“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great little home town cafe“

“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.“
