“Desmond us an AMAZING bartender. The food and drinks are great, and price is right. Thanks for the AWESOME time!“

“Food was good, I want to try a few other things! The mac n cheese was SO good & the chicken tenders were great. The grilled chicken & steak in our salads were not amazing but it's the meat of a salad so not much to look for there.
Waiter was super nice & surprised our son with free dessert!“

“Texas Roadhouse never disappoints. No matter which location I visit, the quality stays consistently impressive. The meals are flavorful, portions are generous, and the service always feels friendly and attentive. The value for the price truly stands out. Even though I usually skip alcoholic drinks, one option on the cocktail menu caught my eye and turned out to be incredibly refreshing on a very hot day. Pairing it with a perfectly cooked steak made the whole visit even better. I walked out satisfied and smiling, already looking forward to the next visit.“

“Sweet Lew's did not disappoint. While visiting my BFF, I decided this trip I wanted N.C Barbecue. After searching & comparing reviews we decided to try Sweet Lew's and it did not disappoint. We both had "The Sampler." I'm not a beef eater. Although, I found the brisket a tad bit dry, when drizzled with Sweet Lew's Brisket Sauce it made it enjoyable. The ribs were juicy and cooked to perfection. I tried my friends Red Coleslaw, not knowing what to expect, was the bomb. The meat was dry-rubbed with sides of Barbecue Sauce, which were vinegar base, but not overwhelming so. Overall, we really enjoyed our meals, so much that I purchased a chicken dinner to go for the next day and look forward to returning.“

“Andy isn’t Korean What if lil uzi lost his hoodie Best Ching wings I always give good tip to Andy;)“

“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“

“If heaven had a smokehouse, it would definitely be Mac’s Speed Shop. First of all, the brisket? So tender I’m convinced it went to therapy and resolved all its issues before hitting the plate. The ribs? Fell off the bone like they were tired of working. And don’t get me started on the mac and cheese—it’s so good I almost proposed to it. I highly recommend checking out Mac’s Speed Shop.“

“This is HANDS-DOWN THE BEST BBQ AROUND!!! Perfect bark on the pulled pork and smokey flavor. Great chicken, amazing brisket and the most tender, delicious fall off the bone ribs you will find. When I lived closer I would go 3-4 times per week and would literally have dreams about the bbq because the smoke smell would be in my hair and id be smelling it on my pillow as i sleep. I’d wake up craving the stuff 🤣 I even had them cater my wedding! Great pricing!!! This is not only the BEST BBQ around, these guys are just truly awesome people and a family business. Give them a try, your mouth will water for days 😎“

“Towne Tavern is our favorite local watering hole! The staff are super friendly and make the place, especially Amanda and Andie. The daily specials and bingo/music bingo give something fun to do. I work from home so getting out of the house for fun and hanging out with the locals is what it’s all about. We’ve been coming to the place for a while and think the food has been so much better under new management. Definitely check it out if you haven’t been!“

“This is the Cookout I have been going to for over a year and a half now. Most of the time, they get everything right. They are human and make mistakes sometimes, buy they do make it right if they forget something. It's always hot and fresh and its pretty cheap to feed full a grown man who eats a ton and myself for less than $25. The chicken ranch wraps could use a little more ranch in myopinion but I always put a little more on it when I get home. They can also give you a ranch cup to put on it. The quesadillas are pretty good too. Sweet tea is always delicious. Thank you for being the best cookout guys!“
