We found Lane’s Seafood and Steak House tonight. Though we have lived in Harnett County for three years, we have never visited this restaurant until now. The new signs posted at the Old Fairgrounds Road/ Stephenson Road intersection and the NC 50 / Stephenson Road intersection are helpful to those who are still learning the area.The restaurant is refined but cozy, and our waitress ( Sheila) was super friendly and accommodating. The food was great. We tried the seafood ( I ordered flounder; my companion ordered fried shrimp). The bread coating on the fish and shrimp was light, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. The white slaw included a trace of pickle and pepper, which paired well with the seafood. The potatoes were served steaming hot and the butter melted instantly when applied to the soft and yielding potato.The only disappointment was the hushpuppy texture. The puppies were shaped more like strands than scoops, and the grease in which they were fried permeated the entire body of the hush puppy. The result was a dense and gooey bread. But there are so many recipes for hush puppies, and the patrons of this long standing eatery must like this one. We were content to pass on the puppies because the remainder of the meal was so good.We will return to try other options on the menu. We had a pleasant dining experience.

The fried seafood is so good! The staff is super friendly! It's a family owned and run business. The owner comes around to each table making sure people are pleased. It's a small menu done well with fresh ingredients and an old southern atmosphere.

Nice place, good service, & good food. My only issue was the fact that they were out of at least half of the beers on the menu. No Michelob Ultra, no Coors light, and no Bud Light.

Elegant dishes served with the best service. Casual or fancy doesn't matter because of the Southern hospitality.The owner circulates and interacts with his customers.Prices are reasonable and portions are generous.Just don't grab the round bottle of red stuff to squirt on your fries. It's cocktail sauce.

Visited the Saturday after Thanksgiving with my wife and parents. The restaurant came highly recommended for their fried flounder, and my dad ordered and like that, but our other meals were average to below average. My wife ordered crab cakes and they were very disappointing, really no crab to speak of in the cakes. The green beans tasted like they came directly out of a can. I did enjoy the fried shrimp and the hush puppies. The menu is fairly limited and they don't offer many varieties of items, even basic things you'd have at Mayflower or Captain Stanley's like broiled scallops. Upscale prices without an equal improvement in offerings and quality.

Lanes has a family atmosphere that overlooks a lake, and Gregory Vineyards. The landscape is beautiful. The food is excellent, the staff are great, and if you dine in you may get a table visit from Lane himself. They also have a wide array of wines. I recommend the steak, grilled salmon, fish and shrimp. The peach cobbler is amazing as well. If you want a family atmosphere to eat your dinner Lane's is the place to go.Parking: Lots of space for parking.

We heard about Lane's on WRAL's Tarheel Traveler segment. Located in Angier, it's about 35 minutes from Raleigh. The property also has a vineyard, Gregory's ,that bottles the muscadine grapes grown there. Lovely building, good parking, very friendly atmosphere, we had a short wait. The hostess was always talking to everyone like they had just dropped by for visit. The wait staff was excellent. My husband likes seafood, I like steak, so we were at the right place. Everything was tasty. He ordered fried catfish and I had a ribeye, cooked perfectly. We were so not disappointed! And, on your first visit, you get complimentary peach cobbler! I still took home a slice of their homemade fresh coconut cake. We will return.

Great family place, I love the service. It is not fancy but very clean and well run. I will be back again.

The tableau is set against the backdrop of A lovely vineyard. The server was not 100%, but she redeemed her late star in the end. The owner stopped by....WOW...The food awesome
Jeff Bottoms
Great little hidden gem restaurant! The service was great and the food was just as good. We all got the steak and shrimp and nobody was disappointed, nor did we leave hungry. Not to mention, the peach cobbler was the cherry on top. Give this place a try and I think you’ll be happy.
