Restaurants in Lenoir

“Absolutely could not say enough great things about JD’s! A few weeks before my wedding, we had multiple catering options fall through. JD’s saved the day, making food to feed my almost 100 people guest list. It was ready on time for pickup. Food was hot, delicious, & fairly priced. Best bbq in town, we’ll definitely be back!”

“The food The prices The friendly staff The CLEAN rest rooms This above list can be taken in any order, all GREAT :>)”

“My husband and I drove all the way from Charlotte for a taste of Chicago style pizza. We were not disappointed! So delicious and the sauce is amazing! Thank you Piccolos!”

“Based on the great reviews, my husband and I went to Mi Molcajete. Let me say, we were not disappointed. Our server, Maria, was excellent and super sweet. Personally, I love a good margarita. Well, I got a great one. Our meal was excellent. The menu is extensive so lots to choose from. We will definitely be back!!!”

“The best of caldwell county.”

“One of the best maintained Ruby Tuesday's that i have visited. The restaurant was very clean. We felt very welcomed from the time we entered the building until we finished our meal and left. Salad bar was clean and full of yummy fixings. My steak was cooked to perfection! Our server was extremely courteous and kept our drinks filled. Looking forward to our next visit. Keep up the Great Work!!!!”

“I really love this place and will definitely be back again. The atmosphere is great, and it’s such a fun brewery to hang out at. The only thing that was a little confusing was figuring out how everything worked when we first walked in. There wasn’t much direction, so it took a minute to realize you find your own table and order both drinks and food at the bar, with no table service. Totally fine once you know the setup — I just think a little signage or quick explanation upfront would make the experience even smoother for first-time visitors.”

“Food is cooked fresh! There’s something for everyone here because there’s so much to choose from. They have shakes and banana splits too! The place is super clean and the staff is very helpful.”

“Talk about such an amazing dinner! Curtis and his crew did such a wonderful job at my wedding. The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone got To-go plates and there was nothing left…Even my picky eaters enjoyed it. so now I’ve convinced my husband we have to go atleast once a week. Definitely check out the Mac and cheese! And check out his daughter’s cake business.. talk about the most moist and delicious cake around!”

“MY GOODNESS this food/sandwiches are SO GOOD! One of the top 5 best sandwiches I've ever had in my 40 years of life. I shop at the Hispanic shop beside this store all the time and see this place closed all the time due to their limited hours of operation. So I decided to set an alarm on my phone to make sure I visited while they were open and I'm SO GLAD I did! Well worth going out of my way to make it here! The bread is insanely delicious and fluffy! I have no idea how they do it! And the meats they use for the sandwiches is delicious too! My wife also got a fried pie and she loves it! I couldn't recommend this place enough!”

“Great food & Great service!!”

“Love the food! Great place!”

“We stopped in today after several years and enjoyed a calzone (definitely enough for 2 maybe 3) and a mushroom Swiss burger. We will definitely start going back again. Great food and drive.”

“We found this little gem of a restaurant while attending a dance competition at JE Broyhill Civic Center. For such a small place they have a BIG menu. The service was amazing and so was the food! I will definitely be coming back!! Thanks for a great meal and friendly ppl. 5☆☆☆☆☆”

“It's funny; after reading pros and cons, I had a hard time with the cons. We have regularly gone to TCBY for all our 5 years here in Lenoir, and NEVER had a bad experience. The dialogue with the employees, especially the managers has always been pleasant and the sundaes, yogurt in the cups or cones always yummy. I love to pick up frozen drinks and take to my hairdresser or other friends as a gift. I also love to get gift cards. I will pick or select this place over a zillion other places. My favorites are any GF yogurt or ice cream with strawberries, minced nuts, fudge, and whipped cream, strawberries and cream shake, and fruitty smoothie. YOU ARE the BEST!!!”

“The Flour Shoppe of Lenoir is an amazing business! I reached out to the owner last week about purchasing cookies and frosting for a class project that I was doing this week. Not only did the owner reach back out and get what I needed, but they went above and beyond and supplied extra things that I would need (saving me a trip to Walmart). The owner and her family are great people and I am so happy we have this bakery in our local area.”

Dine in their clean location or take out at no extra charge.

Location has easy access with parking at the door. Lunch specials save you from 11am-3 pm.

I just had General Taos Chicken without spice and it was amazing. One dinner entree made for two filling meals. Delicious egg rolls and the best Fried Wontons in the county are served up here.”

“My family and I love this restaurant! Always fresh and piping hot at pick up and the ladies at the counter always make my son smile. 💕 We've dined inside a few times as well and it's always been clean and the portions are AMAZING. Best bang for your buck in Caldwell County.”

“Delicious!!! And at a great price point!”

“I can’t not express this enough…. You have to try this food truck! It’s amazing! They go between Lenoir and Boone so make sure you follow their page. They specialize in ACP (arroz con pollo) burritos and they rock it! 10/10 ⭐️ will tell everyone!”

“Best village inn pizza around here. They keep the buffet clean and full. They keep the tables cleaned off and dishes rounded up. I do have one issue though. The pizza buffet is kind of in a bad place inside the restaurant. It’s hard to get your pizza for people paying and trying to get their drinks.”

“I had a great experience at today! I cannot remember the lady’s name, but I told her that it’s crazy, but I had never been to chipotle before ever (as a 30 year old). She was so sweet and help explained everything to me and seemed very patient (honestly hard to be with the general public). I had a great and filling bowl and was happy with how much was included in my order. I’ll definitely be visiting my local chipotle 5 min down the road from me now- because of her!”

“Food was delicious, Service was great, Apparently our $5.00 tip wasn’t enough,, Waitress shouted at us going out the door asking for more ? So we gave her $5.00 more dollars. Hopefully she made rent or light bill !”

“Stop by around 1030 am Wanted breakfast Very Friendly people Waitress& My food was Excellent! I give a 5 Start!”

“Been eating here since I was a kid, food is pretty good, but is it just me or are the prices insane for what you're getting now? It didn't use to cost a whole family $60 to eat but now it does, and what happened to the homemade gravy? Why would they take that away? Gravy is a staple in the south and they are using store-bought? Nuh-uh unacceptable”

“absolutely love the authenticity of the food and good prices too!”

“Ate @ jasmines 2-2-23 ordered S&S CHICK. JENERAL SOS CHICK & CHIC FRYED RICE. DINED IN. FRIENDLY! CHIC FRYED RICE HAD CHIC PCS. IN IT! AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMEND! ?”

“My grandson and his wife took me there because they knew that Longhorn has long been my favorite Steakhouse. I was really disappointed with my steak. I ordered it medium rare. It was so tough I couldn’t chew it. I tried 2 bites and could not get I chewed enough to swallow. The salad and the side was good. If they can get a cook that can get steak cooked right, I think they will be a big success. other entrees seemed to be enjoyed. Thank you”

“I could’ve made two meals out of the wonderful meal that I ate too quickly to take a picture of. The eggs weren’t quite right they made them perfect. The only issue I had was that I found the table and the hot sauce sticky.”

“I was in the mood last night for a grilled chicken salad but I wanted it flavored with the lemon pepper seasoning. It was absolutely amazing and I got tue ranch f9r the dressing. I would absolutely get it again..”

“Arby's white cheddar mac & cheese is back! Since it's available only for a limited time, I had to get some of that yummy goodness today. The Lenoir restaurant felt like it did not have any heat in the building this afternoon (12/12/25) so the warm mac & cheese hit the spot!”
