Excellent service, wonderful people! The steak was perfectly clean cooked and incredibly tender. The taste was as good as anything I have had. The Resturant itself is rather interesting. Everything was spotlessly clean. We could hear the conversation at our table even. Overall, it was more than worth the price. read more

I wish that I could give half stars, I don't think this was worth a true three but also not a four. Starting with the ambience, it's a really cool restaurant! Fun to see the old theater and the kids with us enjoyed looking around. The music was a little loud, but we did let the server know and they did turn it down for us. We had a group 8. The food was good, maybe a little small in portions. We almost all ordered the crab cake Benedict and the ham Benedict. We also ordered the cheesecake, the crème brûlée and the coconut cake. They were all really good, but I would note the crème brûlée had I believe tea in it? It wasn't just a traditional flavor but it was delicious! I do want to comment on experience. I was with my 8 month old son, who can't eat runny eggs. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and I asked to swap the poached egg to scrambled egg so I could share with my son. The server let me know he was going to check with the chef. He came back right before the plate was dropped off and said "The chef will not be doing that substitution for you". I acknowledge this is an abnormal substitution for eggs Benedict, but I was surprised and disappointed that the chef couldn't make this simple accommodation. read more

Another great experience at Web's last night. We had our family there and it was amazing. Everyone enjoyed their steaks or tenderloin and all was cooked toe ordered and was exceptional. The meals were perfectly prepared and the service was phenomenal. As always we enjoy a great meal at Webbs. Our server gave a history lesson about Webb's for those who didn't know about the history. The restaurant was very clean as you would expect a fine dining experience to be. Great job Webbs Custom Kitchen... read more

With almost 2,000 reviews already I'll, I'll try to focus on what others haven't said. So yes, amazing experience. Haley (sp) was our hostess and provided a warm welcome. I told her it was our first time so give us a seat based on what she thought most fitting. Did not disappoint thanks Haley! We were seated on the second floor overlooking the first. There are three levels on the second floor. The level on the bottom has cozy round booths they feel secluded, very nice if you're going for romantic evening. Our server Kayla knew the menu well, didn't steer us wrong. We had the meatloaf and salmon after selecting cheesy bread and duck cigars for appetizers. Cigars were good but I would definitely try something different next time. Cheesy bread insanely delicious. My strawberry lemon drop: delicious. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because the men's bathroom trash was overflowing at the end of the night. We'll definitely be back for my son's college graduation. I'll update my review then. read more

Webb Custom Kitchen - Gastonia 10:45am Mothers Day My son asked me where I wanted to go for Mother's Day. I had been to Webb a few times. I thought he would enjoy the theme, environment/vibe so that was my suggestion! Of course they didn't let us down lol! He was looking up the movie that was playing on the screen with Barbara Stanwick and a young Kirk Douglas. We loved the music they had playing as well so many memories wow what a throwback! We were seated upstairs and had a wonderful view of the screen, not to mention the activities in the kitchen down below. Really it's the best seat if you call for reservations! We ordered off of the brunch menu for main dishes, I told him he absolutely had to try a couple of the appetizers! We had fried green tomatoes, and the angry lobster to start. Both were absolutely wonderful and exactly what I expected so definitely consistent. We ordered two Benedict dishes. I got the crabcake Benedict and he got the eggs with ham. Everything was very good, but when it comes to crabcakes, I can't lie. Nothing compares to 131 main so the size of the Crabcakes - I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong. They were fresh, but too thin and the flavor and texture were not to my personal preference. The crab kind of got lost in all the other ingredients. I would definitely try a different dish next time. I ordered a side of bacon, perfectly cooked and great flavor. Along with the side of their mac & cheese, which has always been a favorite. I love the combination of cheeses that they use. It's such a treat! Lastly, we had to have their Parmesan truffle fries. Again consistent, excellent! They are always busy so reservations are required versus recommended to be honest. But we parked for free across the street because we were there early. Sadly, neither one of us had room for dessert, but their desserts are so good and the helpings are huge. Maybe next time! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Webbs Restaurant in Gastonia! The atmosphere was absolutely amazing--warm, inviting, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Great food, excellent service, and an atmosphere that really sets this place apart. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it! read more

As usual a wonderful dining experience. This restaurant is worth being a destination spot. It is widely known for special occasions but it is fabulous if you want to just have a great meal I love the upstairs seating. It's quiet and not crowded Prices are reasonable. Service is top notch. Attention to detail and delivery but not intrusive Fried green tomatoes,cheesy bread are a good start. Then wedge salad is the best I've had Onion soup is amazing I had the lobster and shrimp pasta. Plenty of seafood and sauce over perfectly cooked pasta. Service is excellent fast and caring. My food is always perfect ( like Hell's Kitchen) Valet parking is a plus A must try read more

