“I came across Nickie by chance. She came through for me on 2 birthday cakes and was absolutely understanding and worked well with me. On puck up for everything she has done for me she has been through and showed me what I was getting and what to expect. Cutting the cakes where Amazing they are delicious and not a single piece was leftover everyone was going back for more.

“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!”

“We enjoyed a delicious and affordable Sunday Brunch this past weekend. There were lots of homemade options paired with great service and a welcoming staff. After years away, we'll be back soon.”

“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”

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

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The pimento cheese balls were outstanding—rich, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. The steak was cooked to perfection, exactly as ordered, and the baked potato was light, fluffy, and cooked just right. We also shared the Penny Tower. 😋

We visited on a Saturday in the early evening before the Christmas light display and had about a 35-minute wait, which was absolutely worth it. By the time we left, the wait had grown to 2–2.5 hours. While the service did slow down as the restaurant became busier, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and well worth the wait.”

“their chorizo sopes are perfect!”

“Make sure you like every thing you order before you do cus I couldn't eat mine. Not there fault just not for me.... Also My Girlfriend loves there's Boba and drinks tho. They are amazing and have a lot of flavors. And there lil shop inside is cool. they have tons of foreign candt, drinks and items.”

“Pelican’s SnoBalls is one of our favorite spots to stop, cool off, and enjoy something sweet. We’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The flavors are endless, the portions are generous, and everything tastes exactly the way a treat should — fun, refreshing, and made with care.

The staff here is always friendly and patient, even on those busy summer days when the line stretches out. They keep the place running smoothly, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. Whether we’re grabbing our usual or trying something new, they always get it right.

It’s become one of those places we look forward to visiting again and again. Great service, great treats, and a great atmosphere — you really can’t ask for more. If you’re in Forest City and want something delicious, Pelican’s SnoBalls & Ice Cream is the place to go.”

“The food was awesome. The fries are absolutely delicious. The waitress was very kind and polite. I will definitely be back for them chicken strips an fries. 10 stars if possible”

“🙂 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 good but not the same I remember they used to serve pork fried rice with their food but since I been home it has not been the same. If I have to ask for it instead someone let me know.”
