Which is crucial for many and should be paid closer attention too by us all. This is my only complaint which for some maybe a another reason to patronize. The portion sizes for there entrées is quite large. So much so, we occasionally, just split one entrée and its still plenty. The service was very good the host, waiter, and manager all engaged with us. Also pay at the table with their q code works everytime and quickly.

McDonald's 2211 S Sterling St, Morganton Fast Food • $

“Sometimes you find yourself going through the fast food restaurant that you don't want to go to in your own town. When I went through the drive-thru I was greeted by a voice that I could clearly understand and did not sound impatient or imposing. That being said, they accurately took my order and when I pulled up to the window to pay the prescribed amount, I was greeted cheerfully by an age gentleman who appeared to be teaching someone how the job was done. When I advanced to the next window my food order was quite possibly the hottest. It could be without burning my fingers. The chicken biscuit was actually very tasty and smelled great. I ordered a caramel macchiato and unlike other McDonald's, this came to me, pre-mixed and pre-stored and was a delicious experience. Anytime I'm within 30 miles of this place I will stop and give them another chance to make me happy because they did a great job the first time around. Thanks everyone, I know it's a team effort”

Wendy's 2159 S Sterling St, Morganton Fast Food • $

“This is the best Wendy's in the surrounding area. My family frequents areas from Asheville to Hickory, and this is my go-to Wendy's. While mistakes happen, they do it better than the rest!”

“You can depend on Timberwoods for delicious food all the time, excellent customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is not fancy but it is clean and comfortable. The restaurant business is more than challenging and serving three meals a day adds it own challenges but Timberwoods hold its own and has a wide custromer base. I've never had less than a great experience here.”

China King Buffet A114 Morganton Heights Blvd, Morganton Chinese • $

“We always enjoy the food and variety here. One of the best Chinese buffets and the lunch price is very reasonable. Sadly the oranges were dried out that day, and we had to watch them lose their high rating. But we will still be returning.”

Bojangles 1200 Burkemont Ave, Morganton Chicken Shop • $

“A.I. is a little on the slow side, if you know what I mean, it's not really an issue because the human employees pay attention to you as you are ordering. Pick up any issues that are confusing for the A.I. They are a little too expensive to eat breakfast there everyday.”
