite treat to try so far is the Death by Chocolate pound cake. When I see them again, I'll also try their oatmeal creme pies that are homemade.

This place was parked at pisgah the other day so my partner and I split a veggie burger from here…read more The staff were super friendly and helpful. The meal was huge. It was timely in arriviste but you can tell they crafted it with care. That thing was huge and diverse. We opted for the bbq one and it had bbq sauce and pineapples. I was thrilled to learn they make their own burgers. Heck yeah. We opted for a side of Mac and cheese and were not disappointed. It was creamy and delicious. The whole meal was pretty heavy, though. So be warned- might be best after a long hike or to split. I was thankful to share it.

The kelp burger is a MUST try, it is unlike any other veggie burger I've ever had! I am obsessed! And the shrimp Alfredo is unreal. The texture is so comparable to shrimp. The taste, even better! I will get both of these items many more times. Definitely keep up with their schedule and catch them anytime they're in town. You won't be disappointed. Everything hits the spot great food, great people, you can't go wrong.

Can't complain about that! Our waitress, Ashley, was as kind as could be. Very attentive and so friendly. Our table also enjoyed the pineapple soft serve ice cream. There is a good range of options on the seafood buffet, plus a salad bar and some sides such as fries, coleslaw, and potato salad that are offered. While the outside of the restaurant may appear a little run down, the food and service are great.

Shortly it became very crowded! Ordered ribs but advised not ready until 5pm. Got the pulled pork baked potato. Pork didn't seem cooked well. Very light pink and wet. I didn't complain. Just swept it off & ate as much of the huge potato that I could. Brisket ( we were originally told it would not be ready till five then they came back and said they did have it.) very dry and the plate not worth $34! May be bad timing? They were highly recommended. Almost $100 for lunch which would have been fine if we enjoyed the meal.

Food excellent, restaurant/atmosphere could be really nice but the ordering process degrades the…read morewhole experience. Ordering at the counter is very inefficient and time consuming. Line ends up being very long and out the door at many times and really takes up so much inside that it just takes away from the whole experience. Table service would change this whole experience or at least a hybrid model of both maybe, if someone orders a cut of meat then maybe the waitress could give the customer a ticket that they take to the counter to watch their meat be cut. Or a peddler setup where they come to the table and cut the meat for you. Just about anything has to be better than the ordering system now. The restaurant is too beautiful and has too much potential to give people a fast food experience. Doesn't matter how good the food is, if the experience and atmosphere doesn't match then people will not come back.

Let me preface this by saying I really want this place to be a success and I hope they figure out…read morethe ordering flow issues. If I truly put how I'm feeling, I'd probably rate it a 3/5, but I hate to do that to a local business with great people. Food = 5/5 Fantastic brisket, inventive sides, shockingly good cheese curds, great sauces, and all around great menu Facilities = 5/5 Beautiful building and space. You can tell the love and attention and money that was put into the place. Parking lot is too tight, better signage is needed, and some of the design, while beautiful and open, is wasted space and contributed to the ordering/flow issues. But overall a beautiful place. Service = 5/5 I'm tempted to go lower here, as folks just need to move quicker, but everyone was so nice and kind. They even gave us some extra sides and things to try that we didn't ask for. Great folks. Ordering = 1/5 I sure hope they figure this out. At one point I looked around and there were 15-20 people seated and 40-50 people standing in line. I personally counted 25+ people who got in line and left. We stood in line for 40 minutes before we got to the front to order. There's got to be a better, more efficient flow. My ideas: 1) Taking/firing orders from the hostess stand and having the prep team start the work. You could still see them chop the order and stand in line, but there wouldn't be so much talking and chatting and hemming and hawing while at the board ordering meat. 2) Use some of the wasted space over by the bar and expand the meat/chopping station so it isn't one person doing the meat/chopping. 3) Imitate JD's down the road and place an order in line, then go sit down and have them bring it to you. But anything has got to be better than a 45+ minute wait standing in line. Summer heat is bad enough, but I can't imagine how bad that wait will be in the line outside in winter or rain. Again, I sure hope they figure it out. Morganton needs a great place with great folks like this. The ownership that put so much love and attention into this place deserves it too. Fingers crossed!

taqueria rating for a californian-…read more this taqueria is amazing! It's Honduran in region, and the al pastor at least seemed to reflect that - it was amazing. They sell huaraches which I did not get but you never see at a taqueria, and they looked amazing. A the guy warned me about their hot sauce, which is an oil and ground chili sauce. Apparently people have complained it was too hot, but i managed to convince him to give me 2. If you like spicy food, make sure you get 2 of the sauce cups!! He said i wouldn't use even one of the cups on the whole thing but ended up using both with burrito to spare, but it was the perfect amount. AMAZING SAUCE. Five stars all around, this spot rules and i'm a picky mf'er when it comes to a taqueria. SO BOMB

They accommodated us and would definitely recommend it ! They live in Marion and we first went there during Helene when my daughter came down to do her laundry since none of us had power! Ryder and I went next door to order some food and they were so sweet to him it left an unforgettable impression! Thank you for helping make his birthday special tonight!

Excellent customer service and flavorful wines! We visited their beverage truck at the NC State…read moreFairgrounds. The two employees in the truck greeted us and informed us of their business and available products. They offered canned wines, wine slushies, and wine slushy to-go mix. We tasted each of the 4 canned wines and the slushy. I personally liked the blackberry wine best. The slushy was refreshing and sweet, perfect for a NC summer day. The employees were friendly and patient. They answered all of our questions and are clearly passionate about their business. We chose to purchase the refillable slushy cup with $5 refills at any of the events they attend. Later in the day we returned to purchase to-go slushy mix to make in the future. All you do is put it in the freezer! Overall, we had a great experience here and recommend these wines to others!
