“I previously ate here before, food was 10/10. I chose delivery this time, I will say that my delivery driver took a bit longer, so next time I will not order okra for delivery. It was soft and mushy and cold by the time it arrived. I also feel as if the funnel bites should be sprinkled prior to sending them out for delivery. But I still recommend Alli’s cafe.“

“Great food. I really enjoyed the tomato basil soup. My husband liked his ribeye. Drinks were ok. Disappointed that a 20% gratuity was included on our bill when we received it. I prefer to reward service on my own rather than have it forced on me. So although we enjoyed it, we likely won’t be back. Sorry.“

“Pleasant City Grill is a good spot in historic Shelby. In fact, it’s one of the only good spots in that area to eat.

The menu is standard bar and grill food done well. The Jalapeño Cheese Dip with Pretzel bites is a great app to start a meal. From there try any of the Burgers, the Ribeye Philly, Club Sandwich or the Wood Fired Ribeye.

There’s plenty of street parking in the square and service is always quick and consistent. There’s tables on the sidewalk if you have a pet or just want to eat outside.“

“Wow! What a great hamburger. I have paid $15 for burgers that were not as good. It was cooked up fresh after I ordered it and was delicious. I could tell it is good quality hamburger meat. The fries were good also, they were large crinkle cut fries .And they were fried up fresh.. A friend told me about the lemonade and I tried it. It’s the best around and I even got a free refill. I love this place..A restaurant doesn’t have to be complicated to serve great food.“

“I've been to dozens of breweries over the years, some are good, some are lame... This place is AMAZING!! The Belgian Tripple is on point, and I've been to Belgium and had those beers. They have a great ESB and Sangria. The chicken tenders (sweet chili sauce) were out of this world good!! There is ample seating, dining room, upstairs and outside. The music is good, and at the right volume so you can still have a conversation. This place is a gem!!“

“There's always something there I like to eat. Fried chicken(was hoping for some chicken livers),pot roast, fried fish and shrimp, but it's hard to enjoy steak if there are no knives to cut it with. Those paper packets restaurants put utensils in are a useless waste and likely cause some of those utensils disappearances.“

“We've started making it a point to eat out here in Shelby, NC at least 3 - 4 times a week. The main reason is to spend more quality time together, but we decided to take in a good meal as well. We both agreed that the waitress we had was by far the best ever. The food and drinks were excellent and it wasn't very crowded because of the time, so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend a visit!!!“
