“We had a graduation party at Harmon House & everything was perfect! The staff went above & beyond to make our event truly special. The entire process from the planning, to set up & clean up went very smoothly. Highly recommend this venue!”
“Derek and his folks did an outstanding job for our daughters wedding of 200+ people! Derek is a great guy, very accommodating, and we LOVED his food! 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 mother-in-law and I eat at Fitz on Main 2-3 times the three days they are open each week. We love all the food we have eaten here...from the French toast, the Shammy, and omelets to the cheeseburgers, hotdogs, crispy chicken salad and more and can't forget those amazing desserts by Danette. We love the atmosphere, even the closeness and sqeazing by the bar area to get to our table. That closeness is the same you feel from the staff, the friendly faces and regulars you see each week. You leave here filling good every time! Thank you, Fitz, April, Irma, Danette, Holden, and Tiffany and Margie! y'all rock!”
“Used to bake the best house pizzas in Kernersville. Their pizza has changed and it seems to taste like cardboard with a small amount of vegetables. Please bring back the original pizza!”

“I have to come leave a message every time I’m lucky enough to get an item from here! We live about 45 minutes away but my daughter in law works nearby so for all of our birthday she treats us with a cupcake from here. Thankfully my birthday was yesterday so I’m enjoying a delicious birthday cupcake right now! Cupcakes are not an item I ever chose to order or eat HOWEVER, when it comes from here, I can’t resist! Something about the cake/icing flavor combos are unmatched!!!!!! I recommend this place to ANY that is wanting to enjoy a treat, give someone the most perfect gift or buy a bunch to impress the coworkers! You will not go wrong! I can’t say enough! Oh and to top it off customer service is top notch! 🤣🤣”
“Walked in during a hot day in desperate need of a cold beverage. Kyle greeted me, very kind and fixed me a strawberry banana smoothie. So refreshing! Great atmosphere, wonder customer service, fair prices and large drink/snack variety. He accepted Apple Pay, cards, and cash (thank goodness because Apple Pay was all I had!). 10/10 will be coming back”

“Born and raised in NC and never visited EL Palenque. I now live in NewYork and come home once a month just to eat here. 10/10 every single time, from the margs to the homemade hot sauce. I could actually drink it. When they see how much we love it they always send us home with a big container. Thank you Mr. Palenque for gracing us with your food ily🫶🏻♥️”
“Stopped in by chance having past it 2 years ago while driving by. Today we decided to stop in for lunch on our way back to Ohio. Food was great, and great prices for a family of 6! Staff were absolutely fantastic, order came out correct and quickly!!! Highly recommend and we will be back each year! A great way to finish off our vacation.”

“This restaurant used to be our favorite. Since the new owners came, everything has gone down hill. The egg rolls are smaller and filled with more rice than anything else. The fried rice is just tan rice with nothing else added. Any dish that is served with vegetables, now expect the veggies to be served raw - uncooked with a sauce over them. The thinly sliced chicken has a lot of fat and gristle. Even the hot tea (overpriced) has a different taste. The last 2 times I ordered the Egg Fu Yung - I was really sick afterwards. If I ever go back I will just order noodle soup with no vegetables or chicken. The waitresses are very nice but I worry about what goes on in the kitchen. Their sanitary rating is low so the kitchen can't be too clean. There are other Chinese restaurants in the area that we will be trying.”

“The service is decently fast and always very friendly, my only complaint is the French fries are inconsistent with the quality some days perfect fries then the next day the French fries look old, soggy and reheated other than that the building is freshly remodeled and renovated makes it easier to navigate around and order dood”
“This was my second time there and I tried two different item. The biscuit pork chop egg was good the first time. And then the Ultimate breakfast waffle was the second time and that was delicious. Also surprisingly the coffee is good there!”
“This restaurant is family friendly and delicious! The owners are extremely hands on and have amazing customer service! Cannot recommend this place enough!”
“I'll start with this, the lone waitress working on the Sunday we went there was working her tail off. It fairly busy, she was taking calls, cleaning tables, sweeping, delivering food and taking orders like crazy. I don't remember her name but she was fantastic. The cheesesteak sandwich was phenomenal. Probably tied with Elizabeth's for best in the area. The meatball sub was also very good. Cheese bread appetizer was nice with a good crust and warm fluffy bread. The marinara could be a tad thicker. Great parking area. Will definitely return.”

“This place is great. We had a large delivery order and they got one of the pizzas wrong. I called and the person I spoke to was SO nice and they brought us the right pizza and quickly! I grew up in CT, and this pizza is as close at it gets. For people who really like pizza, you will not be disappointed!!!”

“Thank you for having the BEST PLACE TO DANCE and POPPIN DJs! We always have so much fun! Bartenders are fast, drinks are delicious and of course they have a Jennifer Smith and no-one can even get on her level! we are there almost every weekend and never fail to have the best time!”
“I am amazed at the people I encounter on a daily basis. The Kernersville Starbucks has the most beautiful spirit working there and she was awesome sauce on 2 legs! If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself, Gwyn aka “The Mayor” is absolutely amazing! Every Starbucks needs a Gwyn in their store!!!!! @starbucks in Kernersville NC”
“Food is delicious and service is friendly. Unlike a lot of other restaurants, their complimentary chips consist of chicharrones de harina with a spicy salsa. They were addicting and good change of pace. We enjoy everything we ordered, which included the mixed gorditas, chicken flautas, and pupusas. This place is a hidden gem!”
“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.”
“Very friendly atmosphere great service food hot and delicious drinks from the bar made just right prices couldn't be better I would recommend anyone young or old they would enjoy dining at Fridas.”

