A simple establishment, but a diverse menu that is very Americanized. No overly strange or strong spices, and medium-sized portions at a good price. I had the falafel wrap, and the deep-fried chickpea was tasty without having too much spice or seasoning. Lettuce and tomato were fresh and well balanced in the wrap. I opted for the seasoned fries which were nice and the perfect salt balance. There is a couple of tables out front for the sunnier time of day, and a great record store next door to browse through while you digest the meal. Next time I will try some of the more exotic items... several people came in for the chicken tikka and rice dishes and appeared to be regulars.

My family stopped here on a road trip and I was pretty disappointed…read more We came right at opening and it was pretty quiet, but it was definitely bustling by the time we left. Our server did a pretty mediocre job, if I'm being real - she took our orders and delivered the food but pretty much didn't check on us for the entire meal, and I ended up having to take my trash to the front counter to get rid of it, since no one was bussing the table. I got the Chicken Power Pita and I was underwhelmed with it. The pita was soggy and cold, and everything inside felt mushy and a bit flavorless. My wife's roast beef sandwich was also extremely lacking, although she did like the bread. Weirdly, she wanted lettuce, tomato, and onion on it, and the server told us that they didn't offer onion. Why does a deli not have sliced onion for its sandwiches? On the positive side, my father-in-law really liked his chili. Because we got there so early, we found parking on the street, but I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find parking if you came during normal lunch hours. Inside the restaurant, it had standard deli vibes. I would definitely not come back here if I was stopping in Statesville for lunch.

I had them hold the chorizo since I'm 95% plant‑based, and they were still perfection. I bought three orders so I could share this delicious, affordable, love‑filled food with my neighbor. Life is expensive, but thank goodness for a takeout meal that tastes homemade and heartfelt. As a food critic, these are a 10/10, and nobody else in town gets that rating from me. When I'm not cooking at home, this is exactly what I'm buying my only requests / suggestions is that they add more vegan options (tofu scramble or plant based egg replacement, vegan cheese/ egg and milks for their coffee etc ) and have someone improve their Facebook / social media accounts.

We've ordered takeout from here several times in the past and it's never disappointed!…read more We arrived a little before our pickup time and our order was ready, piping hot and still hot after our 20 min drive home. I had the fried flounder sandwich, which came with fries, hush puppies, and a house salad. I was expecting a small side salad, but that thing was huge! It was in a full size takeout box. I was pleasantly surprised by that. The size of the fish filet on my sandwich was absolutely insane. It was really good, although I wished for more seasoning. I couldn't finish all of my food, so the next day I had my sandwich with hot sauce, mayo, and lettuce and it was perfect. This is how I'd recommend dressing it from the start. The hush puppies were perfect and they were very generous with their portions. We'll definitely continue to eat here!

People around town are always commenting on how incredibly busy this place is during normal hours…read moreso my husband and I decided to have an early dinner at 3 PM on a Saturday. There were hardly any other people here, except for workers, so we were seated immediately in the bar area. This was a very nice, clean and extremely modern Olive Garden. It's been a few years since we have eaten at one, so I was very surprised at the new look. My husband had a Sam Adams in a cold glass which was greatly appreciated. I had a glass of Moscato which was delicious. Our "Never-ending" salad and breadsticks came out soon after. As always, fresh and delicious. My husband ordered his favorite, The Tour of Italy (Chicken Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna Classico). I tried a bite of everything and the chicken was juicy, the Alfredo was cheesy, and the lasagna had some really tasty Italian sausage in it. I ordered the Ravioli Carbonara. It was the most delicious, decadent dish I've had in ages. Seven large cheesy ravioli in a super yummy, savory carbonara sauce, topped with cheese and popped under the broiler until the top was golden and crispy. Was it traditional Italian? No. Would our Italian-born Nonna have approved? Oh heck yeah. Sadly we were too full to order dessert. All of the staff, from the hostess to our waitress and food runner were super friendly and attentive. We felt taken care of but not annoyingly so. Excellent timing all around.

Once we were able to sit at our table we had two waitresses. Sokoyo and another lady whose name I cannot recall at the moment. To have 20 people they rocked the service and handled our group with amazing service! I ordered the new shrimp carbonara. It was delicious with hints of bacon in the sauce. It's my new favorite meal here. I also enjoyed the bread and salad which is always great. Finally I was able to try my mother's birthday chocolate moose pie. It was very smooth and chocolaty. This restaurant always has a nice relaxing vibe. We were seated in a corner area out of the crowd which was nice. All staff who assisted our two waitresses were very kind also. I greatly appreciate the amazing customer service provided by this restaurant on my mother's birthday!
