Whole Truth Lunchroom has a great mission, and the food definitely lived up to the experience…read more Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The fried chicken was crispy and fried hard just the way I like it, with plenty of flavor in every bite. The greens were seasoned perfectly, and the yams were sweet with a great texture--not too hard and not too soft. I visited on a hot summer day, and the restaurant can get pretty loud and a little stuffy when it's busy. Thankfully, they had fans placed throughout the space, which made it much more comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. If you're looking for good soul food and want to support a place with a meaningful mission, Whole Truth Lunchroom is worth a visit. I'd definitely go back.

A ministry of the church next door, Wilson's Whole Truth Lunchroom is a hidden gem. Located a few…read moreblocks from downtown and run by dedicated volunteers, this is an old school cafeteria with the type of food you'd expect from Southern church ladies. Dishes vary from day to day but the fried chicken, baked chicken, and fried pork chops are staples. Plates come with two sides and you can see from the photo why the blackeyed peas are so good (spoiler alert - it's bacon, lots of bacon). Collards are also delicious and the yams are mildly sweet without being cloying. The banana pudding is gloriously warm and the meringue is fluffy. The pudding is a touch too sweet and I could have done with more bananas but it was large enough to share. The staff is genuinely happy to see you and are happy to talk about their work, if you like. The room is a bit bare bones and the bathrooms are rudimentary and cramped but everything works. There is parking directly in front of the restaurant. Thanksgiving take-out is available for pre-order (see photo). I have a strong feeling you won't go wrong with any of the choices.

I'm not sure what to think about this place. I really enjoy Korean food, so I was excited to learn…read moreWilson was getting a new dining establishment that featured Korean food especially since it was endorsed by Guy Fieri! We watch the construction and renovation of the former Golden Coral location take place over many long months. Then when they opened, there were no announcements or promotions that I was aware of... it just quietly opened. After driving by multiple times, I decided to stop by and order takeout. I got the Bulgogi. The young man that took my order was quite friendly and one of the chefs came out to speak. He was very nice too, but while waiting on our food, I noticed the restaurant was pretty empty, no one else was there dining. Every one else there looked like staff except I was a bit puzzed on the two ladies at the bar area with infants. They were neither working, drinking or dining. Shortly after our food came out and I headed home. So when I eat Korean food, I expect bold flavors. What we had was very mild/bland, which was somewhat disappointing. Perhaps, I just came on a bad day.

It's definitely home cooked and gives that feeling. I could tell that their loss in February of what I can only imagine was like a grandma to them was still present in the book inside the entrance. We will definitely return.

The waitress was friendly and let us sit wherever we wanted. It was bright and colorful inside. Beautiful DR inspired art covered the walls in the form of a mural and there was a small bar with a TV. They were out of quite a few items like the Oxtail and only had Tilapia fish despite having red snapper on the menu. Not sure if they sold out earlier in the day or hadn't restocked the restaurant. We started with drinks. 2 of us ordered the Sangria and another one ordered the Grenadine Margarita. The drinks are the reason they're only getting 4 stars. We all agreed that we didn't think there was any alcohol in them. The Sangria clearly had concord grape juice in it (very distinct taste). The friend who recommended the restaurant stated that it was different that the last time she was there and that the last time was not during a happy hour. I would rather get a quality product at full price instead of a discounted mediocre one for half price. For food, we started with beef empanadas and shared one chicken and cheese. They were hot and fresh wkth well seasoned meat and flakey crust. For my entree I ordered the Pernil Mangu. The Mangu was garlicky just like I like it. Ithey made it fresh because we could hear them pounding it. We all got different variations of the Mangu and it was all served in the same sauce. It was ok. It was a bit waterybut fulfilled it's purpose of preventing the dish from being dry. The Pernil was super flavorful. I do wish I could have gotten some pieces of crispy skin in it. My frinds got the shrimp and the chicharron. They were both good. The Chicharronwas perfectly seasoned and crispy!! Overall a good meal with plenty of leftovers. I definitely recommend.

We were on our way to another store and the smell caught our attention. We decided to duck into the…read morebuilding to see what was going on. We went entered it was clean, smelled really good, and surprisingly no other customers in the restaurant. The owner/manager told us we just missed the crowd (I actually checked on IG and there was a large crowd before - but had left right before we arrived). At first, we were just going to check out the menu. However, the staff started talking to us and showing some of the different entrees they had for the evening. We decided why not? So, we were instructed to sit down and they would come over. Once we made ourselves comfortable, the staff starting bring out samples of various drinks/juices that they offered for us to try. Very sweet gesture and the Soursop was amazing! We reviewed the menu with the owner/manager and decided on our entrees. While awaiting, chips and salsa was brought out for us to enjoy. The salsa was good, the chips didn't taste homemade, and the ketchup/mayo I could go without. Overall a good little snack while you wait (the salsa and chips). It didn't take long for us to be brought our meal. Everything was hot and fresh. Now, if you are looking for steakhouse tender steak, this ain't it. You need not even come with that mindset - this is like having a meal with your family. The potato salad, the potato.salad. my my my lol that's all I have for it! Just know, you are here to enjoy the local flavors of a different culture in Wilson. They nailed taking you to their native land via the food, the service, and the music.
