“Southern Roots Restaurant has excellent service, high quality dishes, and great staff. We love taking our families here! Southern Roots Catering did my wedding and I cannot say enough! They were very willing to make our ideas come to life (the cutest hot coco and coffee bar). From the gorgeous setups to the sweet staff, you can count on a professional, creative, and delicious experience!“

“BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS wedding cake! I received so many compliments about my wedding cake. Thank you so much! My wedding was back in 2022. Since then I received a 1st year anniversary top cake baked fresh from them complimentary and will be ordering a round cake for my anniversary this year! Can’t wait! 😋😋😋“

“Great food , great service!!!!!! Very clean!!!!!“

“The Kick back Jake's was great I great Experience I visit today!!!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and craft beer on tap! My family and I love this place. My only complaint would be that last time we were here, someone at the table next to us had a dog in a tote bag that was most definitely NOT a service animal. Not one staff member said anything to her. This is a problem for me as I suffer from severe animal allergies. In addition, I don’t feel it is sanitary to bring animals in an establishment where food is being sold/served. Like I said, we love this place, but if this becomes a habit we will have to find another place to go. ☹️“

“Sat at a he bar and had wonderful service and the food was awesome!“

“All was well, great food!“

“I’ve been enjoying Village Tavern for over 25 years—whether celebrating with friends and family or simply stopping in for a casual meal. It’s one of those rare places where I know I can always count on a consistently great meal and warm, attentive service.

There’s truly not a bad seat in the house. The indoor dining area is cozy and welcoming, and I especially love the outdoor patio when the weather’s nice. The large bar inside is perfect for socializing or networking, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. It’s a spot that’s friendly to both families and singles, and the staff always makes everyone feel at home.

Some of my favorites include the fish tacos, meatloaf, and carrot cake—each one consistently delicious and satisfying. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and offers plenty of parking, which makes every visit easy and enjoyable.

Village Tavern has been part of so many memories over the years, and I’m grateful it continues to be a place I can return to with confidence and joy.“

“Had an awesome experience at Ruby Tuesday! Our server, Joshua, was on point the entire time, super friendly, fast, and really made the meal enjoyable. He checked in at the perfect times and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Great service all around!“

“Food is good and I love the sweet tea. But I have to wonder why they constantly skimp on toppings. I ordered a cheeseburger with chili and mustard only and there was maybe a bit more than a dime sized amount of chili and no mustard that I could see. I also order burgers with extra mayo and barely get any. What’s the deal?“

“Just spent my birthday at Elm St Grill and was treated like a star! Food was amazing as always! Thank you to Josh, the bartender for taking such good care of my friend and me, and thank you, Ravi for my birthday present!!! Loved spending my birthday at this fantastic restaurant!!!!“

I even had some of the "Pickiest" of guests tell us how great the food was which says a lot! We will use Derek and his team for other events in the future! Great guy and even better food if that's possible!“

“My husband and I are regulars here. Visiting Melt is really a highlight of our week. Everyone who works there is so down to earth and kind. We like to support businesses that treat their employees well. Something we’ve noted is that much of the staff have been with Melt for quite some time. And they seem genuinely happy to be there. It’s just a really bright gem here in Greensboro. And the food? We’ve never had a bad meal there. It’s always so good. And they make a great Old Fashioned :)

Keep on’ shining!“

“Our waiter was rubbing some girls' hair and scalp for 3-4 minutes before coming to serve us. two of our party of 5 were there for lunch. the waiter did not wash his hands and we were disgusted. we did not say anything as I decided to make a written comment at home. He also did not write down our orders saying he had been doing this a long time and didn't need to write down the orders. My friend and I were not happy about him rubbing the friend's hair and scalp in front of customers. thank you“

“Food is good, prices good, friendly staff, quick service, accuracy. I had never been there before. My son and I had gone to the Farmers Market and I wanted something for breakfast so he recommended Abels Grill. He stated the food was really good and the prices were reasonable.“

“Most of the time I get the steak & cheese with fries(Thursday special) but I tried the crispy chicken filet the other day & it was so good. The customer service is amazing, they are always pleasant & get your order out to you fast.“

“We adore Tap Room! The atmosphere is ideal for the Tap Room vibe, and the cuisine is fantastic! Everyone on the team works incredibly hard!
The Philly steak N chz is another a favorite, and I heartily recommend the pita wraps! Not to add how delicious the Caesar salad with steak or shrimp is!“

“The best comfort food in Greensboro! I ordered the Lemon Meringue pie for my mom and she said it was the best she has ever had!“

“The Elm St. Café has been a favorite lunch spot of mine for Over 20 years. Every dishes is tasty and fresh. I especially like the grilled chicken salad. The chicken is always cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Play your order, and within minutes your food is served. Dine in or take out, you won’t go wrong.“

“At first, I was a little worried about how the service was going to be. The energy was a little awkward walking in. It was late so I figured maybe some of the staff had a long day & I thought no more of it. Our waitress was super sweet! My mother’s food was the last & late to come out but we were too busy entertaining each other to really notice. The manager came over, apologized, & told my Mom that it was on the house which was super unexpected. Everyone’s food was great. We will be back. Thank you.“

“This is an excellent family restaurant. You'll find delicious, fresh food at a great price. The atmosphere is great, and the service is quite good. Consider coming for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You'll love it. We've tried burgers, rib-eye, country-style barbecue, and flounder fish—everything is delicious.“

“Grill Cheese sandwich- $4.50 White sandwich bag- .45 cents. Tax- .35 cents = One grill cheese sandwich to go- $5.30. Or make 10 at home for $4.50 and save the bag and tax. America is in serious trouble. Todd's s not the problem. We are for allowing this to happen. I will never allow anyone to sell me a white sandwich bag for 45 cents again. Cannot afford this place any longer. Sorry for the owners.“

“I thought I would never again taste food like my Aunt Hattie made it, but today a friend took me to University Kitchen for lunch, and I had green beans, stewed cabbage, fried chicken livers, and cornbread. It was like going back in time to my Aunt Hattie's kitchen and once again tasting good old country cooking at its best. They have managed to keep those great vintage recipes alive, and I now have a new favorite restaurant. Everyone who worked there was amiable and on top of service. It was great!“

“What started as a $4.15 Happy Meal on a road trip the day after Christmas, proceeding to hungry and very angry parents late at night after several other restaurants ended up being closed or refusing to serve walk-in customers, ended with a $40 meal and the angel at the Jake’s Diner drive-thru. I don’t actually know what’s on the menu, and honestly, they probably could’ve served Lunchables and I’d have still given them a four star review. Thank you for being open late the night after Christmas, thank you to the nice girl at the window for simply wanted 3 chicken sandwiches and fries, one spicy, and making it happen. The food was great, the service was quick, and you saved our night.“

“Jamill was Gracious, Attentive, Expedient, and Entertaining.

Great customer service, funny, good pours, remembers her customer’s drinks

She makes any place she works feel like home away from home. Which seems magical when all she is doing is making drinks.“

“Rachel and I ate at MJ's Saturday night and it was one of the Best meals that I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Michael Angelo is alive and well and working as a chef at MJ's. There is No Way that this restaurant is a 4.7, its got to be a solid 5. If you want the Best meal that you have ever eaten, try MJ's. You will be glad that you did !“

“Wonderful customer service started at check-in and continued throughout the stay! The Bistro morning staff 3/19 was warm and welcoming! Very clean rooms, close to downtown and interstate. Only took 10 minutes to get downtown all weekend which was nice. Parking was great, you can park on whatever side of the property you are staying on. Would stay again!“

“I had the best burger and fries of my life today. Yummmmm!“
