“Love eating at Don's Grill the food is good the staff is amazing they always check you to see if you need anything if you have never eaten i recommend anyone to try there food so good keep up the good work Don's Grill.“

“Me and my family ate at Jones tonight and it was very good. We all had flounder filet and I honestly think it was the best I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly and really thick.
The waitress was very nice and really down to earth and kept our cups full the whole visit. The place looks a little rough on the outside but some of it is upgraded on the inside but looks great considering I use to eat here when I was a kid in 1977. Can’t wait to come back and try some shrimp and oysters.
Thank you Jones Fish Camp and staff“

“We appreciate the delicious food and the excellent service!“

“Last visit the food was not hot.“

“First watch is always a great experience. Cait did a fantastic job, I had 2 crazy kids, she even made sure they could have anything they needed. Great food, great people.“

“Food is alright, but what happened to the one little gal named Tara who was a waitress? She was the reason we came in that place. It was better when she was there. Hope she is on vacation and plans to return.“

“First time and we will be back! Very good food, portions and our waitress was great. The manager came around to all the tables which is a great professional look.“

“We happened upon fresh chef and decided to stop and try it. The service was amazing, atmosphere is great, food was AMAZING we had gumbo and shrimp with grits which is something that’s usually hit or miss most places, but they nailed it and we will definitely be back. Shout out to Elaine who was so friendly!!!!“

“Wonderful food! Homemade desserts! Everything is so delicious! We are happy that they stay open later a few days of the week now!“

“Food was good. Little greasy as expected. Only real complaint is how they do things for the drive thru. No one else at screens or window when we ordered/paid, but that’s because they put a sticker on your mirror and you have pull up past the window to park and wait on them to bring it out. Once you pay, there’s 3 lanes. 2 outer lanes to park and wait and a middle for leaving. We sat there for almost 30 mins waiting on 2 plain burger combos. Some people that were there before us, were still there after we left. They come out wandering around confused as they are trying to match the order to the number on your rear view mirror. It was an odd experience and not one I plan to repeat anytime soon. Really shouldn’t take that long for fast food.“

“Our fine dining experience at Willow Creek Inn was absolutely phenomenal. We were celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary, and Chef Mansour Zand made it one of the most memorable evenings we’ve ever had. It feels like stepping into the chef’s own private dining room — an intimate, personal experience set in a beautiful cottage tucked away in the woods. The property itself is stunning, adding to the charm and magic of the evening. We highly recommend trusting Chef Zand completely and allowing him to guide the night. Simply relax, enjoy, and let him create an unforgettable experience.“

“Great service, great food! everything is good“

“Vittles​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ in Lincolnton is truly a delight and can be considered as one of the top dining places in town without much effort. The friendly smiles and the great feeling of southern hospitality that welcomes you in the very moment of your arrival make you feel absolutely comfortable. The surroundings are simple and warm, a nice, neat place that is suitable for the company of a family, friends or even a casual date night.

The food here is excellent to the point where you can hardly say anywhere else. Each meal is done perfectly, bursting with flavor, and it is very obvious that it was made with a loving heart. No matter the bite, you can feel the freshness, whether it is from the meats that are seasoned to the perfection, the sides that are filling, or the desserts that are just right in terms of sweetness and comfort. The amount of food that you get is more than enough, thus making you leave with a full stomach and the prices are even lower than what you would expect for the quality and quantity you get.

What really sets Vittles apart, though, is the service. The employees are extremely friendly and they can do everything to make you feel treasured as a customer. Beverages are filled up without delay, dishes are brought hot and the servers are always around with a smile to check on you. Nowadays, it is very difficult to find a place that does everything perfectly - from serving food and providing service to the atmosphere - but Vittles is one of them.

In case you are a local of Lincolnton or just a visitor, you should definitely stop at Vittles. It is the type of place that makes you remember the good food and nice people that never go out of fashion. I mean, a full five-star ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌mark!“

“Awesome place to eat, I am part of their delivery personal, they have ALWAYS treated me with the upmost respect and they are a down home country kitchen that's for sure, and their honey bun cake is absolutely amazing if you aint been there to get a piece your missing out, it hands down by far the best dessert ive ever eatten“

“I had been wanting to eat at a real country kitchen food, had been in some but haven’t found one that I satisfied.
Today, I found one: this Granny’s Country Kitchen in Claremont, NC
The ambiance was casual, family oriented, and food was very yummy, service by a young, pretty and efficient Cami, the reasonable prices made an amazing lunch!
I told my husband that I wished this restaurant was in our neighborhood.
Highly recommend to those who travel to this part, it’s a must stop for lunch or dinner, besides a great meal, we support the local as well.“

