“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“Brenda is a great cook and a great person! Burgers are delicious. Not enough people know about this restaurant. That's the only problem with it! It's cute and quaint on the inside. Takeout orders have always been pleasing to me and my family.”

“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.”

“All around great place to go for music , pool and food always have a great time”

“The absolute best smoked meat. You can smell it driving down the road. Service is phenomenal and Chad, our server, was the absolute man. Props to be able to accommodate to my little one’s food allergies. Will never come to this area and NOT come here.”

“I tasted 4 reds and a rose. I believe it was $19 For the tasting flight. My two favorites were the Red Barn blend and they did an excellent job with it. Next, the Barbera is smooth but full of flavor. The rose - I wish I bought two bottles instead of one. I was able to enjoy myself since they allowed my dog and even gave her a dog biscuit. Great relaxed atmosphere! Big iced-water cooler with cups near the back was a thoughtful touch. It’s wineries like this that you appreciate and hope to return to taste the next harvest.”

“Great food and prices! People are so sweet and friendly. I had the chicken pot pie with green beans and baked beans as my side. My hubby had the pulled pork plate with collard greens and homemade chips. Very good food! When we fly in to NC again, we will come back!”

“Great little home town cafe”

“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.”

“My Mama passed away from Covid three years ago in November. She always baked me a pineapple cake for my birthday, and also just because I was craving it many times. I haven't been able to find anything close to the way hers tasted. Today is my birthday and my husband ordered me a pineapple cake from Bon Bon's. He said he ordered it late, but after hearing why he wanted it so badly they made sure I had a pineapple cake for my birthday today. I cried because it tasted just like my Mama's, and it absolutely made my day. Everyone was bragging on how wonderful it tasted, but no one could have enjoyed it anymore than I did because I felt like Mama was hugging me from Heaven. Thank you so much. I highly recommend Bon Bon's. They are wonderful!”

“6-24-22

Busy place. Parking was tough but we managed after a few minutes. Seated immediately.

Our server was outstanding and our food came out super quick. Awesome. Home run here.

I got the Smokehouse Platter (18.99). This comes with all the meats of pulled BBQ, sliced tenderloin, smoked chicken, and 5 ribs. I did the okra for a 1.99 upcharge. The puppies came with the meal. Breakdown:

Pulled BBQ: Moist and tender. The vinegar sauce was needed and a good addition.

Sliced tenderloins: Holy heaven on earth, Batman! Tender. Moist. Awesome flavor with the sauce. By far the best part of the plate. The slightly crunchy edges do it for me!

Chicken: Moist but needed something else for flavor. Bland perhaps. The meat itself was a good cut and cooked perfectly.

Ribs: Torn on these. Very lean and fell off the bone nicely. This part was excellent. Somewhat bland and needed some more sauce for my liking. But cooked perfectly. I did the vinegar sauce on the table to give it more flavor. Almost! This could potentially be a game changer with some more sauce.

Okra: 1.99 upcharge but a great version.

Puppies: Freaking awesome. I wanted more of these. The best version I can remember having.

Their ice cream made Our State Magazine at one point. I did a Red Velvet milkshake and this was heaven. Yes yes yes. Well priced at 3.99 and this was a great value for how fantastic it was. Simply outstanding. Get the whipped cream for added consistency. You can mix ice cream flavors to make a concoction but it would take parting the Red Sea for me to not get this. Wow!

I mentioned the quick turnaround for food and friendly service. Thought the upcharge of 1.99 for one side was a tad too much. Mostly good but potentially great. Worth a look!”

“Wonderful Central American food, fair prices, and such friendly staff!! My husband and I will definitely be returning many times! If you have not been to try Pupuseria y Taqueria Eben-Ezer yet, just do it! You will not regret it!”
