“I'm a firm believer in supporting small businesses. Hope House gives towards a worthy cause, locally owned and a much better vibe than any Starbucks could offer. Not to mention the coffees are excellent and you'd be hard pressed to get a better muffin anywhere. Staff is always courteous and attentive.”
“Good place, cordial and careful attention. Food very good portion size. Very well prepared. Very economical prices!! This is the best option in the entire town. Very good Don Ramón!”
“I had some plans to meet some friends in Forest City so i googled coffee shops and found this one! When i saw the picture of the vault i knew i had to go. I tried an iced vanilla chai latte for the first time and it was soooooo good! I said in the pink chair by the window and read my book for a while. I loved the atmosphere and the music. I will be back to try a sweet!”
“Just like always, good food and good service and plenty of both. I tried grilled salmon for my 1st time tonight(dietary restrictions due to hypertension), it was ok, I don't have any comparison it was my 1st. But I've had several other dishes and my wife's 2 way combo with fried scallops and shrimp was great, I cheated and had 2 of the scallops, they were out the back door off the chain! My go to "fish camp" nowadays!Parking: Get there early or come late, if the restaurant is full so is the parking lot but there's a bank and other business right next door where parking is available. Maybe a 40 yard walk at the mostKid-friendliness: Great big shark in the foyer I see kids taking photos with, and the beach house atmosphere is welcoming”
“Finally tried Mario's, and I'm upset with myself for waiting so long. Having spent quite a bit of time in the Mediterranean with the Navy, it's refreshing to get the "farmhouse" experience again! Mario's is a super typical, ambiance neglected family style restaurant that you find everywhere in Southern Italy. The owners, despite the length of time spent in the US, run it just like they would back in the old country. Almost no staff, 70's and 80's decor, random music you can barely hear playing from decades old speakers...and the most authentic tasting Italian food I've had in a very long time. Everything about Mario's is utterly perfect for what it is. If you know, you know. And it is blessing they are located in Forest City NC. The lack of a broader customer base is allowing them to continue running the restaurant the way they want to, rather than watering it down to appease sheer masses. If you are in the mood for your Italian Grandma to complain you are looking too thin and to "Eat! Eat!" as she gives you two people's worth of food on a single plate...Mario's is your place!”
“Burgers are thick and juicy, fresh toppings. The chicken wrap is perfect. The wrap is not too thick. The chicken is seasoned, not over seasoned like most places and cooked just right. The fries are fresh not frozen and the onions rings are the good ones. Pepsi is on tap!”
“Eat at the Depot on Sundays on a regular basis. Always great food,staff and service. Best roast beef ever next to Mama's. And this is a big SHOUT OUT to the DEPOT!!!Another plus they have a drive around the restaurant for to go orders. This moves very well.Parking: All kinds of parking”
“The building they are in has been several eateries, but now this Hispanic restaurant is in there, and so far as 1st time consumers, it was delicious!! Definitely looking forward to trying some more plates & the way they have it arranged it is mucho better.”
“Best seafood I ever ate great food staff is great saw big Dave nice as could be I thought I was going to pop my belly recommend highly I will be back flounder shrimp oysters the best steak all ”
“This place has the best breakfast, hands down. The coffee might not be top-notch, but the food is exactly what you want from a greasy spoon and it's ridiculously cheap.”
“Food was fantastic! I got a number 14 and the chili Reno came out wrapped in a soft thin dough ball, which I've never seen before, but it was delicious. The burrito was on point and the rice actually had flavor. The cheese dip was super good, over great experience and food. I wish I didn't live so far away it would become my new favorite spot.”
“I have lived in this county for 10+ years & I had never eaten here until Friday night. I did order food at 8:10 p.m. ( They close @ 9 ) by phone & was told they were busy ( which I appreciated that they communicated that information. ) When I arrived to get my food, I did have to wait. Others were waiting as well. Lady apologized ? ??? about the wait to all of us. She was very polite. ( I'm not sure how many they have working in there either. ) All I know is the Egg Rolls ... ??????????????? ???? ?'?? ???? ???!!! They were sooooo delicious. I didn't get a picture of them because we all dug in... ??♀️??♀️? The food was fresh & amazing. The Orange Chicken & Shrimp Fried Rice were my favorite. & the Crab Rangoons ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Y'all.... If you haven't eaten here, give it a try! I have been missing out!Only issue I did have was we were missing an item from the order ? but again, they were slammed & I understand that.Dietary restrictions: I have a lot of restrictions & I ate comfortably. Everything was so delicious.Parking: Large parking area available. Plenty of spaces.”
“Hometown sort of dining experience featuring homemade chicken entrées and more, with great vegetable sides, bar with beer on tap, kids' menu, highchairs...etc. Dated interior and furnishings but that just adds all the more to its charm and relaxed atmosphere. Great country comfort food and similar sort of appeal!”
“Visited this restaurant a couple times now and both times were exceptional. We always get the Filet Mignon Hibachi and the steak is super tender, cooked to perfect temperature. Can't beat the prices either!”
