It was good and we enjoyed it. The food was pretty average and the portions fairly small for the prices. It was a good fit for our big family
The duck confit sandwich is a standout - one of the most sublime mixtures I've had, and so unexpected! Wonderful staff, and a very pleasant place overall
We took our three grandsons (age range 12-5). We all ordered the smash burger which was delicious. Great that they have GF buns for those that want/need them. Server was excellent - very polite, nice, helpful and offered great service. All of the staff we came in contact with were great as well.
We have enjoyed Hellbender in the past but this experience was only fair. The wait staff was friendly but rushed things and the food was only mediocre. The bright spot was the host who was very accommodating!
One of the worst experiences at a restaurant in recent memory. We had a reservation at 5:30pm. When we sat down we ordered drinks and six buffalo wings as an appetizer. Two of the wings were so small my sons asked if they used baby chickens. The hot buffalo wings were delivered and our server left. We had no silverware or napkins for a messy appetizer. One of my sons went to the bathroom to wash his hands it took so long to get anyone’s attention to get napkins (and the restaurant was half full). We finally got napkins 15 minutes later after I asked twice. Then we were going to order our entrees. There were literally 5 entrees on the entire menu outside of sandwiches. My sons picked the restaurant because they wanted Ramen and Ribs which were recommended. Shockingly they had neither at 5:30pm!!!!! They then order the NC Trout and Shrimp and Grits and I had the smash burger. The trout was supposed to have lentils and quinoa. It had a few sprinkles of each (basically nothing) and then it was fish over a bed or arugula. Our waiter came to our table once to finally refill our drinks. We then finished and they were craving banana pudding which was also highly recommended online. As we ordered our waiter said embarrassingly, they were out of that as well. I then immediately asked for the check, paid and left. I will never go here again and recommend everyone stay away unless you are getting drinks. A restaurant that has no food at 5:30pm on a Saturday should not be in business.
Great burger and beer mac and cheese!
We stopped in for breakfast yesterday...11/4/2025. The ambience was nice but the breakfast was sub-par and over priced. The hash browns were frozen rectangles and the biscuits as well as the bacon was were overcooked and hard. Once we sat down no one came back around to check on us. I wouldn't recommend this place for breakfast.
The service was excellent. Three of us chopped chicken salad which was delicious. My husband wasn't crazy about the pho but said it was ok. Will definetly go back.
Loved the menu the grain salad was awesome. Kids loved the Mac and cheese. Service was excellent, our waitress was very sweet.
Smash burgers A++!!

Lovely time with friends and good food. Seated quickly and enjoyed finding a new spot to eat. Not a lengthy menu but we all found good choices
The burger was just alright but atmosphere and service was amazing
Amazing Breakfast!!!! With Mimosas!!! This was such a cute and charming little place for a very relaxing breakfast!!!! Food was delicious!
My wife and I had a nice Dinner here. We can recommend the food & drinks.
We went for dinner and was told it would be a 25 minute wait and after 75 minutes we were given menus. Small portions and we’re out of a lot of food. My second visit and I’m not sure I’ll return again.
