Opened in 2016, Slappy's is "Carolina Dipped Chicken" which is something I've not encountered…read morebefore. Different than "Nashville Hot Chicken" where a hot paste is added after cooking, this is dunked in a tangy, spicy sauce after cooking. Carolina's version leans into a vinegar-pepper flavor that's typical of Eastern NC barbecue. I arrived just before the lunch rush so I was able to get a table near the door where I could enjoy my lunch while watching the queue grow a bit. The chicken was moist and flavorful, still very hot from the fryer. Hot enough that I had to start with a knife and fork to tear it up before I could dig in. My sides were okay. The potato salad was a mush. Pleasant flavor but no texture that leaned into mashed territory. The mac and cheese was good but overdone noodles and no "tang" from the cheese. I'd try other sides next time. Slappy's is consistently rated as a top fried chicken place in a state of great fried chicken places. The concept is top-notch and the chicken was great. The sides let it down for me. [Round number 24500 overall - 945 of 2025 - 4348 in North Carolina]

Much here is simple - simple menu, simple ordering process, simply outstanding food - making…read moresomething complex rarely makes it better, and I have especially found this to be true with food and relationships - it's preparation, it's presentation, it's promise! I get to this little place about once every six weeks. My order is rather boring on the surface, but as I said this place is about keeping it simple, and I do. I get 1/2 chicken (both uppers), I get the superb sauce on the side, along with 2 additional servings of sauce! My sides are M & C and Collards, and I get a small container of vinegar for the collards - the vinegar, other condiments, and other helpful items are up front to the far left of the counter. Once in a while l will get a scoop of their Chicken Salad. There is very little salad here - this made up of 99% diced chicken with a little mayo - the chicken is full of flavor. When home I add a bit of diced celery, a touch of chopped onion, a bit of dill relish, some parsley, a some of my home made curry powder - damn, that rocks! This is good food, good people, and I hope folks will continue to support their efforts.

Phew! The chicken is hot at Timmy's Hot Chicken. I was not prepared. I wanted a chicken sandwich…read moreand this spot was close to my hotel. I ordered the Timmy's Hot Chicken sandwich, which comes with hot chicken, pickles, and a sauce, plus crinkle fries. I got some extra sauce and I am glad I did. It was both delicious and tempered the heat a little bit. This spot is very good but I would caution because Nashville Hot Chicken is a different kind of heat in my opinion.

First off, please hire some staff! One waitress to serve a near full dining room was ridiculous…read more Food is pretty good but the heat relies solely on the heavy handed dust rub.

This restaurant began in Garland, Texas in 1994, and has grown very rapidly, bucking the trend of…read morefast food spots over the last few years, becoming a bit of a food media darling! I've tried their Fried Chicken Sandwich ( small filet, middle of the pack overall), but not the wings. Today I ordered the classic wings, both the Original Hot and the Lemon Pepper dry rubbed - a 6 piece mix & match combo for $12.69, it comes with their famous, well seasoned FF and a large drink. I also got a side of Cajun Corn medallions. I got both the Blue Cheese and the Ranch sauces. The FF are rather unique for a fast food spot - freshly hand cut, with a bit of skin left on, sprinkled with a seasoning mix that gives the fries sweet, salty, and savory aspects. While these fries are very popular, I'm not a fan of the seasoning, don't care for the sweet flavor on fries. Without that sweetness, these would be very, very good fries in both taste and texture - as it is, I would pass on a combo on any future visits, or swap out the fries for celery or such. The corn medallions are sliced directly from the cob, deep fried, and then sprinkled with Cajun seasoning. The corn was tasty and in medallion form, easy to deal with, but a touch greasy. The medallion were easily handled with one hand, a convenient touch. Now let's talk about the wings. The wings served here are touted as never frozen , and are cooked to order. The cooked to order claim is simply not always the case - at heavy traffic times, full baskets are cooked in anticipation of orders to be received - just how broad is the "cooked to order" window? Since around 90% of Wingstop restaurants are franchised operations, I would guess there can be significant differences in the breadth of that window. As to the never frozen, this approach brings up logistical issues for the individual restaurants - dependable suppliers capable of frequent deliveries, determining proper delivery sizes - would locations be tempted to freeze chicken to reduce loss? Would cooked wings be "carried over" to the next day? Like always, get to know your restaurant if you expect you will visit more than just occasionally! As is my habit when visiting a restaurant, I arrived shortly after the posted opening time - here it is 10:30. As was the case at the other location ( and a good number of other restaurant spots), they weren't really ready to conduct, still prepping, organizing, turning on the fryers, checking their cell phone, getting ready for their day in the world of fast food service! Took just under 25 minutes to get my order, not exactly fast food speed. The Original Hot wings were very nice with the sauce providing the right amount of heat to complement the plumb, well cooked chicken. The texture was also excellent with the tender meat pulling cleanly off the bone. The wings were nicely sauced with a bit of residue at the bottom for more dipping, but not so much as to make the wings soggy in any way! The Lemon Pepper wings were much the same, though I found them as touch bland. The Blue Cheese was good, but not great. I thought the ranch was the stronger of the two! Would I come back for these wing - only if a convenient drive by. There are a number of spots locally that topped these wings, with comparable pricing and better service - Starting with Ronni's, Waldo's, Sixty-Six, and even Longhorn, for dry rub. And other very good choices include Pizza Hut (Yes, Pizza Hut), Chili's, East Coast Wings, Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebees, and of course Zaxby's! Long review, but for a reason - this chain is getting a lot of media attention - sometimes this works, sometimes it don't - we'll see, I think there are storms on the horizon, with the service aspect the most troubling!

