    Right next to Starbucks.

    On this side of the GSO airport, this is the only restaurant. That said, I was very impressed with the staff and the food. I didn't want a burger, so I decided to try the pulled pork sliders. Everything is cooked to order, so it's not fast food. Everything is served in styrofoam containers, which I thought was a little strange since I was clearly eating there. The pulled pork sliders were very hot and spicy. The buns were toasted, but very soft as well. I would have preferred a little more coleslaw on the sliders, so I recommend you ask for that when you order. It blends well with the heat. The seasoned fries were among the best I've had in any airport.

    Burgers and fries!

    I am not sure why this place has such low ratings. Every time I have eaten here I have enjoyed my meal and the nice heavy wine pours! Not to mention this is the only restaurant in the GSO airport. (So I'm glad it has good food and nice wine selection)! We ordered burgers fries and wine. Everything was fresh,delicious and hit the spot. I hope to take more afternoon/evening flights from GSO in hopes the local will be open!

    Four stars for a small airport restaurant. Bacon cheeseburger was smoky and close to the medium temp I asked for. Dressed in onion, lettuce, tomato. Fries were hot and crisp. I had a margarita because they were out of ingredients for the original drink I wanted. Margarita was a average, but what do you want from an airport restaurant in a pandemic? They did substitute silver tequila instead of gold for me. Social distancing enforced, staff in masks. Menu reduced, plenty of beer, wine, and a couple basic cocktails. For food, burgers, pork sliders, wings, Cobb and Caesar salad. Again, airport food, but hey, it's ok! Oh, and service great. Server really made sure I never needed anything!

    Really good chicken quesadilla! I even got some extra sour cream. Thanks Emily!

    We had a flight delay & we were really hungry. Even though the ovens had been turned off, we were able to order some chicken quesadillas. They were delicious! We would recommend the Local for dinner for any fliers.

    My friend and I had a later flight out of GSO and tried to get on an earlier flight so we could get home earlier, but we didn't make it. With two and a half hours to spare and this place being the only option that had alcohol, this was the winner. As well as this being a restaurant, it also has a grab and go section with sandwiches and drinks and such. There are plenty of options to sit in here, whether it's regular dining tables, booths, high tops or the bar. (It was super busy - I'm assuming because of the alcohol situation) It has floor to ceiling windows with the view of planes coming to and fro. First we chose a table by the window but then some people moved from the bar so we went and sat there. We ordered a margarita and a berry mojito from our server at the table and when we got to the bar saw that he was making our drinks. I thought that was weird because usually the bartenders do it but I just figured that maybe they were all trained and just switched around. As I was watching him I realized he had no idea what he was doing. He was taking forever and measuring out every little thing and putting it all in one glass and when I got the drink it tasted really bad. I told one of the bartenders I did not like my drink but I didn't know if that was just how they made them or if it was just made badly and she told me she would make me a new one. I told her I felt bad and didn't wanna waste her time if that was just how they are made and with pure southern hospitality charm she smiles and says "we can at least try". So she made me a new one and it was GREAT. As far as food options here, it's not a wide variety. Mostly fattening American food. We decided to order the chicken quesadilla's. I was kind of hesitant because usually quesadillas anywhere that's not a Mexican restaurant are an epic fail but I didn't want anything else on the menu. They tasted really good and it was a large amount of food. One thing I loved about sitting at the bar here is that there were outlets underneath so you can charge your phone/ laptop etc. I can't remember the girls name that ended up serving us at the bar (For any managers reading this it was 4.18.18 at around 5pm) but she made our experience very enjoyable because she was so friendly and happy! You can tell she loves her job and it makes such a difference for a customer's experience.

    Nothing special, typical expensive airport food. Service is good and the food is just meh. I had the low country omelette which had a tomato jamb and sausage, no wow factor. It's the only restaurant in the terminal, no high expectations and you're good.

My mom has been to Melt now 4x and keeps getting this sandwich because it's just that tasty. It's quite big and she usually comes home with half her sandwich. This was my first time and it's the kind of sandwich that'll bring me back again very soon. The fries were very good and Brussels were delicious! We did order the chocolate, peppermint cheesecake to share. It was really a piece of chocolate cheesecake (with a yummy oreo crust), topped with mint and candy canes. That's okay, though, because it was really good! The restaurant is pretty small and cozy so I can imagine there could be a wait sometimes.

    I've tried a few different things from Cagney's Kitchen over time--like their country steak with…read moregravy and rice, and some of their sandwiches--but nothing compares to their breakfast. Hands down, they have the BEST sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. The biscuit itself is perfect--soft, buttery, and consistent every single time. Whatever they're doing, they should never change that recipe. The sausage is super flavorful, and they give you two patties. At first, it feels like it might be too much... but somehow, by the end, it's exactly the right amount (because yes, I finish it every time). I always add strawberry jelly, and that sweet-and-savory combo with the salty sausage, melty American cheese, fluffy eggs, and buttery biscuit is just chef's kiss. 10/10. This is my go-to order, and I will always recommend their sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit.

Although they did have a lot of tables being used my friend and I were taken to a table quickly. Once we got the menu we saw that breakfast was served all day and they had a huge variety of options on the menu! After a while of contemplating what I wanted I finally decided that I wanted the popcorn shrimp. I could either get 2 sides or one side and a salad. I decided to go with the salad, which was super yummy. Once I got my plate I was surprised how good it was. The shrimp had a good taste, the mac and cheese was also very flavorful and wasn't too cheesy for me. My plate also had hushpuppies which I didn't came with the plate. Overall I would say my experience at Cagney's was great! Our server Yesenia was super kind, helpful, and attentive. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

I am happy to report that my last visit won me over... I now understand why so many people in Greensboro love this restaurant. It was a ridiculously cold night, and as soon as I walked in, the space looked and felt warm and inviting. I started with a cocktail, an espresso martini, and it was perfectly made. We ordered the crab dip for an appetizer, and the game changer was asking for crostini instead of the crackers they normally serve it with. I ordered the Panko crusted tuna served over wilted greens and polenta with a plum gastrique for my main dish. It was absolutely phenomenal. I loved it so much that I plan to go back within the next week or so to eat it again - it really was that delicious! My friend ordered a pasta dish which she also said was delicious. After this experience, I am definitely putting Green Valley Grill into my restaurant rotation.

We called a few days ahead and made reservations for a Friday evening, and I'm glad we did, as they were turning people away at the door when we got there because they were so busy. We were seated promptly, and our waitress came not longer after to take drink orders. She was very attentive throughout the meal, helping to provide refills on drinks, and bread. They have a good variety of options on the menu, and a nice beer menu. I got the Paella, which was good, but not the best I've had. Prices were a bit high compared to the portions which was a bit disappointing. I finished my meal all in one sitting, but do wish I had ordered something else. If/when i go back, I won't be ordering the paella. Good visit, but certainly caters to an older crown. I think a lot of what you pay for here is the name and reputation. Worth checking out.
