The Pointer's BBQ food truck visited my neighborhood this week, and it was a real treat! I ordered…read morethe pulled pork and ribs. Both meats were smoky, savory, and full of flavor. The ribs came with a tangy barbecue-vinegar sauce, while the pulled pork was served with a classic vinegar-based sauce. As a fan of vinegar-style barbecue, I thoroughly enjoyed both. The ribs were mostly fall-off-the-bone tender. The end pieces came apart easily, though the middle pieces held on just a bit. The food truck staff was very friendly and efficient, getting orders out quickly and with a smile.

Man, WHAT A SANDWICH! I got the chicken cutlet sandwich with prosciutto (Uncle Primo's Chicken…read moreCutlet), and it absolutely did not disappoint. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time!!! The chicken cutlet was delicious, the prosciutto added a great salty flavor, and the whole thing just worked. I would absolutely go back just for this sandwich. The only downside was the wait. We stood in line for about 45 minutes in the heat, and since it's a pretty small spot with no real waiting area, it can be a rough experience during the summer. There also wasn't any shade or any umbrellas, so standing outside for that long was definitely brutal (highly recommend they add a couple umbrellas or covering to help). That said... what a sandwich. The food was good enough that I'd happily come back and wait again. I'd just recommend going on a cooler day or being prepared to stand outside for a while.

I came by on a Sunday right around opening time and the line was wrapped around the block. It took…read moreme about 75 minutes from getting in line to get my sandwich. I got half an uncle primos chicken cutlet sandwich ($11). It was a lot of food and was loaded with chicken! Even just the half sandwich was too much for me to eat at once. While it was tasty, I did feel like it was missing something, and personally didn't find it to be worth the wait. But if the line were shorter in the future I'd come back and try other yummies from the menu.

Great addition to downtown Wake Forest food scene…read more This spot shares dining space with the Burger Shoppe on S. White St. Order at the counter, the food is served to your table. It's a fairly extensive menu for breakfast. Time from order to service about 10 minutes. Food is good! Tried chicken and waffle. It's a plate-sized waffle, freshly made, topped with breaded chicken. Chicken is tender but a little dry. Nothing that a nice helping of maple syrup didn't fix. Also tried the morning waffle special. This is a waffle, topped with an egg, bacon and avocado slices. Served piping hot, freshly cooked and a sizable portion. Always good to have more quality dining choices in town. I'll be back!

Ordered the French toast with a side of bacon and fried potatoes…read more The French toast was very good, generous with the syrup, which was nice. The bacon was cooked nice and crispy. The fried potatoes were not very good, pretty soft and flavorless. Definitely would order from here again, but would try other entrees and sides.

Got a couple sandwiches to go late afternoon on a recent Thursday. At the off-hour of 4:00 I had…read morethe place to myself. Place looked spotless (99 sanitation), and smelled awesome (they had just cooked come garlic). Ordered a turkey reuben ($16) for me, and a pastrami reuben ($17) for him. Waited a few minutes and took home a couple warm beauties. My turkey was piled high with thinly sliced turkey breast. Bread was awesome even though not the usual rye. Sauerkraut very good. However, I could not taste the swiss cheese or the honey mustard that were supposed to be on there. I would have actually preferred less meat and more flavor from cheese and mustard. Even more sauerkraut would have helped as the turkey ate dry after awhile. Husband loved the pastrami one. Said it was some of the best pastrami he's ever had and he could taste the grilled onions, the spicy mustard and the cheese on his. Will definitely go back, but would order differently for me.

Mario's Pizzeria opened in Louisburg around October of 2024. I knew the name as Wake Forest has a…read moreMario's Pizzeria as well. So it seemed the perfect spot for lunch before my performance nearby. (It is behind the Hardees and next to a physical therapy facility.) The restaurant has dine-in and take out available. You just order at the counter and will be given a number and your food will be brought to your booth or table. The menu is pretty large with pizzas, pastas, salads and sandwiches. The dining area is large and casual. There is plenty of seating but a lot of open space so you have room to enjoy your meal. When dining out, I tend to order dishes I don't make at home. I was planning to go with an eggplant dish here but decided I wanted shrimp so went with the fettuccini alfredo as I don't cook that either. It came with a small loaf of bread. So I will need to return for some eggplant and maybe a pizza. They have fountain drinks and some beverages in a coolers up front. I thought I'd get an iced tea but there wasn't any near the fountain drinks, I don't like Pepsi so got a Dr. Pepper. I hope tea is added as the Wake Forest location has iced tea. I enjoyed my meal very much. The portion didn't look that big when it arrived but I found out that plate was a bit deceptive as I struggled to finish. I did eat all the bread too as I couldn't resist as it was that good. The staff was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. Parking was easy enough to find in the large parking lot. Mario's is a great addition to Louisburg.

Got the…read moreItalian Stallion on Foccacia for Husband, while I went for a large Salad with Provolone (my choice of cheese). With a 20% tip, it was $24 for both items. Husband's sandwich smelled and looked wonderful. It was large and he said it tasted great and that it had "good quality meat". Meanwhile, for just a dollar less my salad was a big disappointment, but that's really my fault because it was just what the menu said it would be...lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and cheese with a Greek dressing. Yawn. Fortunately I had some kalamata olives and pepperoni at home to doctor it up. Would have loved to try the crab bisque others have raved about, but tonight's soup was chicken gnocchi, which didn't call out to me. Next time I would definitely skip the salad and stick with what they are named for...their sandwiches!
