“Don't miss your opportunity when you get it!! Food was fantastic! I had crab legs. Service was top notch, noting a loving unity among staff to just handle business!! Atmosphere was like a breathe of fresh air to be able to sit back, relax, enjoy and be yourself! Smile again!! Thank you, Shuckin' Shack! I'll be back!+!+”

“We had the steak bites, lobster cocktail, cheese charcuterie, potatoes, bread, chocolate martini. All were excellent. Our server was so knowledgeable and sweet. Thank you for a great meal and dessert.”

“Salisbury has very few restaurants that I would give a second chance. My fiance and I put Mambo Grill & Tapas at the top of our list. Its our date night go to.”

“Hats off to our Waitress, Ruth! The food was delicious, especially their Bankok Banana & Coconut Ice Cream, but the best part of the experience was Ruth. A dearer, sweeter, more efficient , amiable person I cannot imagine. Go there and ask for Ruth. Dang, she is nice!! !”

“This place is a hole in the wall. I was passing through and decided to give it a try. Monday has $3 drinks. This place is great! Great vibe, great service, great music!”

“We had the best dinner at Outback Salisbury. This our favorite restaurant. Our server, Rachel, was very attentive and courteous. Had a wonderful Valentine dinner with my husband.”

“2 thumbs up. A very warm, friendly atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant. Good service, Original food.”

“We visited this winery as part of a bachelorette party this weekend. The staff were amazing and well versed in their wine selection. They had great recommendations for tastings for our tasting preferences. The owner, Biff and his wife, catered to every need that we had and made the experience so fun. The wine was delicious. The private room that they hosted us in was beautiful. We will be back:)”

“Lovely night for our son's birthday! Samantha was awesome and so was our chef! Food was delicious 😋”

“My buddies 50th was celebrated last night at Ivans. The food, service, atmosphere, everything Top Notch! This is the best filet I've had, period. The service can't be beat. You have an awesome staff that takes great care of their guests. Highly Recommend!”

“It’s a rare and genuinely gratifying experience to step into an establishment that so seamlessly marries an exceptional product selection with refreshingly authentic service — and this bottle shop achieves exactly that.

The curated selection of beers is nothing short of masterful: a diverse, globe-spanning array that caters as effortlessly to the casual sipper as it does to the most discerning of craft connoisseurs. Whether you're chasing limited-edition releases, classic regional staples, or something entirely off the beaten path, you'll find the shelves thoughtfully stocked and impeccably maintained.

Equally commendable is the presence behind the bar — a bartender whose demeanor might best be described as forthrightly kind. Eschewing the unnecessary theatrics of over-polished hospitality, they strike that rare balance of being direct, knowledgeable, and sincerely personable. There’s an honesty in their approach that’s both refreshing and rare in today’s overly scripted service culture.

In short: if you're seeking not only great beer but an atmosphere of authenticity and tastefully understated excellence, this shop is a must-visit.”

“one of the best pizza places here in A2. I highly recommend it.”

“Love Chef Santos, great environment and good food.”

“Tabitha is the best waitress ever! Goes over and beyond always for us and loved on our little boy like her own. We hated to come tonight and her not be there. We wish her the best on her new journey!!”

“This is the best steakhouse around imo. I always have to wait for a table, but it's soooo worth it.

Edit: These days I call ahead for a table. It's usually ready by the time we get there 20-30 mins later. 😋”

“Authentic and delicious. ordered via Uber Eats and yah mon!!!! I ate ox tails,plantains beans and rice for two days. Worth every penny. It's real Jamaican food! Blessed my soul!”

“I loved the taco salad, loaded with taco meat, fresh avocado served in a fresh taco shell! I will be back again!”

“The best barbecue anywhere. Would you consider opening a restaurant in Georgetown SC. There isn’t a barbecue place in this town and really need one.”

“Ate here for the first time, food was great!!! Absolutely the best customer service so sweet and friendly. We will be back!”

“I enjoyed it thoroughly! The burgers tend to be a little dry because of the excellent crust they have on the outside. Cheese is a must on the burger. The shakes are brilliant! Fried cheese curds were a little salty and maybe too addictive. Overall a winner.”

“We always love coming here! Had a Buffalo chicken and white pizza today and man it hit the spot. Staff is great!”

“My friend introduced me to their coffee months ago when she gifted me with bags of their coffee for Christmas. My husband and I were immediately hooked. We have now tried about 5 different blends and they're all so good.

Yesterday, we finally made it 2 hours away to visit them in person. We ordered drinks and bought 3 bags of coffee. Everything was perfect. We have decided we'll make the trip every couple of months for our coffee supply.

They are insanely busy (we did go on a Saturday morning). I don't think I've ever waited in line so long at a coffee shop but it's worth it.

