That was totally fine - but we ended up waiting about 10 minutes - even better!! They'll put your name on a wait list then send you a text so you can easily track when your table is almost due. We went for good food and left super satisfied. My mom ordered the Southern Breakfast which offered a good amount of food and she loved it, she said the ham was very tasty and that it tasted like bacon! It was nice for that option you could choose a biscuit or toast as a side. We also got a single biscuit and gravy to share. The gravy was delicious and the chorizo added a nice little spicy kick to it. I can see why these are so popular here! My brother ordered the dirty south biscuit and he was also very satisfied. It had a little bit of everything and was steps above a traditional breakfast sandwich. I personally ordered a pancake topped with strawberries and I love that they offer to bake the strawberries in too. Bacon was crispy, thick. Everything was super fresh. Our server was wonderful and I regret not catching her name. She came about 5 times to ask if we needed anything, any extra coffee, coffee to go. She was exceptional and I appreciate that they are so detail oriented here. We had a great meal and ate very comfortably here. Only issue is that we were slightly ready for a nap after.

It's in a gated community. The interior is lovely, but it also felt like we were back on a cruise ship (like the sky lounge on Celebrity). There's a nice large bar and lots of big windows. There's music between 5-8pm on Fridays. It was pretty loud, which made it difficult to talk to each other. Service started out slow, as we waited for a waitress to come by and take our drink orders. But she was attentive afterwards. Food: My husband had the veal parmesan with linguini. He loved the linguini but said the veal was "okay." The focaccia bread tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. I had the chicken saltimbocca, which the sauce and sautéed spinach were so, so salty! I had to scrape off the sauce and then eat the chicken with the mashed potatoes. The chicken could have been a little more tender, but it wasn't dried out. I also had the Caesar salad, which was very good. Two others ordered the sea scallops (four scallops) that came with risotto and asparagus. They both thought it was very good. One had the fish and chips (a nice size piece of fish) and the last person had the veal parmesan. They thought their food was okay. We all agreed we may not dine here again because of the distance from where we live and having favorite restaurants with better food with shorter driving distances.

The hostess was friendly and we asked to sit at the bar. There we were greeted by Anthony and a lively duo playing some music. I ordered the Cucumber Flower Fizz cocktail which was fun to watch being made and even tastier! My guy ordered a bottled beer. We ordered the calamari and the oven baked focaccia bread. The focaccia was soft, warm and slightly sweet. There was a dipping bowl with some olive oil to add or not. Very good both ways! Then we split an entree of the Chicken Saltimbocca. The chicken was tender and well seasoned, it was served with mashed potatoes and spinach. We both agreed it was a unique spot and will def visit again!

Two Guys Grille never fails to impress, and my six visits in 2023 only solidified my admiration for this gem of a restaurant. The combination of consistently high-quality food and exceptional service makes it a standout choice for casual dining in Porters Neck. We have had several different meals during 2023, some old some new, but all were delicious: Freddie's Special Salad, featuring the choice of cheese steak, chicken Philly, or black bean Philly, was a standout favorite. Served over a bed of spring mix with tomatoes and cucumbers, it mirrored the excellence of their Philly sandwiches. The option to customize with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, jalapeno peppers, and white American cheese made it a personalized delight, and it has been my favorite since I found this restaurant in 2019. The Mozzarella Sticks were a delightful start to our meals, with perfectly golden-fried cheese complemented by a rich marinara sauce that added an extra layer of flavor. The crispy texture and savory goodness made it a must-order item on every visit. The Large Garden Salad was a refreshing and fulfilling choice, showcasing a vibrant mix of spring greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, cheddar jack cheese, croutons, and eggs. Each ingredient was fresh, and the combination created a symphony of tastes that pleased the palate. The Southern Cobb Salad was a hearty and flavorful option, with a perfectly grilled chicken breast elevating the mix of eggs, tomatoes, crispy bacon, black olives, cucumbers, red onions, and bleu cheese crumble. The combination of ingredients was well-balanced, creating a satisfying meal. The Bacon Cheeseburger was a classic done right - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It's the kind of burger that makes you appreciate the simplicity of a well-executed dish. The Philly Quesadilla was a delightful twist, and my personalized combination of cheese steak, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and jalapeno peppers made for a memorable and satisfying experience. The melding of flavors within the warm embrace of a quesadilla was a culinary triumph. In addition to the outstanding food, the service at Two Guys Grille was exceptional. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness added to the overall positive dining experience. I can confidently say that Two Guys Grille has earned its place as my favorite go-to spot for delicious, well-crafted meals and top-notch service. Here's too many more visits in the future! read more

