“I have been coming here for years especially on Thursdays and Fridays!! I will just say I have never had a bad experience while eating here!! The food is good but wanted to brag a little on the waitress Lindsay that seems to always be there when I eat. She is always busy either serving tables or answering that phone but always checks on everyone!!! Is always super nice when she is able to have a 2 min conversation. When she isn’t there I seem to have issues with getting drinks or my order is wrong but that won’t deter me from coming back!!“

“stopped and I got a fish plate it was awesome, while waiting for my food he took out a squash pie out of the oven on the aroma of the steel the cafe I bought one and it was awesome on some ice cream when I got Home!“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Manager, Kelsey(I sure hope I got her name, correct) extremely customer oriented, and she’s professional, yet array of sunshine!\n\nFood it’s always great\n\nWe’ve eaten there many times and have yet to be disappointed\n\nMichael has been our server on several occasions and he is a five star employee for sure!!\n\nHe makes the visit even more enjoyable!“

“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!“

“Fast and friendly service, Tina was an amazing server and catered to our every need. The food was perfectly prepared and very tasty. Incredible atmosphere, and establishment, definitely recommend this location for a visit. You won't regret it! 😁“

“We had a great meal here, was my daughters birthday. Our waiter, Drew, was awesome! He was friendly, funny, even did a few magic tricks for the birthday girl. He made her day special!“

“drove an hour for the fettuccine Alfredo ...best I've ever had“

“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.“

“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 am so happy that my indecisive self decided to give this place a try. I have not been impressed with most of the establishments in the area. My wife and I usually travel to Asheville for good food. On a Sunday there weren’t a lot of options. We decided to give backstreets a try. It’s been years since I ate here and didn’t remember. She got Cajun chicken pasta and I got possibly the best Rueben I’ve had in years. I’d say the pasta is better than Cheesecake Factory. The only negative thing was the judgy couple sitting beside us. However, they cannot control who comes through their doors. The service was excellent and I’m so happy I found a place I am happy with locally.“

“The greatest local bar around. All around good vibes and the best bartenders you could ask for. The folks in the kitchen absolutely rock it too. You won’t be disappointed!! 💓💓💓“

“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.“

“Everyone was very friendly and welcoming including the staff :) Great place to wind down after a long day to just relax and have some fun. Will definitely have to come back in the future!“

“Great waitress, fast delivery of freshly cooked food.“

“My wife and I were in Hickory for the 1st time during the 1st weekend of June. We love exploring breweries when in new towns. We stumbled upon Olde Hickory Brewery and absolutely loved it. The bartender, Jon, asked what we liked and explained all the beers they had, how long they’ve been in business and the restaurants and pub owned by them. He patiently answered all our questions and gave us samples of beers that interested us. We loved Photon Sphere (very interesting brew), The Event Horizon, and all the beers in the Nova series. Jon explained them very accurately. When he had time, he sat with us and talked for a couple of minutes. Before we left town we came back to buy beer to bring home to Alpharetta, GA. To our surprise, Jon remembered our names! Even though the brewery was much busier, we notice he gave the same attention to all the customers. He seemed to truly love talking to people. The beer, Jon, and atmosphere were all great. If you are near Hickory- go there. If we come back we sure will. Thanks, Jon!“

“Great service great food We will be back“

“Fries we’re awesome and food were good but the host(old lady)that sat us first lacked work ethics and more just acted obligated with the routine of sitting people,second she acted like she never saw a white and black couple before.Food was good would have been great to enjoy it without the weird energy and dumb look from the lady who sat us and it’s obvious gossip in the kitchen plays a part in service🤦🏽‍♂“

“great food, live music, and friendly staff“

“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“

“Fabulous calamari, firey cheese balls OMG. Great dinner. Great service. Awesome evening!!!“

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

“My husband and I are “foodies” and we absolutely LOVE the Vintage House in Hickory. We would rank this restaurant as one of the top in NC. Every appetizer, entree, and dessert are delicious and beautifully plated. The atmosphere is upscale without being stuffy. Prices are in line with the food and service received. All staff are excellent, and we particularly appreciate the warm welcome we always receive from Jack. We are very thankful to have such an excellent restaurant in our hometown!“

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

“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“

“So just wanted to say thank you to all the ones who took the time to give me a review and just so everyone knows who the "Girl with the Bun" is I'm Crystal and I'm very blessed to have this job and work with all my amazing customers on a personal level. Thanks again for the 5⭐ reviews“

“Great food and always a good time.“