I would love a larger iced drink size if that's ever an option. I'm an addict.”

“5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First Time at Haps – Best Hotdog Ever! Tried Haps for the first time today, and let me just say — that was the best hotdog I've ever had! Great flavor, fresh ingredients, and friendly service to top it off. Definitely won’t be my last visit. – Madd Mike Clean Bubbles”

“As part of exploring local food and the cultures behind it, Recipes of Culture recently visited Loteria located at 113 W Innes St, Salisbury, NC 28144, and it was a great experience. This family-owned restaurant from Guanajuato, Mexico brings authentic flavor and vibrant culture right to downtown Salisbury. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, colorful, and welcoming. The restaurant’s name is inspired by Lotería, a traditional Mexican game that dates back to the 1700s and is often compared to bingo. Instead of numbers, the game uses illustrated cards like El Gallo, La Sirena, and El Corazón. It’s a fun cultural tradition that many Mexican families grow up playing, so it’s great to see that cultural connection represented in the restaurant’s identity. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The portions were generous, and you can tell the dishes are made with care. Everything tasted authentic and satisfying, making it a solid spot for anyone craving Mexican food in the Salisbury area. At Recipes of Culture, we love highlighting places where food and culture come together, and Loteria is a great example of that. If you’re in Salisbury and looking to support a local business while enjoying great Mexican food, this is definitely a place worth visiting. — Recipes of Culture”

Love you guys! 🤍”

“I want to start by saying this is the best Honey Baked Ham ai have ever eaten at! I had a Turkey Classic with potato salad and the vanilla rum cake. It was delicious! The potato salad stands out from other HBH stores and I can tell everything was prepared with pride. Nader is amazing. He greeted me with enthusiasm and was passionate about the food and experience. The place has his charm (it doesn’t feel so corporate/franchise) even though the marketing is on full display. He even has one of his personal paintings hanging up☺️. A wonderful experience. If you’re in the area or passing through I highly recommend stopping by.”

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.”

“I Recommend you take the day off and order dinner from Catine at the new improved Inland Point FRESH Seafood Truck! I did!”

“Friendly service, nice environment, variety choice and great good.”

“Excellent”

“Hotdiggity Dog is the kind of local gem every community wishes they had. The owners and staff are truly top-notch the kind of people who understand what building a business from the ground up really means. Watching them grow from a stand, to a trailer, and now a full brick-and-mortar location has been nothing short of inspiring. And the food? Let’s just say once you try it, you’ll already be planning your next visit. Whether it’s one of their unforgettable burgers, a perfectly loaded hotdog, or one of their insanely good breakfast sandwiches 🥪, every bite hits the spot. Great people, great food, great energy Hotdiggity Dog has it all. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome looking downtown with plenty to do. We went to New Sarum and stayed right downtown with Harvest Host, walking distance to anything there. Wish we could have stayed longer.”

“Always clean and the people very nice and knowledgeable plus it's a great alternative on prices compared to grocery and other stores. The lower prices alone is worth going. Thank you for being a dependable option in these times and days of humanitarian need.”

“I was camping at a nearby campground and googled a local restaurant. Google recommend several restaurants in the area, one them was the Round About Grill. This is an amazing little restaurant that has been hiding in plain view. The food is incredible and fresh. The restaurant has a home town feeling that is welcoming. Very friendly staff that speaks to you like they have known you forever. Most importantly, it is clean and smells incredible. Don't let the exterior fool you. highly recommend!”

“Your get down local hangout! Fun atmosphere and the bartenders are the best! ☺️😍”

“I grew up in Salisbury and lived there well into my adulthood. I live in Columbia, SC now but when I come back to town to visit my Mom, one of my favorite places to eat is at Checkered Flag. They’re food is really good but the hard working ladies who serve the customers is what makes it great. They take the time to talk to every customer at every table and it’s not just chit chat. They really want to know how you are and what they can do for you to make your visit perfect. They treat everyone like family but for those of us who come back again and again, we become family. Even for me, an out of towner, I even know two of the hard working ladies, Angela and Jen. Angela showed her hard working team spirit yesterday when, Jen, our server, was tied up with her other tables. Angela stepped in and took our order until Jen could get back over to us. This example of teamwork becomes contagious and I’m sure that Jen has done the same thing for Angela and all of her co-workers. Jen is such a joy to be around. Her personality oozes charisma and warmth and she makes you feel truly special because that is who she is!! I heartily recommend Checkered Flag for their great food and and their even greater people!! I rate them 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 5 hearts!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️”

“Amazing food and Amazing people!!”

“Had lunch there today - great service and food as always! Best Stromboli in town…Brought desserts home and gotta say, the Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake …. Best Thing EVER !!!”

