“Gigi’s parlor is delicious! We stopped by on a hot Sunday afternoon and the water ice for sure cooled us down! Kid friendly and the woman working was very kind. Gigis parlor is definitely a place you don’t want to miss out on!“

“Walk-up Dairy Queens are rare around here. We would give it five stars for its pure existence, but the customer service is almost always a little dead behind the eyes, so to speak. They also don’t use their windows effectively, creating a lot of crowding around the order window. If they used the other far window for serving like most walk-ups we’ve been to, it would make a huge difference.“

“Today is my birthday and I was looking forward to a birthday reward in the app. I never received one. I go in and tell them today is my birthday and didn't have the reward in my app ( I didn't know you had to be a silver level) the gentleman working explained the reason I didn't have the reward and he was kind enough to give me a cookie for my birthday today!!“

“Met my boyfriend for our first date here 3 years ago. Just recently moved back to this area, was looking for a chill coffee spot. Went here once by myself. Neat spot, good atmosphere. We sat inside. The cashier stared at us the whole time and asked us to hurry. They told us we had a limit of an hour inside. We didn't question it and left. This was 3 years ago. Could of been my new favorite coffee spot. Have not and will not be back.“

“Best wedding cake ever! The sweetest lady there made our dream wedding cake! Not here to slander another business, but our original wedding cake came from another place and it was an absolute disaster. We went here, the day before the wedding, and explained what had happened and showed her the cake. She made this bride so inexplicably happy when she said she could make me a brand new cake, exactly the way I wanted it, in 24 hours. The end result was better than I could have dreamed it to be! She was absolutely amazing, in customer service and in her baking/decorating abilities. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing any types of cakes or cookies for special occasions. They will make sure it is what you want and make it look incredible!“

“This Culvers was extremely impressive. We stopped by for lunch on our way to Asheville. When I say they were busy, that may be an understatement. Line out the door, drive thru lined up, parking lot FULL. Being that we had received a Culver's gift card for christmas, we decided to go ahead and stay. The staff was extremely friendly. We waited about 10 minutes in line to order considering the amount of people. Then only had to wait about 15 minutes for our hot and fresh food to be at our table. I have experienced longer wait times at other Culver's in an environment that was not a fraction of the amount of busy they were. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I want to give props to the crew working. They were on it! Everything was clean, even the drink station! As stated before, very impressed with how this location is ran. Like a smooth sailing ship. Great job guys!“
