The fish sandwich was very good are grandchildren enjoyed the corn dogs and hamburgers my wife had a bacon cheeseburger she said it was good. The custard's are very good but for me the standout was the fish sandwich and I loved their diet root beer it is very good.“

“It's been years since I have had food at a Hickory Tavern. I ordered the Smokehouse burger, and it was delicious. It came out fairly quickly. Our server was really good. I can't remember her name, but she was working the bar on December 9th, we were at table 33 (the three sisters). We want to thank her again! She was quick, nice, and understanding.“

“My friend and I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon get-together at the Tap and Vine in Indian Trail! Great food, Proseco, atmosphere and wonderful service by Abraham. We'll be back!“

“Fantastic mom and pop restaurant that’s connected to the Ford dealership. You’ll be greeted with friendly smiles and quick service. I had the Philly cheeseteak with potato salad and it was fantastic and way above expectations.Don’t sleep on this gem on a restaurant tucked away in Indian Trail“

“Yep, it's a thing, you love it or hate it. The food is always fresh, my go-to is the pork chop sandwich plate, scattered & smothered and OJ. The chop is served bone in (or out if you request it). Burger set of beautiful lettuce and tomatoe, onion, and pickles on a generic bun. Just a nice sandwich. Consistant quality everywhere. Drop in sometime, especially if it isn't one of your normal places. This is Mikie, and I like it.“

I had a large order and couldn't decide on what flavors. he brought out his recommendation and that's what I picked and it was very good and he also gave me fries and a lemonade that was really good. if I was so far away in Florida I would be going every weekend to eat.

“I live in Maryland and often visit my sister who lives in Monroe.
The food is delicious and the services is as equally good.
I was blown away on a visit to the Palace and the waitress knew what I wanted.
Talk about extraordinary customer service.
Thank you for making me feel like part of the community.
I never leave town without a visit to the Palace for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
In addition the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.
I wish there were more restaurants that took this type of time to take care of there customers.

KUDOS!! to the Palace.“

“Friendliest staff, excellent customer service, and delicious food.“

“If you asked me a few weeks ago if I would recommend this place, I probably would say yes. We usually never have any issues here but this past Saturday was terrible. There weren't many people inside which was nice but the hostess was so focused on her phone that she didn't see us come in. One of the waitress asked her if she helped us yet. I believe the owner took our order which she got wrong. I'm allergic to gluten and the Philly cheese was on a regular bun and not gluten free. She told me I spoke to quietly and didn't hear me. WTF? She heard me say my order ( Philly, meat and cheese, with fruit) but she didn't hear the gluten free part? I asked my daughter if I said it just to make sure and she said I did. Being a vegan is a choice, being allergic to gluten is not. I'm not sure if we will come back. She didn't even apologize. One of the other waitress was very nice about it and apologized.“

“Every time I come up to Indian trail I stop at the bridge restaurant.. I recommend everything as all their dishes are fresh and delicious.. their staff is amazing and quick service too! Thank you all and can’t wait to come back in the next time I’m back in IT.. Happy Holidays to all and a HNY 2025..“

“Everything! Food excellent! Staff,the best!“

“Friendly staff, super clean, packed with older folks (lots if retired military) and affordable meals! Great place for a country breakfast with the family!“

“We had a surprise birthday party for a family member today!! What a great time. We had use of the Queens room, The food was great as usual but I need to bragg especially in our server Jeanette. She was amazing she handled us all with efficiency and grace!! I know we drove her crazy but she was amazing!!!! Thank you John’s place for a wonderful time and again kudos to Jeanette !!!“

“The fish and chips I had here were pretty exceptional for an unassuming-looking American restaurant. Fish was fried well and was crispy. Needed more salt. But the medallion-style fries were unironically the best fries I've had outside my kitchen. Perfectly crispy exterior, soft interior, seasoned with Lawry's, and came out piping hot.