They gave us a sweet sauce with the sweet potato fries. The white potato fries were more crispy compared to the sweet potato fries. The fried green tomato burger was as delicious as we had it from their first location. Never had the bacon jam burger before and it was a little disappointing. Didn't care much for the bacon jam and the burger meat was a little dry. Both burgers were served on buns with poppyseeds and sesame seeds. I'll just stick with the fried green tomato burger from now on.

I ended up coming here twice in two days--once to try the NY Chopped Cheese and then again to try…read morethe Philly Cheesesteak. Let's start with the chopped cheese. As a New Yorker, I was excited to see it on the menu. And let me say this first... the sandwich was delicious. I cleaned that thing up and didn't leave a single crumb behind. The flavor was on point. Here's the only issue: it wasn't really a chopped cheese. Instead of using chopped ground beef like you'd find at a New York bodega, it was made with sliced steak. I asked the owner about it, and he explained that they used to make it the traditional way, but they switched because the ground beef would dry out by the time customers got it home or had it delivered. Using steak keeps it much juicier. I told him, "Then it's not really a chopped cheese anymore... it's basically a Philly cheesesteak." He laughed and said, "No, our Philly cheesesteak uses different meat." That caught my attention, so I said, "Hold up... you have an actual Philly cheesesteak too?" He said yes. So naturally, I came back the next day to try it. After trying both, I can honestly say I liked the "chopped cheese" much more. The Philly cheesesteak was made with Steak-umm-style beef, and unfortunately it was a little dry. It also could've used a lot more cheese (or cheese sauce) to bring everything together. I didn't complain because everyone has their own way of making things, and I respect that. But here's my opinion: if they simply renamed that "chopped cheese" sandwich to their Philly cheesesteak, it would be one of the best cheesesteaks around. In fact--and this is just my opinion--I think it would give J. Michael's Philly Deli some serious competition. At the end of the day, that's just one New Yorker's opinion. Go try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

I've had their Cuban several times and can honestly say it is the best I've had anywhere north of Little Cuba in Miami. Randy told me that he learned from a chef in Miami and continues to follow what he learned with every sandwich. The choices on the menu are varied, and I don't think it is possible to leave there hungry. A selection of beer and wine is available, as well as the usual soft drinks. The seating arrangement provides plenty of space between tables; they also have different games for you to play when you are not eating (a nice touch to keep the kiddos busy). A warm, inviting place that has to be one of my favorite in the Cape Fear region; Randy and Rachel are among the heroes of our city for the internship program as well as sharing their space once a month to share untold stories of the citizens of our area.

The name Foxes Boxes showed enthusiasm and creativity which digs right down to the serving of the meal with boxes, utensils etc. Love the way they present the meals. The first visit, after they had been open for a short time, was pretty stellar. The portions, while smaller than expected for the price, were well executed. We all felt the meal was thoughtful and locally sourced. However quickly became evident that the stress of a family-owned joint was already wearing on the chef as each time we visited...the quality began to drop off. Flavors not as rich and blended as before, marinades weak, and portions seemed to shrink even more. Which, for the price and simplicity of the food needed to stay right there on top. I am hoping that they just hit a little dip and spring back, because the ethos and community support shown on their Facebook page makes me happy. Their family and website shows a much needed vitality, social consciousness and spirited renegade thinking. It is this spirit that will encourage me and my friends to visit again in the future.
