Really disappointing experience. There was 1 employee who wasn't cursing up a storm and complaining that the owner is an idiot. He was courteous and well mannered. But then I saw him sitting on the counter at one of the kitchen stations. An inspector would lose their mind if they saw that. Also the prices on the menu were incorrect? Weird. I've got two kids, they were not with me today but I am afraid to bring them around all the cursing. I'm not a helicopter dad, but that amount of cursing was crazy.

The bar area is good and the friendly bartender. The 2 tv’s are stuck on screensavers mode until the owner changes them to some random CSI or game show on a Friday night. The assortment of beer had a good selection.The food and service at John’s Grill is terrible and lacking to say the least! We have been there a total of 3 times over a 3 month period…the 1st time the fries were cold and asked to be remade with pushback from the high schoolers working the grill. The 2nd time our food took over 30 min to get with only 3 other diners. The 3rd and last time we ordered burgers and fries again… 20 minutes later, I went to check to see if it was complete and was told it was still being made with again, only four other diners eating their food. 35 minutes went by, and I went to the highschoolers manning the kitchen, and was told that my food was taken out to the bar area and they called my name which someone else apparently claimed. There were five people total in the bar area, and I was sitting at the bar and did not hear my name only saw 2 to go containers brought out in a plastic bag. I also raised concern to the bartender, and she approached the people that received said food, and they claimed they only had hotdogs. I proceeded back to the kitchen where I received a full refund for the food minus the 20% tip that I gave.Do better first brew!I forgot to add…there was a couple behind me at the food counter and the same thing happened to them.

Being attached to a taproom is a plus! Also being open on a Sunday is a mega plus.I don’t get to come visit Wayne county that often but normally it’s on a Sunday. All the other interesting dine-ins are closed. Now I know where I can go when I come visit family/friends

I absolutely love coming here to eat with my family. The kids really enjoy the chicken fingers as well as the fries. We've been coming here all summer and we love it however we see the blonde girl standing outside holding the sign in the blazing heat and I always feel bad. I just don't think it's the right thing to have a child standing in the sun for that long. I would definitely change this for future reference.

Be careful getting in the parking lot. Ripped mu bumper off DOT did not do a good job with that curbing
Place was clean. Wait time reasonable. Fries were hot but much too

I Love this bar! No need to say more. Now we have steak and potato night on Thursdays. Pikeville is the not so hidden gem in Wayne county, and Johns Grill and First Brew are its standard bearers.

The food is fine but maybe yall should have more then 4 15 year olds in the kitchen. They're either flirting with eachother, on the phone or standing around. I have been waiting 45 minutes for a chicken sandwich. I could have went to Goldsboro and back by now. This is ridiculous

I don't usually eat burgers but the Dutton burger is really good. The fact that they have funnel cakes is just crazy awesome...and they're delicious!!!
