Too greasy of food. Not the cleanest atmosphere or tables.

Place is clean. Staff very friendly. Sweet tea was delicious. But the BBQ? Not so great

I’ve been coming here every time I visit my dad with my husband and daughter, but this last visit was very disappointing.

We arrived around 3 PM and were greeted by a friendly waitress who took great care of us. My dad and I ordered the BBQ ribs, my husband got the fish sandwich, and my daughter ordered mac and cheese.

The food came out quickly, but the ribs looked and tasted old, as if they’d been reheated. My husband said his fish sandwich was bland with very little fish, and my dad’s coleslaw was sour like it had gone bad. I tried the ribs myself, and after two bites, I had to rush to the restroom to throw up (I’m 7 months pregnant). The bathrooms were also dirty, with no toilet paper in my stall and an unflushed toilet I flushed them myself and pushed the paper towel trash down for them.

The fried squash I ordered was soggy and oily, though the fried okra my dad got was decent. The coffee was old (the waitress admitted it was from that morning), but she did keep the sweet tea refilled.

When we returned the ribs, a German cockroach ran across our table toward the food my daughter dropped. (My dad said I should have took a photo of the roach before I flicked it but I panicked) Shortly after, the chef came out defensively explaining how they “pre-broil” their ribs before reheating them to serve, but they still tasted spoiled and asking where we are from making it seem a little offensive. He eventually took them off the bill, and we only paid for the kids’ meal, the fish sandwich and the drinks. Crazy how a BBQ RESTAURANT can’t get a bbq meal right. 😭

But the waitress was the best part of our visit, but unfortunately, everything else was a nightmare. We won’t be returning.

Ps- if you want to experience an episode of kitchen nightmares I’d say go here.

Worst hot dog I ever had. I ordered all the way and husband ordered without chile. Husband got all the way. Bun tasted old and fell apart and hot dog was cold and tasted like it had a fish taste. Under new management do better.

I waited 5 minutes for fork and my food was cold as waitress was grabbing my plate telling me she will box it up so pretty much kicking us out very rude first and last time for my family

Wait staff can't seem to put their phones down and help customers. Won't be back. With what food cost and everyone expecting a minimum 18% tip that's unacceptable.

We’ve been eating here for years. The new management is doing a fantastic job. Servers are great and the food is delicious. Also, we always find a smile on the cashier’s face that checks us out! Everyone is so friendly! Thank you for all that ya’ll do!

This place even with new management struggles. Went in and half the tables have food on them not being cleaned and people standing around. Neither waitress standing wants to take our order. One yells across dining area “I thought you were taking them” as if we were an inconvenience. As we are going to place our breakfast order we were told that they have no biscuits. This is a problem since all of my kids only eat the biscuit and gravy. We tried to give them a chance under this new management but it just doesn’t seem to matter who runs this place. As we are going to pay for our drinks so we can leave the floor is so sticky it is making a disgusting sound sticking to our shoes. Go get breakfast at East Rowan cafe. They are always busy but delicious.

Delicious seafood. We had baby flounder, shrimp, oysters. Cooked perfectly.

We loved going here since the new owners! (Beth and Haley) They were real busy but we were taken care of and didn’t wait for too long! Will definitely be returning!

They have the sorriest crappiest food and service in any restaurant I've ever eaten at, they truly could give a s*** less about the customers or the quality of food they should not be there they simply seriously 100% suck
