“Great food! Awesome family. Mulitas are so good!!!”

“Absolutely amazing! I ordered a cake and cupcakes for my daughter’s baby shower and I honestly couldn’t have been any happier with how everything turned out. Nickie went above and beyond to bring my daughter’s vision for her cake to life. Not only was the design gorgeous but it tasted delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a huge hit with our guests. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is talented, creative, and truly cares about making your event special. Thank you Nickie! ❤”

“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.”

“Davis Donut House is one of those true Forest City originals — a place with history, heart, and donuts so good they’ve become a local legend. The shop first opened in 1972, founded by Charles and Shirley Davis as the town’s very first bakery, and for decades they welcomed customers starting at 5:30 a.m. until the last donut was gone. Over the years, ownership passed through caring local hands, but the commitment to tradition never changed. Today, the bakery still uses the original recipes and hand‑crafted methods that have kept people coming back for more than 45 years. Rutherford County, NC

Their most famous creation — the Orange Twist — is a true Forest City icon. It accounts for more than half of their entire business and is something you can only get here. They also offer more than 25 varieties of donuts, all made fresh daily, with the bakery producing around 2,000 dozen donuts each week to meet the demand.

One thing every local knows: you have to get there early. These donuts sell out fast, especially on weekends, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. The early‑morning crowd is part of the charm — a sign of just how beloved this place is.

The staff is friendly, the donuts are consistently fresh and delicious, and the sense of tradition is something you can feel the moment you walk in. Davis Donut House isn’t just a bakery — it’s a piece of Forest City history, and it’s absolutely worth waking up early for. Five stars, every time.”

“their chorizo sopes are perfect!”

“Alba and Mario have a fantastic restaurant. Homemade Italian food at its finest. I had eggplant parm and hubby had chicken parm - you could taste the authentic flavored rapped in the dish. We happened upon Mario’s on drive between Chattanooga to Charlotte. It’s a small place but Alba is on top of her customers with a positive attitude. We got to chatting at the end of the night and explained that it was our 27th wedding anniversary… Albas wishes were so kind and sincere and honestly this was the best dinner choice. We finished with a slice of chocolate cake and it was rich and Devine. This is definitely a repeat location!!”

“Amazing 10/10. Djdnf”

“Friendly service, great food”

“Valerie was an excellent waitress. She made sure to take care of our order. Food was delicious! Will return!”

“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.”

“We eat here all the time. The pizza is so good! A large feeds two adults and two kids! A bargain for sure! Staff is so kind!”

“Best in town! The DoorDash is good too!”

“🙂 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”
