Parking: Small lot , kinda hard to maneuver a larger vehicle”

“Since moving to Forest City a few months ago I had been wanting to find a local coffee shop and this AM I found Hope House! I got the 20oz Banana Bread Latte and oh it hit my soul just right with perfection! As a hobby baker for over 22 years I am always looking for that perfect blend! I live in Forest City and teach in Asheville so I have quite a haul every weekday morning! I was met with kindness and hospitality as I pulled in the drive thru, received 10% off as an educator and had an amazing coffee to start my work day! Thank you so much and I definitely will be back and will spread the word around for people to check this place out!”

“This place is truly a hidden gem, and it’s hard to find anything negative to say about it. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s the kind of spot that takes pride in what they serve and how they treat their customers. Their breakfast is easily among the best in town—fresh, flavorful, and consistently well-prepared. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or something simple, they deliver every time.

Their lunch options are just as impressive, if not better. The menu has a great variety, and everything tastes like it’s made with care. The hamburgers, in particular, deserve a special mention—they’re juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. It’s the kind of meal you look forward to coming back for.

The atmosphere adds even more to the experience. It’s warm, comfortable, and welcoming, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy your food. The staff is wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always ready to make you feel at home. Their positive energy really elevates the entire visit.

Overall, this place is a solid 10 out of 10. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, grabbing lunch, or just looking for a great local spot, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Wonderful! Our new favorite local place! The staff was so sweet and explained the menu to us. They never made us feel rushed! They even let us taste test the pina and the hibiscus, which both were amazing!! The Birria was outstanding as well!! We loved that they had a custom bar where you could build up your tacos. So much better than having just a salsa bar like most places have! They were also so friendly to our 6 month old! They had him smiling from ear to ear!! Can’t wait to go back! 10/10 recommend!!”

“Salad bar was super fresh and GREAT. Homemade ranch was thick and delicious. We got a plain cheese pizza and it was sooooo good. Crispy thin crust. Super cheesy. Excellent flavor. Staff were all super nice and service was great”

“I have not been to it so can’t speak for the location which is why I’m playing it safe with a 3 for atmosphere, but I’ve had it delivered a few times and have had no complaints with any of their food. My order has always been right.”

“It's everything you would expect for a road side diner. Quick service, hot food and cold ice tea. We had hot dogs and the weiners were fried, yum. The folks around us had burgers and they looked good too.”

Whether you’re stopping by with friends, family, or just treating yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend checking it out—you’ll definitely want to come back!”

“delicious food, great staff Huge pancakes !”

“🙂 I absolutely love this restaurant and the staff. It’s been under new management and they are doing an amazing job. The food is phenomenal. I haven’t tried anything I haven’t liked yet and the staff are always genuine and friendly. Definitely check out their night life vibe on karaoke nights on Tuesday and Friday nights. It’s always a fun crowd, no matter who shows up. Come with the intention to let loose and connect. It’s always worth it to put your authentic self forward and connect with the locals. Show up and bring/tell your friends. I promise you won’t be disappointed”

“The food is great here and the prices are reasonable. Less expensive than most. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is always clean when I'm in. I cannot review on the bathrooms because I've never even looked for them in there. Portion sizes are great. Most people use the drive-thru for whatever reason but they do. Around dinner time the drive through line will be halfway down food Lion parking lot or more. This is a popular restaurant. I would definitely recommend a visit to Akita Express Japanese grill on Broadway in Forest City North Carolina.”

“Best food around especially when leroy is working. he makes the food PROfectoussssss”