What an incredible experience! I can see why this place comes highly recommended now. From the moment you arrive at valet until the time you depart, Webb really makes an impression. Every staff member we interacted with was wonderful and the atmosphere in the balcony along with the food itself just cannot be beat. This will definitely be our go to for special occasions! Also, huge shoutout to Olivia for offering such incredible hospitality! She really paints a picture when describing the dishes and went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel like a truly special occasion. I honestly could not be more impressed with our dinner here. read more

Very cool vibe that gives off a fancy, old-time theater feel. Definitely coming back. Porterhouse Club (5/5): The strip side of this 40oz porterhouse steak was phenomenal. Tender, juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The crust was also perfect. The filet side was a little overcooked and not nearly as good as the strip side but overall, I loved this. Not much of a "challenge", but still fun to get my name on the wall and come home with a steak knife. I wish the knife was engraved or something though (it was just a regular steak knife you could buy from the store haha). NY Style Cheescake (5/5): Rich, thick, and creamy. This was a sizeable portion of very good cheesecake. Potato Cakes (4/5): Pretty good potato cakes with a lot of bacon and cheese flavor packed in. Could've been a little crispier. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Webb Custom Kitchen is our go-to spot for my husband and our couple friends to enjoy a gourmet meal with the most delicious crafted cocktails in the area. The ambiance is vibrant and lively, the service impeccable! Webb's owner, Jim, is a prince of a man and takes much pride in his restaurant. It is THE SPOT in Gaston County. Try their WCC meatloaf. It will bring you back, again and again, as it does for us! Their burgers are epic, their salads unique and fresh, and their seafood is top-notch. We have not had anything that we didn't absolutely love. My favorite cocktail is an Aperol Spritz. Delicious! Maybe we'll see you there read more

Absolutely amazing one of the best high end restaurants I have ever been to the view from the balcony is amazing

The upscale steakhouse restaurant was converted from old movie theater with movie clips still being playing behind the kitchen. The dining atmosphere was excellent for patrons. I chose Spiced Ahi Tuna (cooked rare) as my dinner and house Cab (Copper Ridge). The whole dining experience was so great at a very reasonable price. It is great place to dine at Gastonia. read more

This is a great date night option in Gastonia. The building is an updated old theater with classic movies still playing on the screen. There's a lower level and balcony seating to add to the charm. The food was solid and our server was great. My husband loved his ribeye (as evident in the picture). His baked potato was overdone, but clearly still enjoyable. I went with the scallops with black pepper polenta. The scallops were cooked to perfection, and delicious. the plate overall was just ok. I wished there was a little less sauce so the scallops could be highlighted more. Again, solid date night option and a really cool venue. read more

What a really cool and unique setting for a restaurant. It's an old theater and it looks like a lot of the structure for the projector room is the bar area. I had the duck cigars and the potato skin appetizer from the happy hour menu along with a margarita. The ducks cigars were unusual and came with three different sauces (hot mustard, chile, and an Asian flavored sauce) that were absolutely delicious. The potato skins were pretty good, but I didn't eat a lot of the potato itself just the bbq rib tips and pimento because it was delicious. The bar staff was super friendly and super attentive, and I really felt appreciated as a patron. read more

It was excellent we had the best dinner. We sat at the bar. They have a very nice happy hour although we did dinners and espresso martinis for dessert and the manager was so sweet. He took us all around and gave us a tour of the property. it's an amazing old theater rated as one of the most romantic restaurants in the United States. read more

Such a fun way to experience both history and an amazing meal! This restaurant was an old theater and they kept so many of the original aspects of the building including film from back in the day. Our server shared the whole history! The food was also divine. A few things I loved: - cheesy bread: whoa. So good! - fried green tomatoes: so incredibly prepared - Chilean seabass: just lovely! There is street parking and I believe other lots around but we went with the free valet. read more

Drove up from Columbia, SC for my birthday. This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint! The way they remodeled the inside feels luxurious yet comfortable. The kitchen is on the main floor and you can watch the chefs in action! It's a beautiful sight to see how each chef runs their station with skill and confidence. Our server Claudia was fantastic! She knows the cocktail and food menus very well and made our experience even better. Kudos Claudia! We had the crispy lobster, fried green tomatoes, ribeye, and filet medallions. The food was the best we've had in a long time! read more

My Sister Mary's birthday and I wanted to make it a memorable experience. We went here for lunch since it's THE top restaurant in Gastonia in my humble opinion. We've both had such great experiences here over the years. She thought it was so funny that I saw Robinson Crusoe on Mars at the Webb Theater in 1967, yes that was only 58 years ago. We had a fantastic lunch thanks to our Server Judy. She was great explaining the menu, telling us about our various options which was very helpful. We shared the Duck Cigars as an appetizer; slow-simmered confit of duck leg in an ultra thin spring roll wrap, flash-fried with3 types dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious! For my entree I had the Wedge salad with the added salmon as a my protein. My Sister had the French Connection sandwich; shaved roast beef on French baguette with tarragon mayo, molten provolone and burgundy au jus. She said it was great! There was a 'glitch' with their software system so our meal was delayed. Judy communicated that to us so that was good but an unfortunate circumstance for a special occasion like a Birthday lunch for my Sis. Unfortunately parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is no dedicated parking area so there are just a few spots on the street if you're feeling lucky. We parked a couple of blocks away at the Convention Center lot which was free. read more