Even the slaw-- which is never good-- WAS good.

Will definitely be back just for those fries.“

“Eat there every time we are in the area. We always enjoy the home cooked food. Tonight my husband had the baked chicken with dressing, green beans and black eyed peas. I had the sausage with cabbage, mashed potatoes and black eyed peas. Both meals were delicious!!“

“Nina was the absolute best server! Would totally recommend and would ask for her when we coke back.“

“Visited Matthews, NC few days ago and had lunch here. The food was awesome (I had Jalapeno Poppers and Peter Piper burger), and so was the beer selection (I had a really good blonde ale (cannot recall the name unfortunately)). Service was great, and washrooms were clean. The place has a really cool vibe to it, looks like one would feel at home there while watching sports on one of the many screens.“

“it's rare to find scratch made hollandaise, and they probably have the best. Rhea as a server is amazing and attentive.“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Make sure to check this place out!“

“I was very hungry when I entered knife and fork on a Thursday at 4:00. The server with pierced face was very polite and nice and greeted me with smile when i entered the door. She was able to get the waitress and get my food to me quicker than I have ever had. Top notch service for a top-notch establishment. I will be coming here more often.“

“Angie was absolutely amazing! Friendly and prompt. Food was delish!“

“Great place with great food and service. The very infamous rule about cell phones is understandable but it feels oppressive and makes you feel worried about even just looking at your phone on silent.

Parking: Very small parking lot. Difficult to find a space during busy times.“

“I’d be remiss to begin a review without sharing that Madelyn is an incredible server. We are frequently here because of her welcoming spirit. We appreciate how inclusive it feels for customers of all ages. While we’d love to see corporate put in some effort in the aging atmosphere, the restaurant is consistently clean.“

“Down home cooking great variety, Southern Greek foods. Older restaurant with great food and great service. GREAT Service! We have visited several times and they always go over and above our expectations. We quickly noticed that although we may have an assigned table and waitress, the waitresses support one another. A family atmosphere like a friend invited you to "dad & mom's" house for a bite to eat, and mom and the family give it their all.“

“Great food and service. Nice atmosphere and place. Will definitely try again.“

“Perfect place!! The Chicken&Waffles are absolutely delicious…” garnish with maple syrup and just a sprinkle of powdered sugar” …”Simply Amazing ““

“Great customer service! I stopped today to get a cup of coffee. I start by saying I am not an avid coffee drinker. I let them know this and they made a suggestion, I did not like it. Before I left the establishment they made sure that I had a perfect cup of coffee that I enjoyed at no charge. If you haven't tried them you should go. #MonroeGem“

“Great service, great food. Got to catch up with a good friend.“

“Very delicious food and great service.“

“Always an amazing experience coming here!! Been coming here for months with friends and family and always have such an incredible time! Ms.Jackie always is so welcoming and makes the visit so worth it each time!“

“I visited Hef's Restaurant for the first time this past Sunday night (June 29) an it was awesome! The best part was our waitress Jamie. She was amazing! What a personality! And she gave us incredible service and was so nice and professional.

Also, this may seem small to you but THANK YOU for having Stevia sweetener packets! Stevia is the best and most healthy sweetener and a few restaurants serve them but not many. Having Stevia sweeteners will definitely make me come back!

And finally, being open until 2:00 a.m. is terrific. I play tennis a lot in the evenings until 10:00 p.m. and not many places are open. So, you will see my tennis group coming after tennis in the future.

Keep up the great work and God Bless!

“The best part of Jekyll and Hyde is the amazing employees and the atmosphere. We were greeted and sat by a hostess with the most fun hair that compliments the steampunk feel of the restaurant and she was all smiles and very welcoming and friendly. Awesome start to dinner. Our server was Kaylee and she also made the experience very enjoyable and I would recommend asking for a table in her section if you go in. My drink was never empty and she made sure we enjoyed all our food. The food was great all around. Looking forward to going back soon!“