“I am here in North Carolina helping with my mom, and this food is awesome. I eat several times when I come up. It's a must. Its my favorite place to eat. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. I love the way they treat my mom and truly care about people.”
“We ordered take out and of course it was wrong. We returned our wrong order and these workings kids were playing 'patty-cake" while we watched them and waited for our order the 2nd time. After returning home and eating our order, I then came down with food poisoning. I have dogs that can followed directions better than anyone working in this place.”
“My mom and I went to purchase a MacBook and we went through Kernersville and had never ate at a 5 Guys before and decided to try it out. We both got patty melts and they were DELICIOUS. But the real reason we would go back was the service. There was a black gentleman there and a white lady that made our day with excellent service and were so kind. They need a raise, we’d go back just to see them. Thanks for the recommendation on what we should order, you nailed it and we inhaled it!”
“The food is good with lots of options. The staff is ok. Just seem pretty distracted. On this visit, there were at least 5 tables littered with dishes and trash that had not been cleaned up and stayed that way the entire time we were there. Normally the staff are punctual about cleanup. But today they didn't touch anything”
“I stopped by Zaxbys for the first time in many years. I wasn’t going to review them until I took the first bite. It was very good. I got the Kickin Chicken sandwich. Great flavor. Chicken cooked perfect and it’s a Monday night so I pretty much had the place to myself.”
“I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! The food was amazing, the service was impeccable (Christopher was so friendly and did not miss a beat with the salsa and drink refills). I would venture to say this is probably the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. So glad we stumbled upon it on our way home from vacation. We will definitely make this a regular food stop on our trips to NC!”
“the exciting atmosphere here is fantastic ! the staff (cooks, hosts, ..wait staff) & foods good too. me ham/ Bacon grits ( thick ones) & Eggs. biscuits hot fluffy.”

“We gave Cracker Barrel another try after hearing all the improvements. I will say that nothing has changed. We are still here at the one hour mark from being seated. We still have no food, our coffee cups have been empty most of the time and it wasn't that busy when we got here. I really wanted things to be better. This will be our last visit. I would not be so disappointed if they were just honest about it. When they seat you, they can say hey, our kitchen is about an hour behind and allow you to decide whether that is acceptable.”

“This is a thriving Chic-fil-A. If you want a classic Chic-fil-A experience, come here. This place has the great food you've come to expect from Chic-fil-A. The associates are friendly and helpful. The wait is not long, even during lunch time when everyone is there trying to get some food. I would definitely recommend this Chic-fil-A.”
“Great, great food, can’t stress that enough. It’s a true cook out experience, you’re going to get it in a Togo container, wrapped in foil. It’s cheap but tastes like a pal just served it to you in his backyard. Check them out asap if you live in NC and somehow haven’t!”

“I am new to Kernersville. I decided to get Chick-fil-A for dinner. I was very very pleasant with the workers and the atmosphere. I went through the drive-thru and I was having some troubles with my online order and the app. The worker helping me, specifically the worker with a headscarf was very helpful. She completely understood the problem and assisted me. My order was fresh and I am delighted.”

“The service was top tier! The dinning room / lobby area is very clean & well serviced. Food came out in a timely manner as well - very polite staff and management that go above and beyond to make sure. My boys loved their wings & hamburgers - we will definitely come back to visit! A great addition to have here in kernersville.”
“We stopped at Whataburger for the first time. The burgers were really good. The toppings were fresh and the meat tasted great. The fries were very good with just enough salt. I tried the apple pie because it reminded me of fast-food pies from when I was a kid - and it did not disappoint. Lastly, the staff were friendly and the service was fast. They appear to have hit their stride. We’ll be returning!”
“First time trying the food. The hubby and I got the el big amerimex and queso nachos. The hubby made a honest mistake and said sir to the order taker which I thought was a dude too with their deep voice. When she corrected him he was like I'm so sorry and we both was like our bad and thank-you ma'am. The lady was black with braids. She had a funky attitude at the window and was quiet when he was thanking her and she took the card to pay. Then she handed our drinks and went to the back. I said hope she don't try to do anything to our food because of an honest mistake. She came back with our food all of a sudden happy saying have a good night. Went home and all was good but near the middle of my burger it tasted like they poured a bunch of pepper on my burger and the hubby burger was very salty in the middle. He had to throw some of his burger away. That is very messed up and immature of her if she did something to our burgers because she mad someone made an honest mistake because she sound like bro man from the 5th floor. Cashier name Isabella on the receipt which I assume was her. She in the wrong line of work trifling like that. So beware if you made an honest mistake in calling someone with a deep voice sir. That's messed up. All good. She will reap what she sow. God sees all.
***Update*** Previous 3, now updated 4 Stars. The 1st order November 22nd 2025 and we went back December 13th, 2025 and reordered the same meal. Thankfully after filing the complaint guest services offered a nice voucher for that mishap. This time we noticed that lady was on cleaning duties and new people taking orders. The food was great and this time our burgers wasn't salty nor peppery. We actually got to taste it for how it was supposed to be minus trifling tampering. So we know that lady did tamper with our stuff and I'm glad she's not fixing anyone food or taking orders anymore with that evil spirit. I pray she change and let God heal her from whatever that is causing her to be ugly like that. Because somebody else would had let her had it. But thank God he got us and do way better in fighting our battles.”
“Crumble is pretty good the favors that ive tried are good the only downside is sometimes they are not hot and the chocolate chip one is bitter but overall really good”