The food here is amazing. If you live in the Charlotte area or surrounding, this place may not be on your radar. It is an old movie theater and it is visually stunning. The food presentations are on point and everything we have tried here is delicious. Get the ANGRY LOBSTER tails and the Duck Cigars. The bar serves up some great cocktails as well. The Chefs Seafood Scampi Pasta was incredible and the Ribeye with fries were a hit. I ordered it medium and it was done perfectly for that temp. They offer valet parking. I suggest making a reservation. This is a GREAT first date, second date spot!!! You won't be disappointed! read more

Service from John was 5 star. I'm loving the angry lobster tails and my mojito style mule. The atmosphere is spectacular if you can get one of the booths with a view. If you want 5 stars from me, provide the special view for anniversary if the request is on the reservation. Other than that food is consistently delicious. Perfectly seasoned truffle fries. read more

We returned to Webb's Custom Kitchen on Tuesday evening because of the amazing experience we had last year when we celebrated my 50th birthday--the food was phenomenal, and the service was exceptional. We even sat in the same section, just two booths down overlooking the kitchen downstairs. We had a 6:45 PM reservation and specifically requested this same section, but weren't seated until 7:20 PM because the section was full. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to our expectations. The service was lacking; we had to call the host stand to get our waitress to come back to our table after we had finished our meal, and she immediately appeared only after that. The food, while cooked to our preferred temperature, seemed cold and lacked the flavor that made our first visit so memorable. Last year, our steaks were perfectly hot, full of flavor, and our waiter's recommendations and attention to detail made the experience truly stand out--so much so that we returned this year. Sadly, with both the service and the food falling short this time, the 45-minute drive to this restaurant wasn't worth it, and we won't be coming back. It's disappointing because our first visit, celebrating such a special occasion, set such a high bar, but this visit just didn't measure up. read more

Love the service, ambiance is great but was disappointed in the food. This is my third visit - meatloaf is a hard no (more barbecue sauce than meat) ; steak a little overcooked, fried green tomatoes were amazing ! Will go back. read more

We had Dalton as our server and had the best time. The drinks and food were both excellent! It was the first time we tried Webb's and we will definitely be back! read more

The exterior is fairly unassuming, but inside the decor is amazing. As others have probably mentioned, it's a former movie theater, converted into an upscale dining experience. Service was impeccable for the most part. And the food lived up to the billing. I had a limited-time appetizer of ravioli while my partner had fried lobster. She loved trying my ravioli while I thought her fried lobster had too much breading. We both enjoyed the food otherwise, and the drinks were pretty decent. If anything, the desserts were a little over the top. You expect that for the kind of prices, this place charges, but sometimes a piece of poundcake with a berry drizzle or whipped cream is fine too. I look forward to going back to try their steaks. read more

We are very disappointed with the service. Chris was very short tempered and seemed very bothered with taking our order Please talk to Chris about professionalism in the work place. This is completely unacceptable!!! read more

Went here for my anniversary and would HIGHLY recommend! The service is unlike anything else and the atmosphere upstairs is great, exactly what we wanted. The wine pours are heavy which I loved and I cannot tell you how much you MUST save room for dessert. The crème brûlée and chocolate cake were must orders and you didn't truly get food here if you don't try one of them. The ribs and meatballs were both very good, I'd recommend but personally will try new items because I don't think you can go wrong here, definitely definitely recommend checking this historical spot out!! read more

One of the nicer places that Gastonia has to offer. It's in an old movie theater so the vibes are already vibin. They've got the food down pat too. My mom comes here for dinner around 2-3 times a week, that's how good it is. We went recently to meet up with some friends in town and the meal was perfection as expected. Staff is always kind and service is usually quick. read more

