Parking: The location has limited spots, but the city has created parking along the street. I'm not sure if there is a cost as we got a spot in the lot.“

“Came here for lunch and ordered the jerk chicken lunch special with a Ting. The rice and peas were great, cabbage was good, and the jerk chicken was great. I am not normally a big fan of the gravy style jerk chicken, but this was perfect. Good amount of spice and everything had a good amount of flavor. Wash it all down with a Ting for less than $15 out the door. Worth a stop here if you are passing through the area. Staff was also very friendly and fast.“

“Had a birthday party there last night. There was about 15 of us. The management and staff was absolutely amazing!!!“

“I was hungry so I did technically start eating a little before the photos. My bad.This place has some of the best décor around. Ornate wood at booths and chairs.Carne Asada was very good and cooked to order. I went medium but a portion was bit medium rare. I will shoot for medium well next time to gauge. Rest of this plates breakdown: Beans are a little runny but taste good. Rice was a little on the dryer side than I am used to but not bad. The pickled medley was tasty. I only eat small portions of the jalapeno but it was good as well. Guacamole was good too.Side note. Guacamole as App states they make it at your table which I will be trying next time for sure.Super Nachos with beef and queso style cheese. See pics. Wife thought it was good.Salsa was good and had heartier chunks of onion etcQueso was runny buy very good. I personally would like it with a little more pepper chunks in it but we share with a small kid.Note: $60.00 w/o tip (Large Queso, kids cheese Quesadilla w/ R/B, Super Nachos w/ beef, Quesadilla, Carne Asada and 2 Dos Equis)“

“My husband and I are celebrating our 14th anniversary today and he is working in Gastonia so I drove to celebrate with him. We found Lotus Bar & eatery and we were not disappointed. From the host to our server the experience was wonderful. The food was very well seasoned and prepared. Our server Kit was pleasant, helpful and seemed to care that we were having a special night. Big thank you to the staff of Lotus Bar & Eatery.“

“Great food! The salad dressings are delicious and totally drinkable. Our server on Sunday Brian was fun, friendly and attentive. One of the best servers I’ve had there. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants consistency.“

“I love this place. It is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area. My favorite California roll ever! My family and I are regulars both in person and through doordash as well.“

“We ordered take out and when the manager confirmed our take out order he realized it was incorrect. He offered the items which were ready now for free along with free drinks while we waited for the correct order. It was a kind and considerate offer which we accepted with gratitude. I hate watching perfectly good food being wasted without being offered to the customer.“

“Great food, good service.“

“love everything! Best Phö around!“

“I actually giggled leaving the store at 6 am with a huge double bacon BLT and a side of crinkle cut fries. It smelled so good. I dove right in just sitting in the parking lot. Scarfed half the sandwich before I hit Hudson Blvd. Couldn't touch the fries though they were so hot!I was charged less than $10 and, frankly, am quite blown away by the quality of the food. Amazing!“

“Had breakfast here Sunday morning 11/20 /2022 delicious food, service and the entire staff happy, smiling and getting the work done , did I mention it was very crowed ? Great experience !!!“

“My wife and I got great service and a lot of fresh and tasty food for the money. Compared to other local hibachi options like Yamato, our experience here was better with more menu choices, bigger portions and higher quality meats. The place was super clean and bright too. We’ll definitely go back.“

“I stopped, as this was my first time visiting after seeing a lot of advertising on social media. The young man at the counter was very friendly, and recommended the special. $7 Crab leg cluster, and .75 Shrimp ( had to order at least 10) The food was hot and the flavor was good. I like mine a little more garlicky but I'll let them know next time. The restaurant was well. It could use a little cleaning, but it was ok.“

“Throughly enjoyed my ribeye except what kind of meat was it. Some of it was tough. The garlic butter didn't melt. And being here the second time. Bake potato was cold wouldn't even melt the cheese and not cooked through. Plus my husband asked for the same batter that they used on the shrimp for the fish. Absolutely 💯 perfect . The restaurant need to add it to the menu for fish and Chip with malt vinegar. He comes from England. More business for you“

“Went for my birthday Tuesday night, was disappointed that they had no bread, one of my favorite things. No sign when we went in, but one was up when I left.“

“Great food and customer service“

“This was my first time eating here. I got the tenderloin platter which was delicious. With a drink it was about $13. The seating capacity was less than I expected. Probably seating for about 20 people tops. You order at the counter/cash register and sit till your order is brought to you. I will return.“

“My advice just check your food prior to make sure you have everything they seem to forget alot lately. Just updating since this post they have gotten better as far as making sure you have everything however it can't hurt to male sure you do. They have some of the best chicken.“

“I left North Carolina, and came back for a visit tonight… As soon as I saw the showmars sign, it was very pleasing. It was excellent“

“I’d rather eat here than Cracker Barrel. The atmosphere is probably more locals than travelers. I’d say the travelers leave the bad reviews. The sausage was amazing. I wish they had homemade biscuits instead of prepackaged biscuits, but you can’t be perfect. My eggs were cooked just how i requested. I’d rather eat here than Cracker Barrel.

“Hello, we had dinner at the Outback Steakhouse in Gastonia on July 16, 2022. Our server was Elainey. She greeted us warmly and took our orders. After we were served, she kept track of all our needs from drinks to extra salad dressing and bread. She is an exceptional person, friendly, outgoing and took very good care of us. Our food was delicious, the service outstanding. We had a great day. Many thanks to hiring excellent people“

“Food is decent. I've never ordered off their menu. Buffet is always stocked. Kevin seems to be our usual server. Kevin is soft spoken but is attentive enough. I like that they have gloves, so at least I feel like it's sanitary!“
