Restaurants near Dobson

“Michaela, September 13, 2026

Thank you for coordinating our lovely dinner, lunch and tour with your wine maker at Shelton Vineyards on September 10, 2026. The members of the Ocean Isle Beach AWS Chapter had nothing but praise for our wonderful experience, quality of the food and top-notch service provided by the dining room staff.

I am so happy that I choose your services for preparing the lunch we enjoyed at Surry College, and our wine paring dinner at the Harvest Grill. We all were impressed by the depth of your winery and the knowledge and passion of your wine maker in producing the excellent wines we all enjoyed. Please share our praise with your staff, and we look forward to returning for another visit.

Thank you,....Steve Rosen”

“they have the best latte's. I have tried several different drinks and they all are delicious. I love that they set up at 13 Bones in Mt. Airy.”

“We came at the spur of the moment for a bachelorette party due to being turned down at one of our planned locations. We were welcomed with open arms! Great staff and delicious wine 🍷”

“The best place in our area for pizza. Went today with my family for my birthday”

“Great food and service quaint little restaurant.”

“Our new favorite place. Great indoor and outdoor seating. Wide variety of wines and the frozen pelican red is a must try!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Very friendly, and the ice cream was amazing!!”

“We stayed in Dobson on our way to Myrtle Beach. This place was a cozy little diner nestled in a friendly town. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by several ladies who were as friendly as can be. The prices are super reasonable and the portions were big. Everything we had was very delicious. My sons friend was with us and got the chicken and waffles and he said they were the best tenders he has ever had. Their pancakes were delicious with a crispy golden edge. My oldest son and I got the tenderloin special for that morning and we both enjoyed it. My husband got the hungry man special and well he apparently wasn't that hungry because he couldnt finish it. But it was a great value. The biscuits are huge and the grilled home fries with onion are a definite must get.”

“I've been ordering here for over a year. People are friendly and always repeat your order to make sure they have it. Food is always good. They don't use MSG........”

“Booked ahead and we arrived on time. Our table was ready with glasses of water at a small table for two. Service was great, almost as good as the wine.
Thanks Harvest Grill staff.”

“The manger Luscero not only fixed the small mistake we had but replaced the meal I had ordered. She went above and beyond to make sure my food was done correctly as we were going through a hard time and chose to eat there to celebrate a life instead of mourn. They understood the importance of this and took care of everything. Their food is great and they are always doing things to help out the local schools and different areas for donations. It’s amazing to have a restaurant do something to take the time to be personal enough to fix a situation, though when it comes up individually like that, that takes more than good employees it takes heart and great food! This is why they are one of the only food restaurants to make it long in Dobson without closing like all the rest have because everyone knows they can be reliable.”

“We drove 2 hours on a Saturday. Arrived at 3:30 Pm. We were seated promptly and a waitress arrived at our table to take our drink and appetizer order. It arrived almost immediately. She returned to take our dinner order and it also arrived much sooner than we expected. Our party of 4 all ordered something different. The consensus of our group was it was the best place we had ever dined. We will return soon.”

“My family and I ate there tonight it was really good. My hamburger steak was cooked the way I asked. Our appetizers came out hot and in time for us to enjoy before our main course came out. The service was excellent and of course my biggest pet peeve was good she kept my drink cup full. Thanks you Shannon for a job well done.”

“Food takes awhile to get to you after ordering, ordered a smores blizzard missing the chocolate peices for the blizzard the crew was making fun of elderly customers laughing place needs to pay more for employees so they can hire decent staff to work there just my honest opinion”

“Best McDonalds I’ve been to in the last few years!

No only was the food fresh but it was fast and correct plus the staff was so friendly and tentative. My nephew and I dined in at 1pm on a Saturday so the kitchen was busy but the dining area was still clean, the staff brought out our food quickly and checked on us regularly. That so rarely happens. And I listened to them help someone struggling with the kiosk…they were super nice to him also.

Have to say it elevated the usual “meh” McDonald’s experience. Will totally go out of my way next time I’m in this general director just to make sure I dine at this location.”

“The drinks are absolutely amazing!! And the staff is soo friendly and welcoming! I wish every business was ran this way ❤️”

“Absolutely fantastic cheeseburger and bun(so important)with all the trimmings and further enhanced with real shoe string potato fries that complete the picture of a must have burger, I highly recommend this family run business in Elkin NC with their hospitable owners Bill & his wife and staff, they would not disappoint!”

“Hello all. This Chic Fil A has been absolutely amazing today. My truck stalled out on me today in the drive through and the staff was extremely kind and quick acting. They helped push my truck to an area where we could let it sit until my father came to my aid. The staff was so sweet and didn’t rush my kids and I to move the truck into a parking spot. When my father arrived, we had 4 men come out and help push while my dad steered. Thank you to all those who were involved and spent their time helping a mother who knows nothing about vehicles. The man who helped us the most also brought ice cream cones out to my young daughters. I mean, how sweet is that!? Thank you all again for your warm hearts. The world needs more of you. ❤️”

“I love Scoops! Delicious ice cream options and kind folks in a magical, funky little roadside location. Perfect place for a tasty treat and a look around at the sculptural art. Excited for my next visit, whenever that may be.”

“I just love this place. Every time we visit Mayberry I always make sure to go to Barney's Cafe and get me a Barney Burger. I love the atmosphere and the employees are amazing and so friendly.”

“Was just passing through one day, and made the right choice for a coffee stop. Now I stop every time I'm in the area! Not sure of the young lady's name who has served me a few times. But she is absolutely awesome! So friendly, bubbly and helpful!”

“Best Stromboila I've ever had. Love their house dressing..”

“I love the good going their tomorrow to celebrate my boyfriend birthday 🎂”

“We liked our visit, the staff were very friendly, but not really good. Had a nice selection of both wine and beer on tap. However, they never remembered the name on our tab or what we were drinking. They took a while to get your order and they looked genuinely surprised that you wanted to order a drink. They would let you stand at the bar take your glass and act as if getting another beer or glass of wine was something they were unaccustomed to. Each time you walked up to get another drink they would just look at you say hi and then stand around until you explicitly indicated you needed something. They would then forget your oder act like they couldn't find your name on the tab, (they do take and hold on to your card while you are there), and eventually get you a drink. Please dont take it the wrong way, they were super friendly and wanted to talk and take care of you its just they wanted to talk to each other more than getting you a drink. I would just hate to see them when they were busy. Please keep in mind we were the only customers they had. I will say they have excellent bathrooms, they were large, spacious and very clean. They also have a large covered patio area, large enough for 15-20 people to comfortably sit and hangout. They had plenty of seating inside and several tables with umbrellas and a fire pit outside. They have some hiking trails as well, we did not get to walk the trails due to rain.”

“We love to visit when we are traveling to a Chick Fil A, because we know the food will be great and the sercice exceptional as well. Always My Pleasure we will hear.”

“The famous pork chop sandwich is the best, everything I've ordered from them has been wonderfully delicious, I also like the convenience of staying in your car and they come to you and bring your food”

“20-minute wait but well worth it. The ribs were absolutely fall of the bone delicious. So large of a quantity that I brought back more than half to Maryland. The shrimp appetizer was okay, but I am from Maryland, and I found them very plain (not steamed but boiled) and served cold. The cocktail sauce that came with them was fire though. Certain bites would get your nose a burnin. The beers were good and cold and the service was excellent. The crab dip and popcorn shrimp was also reported by joining family members as good and plentiful. If I am ever back in Mount Airy, I will certainly be back. Thanks for a great time 13-Bones.”

“Love the food and the people”
