“The vibe here is amazing! I love a double entendre so walking in to see a sign that says “meat here” with a giant arrow instantly gives me the giggles! The multicolored decor and cool artwork made it hard to do anything but keep smiling. As soon as we’re seated our waitress says “I love your earring and all your jewlery” and I was smitten. I took my jacket off right as she was brining our food. “I love your tattoos” she says and I’m falling in love with this place. The cheesin steak sandwich is smothered in cheese, the wings are crispy, our appetizers came out fast and hot, and the atmosphere was great. I was having such a good time I didn’t even mind the watered down, chunkless blu cheese. You won’t either I promise! My husband and friends notified the waitress it was my 29th birthday to which she replied “29 would have never guessed your 29!” and I’m a little shocked. The thing is it was 13th 29th birthday so I reply “ and how old did you think I was?” I’m expecting a 35 or 36…. She says “24!” I laughed so much and said “I’m actually 42” and it was her turn to be shocked. She actually insisted I pull out my ID and that’s when I knew this lunch date was a Flirtatious Fork 5 star “Marry Me” good! ❤️ the food, the vibe, the service, the drinks (get the emerald godness, it’s amazing!) 💔 having to leave and knowing there isn’t a groovy beast near me! If im ever in Gastonia again I’ll go back!“

The food was delicious. The order was ready when I arrived for pickup. The food was fresh, no French Fries in old grease which tends to make them look brown. The white sauce on the Gyro which I can’t pronounce was in the correct amount not drowning the peta bread. The Club Sandwich wash fresh. The lettuce was crunchy not soggy. I will eat there again. I do recommend them.“

“So was in dynasty Buffett today with my son and daughter in law and our service was good, until I went to the counter to pay for our meals. I go up to the counter to pay and the next thing I know, the guy that waited on us( his name is Reno), literally takes my card from my hand when I was handing it to the lady behind the counter( I wasn't handing it to him). He just takes it from my hand and that really upset me.. You should never grab a customers card out of their hand like that without having permission to do so.and he did 😡. So to say I'm upset is an understatement!!!!!!!. I go back into dynasty to ask if the manager was there and they wasn't, and I started to leave my number for them to call me when they were there, but I thought better about it. Because while I didn't appreciate the waiter taking my card from my hand without permission, I decided I'd come back another day and ask for the manager in person. That way I can talk face to face...that day will be very soon and ill keep going back each day until I get to speak to the manager. Everything else about the restaurant was fine and the food was good with a big selection to choose from. I have no complaints about the place in general, but the management should hire a better staff of people that don't just take a customers card out of their hand without permission.. Especially when the customer wasn't handing it to the waiter in the first place. I was handing it to the lady behind the counter. I'm not sure why the waiter did what he did but it was rude and the waiter should be spoken to about his actions, otherwise he might do it again to someone else that won't be as nice as I was about it I will be talking to management.“

I would have thought the hostess sitting the man and woman would have put them somewhere else not close to people. I did stop by the man and tell him about his cologne. He just laughed.“
