“I worked here a few months back, and I truly miss it all the time. The food is fresh, clean and healthy, the staff genuinely care about every person that comes in, and it is such a great and positive atmosphere for anyone looking to join the fit community. I wish I hadn’t moved away so I could spend my weekends there again!“

“I had a call in order of a smoke sausage sandwich with egg and cheese...and when I tell you Ronnie, Chad and Lee made my sandwich with love. I bit into it... stopped and called and told them how wonderful it was. The absolute best breakfast sandwich I have had in a long time!!!“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place a LONG time, but they are only open on weekdays from 7-2:30 so that has kept me away until today and a light schedule afforded time to check it out! So glad I did! Where can you get fresh veggies, homemade desserts and great meat for the prices they charge? No where! We ate for $18 and we were stuffed. The special is $8 and it includes a beverage you can’t get fast food for that! Everything was delicious. Check it out if you’re in Goldsboro ❤️“

“Our server Jennifer was very nice and welcoming.. you can sit anywhere theirs an open table so we sat right by the kitchen an the smells of fresh ingredients increased my appetite. I ordered the homemade waffle with pecans 3 eggs scrambled with cheese the home fries an 2 turkey sausage links an a bowl of grits. My wife ordered Mitchell’s Mayham which consisted of a gravy biscuits with shredded cheese an eggs on top we even got French toast an eggs for our son let me tell you this place is a Dimond in the rough for sure as for everything we ate was great…. I highly recommend this place for breakfast. They even serve lunch for 11 till 2 if your ever in Goldsboro NC give this place a try“

“We heard about Carl and Chelle's and decided to give them a try! It's your down home - Mom and Pop steakhouse. The decor definitely needs to be brightened up and updated. Everyone was super nice! The restaurant and rest rooms were clean. They began to fill up quickly, so although not required I would make a reservation. I was quite shocked that they still had a public salad bar! I'm not a fan of buffets or shareable bars, but I got a salad and it was good! Our server was nice and she came around with a cart with visuals and then an open piece of meat that you could choose the cut of your steak if you like. I wasn't a fan of bringing the steak to be cut to the table, but that's just me. Our food came out in good timing and no one had any major complaints, but the asparagus was a little too charred. Also for the shrimp some type of butter sauce would have been delicious. I would have also enjoyed a good sauce for the chicken breast. We did not indulge in dessert because I made a cake at home, but they do have homemade slices of cakes/pies if you would like dessert. They have their own parking lot and most dishes were about $25 and up depending on the steak you choose. Overall a pretty good place to enjoy a good meal quickly! Dress is come as you are- we dressed casual and I felt a little overdressed. So if you are celebrating- dress up, but regular clothing is acceptable here also.“

“When we go to North Carolina we try to make it a point to stop here. The first time we stopped it was because we saw the billboard signs. We got to sit with the owners father and he told us the story of how Adams came to be-that was a treat! Very delicious food! I can't remember the name of the sandwich I tried this time, it had brisket and pulled pork, I asked them to add jalapenos and oh boy, it was tasty! I asked what the lady recommended as a side, she recommended the Mac and cheese, it is homemade. It was delectable! We will continue making Adams pay off our trip!Parking: Plenty of parking in their dirt lot“

“New favorite ice cream shop! Wonderful service, delicious rich ice cream, selection of yummy hot food (zucchini fry’s were awesome) refreshing homemade lemonade with flavors such a strawberry, blackberry and pineapple! The decor had me feeling nostalgic with old school rap and R&B memorabilia. There’s a colorful wall mural with a phrase reminiscent of the chorus hook line to Jay-Z’s “99 problems” that says “99 problems but ice cream ain’t one” You got that right! They have an old school speaker/boombox decor themed counter area. They are truly a notch above the rest!“

“As a planner, florist, and decor rentals.. I recommended Skullies Street Q to my clients. Not only do they have the BEST brisket ever… their creative catering menu satisfies a wide variety of clients. They offer several options of service to fit into budgets from food truck, buffet, plated, stations, and full service catering truck needs. Amazing bartenders too!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for client dietary restrictions!“

“On 4/ 05 we had a party of 14, Chris our waiter or server what ever you call him, was wonderful. He was smiling, plesant, all of our orders were correct, and even though he had other tables he was still making sure everyone, even at the other tables was taken care of. I will return because of this young man. Thank you Chris for excellent service.“

“Came here today with a couple of my buddies to come try this place and it was the best bbq I’ve had in a long time , those young man and women was so great with customer service and my food was HOT ,I just want to say that’s a great place to eat with family and friend. And special thanks to the young manager that made my food. We will be coming back. ?“

“The foods are exceptional! I went their another location in Goldsboro. Both of them were so good!! There is a variety of menu choices. Especially, they have so many choices of hamburgers! I really enjoy trying different hamburgers whenever I order!“

“I was traveling for work and decided to get some lunch near the training center. The wait time was minimal before my order was taken. I was greeted when I walked in. The restaurant is inside a convenient store but don't let that deter you. My order was approximately ready 7 minutes after placing my order. I ordered the oxtails, cabbage, rice and beans with plantains. I also ordered the jerk chicken for my dinner with the same sides. The food was very delicious. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor and the seasoning was perfect for me. The portions were nice and I didn't mind paying their prices. I will definitely visit again.Parking: Located in a strip shopping center with a few small businesses.“

“4-1-23Two locations, this being the Rosewood one. Came for dinner on the date above. Interior is unique in that some seating is around a corner. Limited. Our table felt a tad sticky but wasn't dirty. Menus, however, were dirty.Got the Coastal Platter (16.99). A lot of food! Preface by saying I wanted okra and catfish, but they were out of both. So I got flounder, oysters, trout, mac and cheese, fries, and it comes with puppies. I found the trout ok but would have preferred catfish. Would skip it. The flounder was fried nicely, light and flavorful. Excellent. Oysters were also fried nicely with a hint of sweet bite to them. Excellent, too. Would totally reorder both the flounder and oysters. Mac and cheese and fries are good, accompanying sides. Puppies did nothing for me and needed butter.Service was good and waitress attentive. Needs to work on inventory a bit as was really looking forward to okra and catfish.Fry Daddy's is true to its name with an exhaustive fried menu. Are you looking for fried food without the grease splatter mess? This is a good option. Details, however, can make it great.Parking: Small.“

“I heard so much about this place and so I had to eventually try it, and it didn't fail me. I had the chitterlings and collards, and potatoe salad and I bought chicken salad and pineapple cake and pig picking cake. I know that's a lot but didn't know if I would be going again. But it was pretty good I must say.. I just needed me some fried cornbread. The owner came out and she was so nice and stood on her product. She sold me and my cousin.. it's definitely worth the try.. I'm full as a tick.“

“Laughing owl has been downtown for several years now, and it has only gotten better since then. The quality of the food is amazing, it just tastes fresh. If you are looking for Asian Fusion cuisine, this is your place! Highly recommend. My favorite go to is the General Tso Chicken. The environment is so peaceful, I love when they have live music playing. The service is another perk of Laughing Owl, everyone is so nice and super attentive. A very welcoming place for dinner with friends or the whole family!“

“This review is based off our last visit. Everyone was seated in the bar area which meant it was crowded. Tables were too small. The yeast rolls were not cooked all the way through, very doughy. There were no croutons on our salads. Main entrees were good. Our waitress was good.“

“Had some exposed broken light switches, but aside from that their burgers tasted fresh, and had a perfect blend of ingredients. Their pancakes were as always... legendary.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: A kid friendly environment“
