“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“

“This Culvers was extremely impressive. We stopped by for lunch on our way to Asheville. When I say they were busy, that may be an understatement. Line out the door, drive thru lined up, parking lot FULL. Being that we had received a Culver's gift card for christmas, we decided to go ahead and stay. The staff was extremely friendly. We waited about 10 minutes in line to order considering the amount of people. Then only had to wait about 15 minutes for our hot and fresh food to be at our table. I have experienced longer wait times at other Culver's in an environment that was not a fraction of the amount of busy they were. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I want to give props to the crew working. They were on it! Everything was clean, even the drink station! As stated before, very impressed with how this location is ran. Like a smooth sailing ship. Great job guys!“

“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.“

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!“