Last night was our second visit to Webb's custom kitchen. Our first visit had some hiccups, but was taken care of by the manager. Our Last visit my husband sent a steak back as it was undercooked for him and they forgot his meal and would say it will be up soon. So he never really got to eat anything but the appetizer. They did send him a meal home and did not charge us for his dinner. So last night when we went back, we were giving them a second shot, as we honestly love the vibe of this restaurant. This time we were sitting upstairs and I highly recommend sitting up there. It gives you a nice view of the projector and the screen that shows the movies. We ordered two appetizers four steaks with sides and four desserts as well as two rounds of drinks from the bar. My girlfriend's well done fillet, her husband's ribeye was a good medium, my ribeye was a good medium rare and so was my husband's ribeye. However, he did not order his medium rare he ordered it medium well. The steaks were cooled to the touch and the brie butter that we got on top of it wasn't even melting at all. This time instead of sending it back, we just ate what we could. The waitress was kind. We were kind to her. We paid our tab, but I don't think we'll come back. At $200 per couple, You expect your food to be the way that you want it. I understand having steaks cooked multiple ways for the same table isn't easy for the kitchen, but even if it was cooked to a more medium temperature it would've probably been more acceptable. So once we got home, he fired up the grill and he put his medium rare steak on it so he could actually finish it. I would just recommend that staff pay a little bit more attention to the details. read more

What a fantastic place to spend an anniversary dinner! Our server, Amy, was so kind and her suggestions were spot on every time. The building itself is beautiful and sparked a lot of fun moments. The food, however, was the star of the show. My wife and I agreed it was one of the best meals, if not the best, we've had in years. The spaghetti squash and garden salad were lovely and so fresh. My wife cannot stop raving about the sea bass, though. Seafood so fresh it tastes like back home on the coast is hard to find so far inland- but WCK knocked it out of the park. We finished off with the crème brûlée and that was so good we had to get two, because we didn't want to share. You can't beat this place for ambiance, history, service, and especially food. We can't wait to come back! read more

In downtown Gastonia in one of the original theatre's, is now a beautiful upscale restaurant. The service we had was impeccable and started with our server shaking our hand and introducing himself, the southern charm was real! To start, we ordered cheesy bread with a four cheese mixture,minced garlic, onion and herbs. Probably one of the best bread apps I've ever had. The angry lobster which was fried and lightly breaded lobster tails, were also delicious and a new way for me to eat lobster. The U10 scallops with lemon garlic risotto was were topped with mango garlic salsa. The salsa had a little too much acidity and volume but the scallops were cooked perfectly. Great time and look forward to going back next time I'm in town! read more

Looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate our anniversary we read some restaurant reviews. Intrigued by the idea of dining in an old theatre we settled on Webb's Custom Kitchen. It was a Friday, and prom night to boot, so there were energetic patrons, and an equally energetic staff. We were seated in the balcony, and were glad for that, since it was a great viewing area. Kim, our server, was outstanding in all aspects. She had a friendly demeanor, and was attentive to our needs throughout the evening. We could tell Kim wanted to ensure we had an extraordinary celebration, and she delivered. The entire team really set the tone for the evening, providing excellent service, and always with a smile. With "The Thin Man" playing on the big screen, we perused the menu and decided on the Webb Street School Mixed Green Salad and Strawberry Fields Salad for starters. Both salads were generous and appetizing. The Strawberry Fields salad will be my go to choice on future visits. For the main course we both chose the Center Cut Filet Mignon with the fully loaded bake potato for the side. We've dined at Morton's Steakhouse and Smith & Wollensky in the past, and we both agreed that the Center Cut Filet Mignon was one of the best tasting steaks we've ever had. If you're into cocktails I highly recommend The Bulleit. The demerara syrup and expressed orange peel added a little something extra to the taste of the Bulleitt whiskey and bitters. Dessert? We split the Cranberry Cheesecake...scrumptious. Towards the end of the evening they even had a special way to commemorate our anniversary. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I will say it wasn't singing a song or making a spectacle of the guests. We definitely will be returning to Webb's Custom Kitchen. Their menu offers quite a few dishes we want to experience. Maybe the Porterhouse Club??? read more

I was about to start my evening drive to Greenville, SC on a rainy night and I thought about breaking up the trip to avoid traffic so I Yelped "dinner" , "Gastonia" and number 1 not far off the highway was We. Custom Kitchen. I have 3 rules when Yelping; stay in too 10 for location, check sample size (1.1K reviews), check newest Elite reviews. Check all 3 and headed to WCK. It's located in the historic district of Gastonia in a renovated building around the corner from Franklin Street I walked in and noticed people were already waiting for tables and it was just after 7 o'clock. I spotted a bar seat in the corner between two sets of couples. No wait, good start. A couple to my right on the adjacent side of the bar we're very friendly and I ended up speaking with them during my entire meal. They provided me the history of the building. WCK is located. They were both archaeologists taught me many things about the history of North Carolina and about their travels in Germany performing cultural resource surveys. They were a local couple and seemed to know every other person in the restaurant. They made several food suggestions one of which was the southern meatloaf entrée. And on a cold rainy night in February, that one sounded most appealing. The meatloaf and mash potatoes tasted great and the company and dinner conversation were even better! I will definitely keep Webb Custom Kitchen on my radar when I am passing through Gastonia and I would recommend to anyone else do not overlook this gem! Cheers! read more
