It's 2025. How hard is it to not serve food in toxic styrofoam? Styrofoam plates for people who are dining in is just ridiculously lazy. Also, I don't see how this place gets so many good reviews, the baked chicken is filled with grease. Skip this one, There's plenty of other lesser known southern places that are actually good.

No nonsense place to eat. If you like Southern cooking, you’ll like Home Plate. Plates won’t break the bank and will fill you up. They make your plate behind the counter or you can grab your food through the drive through as well.
I’ve had the fried chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, banana pudding, and the sweet tea/lemonade. I’ve been here twice and surprised I didn’t eat here more often when I lived in the area. This place is a go to stop if I visit out that way.

The food wasn’t the issue; it was the customer service. I visited Homeplate this evening, September 19th. While my plate was being fixed, I noticed that the top of the styrofoam plate was broken. When the lady at the register was putting my plate in the bag, I started mentioning that the plate was broken and asked if she could tie the bag tightly so that the top stayed down. However, I didn’t even get that far before she immediately cut me off. She then turned to the young man who fixed my plate and said, “She wants a new plate.” I told her, “No, I don’t. It’s all good.” She continued to instruct the young man to give me a new plate. I reiterated that I was fine and that a new plate wasn’t needed. After the lady at the register finally put my plate in the bag, I noticed that after all that commotion, my potato salad had never been put in a container. I mentioned this, and I was met with attitude. Once the potato salad was packaged, my girlfriend and I proceeded to leave. As we were leaving, the lady at the register said, “The customers are going in tonight.” Now, I’m not sure what she meant by that, but when she was asked if there was a problem, she said, “No.” We then continued out the door only to hear her shout, “That’s what I thought!”
This whole interaction was unnecessary and unprofessional. The cashier’s assumption that I wanted a whole new plate caused all this uncomfortable drama.

Good food at an affordable price. Atmosphere is what you make it.
I tell you what....I just ate some of the best blueberry cobbler this side of heaven. We come here often and have never had a bad experience, but that cobbler by itself warrants a review today...I'd almost say its better than grandma's but I can't be that disloyal😂😂 When I say ita good. It is good! Repost...to the right account.

Home Plate brought back nostalgic memories from growing up in rural NC that I haven't tasted in so long! The fried chicken was delicious and crispy, everything was well seasoned and the prices were shocking (in a good way)! My husband and I both got plates full of quality food and fountain drinks for under $25! No frills, but none needed. Food with love that reminds me of home. Definitely a regular spot for us from now on!

The white guy who’s always at the drive-thru window is extremely weird. I’ve only been to this place three times total (April 28, May 5, & June 25), and he acts way too familiar every time, while I keep the interactions short and polite with minimal eye contact. Today, he handed me my food bag before returning my card, so I took my foot off the brake to drive off. He stopped me and said, “Wait, your card is still processing.” I said, “Oh, sorry,” and backed up. Then he randomly accused me of having done that before. Mind you, this has NEVER happened. I don’t forget anything. I corrected him, told him I’ve only been there three times, and I’ve never done that before. He doubled down and said, “I remember you. You’ve driven off before I gave you your card.” That’s completely false and I just ignored him after that.
Every time I’ve been there including my very first visit, he says statements to me, whether it’s about my accessories or saying he recognizes me. My second time there, he did give me a free banana pudding, which of course I appreciated, but I mention it because it shows a pattern of him creating a sense of familiarity. I don’t know this man, and I don’t go to restaurants to be remembered. I just want my food and a brief professional interaction without all the extra comments especially ones he made up in his head. Today’s interaction was uncomfortable and bizarre. I don’t appreciate being falsely accused or lied on by a stranger at a drive-thru. Thankfully, I spoke with the owner, Brian and he said it would be addressed immediately. I truly hope it is. The guy at the window needs to stop acting familiar with customers who barely come there. You don’t know me, and clearly your memory is flawed. Do better. I won’t be returning.
(I know this is a long review, but I wanted to explain the full situation.)
