Restaurants near Roaring River

“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.”

“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.”

“Best BBQ place hands down! Owners were amazing. The food was absolutely the best. Can't wait to go back and try the brisket.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Like others have noted, it’s a quaint place - and it is excellent. We had burgers, hot dogs and pancakes, all of which were great. Staff were very friendly and kindly accommodated our party of 6 in a small restaurant. We will definitely be back!”

“Great wine by the Roaring River. Music great and so much fun. Oktoberfest!”

“Jerry's is a excellent place to eat,the people here are so nice,we have recommended it to a lot of people, we come here very often go and enjoy”

“Highly recommend!! Enjoyed eating here! The Philly chicken, cheese with peppers/onions on hoagie bun was delicious! Clean restaurant! Friendly staff! Excellent cook! Will definitely be back!”

“Piccone is such a warm and inviting vineyard! I always have such a wonderful time when I go!”

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

“Don’t skip over this little gem!! The best pork chop sandwich EVER!!!”

“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.”

“This bojangles is the best in wilkes , great service , fast service in drive thru , friendly people in drive thru and dining room, never had a issue here”

“Great prices and wonderful atmosphere!! Salad bar is well worth the trip its self!!!”

“The breakfast is always great.”

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

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !”

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

“Amazing Lobster Roll! Very flavorful and a ton of meat on the sandwich. Great value for the money on all plates on the menu. The shrimp plate is so fresh, just like you get from waterfront restaurants at the beach. The staff and owners are very friendly and make you feel like family.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“Great food and great service!”

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!”

“clean , friendly with great food”
