“If you're a fan of classic comfort food, BrightStar is an absolute must-visit. Their burgers are simply outstanding—perfectly cooked with a juicy, flavorful patty that's always fresh and topped with just the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth cheese. The buns are soft and toasted to perfection, holding everything together while adding a nice little crunch.

But the real star of the show? The cheese tots. Crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, they’re smothered in a rich, cheesy goodness that makes every bite a little bit of heaven. It's the kind of side dish that could easily steal the spotlight from the burger, but together, they create the ultimate meal.

If you're in the mood for some seriously satisfying food, BrightStar delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Cash only, which is kind of strange in 2026, but, this place is real deal. Big portions. Pork is the specialty. Sauces are amazing, but you don't really need them with the ribs. Ribs are GOD SENT! The pulled pork, not as tasty as the ribs, but better than most pulled pork I've had in the area. Go during off hours, line is frequent.“

“Visiting Greenville recently, we had an excellent experience at Logan’s . It was Friday evening. We were seated quickly and they took initial drink and appetizer orders shortly after. They also provided a huge basket of delicious rolls. I gave the service 5stars because they stopped by frequently, but not enough to be intrusive. They took our order, and brought the check very timely, and refilled drinks without being asked. They did not offer information regarding the menu., but I did not deduct. The atmosphere was fine, no complaints, just typical steak house., similar to chain restaurants. During our trip it was relaxing and quiet. Parking and access were not an issue. The menu and food is very similar to Texas Roadhouse. Everyone’s meal was well prepared. At the TR in our area it tends to be somewhat hit or miss. The steak was truly med as requested, and the ribs were juicy and flavorful for me., although another person in our party was less impressed - not bad, but they might be on the bland side for some. The salad was unremarkable. So I did take one star off on food - very good, but not outstanding for all items. Could be 4.5. Also considering value, portions were good size, but the food prices were similar to TR in a higher cost area. There is a kids menu but I did not pay enough attention to comment on it. Based on our experience I definitely recommend Logan’s if you are looking for a no-hassles steak house meal with very good food and excellent service.“

“This was my first visit to the Raleigh location on May 28, 2025 with two out of town guests. three diff dishes were ordered..brisket, St. Louis rubbed ribs and burnt ends. The brisket and burnt ends were amazing. The ribs however were dry and tough. The meat certainly did not fall off the bone. I would not recommend the ribs based on this experience.“