“The Salted Caramel Mini Cheesecake is the best thing I've eaten in a long time!! It's memorable enough I made a point to leave work early one day to snag another. I've never had anything bad from here, but some things really stand out. The Blueberry Muffins are also a hit at my house.”
“Love this place, they have trivia on tuesdays, music bingo 2nd and last Wednesday of the month! Live music and open mic other Wednesdays! Karaoke EVERY Thursday and live music on the weekends! Great place to come and hangout !Kid-friendliness: PERFECT. Kids love it hereWheelchair accessibility: Perfect”
“The best and most authentic Mexican food you will find!! Never had anything that wasn't amazing from here. Tortas with al pastor is my favorite go to but the beef stew on Sat and Sun is sooo go too! They do have daily specials that are not on the menu they're happy to tell you about if asked ? the also occasionally have birria and let me tell you it's good???”
“My wife and I usually eat at the Snack Shop at least once a week, the food is always great. We ate there last night and our waitress told us that Louie had added some things to the daily menu, Crab stuffed Flounder, Crab stuffed Shrimp and a steak, I ordered the stuffed Flounder, and was I ever pleased, it was undescribably good, can't wait to try the stuffed shrimp. Good job Louie!!!!”
“I love this place, our first icecream of the year! Was a little chilly for icecream but oo so good.Kid-friendliness: They have a corn hole set up for anyone to enjoy”
“We had an exceptional experience at Copper Penny with the exception of one thing.We started with the pimento cheese appetizer which was awesome. It was crunchy, creamy and just delicious. 5/5My son and I both had burgers and both of them were super okay but let me explain. I ordered the bourbon bacon burger and my son the cowboyBurger. Both were perfectly cooked. Both were perfectly seasoned but had the most important of hamburger fatal flaws: a stale bun. I don’t care howGood the burger is, if the bun sucks it’s all for naught. Can I get an AMEN?In seriousness, this place would’ve been a 5 if the bun was better. I’d certainly come back but wouldn’t get anything on a bun again.Service was exceptional.”
“Southside Pizza, promises a warm welcome and satisfying dishes. During my recent visit, I found the atmosphere inviting and the food comforting.The friendly staff made me feel right at home. Southside Pizza is the perfect spot to enjoy a cozy meal and good company. Whether you're craving classic Italian flavors or seeking something new, Southside Pizza offers a taste of home for everyone. Don't miss out!”
“Really great interior. Nicely lit and very colorful. The chairs really stand out but in a good way. The food was great! I wasn't sure what to expect as someone just passing through boiling springs but If you're in the mood for Mexican food it definitely satisfies. Whatever that yellow salsa is is spicy but so delicious. I had the chicken burrito California, the chicken was seasoned well and the beans were delicious. The pico de gallo was tasty and the guac wasn't too salty. They have really big beers and mixed drinks. The prices were honestly a sight for sore eyes. They weren't charging an arm and a leg for a burrito and a beer. Will definitely mark this place in the maps and be stopping by anytime I'm in the area!”
“I love this place and it's one that I'd call a throw back joint. It's not fancy and it looks like it's been here serving locals for a long time. My wife and I left a funeral home in nearby Sandy Mush, N.C. We had to attend a visitation. After this we were a bit hungry. I suggested Mickey D's! She wanted something more original. It's a hamburger joint that also serves various meat and three's. She got a hamburger with lettuce tomato and mayo. I tried two hotdogs and they were solid! We each had fries and sweet tea. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable! I'll be back!”
“It is a great place to eat I bought a chef salad ? and it is so good I love the staff the best place to eat for the price for 3 people to eat you are looking for a price of about 37 bucks I eat breakfast and lunch here sometimes like I said great place to ”
“I ordered my usual bacon and Gruyère cheese egg bites with a flat white and it was wonderful! The baristas are always very kind and accommodating when I ask for a pup cup for my dog. I like being able to order ahead using the app and getting some perks!”
“Yummy. I only had hush puppies and tuna salad but both were very tasty. Super friendly staff. Big menu. Most patrons were getting burgers and fries. Will be back. Go bulldogs!”
“While this place may not look like much, especially compared to Sakuras across the road. Time and time again this restaurant ends up satisfying me better than all other Japanese restaurants in Forest City. They have both the best tasting and the cheapest priced food in the area in regards to Japanese food. I cannot recommend them enough (not to mention their service is very good, too).”
“The most authentic food I’ve eaten in a very long time. Tried multiple items and there isn’t anything we didn’t love. The service was beyond impeccable. Run don’t walk and order some quesabirria, you are going to love it!”
“These donuts are amazing! The prices are a little on the higher side, but you really pay for the size difference compared to your normal sized donut. The one and only reason they donut (yes,intentional and you can chuckle with me) get 5 stars is because they ALWAYS run out of the more popular donuts way too early.”
“This is by far the best 1 I have eaten at in Rutherford Co.Super friendly 5 star staff , very clean restaurant, awesome subs, wonderful ambiance .I will be back as often as I can. Daily would be great ... They're that good. I don't know what they do differently, but I can't get enough.Parking: Small lot , kinda hard to maneuver a larger vehicle”