I loved the interior - I think I was…read moreexpecting it to be a lot darker and more "country," but the high ceilings, brick, sage green walls and bare trees strung with lights created a cool vibe. There were a lot of interesting sounding cocktails on the menu, but I wasn't feeling super adventurous so I just got a glass of Chardonnay. I also wasn't super hungry so I got the Big Ol' Pretzel with queso (other side choices were brown sugar or mustard) and a Caesar side salad. The pretzel was great. It was salty and had a great texture (and did not have that microwaved chewy texture that you get sometimes)! I do prefer beer cheese to queso but the pretzel was so good it wasn't a huge deal. The side salad was larger than expected. I didn't care for the dressing. It was not a traditional Caesar taste or texture - not creamy, more of a vinaigrette, and gave the salad greens a slimy texture. Our server seemed busy but was pleasant and checked on us and food was served in a timely manner.

However, that night it was even better it was just soooo exceptionally delicious that had it not been for the fact that I have recently gotten myself in trouble with my doctor for my A1C for diabetes & really have to watch my carb/sugar intake ...I probably would have had a whole pie myself!! We also had a small cheese pie & at the end my family shared a cannoli. All super delicious, & as always where in most places I would most likely not eat the crust, here don't you dare touch my crust , because every single bite of my slice is worth the carb intake I held out for all day!! So, if you want the best pizza, head on over to them & if you want anything other than cheese try the Chicken Bacon Ranch, you won't regret it! Tell them Miss Diane sent you, lol!! They know my name. Yes, we love it that much!!!

Well...this is interesting…read more I debated whether or not I was gonna have a burger for lunch, because I have to work. Burgers typically put you in the food coma. I did not want to be sluggish in the afternoon from over eating. But the menu described a burger that seemed impossible to turn down. I ordered one...and.... I thoroughly enjoyed this burger. I ordered a mushroom burger with blue cheese. It was delicious. Tasty. Perfectly seasoned and cooked well. The bun was super fresh. The mushrooms amazing. The sauces superb. But if I spend $16 on a burger and soda, I expect more. This burger could have been on the kids menu at a different restaurant. Those tiny potato rolls...you know the ones...housed this mini-meal. And despite the flavor, I would never do it again. I mean, it didn't even come with fries. Imagine the look on my face with the burger came out with no fries on that tray. On top of that, my small soda was $3.50. THREE FIFTY for a small fountain soda!!!! Absurd. So, I may try this place again...because the food is really good. I just don't think they understand that value is as big a part of taste. Visit at ur own risk.

I often debate back-and-forth whether or not to go to a sports bar to enjoy it or to stay at home. The unfortunate thing about going to a sports bar is that you will have to sit next to someone that might be rooting against your team... so the food has to be really good to get me out... I am the exact opposite with the NFL. I prefer to go out and watch it at a sports bar because the games aren't that important to me. But that makes the food and ambience even more important. So, I had a client who wanted to get out for NFL football. We chose Twin Peaks. I had never been there before so I went in with no expectations. Interior looks more like a lodge than it does a sports bar. That concerned me... I am not from the south so I did not know what to expect. Were they going to serve bar food... Or was this going to a wild game menu? We were seated in the section with a server named Alyse. Someone else had recommended her section so we asked for it when we got there. She gave us the rundown the available beers and told us about the daily specials. A lot of times the server can dictate the dining experience. Her positive energy and friendliness got the evening off to a great start. She got us through some appetizer options and suggested the right topping for the nachos. They did not disappoint. The means were tasty and the quantity of food was ample for the price. She told us about the three options on the 22 ounce beers. I chose the brunette and it was cold and delicious. I am not a big beer drinker so this was a plus for me. After a bit-- the Eagles were wearing out the Cowboys-- we decided to order some wings. We were disappointed that they were out of the smoked wings, and chose the breaded ones instead. Again, Alyse, guided our wing decision and we chose the pineapple, habanero sauce, and the lemon pepper rub. The wings were sufficiently sauced and tasty. I loved the habanero sauce, even though it was probably a little too sweet for me. The lemon pepper wings were also delicious. I don't usually go for the dry rubs, but these were solid. The habanero wings were really really spicy. My client ate one and spent the next few minutes wiping the sweat off of his face. I am a professional spicy food eater so I handled them a little bit better. We hung out for a bit and grabbed our check and got out of there. If I were assigning grades, I would say that the server gets an A+ because she said the tone and was very friendly and attentive. The beer gets an A. It was cold and tasty. The nachos earned a B+. They were tasty, but they got a little soggy The wings definitely get an A. I love breaded wings and these were incredible. They were cooked well and the flavor will make me go back for more The menu is bountiful... The staff was friendly... The other diners were in a great mood.... And our server, Alyse, is worth asking for if you visit. Rock on, Twin Peaks!

From the skewers to the custom burgers to the flavorful wings, the menu is like a food tour on demand for the best of Winston-Salem to try. Let's talk skewers. Feeling small bites but loving big flavor? The combo order and the ranges of quantities of skewers are the best way to explore. Good for one person or to share with friends. And honestly, the rest of the menu is giving main character foodie energy. It casually blends Asian street food vibes with comfort-food burgers and chaotic loaded fries in a way that just works. One minute you're ordering bao buns and kushiyaki skewers, the next you're pivoting into a pimento cheese bacon burger or a garlic bread steak sandwich like you're on a global flavor tour with zero jet lag. The fries alone deserve their own spotlight. Truffle rosemary, okonomiyaki, poutine. It's basically a personality test at this point. Add in pho, Panang curry, wings, and boba, and suddenly you realize this is not a quick snack stop. It's the kind of place where you pull up for a bite and end up building your own mini feast because everything sounds too good not to try.
