“The best burger I have ever eaten! The Philly Smash is the best of both worlds, juicy burger topped with cheesy shaved steak and peppers. The customer service was spectacular! The staff was courteous and very friendly, they went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and appreciated as a customer. I cannot wait to dine at Red's Smoked and Smashed again and next time I will be taking my entire family!”

I ordered the Bento Box w/Steak and ordered Shrimp Tempura Sushi. Everything was cooked to order so it was hot when brought out and in a timely manner and was absolutely delicious. Will not be my last time, and I recommend this place.”

“today we got charged extra for 11 with some change on a texas cheesesteak, and honestly i can’t say if it was my fault or not but it should of been 3 less since we asked for grits instead of hash browns and the cheesesteak is 6 and grits 3.25 would of been 10 with some change or less, but something was just off we usually get charged 26 for the same order everytime we go and this time was more so we deducted of the waitress not because we were mean but because by the way i judged it’s what was right she added to the order something no other servant had so we subtract from the tip which is typically 6 dollars what we leave i mean we’re not rich or even middle class but we consider and understand the hard working they are so we left 2 bucks it hurts to leave that but it was the only thing that we could do, i’m leaving a 4 star for the other great times we’ve spent here and experiences maybe today just wasn’t the day for corrections and it’s understandable”

“My first time visiting Jay's Country Kitchen, and I was EXTREMELY pleased. The waitress, Liz, was SO nice and VERY efficient!Even though they were steadily busy, our orders came out quickly. Eggs, bacon, 2 omelettes, pancakes, grits, toast (no biscuits), and coffee; everything was cooked to order and correct the first time.This is a gem of a place... Come as you are, and stay awhile OR call ahead for pick up (no drive thru) and head back out, easy peasy! They also offer a great lunch menu (which I look forward to trying in the near future), and everything is VERY reasonably priced!!CLOSED Sunday and Monday.6 am- 2 pm Tuesday - Saturday.Parking in the front and both sides of the establishment.Check them out.. I highly doubt you will be sorry you did!”

All the wait staff is very friendly and work hard to make sure your dining experience is good. Their service is top notch. We have never had a bad experience at Thomas Pizza.

“Why does it look like a storage facility inside? One line of tables down middle with junk to sell on them. Drinks stacked beside the wall. Or machine that are unplugged. Does not have a rest room, isn’t that illegal? It had one down the hall when it had a dining area in it , I’ve used it. Now the hall is boarded up. COVID IS OVER, make it a place to eat if a resent place to walk in or close. How bad at business do you have to be to realize your restaurant looks like a back door drug deal.”

“I can’t believe I found such authentic Chinese food in this small town! Even though the menu leans toward American Chinese cuisine, the dishes still retain the flavors of traditional Chinese cooking. The beef is expertly prepared in advance, which really shows their dedication to quality. It’s clear they put a lot of heart into running this cozy little restaurant. Highly recommended!”

“Bojangles has the best fried chicken these days.
This place did not disappoint. Fresh hot chicken, fluffy biscuits, and many choices for your side.
People are friendly and the place was clean and bright.
I didn’t take pictures of the meal this time. But it compared with any other bojangles we have been during our travels.”

“Honestly, I have low expectations of most Golden Corrals. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service at this one.
The food was hit or miss. The price was very inexpensive, I think less than $15 per person. One major issue I had was that the plates were not being dried after being washed: I don’t want to put my food on a wet plate.
Overall, a pretty positive stop on a long road trip.”

“Simple menu, very good prices, friendly folks, and good eats.
Quaint atmosphere where you can tell they care about serving quality food and making you feel welcome.
If you get hung up on needing brand new booths and fancy dishes, this isn't the place for you. But if you want a good plate of food at a very reasonable price, then you can't go wrong. Will go again if we are passing through Lumberton any time soon.”

I have however seen where they believe the phone was hung up and did not check the line which may have happened when you called but I will however make sure to address this issue! Thanks for the heads up and please feel free to email to [email protected] if you have any further concerns!”

“I absolutely LOVE checkers!!!! The chicken was piping hot, the fries were salted just enough and those apple pies were on point with the cinnamon sugar 😋 The drive thru person said her name was Lexi, she was so sweet to me, tried her best to get all my money 🤣 She even gave me a few coupons for the week. Checkers will definitely be my first choice for lunch on Mondays.”

“I ordered a double cheeseburger which definitely had a charred bbq taste and was just what I was in the mood for. This was my first time exploring a Cook Out location, so I was surprised it was a drive thru only, but more odd was there were two lines to put your order and the pick up windows crossed each other which was confusing.”

“We were on a road trip and had a McCraving. I googled McDonald's near me and picked the one on Fayetteville Rd. It was not the closest nor the best reviewed but you should always go with your gut and mine said this was the one. The drive to was peaceful for 6pm on a Friday. They had grade A curb appeal. We went through the drive thru and Cameron took our order. Or at least he tried. I of course was trying to order something off menu and he tried his very hardest to see if they offered it. He was so patient with me and polite. The drive thru line went so fast that I almost didn't have my method of payment ready. They were speedy and so polite and pleasant that it was easy to forgive the fact that I didn't get extra pickles. If I'm that way again I will definitely stop there every time. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.”
