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!”

“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!!!”

Me and my wife are building our house in Blowing Rock and we’re small businesses owners and so I always watch how things are flowing in fellow restaurants. I know as a business owner we get busy and sometimes we tend to not let our employees know how great they’re doing enough Raven S has served us at the bar for the past couple times we’ve been in and that little lady knows what she is doing. I watched her make 5 cocktails back to back so quickly. She’s attentive to all her patrons and jokes around with everyone. I told her to come be my bar manager at our new location coming to Blowing Rock :D This is a great place and I’m glad we checked it out!”

“Came here late in the evening on a Monday and thoroughly enjoyed every bite! The owners of the restaurant are very kind and hardworking no doubt! 100% would recommend to anyone to stop in for their buffet or take one of their meals to-go. Learned about the restaurant by fulfilling a few DoorDasher orders for their customers and stepping into the restaurant each time smelled SO good. My favorites were their spring rolls, honey chicken, and the crab rangoon! Top notch. I'm originally from Las Vegas, Nevada and recently moved to Lenoir. From where I come from, there is China Town and tons of Chinese restaurants. In my honest opinion, this one here in Lenoir is one of the very best I have ever had!!”
