“My friend and I decided to make the trip up to Wilkesboro from Taylorsville today to get a change of scenery and some lunch. We stumbled across Cinder Bistro from their good reviews. We were not disappointed!! From the minute we stepped in the door, the service was top notch. The place has a great rustic ambiance, and is big and nice and clean. I had the brisket quesadilla with collard greens and my buddy had the spring harvest salad with grilled chicken. My food was slammin'!!! The brisket in the quesadilla was different, but was really, really, really good! The collard greens were hand cut and trimmed, and delicious! Not those precut out of the bag collards with the stem pieces. My friend said his salad was one of the best salads he has ever had in his life and would drive there from Charlotte to get it again any time. Lol. Needless to say, from the A1 service, ambiance, and food, Cinder Bistro was a hit! The drive up there was beautiful too! Can't wait to go back.“

“I love this place! And the people! I enjoy my conversation with Jo and Stacey! They always make my visit pleasant! I LOVE THE COFFEE! Best in town if you haven’t tried it you need to!“

“Always a great date night option. Food is always great.“

“I am a longtime customer of Hadley’s. I have been eating there for over 40 years. After the restaurant was sold and closed for a period of time, I really missed the food there. When it reopened, I initially did not return but in the last few months, I have returned found the food is great, much as it always was. They have three waitresses who are awesome. These ladies work together and when food comes out either one of these ladies will get your food and bring it to you. They know how to work together. They often have to bus tables and even have to wash dishes because Hadley’s seems to have trouble keeping a dishwasher. But they do an awesome job waiting tables. The food is still very good with chicken and dumplings my favorite. Chicken tenders, pintos, slaw, country style steak are all very good. Hot dogs and hamburgers are great and fries are hot and crisp. Great cornbread too. I visit at least once a week and the food is great and service is consistently great.“

“first time there was today and it was quite delicious...pizza was great, wings even better...the sweet chili sauce for wings was best I've had“

“The food was great ! The waitress was friendly and courteous! Our first time visiting but won’t be our last! Almost on the Lake won’t disappoint !“

“Love this place, it's one of my defaults. It's exactly what I expect every time with little variation. There is one waitress who has kind of a crappy attitude but the rest of them are lovely. Typically clean, and if it isn't, it will be. Restrooms typically clean and stocked.“

“I tried the fish sandwich today and it was great. Very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The tartar sauce was excellent! Dad had a cheeseburger and said it was delicious, too. The burgers are made fresh. Both buns were toasted nicely. Tonya was very nice and attentive. Prices are fair, food is good, service is wonderful.“

“The food was very good. Large portions and well priced compared to other takeout restaurants. I do recommend placing the other ahead of time. You don't pay until your order is ready.

Make sure to grab a menu and circle what you want so it's easier for them to let the chef know what to make, since everything is made fresh to order.
Lunch and dinner peak hours are very busy and there is only 1 lady taking orders, busing and checking people out. So please be patient with her.
Our food was out in 15-20min.
We ate inside and still had leftovers for the next day. Definitely recommend!
We got, sweet and sour chicken with rice, chicken lo mein, orange chicken, chicken wings with rice and extra egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. Please get that sweet and sour and shrimp sauce on the side it's so good you'd want to dip everything in it lol sorry all the food was not pictured.“

“I have been going to Cagney’s since they opened and they have always been super nice and the food is great at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.“

“Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Applebee’s, and it was nothing short of a delightful surprise. While Applebee’s is often thought of as a casual neighborhood grill, my experience felt elevated—almost like a fine dining evening hidden in plain sight.From the moment I stepped inside, the warm glow of the restaurant’s ambient lighting created a cozy yet inviting atmosphere. The evening crowd gave it an energetic vibe without being overwhelming, striking that perfect balance between lively and relaxed. The music played softly in the background, setting a comfortable tone for the night.The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer excellent recommendations. Water glasses were refilled promptly, and plates were cleared with a fine-dining level of discretion. I highly recommend this location with amazing management.“

“Ate at the Wilkesboro location Sunday and other than a loud bar guest it was wonderful! Bartender and wait staff polite and efficient. Bar staff did indicate the bar guest In question has the reputation of complaining. Highly recommend Dodge City!“
