    Love Bubblys! Great food, great service, portions are awesome, location is great and the price of…read morethe food is also great. Definitely recommend!

    My first time visiting Bubblys and here is what I saw…read more    _New Years Eve hours sign still on the front door 3 days AFTER the holiday (I blame management).  _Dining area did not look clean (and not very busy).  _County Food Safety score of 94.5 is not an acceptable score (more detail on this later). _Person on the register was talking on the phone while the customer in front of me was waiting (did not sound like a business related call).  _Not all food prep employees were wearing hats, one worker was touching his hair then back to food prep, nobody was wearing gloves.  At this point we no longer wanted to eat here so we left (went next door to Tony's Pizza).    I looked up their most recent food safety inspection and here are a few violations.    _Hand-washing sink had no paper towels (so are they even washing their hands?).  _Refrigeration coolers running above 50 degrees (should be below 41 degrees). _Dirt buildup in kitchen area (repeat violation from prior inspections).  _Outside garbage dumpster area was messy. _General cleaning of facilities is a repeat violation including "large amount of buildup near fryers".    Note that ALL of the food inspection scores in 2025 were below a 95. There are numerous other restaurants around with employees who care about their customer's health achieving scores of 100

    I'm loving the "to go" hot bar at Taste of Orient. It's quite convenient to stop in and grab lunch…read morewithout having to wait. The purple sticky rice is always hot and pairs well with laab, fried chicken, and more. The prices are competitive with other restaurants in the area. The owners are great people.

    If you can give a negative I would. I attended an event. All night I entered and exited multiple…read moretimes for a smoke break. Towards the end of the evening (10:30pm), I needed to take another smoke break. At this particular time, a male employee informed me that there is an re-entry fee. I asked him why. He shrugged and replied, "You can ask the owner." Pointing at her. So I reconfirmed with her. She started making excuses. 1. Due to capacity. If you leave you must pay a reentry fee of $20. 2. She didn't like the traffic from the entrance. 3. For the saftey of her of everyone. Please just stay and not smoke no more. They will be closing in 2 hrs anyway. I asked, "If they are not letting customers out, is it ok for me to smoke inside." To which she responded, that they will kick me out of I did. At this point I was getting heated. I decided if an establishment wanted to just make up rules as the night went on. They don't deserve my business. I gladly left the event. I feel if they had a designated smoking area to allow smoking customers traffic in and out of their establishments. There wouldn't have been any negative disagreements with customers. Which also would resolve her "in and out" traffic at the entrance. If she was really looking for the saftey of her customers. She needs to hire security and check customer coming in. Also, if she wanted to make any kind of changes to her event while it was going on. She should make an annoucement, if not post ot somewhere. Yet making rules along the way is very unprofessional. All in all this money hungry owner doesn't give any care in the world about anyone but her selfish greedy self.

    We recently stopped here on our way from NC to VA, and we think this will be part of our travel…read morerotation. We look for highly rated restaurants, close to the interstate and which have outdoor seating because we have dogs. Bringing water for our dogs and cups to take our sweet tea with us, our server, Kiersten, was the epitome of friendly southern hospitality. The barbecue was delicious. You could see the smoker on the property. What set this apart was the choice of sides. There were several sides such as green bean casserole and creamed corn that you don't see at other barbecue joints. We will definitely be back on our next trip to NC.

    Tried Hugh Q's BBQ and honestly... pretty mixed experience…read more The cheese curds were hands down the highlight -- uniquely made, you could tell they were fresh, and they came out crispy and full of flavor. Easily the best thing on the table and definitely worth trying. Unfortunately, everything else just didn't live up to it. The BBQ and brisket were a letdown -- lacking flavor, not as tender as expected, and just didn't have that true smoked BBQ quality you look for, especially in a place like Hickory where the standard is high. Service and atmosphere were fine, nothing bad there, but when the main focus is the food, it just didn't deliver the way I hoped it would. Left feeling disappointed and honestly wishing I had gone somewhere else. Might give it another shot down the road, but based on this visit, it didn't live up to the hype for me.