“Great food just make sure you don't park at the old gas station the man that owns that is hateful“

“I can say, maybe just this steakhouse or others in general, if you go at certain hours, you'll get a steak that's not gonna be cooked exactly the way you want it. I can say it's either the cook's or just the time of day you go, between 12 to 3pm, they cook great, but say on a late night or evening weekend, not so much...“

“Best bbq, hush puppies and tartar sauce!“

“Thomas Hammond, manager , great service, GREAT food. Best in North Carolina“

“I have had their breakfast a few times and its always on point. The guy at the drive through window is always so nice. I haven't tried their lunch yet but I know it has to be good. Its great having this place right around the corner from my work. Highly recommend.“

“The owner Augustine and his entire staff are incredible. They're professional and efficient. Love the seafood, lightly breaded. Good ambiance and restrooms are clean.
I love that they give you your drink to go too. All waitresses/waiters are nice. And the menu is easy to navigate with reasonable prices. I will come here for as long as he owns the restaurant! I love the calamari, it's full pieces not just rings. Everything is good on the menu. Neat how they have a drive thru also!“

“Great food, I try to eat at Sharon's atleast once a week. Just wish they were open later than 2:00“

“I absolutely love this place. We eat here a lot. The food is always great. It is close to our home and the staff is wonderful. Even if it was not close to home we would still eat at Mutzies!“

“We just stopped in here while passing through recently and really enjoyed getting a Cook Out burger. We don’t have any where we live now so it was awesome to be able to get a burger while visiting. No place does burgers like Cook Out. We found the staff very friendly and the inside was pretty clean. It is great to see the newer locations more often have dining areas now which is great.“

“Lincolnton Waffle House has the best cook / server ( Kendra ) I highly recommend her !! She was very friendly and checked on us to make sure we was okay and her food was great as well !!“

“Today was my first visit in the cafe after hearing such great things about it! Our waitress Mikayla was wonderful! The cafe was packed - as it was lunch time.. but she kept our drinks filled and kept us updated on our foods time to come out! Food was great and service was 11/10!“

“I'm from the north and I was told you have to go to a waffle House. So I did. I wasn't disappointed. The service was really nice and the food was good at a good price. I see why it's so popular. I had a old school diner feel to it. Which was nice.“

“Our experience was awesome. Elijah our server was great. Honestly one of the best servers we have had it a long time. Our food was perfect and the staff all seemed to be helping each other. Great place to eat if your ever in Hickory NC.“

“We're traveling from West Virginia visiting relatives. This particular Waffle House is right next to our motel. The food was delicious and all of the staff was so nice and friendly.And the service was fast. If we pass through again we will stop in“

“Great service great food We will be back“

“Great staff. great tacos 🌮 and Love karaoke night 🎤“

“Quiet & clean. Staff was attentive & friendly. Food came quickly & as ordered. Food was very good. Highly recommend!“

“Fried pickles were great. Wings were cooked very well but the sauce was weirdly not very flavorful considering it was a thai, mango haberno blend.
Service was friendly and helpful.
The restaurant itself seemed a bit dank and dirty. There was food on the floor and the wall inside our booth. Choice of music was great though!“

“I'm disappointed in the choices of the touch toons selection. A lot of songs that where available are no longer able to play. I really wish that it wasn't controlled by the establishment like kindergarteners at a pg13 movie.“

“Great food and the corn 🌽 on the cob was delicious 😋!“

“The food is always great so I started ordering to go to have lunch while at work The last two times I went I ordered for curbside for them to bring it out on both occasions I ended up having to go inside and there was no one staffed at the to go counter and had to wait there as well. Eating in has always been great they could use an extra hand managing to go and curbside though.“

“Nice to see another cookout with an indoor dining room. Food wise, cookout always has another food item up their sleeve to keep people coming back. Their prices have gone up but are still affordable for the working class, and you get a decent amount of food.“

“My wife and I were traveling with our 3 dogs so we needed to eat outside. It was about 55 degrees and Jewel said she would wait on us outside or we would not have been able to eat there with our dogs. Jewel was not only a great waitress but a great person as well. She was very nice to our barking chihuahuas and us. Thank you.“

“First review I have felt the need to leave. Rude customer to waitress was unbelievably off putting to sit near. Not only chased her down for what seemed unnecessary and rudely speaking, but the man also threw up on the table and left it??! This occurred to the waitress but also was rude to manager when they seemed to make things better and left without cleaning the throw up on the table was the icing on top! Unbelievable treatment to staff when the service was excellent and I cannot believe these people are allowed to dine in. Hoping something gets done about these people, as it is very uncomfortable to be sitting near and a business should not allow this treatment if they care not just about staff but clients!!“
