50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near China Grove

“What a great little hidden gem! I say hidden because if you are not from China Grove, NC or close by, you've likely never heard of it. I drive in from CLT just for their food. 2 cheeseburgers, 2 hotdogs, a and local fav Cheerwine for under $20? And it's damn good! Same order at any chain restaurant would be $40 easily. It's worth the trip, and I'll keep making it.“

“I haven’t had anything bad here. The vegetables are delicious. You can definitely tell nothing comes straight from a can. The fried chicken is great as well. The waitresses are friendly and the service is always top notch. I’d much rather come here than Cracker Barrel. I’ll always support this business!“

“They are my favorite Mexican restaurant!!! Best cheese dip around!“

“Been serving my family over 16 yrs. Always great good and wonderful service.“

“The best barbecue anywhere. Would you consider opening a restaurant in Georgetown SC. There isn’t a barbecue place in this town and really need one.“

“Fantastic pizza and the staff is always working hard to please its patrons.“

“We went on Friday morning around 10. It was packed and people waiting in line. We only had to wait about 15 minutes. I figured service would be slow since every table was full. I was pleasantly surprised that the service was exceptional. The food was also exceptional. We had omelettes with home fries. The home fries were out of this world. Best place for breakfast I've ever been to. We are going back next week.“

“1st time here and had original Cuban sandwich. absolutely wonderful. I will be back again. thank you.“

“Every time my wife and I come to Salisbury we dine at Mambo Grill. The experience, food and our hostess Gisselle C. are worth more than five stars.
On 22 Nov @ 17:37 we arrived for dinner. We ordered two Chicken Hemingway and for desert the Coconut Flan. Both entrees were very delicious. But our hostess recommended what is called Mariquitas. An appetizer we have never tried. It was the talk on our table with Gisselle C as she recommended the dish.
Two thumbs up for our hostess and the same to the restaurant for taking the time with us and making sure our experience is always positive and worth of a great review. Gisselle, you are the best!“

“This place has the BEST - crispiest - homemade egg rolls in town!! And I love their fried dumplings with chili sauce!! Im obsessed!! 🤗“

“The country styled steak taste like a frozen piece o eat doesn’t taste the least bit like country styled steak the gravy tasted horrible. The green bean on my husband’s plate tasted like the can that they came out off. The fried okra tasted like it had been sitting awhile and cold. The only hot thing on my plate was the fried squash. Tour food wasn’t worth what we paid for it. I did notice that a lot of people left a lot of food on there plates uneaten. Will not be going back.“

I will recommend your restaurant and tell people to ask for Arely A for their server. Thank you , Theresa Stout“

“Stopped in for the first time for lunch on a busy Saturday. Weather was great so we ate outside as it was very crowded inside. We had salads and pizza. Our food was excellent. Homemade salad dressing was very good. The place was clean - only reason I gave a low score for atmosphere is because it is very small and seating is limited. However, well worth going here because the food is excellent! They have weekly specials too.“

“Such a great place, great food and friendly staff.“

“We eat there at least 3 times a week. Great food, wonderful service and not a long wait for your food.“

“We can ALWAYS count on Longhorn for consistently providing good serving and great food! When we want steak, we don't think of anywhere but here. I can't count on my fingers and toes how many people convert from other chains. With Longhorn you don't need steak sauce. The steak is always cooked perfectly and always tastes great!!“

“Food was amazing and the servers were awesome. Will definitely be back!“

“Hats off to our Waitress, Ruth! The food was delicious, especially their Bankok Banana & Coconut Ice Cream, but the best part of the experience was Ruth. A dearer, sweeter, more efficient , amiable person I cannot imagine. Go there and ask for Ruth. Dang, she is nice!! !“

“We enjoyed the pulled pork, hush puppies, slaw, a breakfast spread with eggs, bacon, potatoes hash, pancakes, and a hot dog - Carolina style. Restaurants was packed full on a Sunday at 10:30 AM. No wait, really friendly staff, clean area & restrooms. Sweet tea was on-point. Prices very reasonable. Eastern Carolina Vinegar BBQ 'Sauce' was delicious, with a sweet vinegar heat, perfectly balanced for the pulled pork.“

