There was a little bit of a wait but not long. Warm rolls are brought to your table when seated. Kyle was my waiter and kept my tea full and even got me a new steak when the first wasn't the way I ordered it. I went with the Dallas Filet but whatever I was brought out first was a well done sirloin. My replacement was not cooked as long but still not really a filet quality but much better than the first steak. The baked potato and Caesar salad were great and the rolls. The steak was ok but not the quality I expected. Overall this is a good option in Gastonia to dine.

The steak was delicious.. had a problem the last 2 times but we gave them one more chance and lots it melted in my mouth.

We are in bbq country, and if it's going to be on the menu, it should be better. Pizzas are good. The quality of the wings and everything fried really depends on how old the oil is. Fried okra is the best thing they have on the ENTIRE menu, however. They really need to come up with something different. Bar service...there could be 2 bartenders and 2 people at the bar with drinks already, and it would still take 10 mins to get a drink. It's hard for patrons to buy something (and spend money), if they can't get the attention of the people that are there to sell it. Nice people, but no awareness at all.

Yesterday's culinary exploration led me to BTJ Wings in Gastonia. Opting for the 2pc whiting and…read morewings combo was a decision that unfolded a symphony of flavors on my palate. The whiting, deserving of an unequivocal five stars, showcased culinary prowess with a perfect fusion of seasoning and expert frying. A dish that resonates with aficionados of impeccably prepared, succulent fish. Delving into the wings, ordered with a mild flavor, proved to be a delectable experience in its own right. However, I dare say, a tad more crispiness would elevate them to unparalleled heights. As for the accompanying fries, they adhered to the archetype of standard restaurant fare, bereft of seasoning. A polite word of advice: summon the shakers of salt and pepper to awaken these unassuming spuds. Anticipation lingers in the air as my taste buds yearn to explore the depths of BTJ Wings' diverse menu. The culinary journey has just begun, and I eagerly await the next chapter of flavors that this establishment has to offer. #Gratuityadded #CulinaryCritique #TasteMastery #BTJ #DiningDiaries #FishFry #FoodieFinesse #SavorTheFlavors #EatsAndTreats #TastingNotes #CLTFoodie #SatisfyingCravings #FlavorfulFinds #704Eats #GastoniaEats #GastoniaFlavors #ExploreGastonia #GastoniaFoodScene #GastoniaFoodie #704Eats #GastoniaFoodFinds #GastoniaEateries #GastoniaFoodJourney #QCFinds #GastoniaFoodAdventures #GastoniaGastronomy

Of the ten patrons inside when we arrived, they all seemed to know each other. Thankfully, this didn't sway us one way or the other. We sat near the door, and I asked the bartender to turn on the game, which she did. Turns out the game wasn't on that channel, but I didn't want to disturb her conversation with the locals. Our waitress mentioned she was fairly new. She was attentive but kept forgetting things. I ordered the "must-have" Bessemer City Buzzard on a Stick, which is about half of a chicken breast seasoned and baked on a stick. The chicken wasn't as dry as I expected, but it also lacked flavor, and I had to pay $1 for sweet chili sauce to dip it in (3/5). The corn nuggets were nice and hot, and I enjoyed them (5/5). Note: I saw a couple of references to "redneck" while visiting, and I would characterize this place as a local redneck hangout.

Our server was pleasant, but she became easily distracted by friends who were seated after us. She spent a considerable amount of time chatting with them and, as a result, forgot items that should have come with our meal. My husband ordered pancakes, but they were served without syrup. We waited patiently while she continued visiting with her friends before I politely interrupted to ask if we could please have some syrup, as my husband's pancakes were quickly getting cold. I only spoke up after the conversation had shifted to personal topics that had nothing to do with their order. When she glanced in my direction, I quietly asked if we could have the syrup. She said yes, but continued her conversation about a bar her friend had sold, what it was like working at First Watch, and details about employee benefits and insurance. She then walked away, and eventually another server brought us the syrup. After we finished our meal, we waited quite a while for our check. During that time, our server continued stopping by her friends' table, which was right next to ours, to chat. When she finally looked my way, I simply made eye contact and politely motioned for the check without saying a word. At that point, the gentleman at the neighboring table suddenly began yelling at me, calling me rude and other derogatory names. Other guests watched as he and the woman with him loudly directed explicit and insulting remarks toward me. My husband calmly asked him not to speak to me that way and said there was no reason for that level of anger. The woman then began threatening me. Only then did our server go to retrieve our check. What disappointed me most was that she never stepped in to de-escalate the situation. She never acknowledged that she may have forgotten the syrup or that she had been spending an excessive amount of time chatting with people she knew. A simple, "It's okay--I forgot the syrup," or, "Let me take care of my table," could have diffused the situation immediately. I believe this incident escalated far beyond what it should have, and much of it could have been avoided if our server had prioritized caring for her tables before engaging in lengthy personal conversations with friends. She appeared to be enjoying the antics of her friends. I have reached out to FirstWatch through Facebook and was directed to contact them through email. No one has contacted me or my spouse. I guess this behavior is normal or acceptable. I did not expect to be called blk b's and threaten to have my hair snatched out by a Caucasian couple just for wanting syrup and motioning for our check.