“This was an awesome gem of a resturant hidden in the woods. Such an intriguing history of the place. I LOVED their seafood - flounder, shrimp, fried oysters and will definitely be going back again. It was also great to meet the owners and family members that are part of the history of this place and land. They hosted the group I was with (CAPS) and really showed that Southern hospitality to us all. Thanks guys!!!“

“Love the place and the food!!“

“I went for breakfast the other day. First time there and it was really good. The eggs were cooked to perfection. I usually don't order grits out because no one knows how to cook them, but they were cook perfectly. All the food tasted fresh and was hot. The waitress was attentive and friendly. I will be back. Thank you for a great experience.“

“My favorite restaurant in Concord! I am never disappointed!“

“Had the best experience here! Great food, prices and atmosphere. More importantly, the staff was amazing. The food was amazing, but I would be back based on the staff alone. Great place. Highly recommend.“

“We love it here! Service is fast and friendly! We usually go for breakfast. The portions are HUGE so come hungry. Always yummy. The Livermush is extra crispy, the grits are the best we have ever had, perfect delicious texture, not soupy like some and the omelets are amazing.
Casual seat yourself and cool 50's atmosphere inside. We drive 30 minutes and it always worth it!!“

“Good food, great service. Go!“

“Lovely night for our son's birthday! Samantha was awesome and so was our chef! Food was delicious 😋“

“Not sure why they have low ratings. Tired them for the first time tonight. Great food, portions and service! Will definitely go back!“

“Friendly service, nice environment, variety choice and great good.“

“Some of the cashier's have bad attitudes and the Hispanic waitress has a bad attitude she pick and choose who she wants to assist at the table and expects a tip I am big on tipping if the service and food is good. Some days you go and the food is delicious and some days the chicken is salty and dry and not to mention the fish.They need the old cooks and workers back that when the food was delicious. Y'all need to get it together Concord NC.“

“They are nice and share a full service“

“I grew up in Salisbury and lived there well into my adulthood. I live in Columbia, SC now but when I come back to town to visit my Mom, one of my favorite places to eat is at Checkered Flag. They’re food is really good but the hard working ladies who serve the customers is what makes it great. They take the time to talk to every customer at every table and it’s not just chit chat. They really want to know how you are and what they can do for you to make your visit perfect. They treat everyone like family but for those of us who come back again and again, we become family. Even for me, an out of towner, I even know two of the hard working ladies, Angela and Jen. Angela showed her hard working team spirit yesterday when, Jen, our server, was tied up with her other tables. Angela stepped in and took our order until Jen could get back over to us. This example of teamwork becomes contagious and I’m sure that Jen has done the same thing for Angela and all of her co-workers. Jen is such a joy to be around. Her personality oozes charisma and warmth and she makes you feel truly special because that is who she is!! I heartily recommend Checkered Flag for their great food and and their even greater people!! I rate them 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 5 hearts!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

It was a wonderful experience ❤️❤️ I would give it a five star rating ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I have never in my life gone through a drive thru that gave me a better experience than Chick-Fil-a until today!!! I am also someone who doesn’t typically leave a review but my experience was so wonderful I felt like this particular location needed a rave review. The woman taking my order was beyond great in customer service skills. She was friendly, cheerful, and thorough about making sure she got my order correctly. She used the “suggestive selling” which is so great for a business. I intentionally asked her name in order to name her in this review. Sondra, thank you! My food was also received in a timely manner and was fresh. Seems like the manager of this establishment is doing a great job to have such a great crew.“

“Consistent service and good quality food“

“Food was amazing an affordable service was beautiful an drinks were real drinks❤️❤️“

“The small mom and pops places are absolutely the best handmade hamburger patties, homemade chili, fries are topped with a secret seasoning, no ketchup required, the atmosphere is like and old diner, clean, lots of seating either indoors or on the patio, it’s well worth the 30 minute drive from our house to Granite Quarry for the burgers, dogs, fries and the small town atmosphere“