“service was excellent and God was great”

“The staff was very friendly! The store was clean and well organized. I actually had no idea how this little sweet shop was in this area and I’m very happy to find it. I’m looking forward to using them for upcoming birthdays and holiday event.”

“If you're in Salisbury and wanna have a good time, this is definitely the place to go! They have the BEST wings! Good vibes, Great music and DRINKS!”

“Excellent hole-in-the-wall bakery serving everything from donuts, cakes, flan, cookies, bear claws, croissants, pan dulce, various other Spanish and Italian pastries, and fast service. Grab tongs and a pan when you come in and have at the display case! They only take cash so plan ahead.”

“All the employees are very polite. The smoothies and wraps are delicious.”

“We got food poisoning think it was the salad ,enough said . of course this is just my opinion no lab test,but my wife and I were sick for 3 days. there are 3 of us the 3rd one did not get sick, they did not eat the salad.”

“great place and vibe. staff are awesome, cool music venue proud to play there!”

“very friendly and attentive staff food is very good quality and reasonably priced.”

“My name is Scott and I’ve been coming to Biscuitville in Salisbury NC on Jake Alexander Boulevard since I semi retired in August of 2023 every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They have the best breakfast on the boulevard here by far. The food is awesome and my order is always exactly as I ordered it. I always go thru the drive thru and eat in the parking lot and watch the traffic go by. Now this may sound boring but you never know what you may see here in Salisbury. At times they may be a little short handed with the staff but I’m always greeted with a smile. I would like to give the manager Gabe and his staff here a huge SHOUTOUT!!! They are all TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Scott”

“My best friend and I have been going here on a weekly basis for several years now and we love this place! Love the wings, always fresh and good portions and staff always on point!”

“Food was amazing an affordable service was beautiful an drinks were real drinks❤️❤️”

“This place is great. It is not for everyone. Nice people. Cold beer. Great service. Free pool on Sunday. If this is your kind of thing then come by and have some fun and tip your bartender. Live to ride. Ride to live.”

“The salad bar is yummy! The pizza and dessert pizza are great too! You can order the buffet or order off the menu. You can request certain pizzas to be made and put out on the buffet as well! They support the community with fundraiser events. Great job!”

“Sarah at Waffle House off jake Alexander blvd Salisbury nc great employee gave me great service and was literally by herself and took care of me and another customer all by herself great service would definitely go back”

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.”

“Good place for a quick bite! Get the app to find daily deals sometimes. I highly recommend the salads, especially the Asian salad! They need to cook there fries a little longer to make them crispier on the outside.”

“Best street tacos ever!!!!! Will be eating here more often.”

“Proud to be a new member at this post. Hopefully many more vets will come and join! If you ever served come on over, we would love to have you!”

“Helping police officers thank you”

“Best coffee ever. Smooth and not bitter. Great service. Support local!”

“Quesabirria Tacos are insanely good. I don't eat from food trucks much. But a friend told me I had to try this one. 10/10 good! Anytime I'm nearby I stop and get food from them”

“Came from Texas just for these tacos! they are so good 😍😍😍 definently reccomend! have a lot of things to choose from, very authentic!”

“Where can I find grape sugar free Popsicles around 77503 area. Those were the best when I was in the hospital and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Ty!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“I usually love Marco’s…pizzas are the best, however when i tried ordering online today, to use the BOGO free pizza coupon code ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE SALISBURY STORE WEBSITE, it wouldn’t allow me to use. I called the store to order and use the code and the guy on the phone said he had no idea why and couldn’t help me. You need your fix your website and stop advertising items/coupons that we cannot use.”

“I love this place. I usually eat here at least once or twice a week. the short lady/owner? that seats you is the friendliest lady ever. always good service. good atmosphere and laid back. I hope they always stay in business!!!! My favorites are steak & cheese quesadilla, shredded chicken and cheese quesadilla, and six grilled shrimp. I also think they have the best salsa in town”

“The best ice cream in the whole wide world”

“Osaka is our favorite restaurant! We are new to the area and were looking for great hibachi and sushi. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is friendly and prompt, and the food is fantastic. They even have a rewards program!”

“I love Blue Bay. The have the best fish around Salisbury.”

“Excellent food and Great Service”

“The people working here are so sweet and they always try to make sure they got my order right. They are very hard working and appreciate this little golden restaurant, it’s more of a takeout place but overall have never had a bad experience.”

“$10!!! $10!!! $10!!! For the lunch buffet, not including drink (their unsweetened tea is so good). When you walk in, the atmosphere is nothing to brag about... its just three little tables and the buffet space. Off to one side is a doorway that leads to another room full of tables and chairs. They have plenty of space. Decent, older (60's/70's) music was playing in the background. The bathrooms are clean and smell ok. The restaurant is clean overall, but could seriously use an update.
The service was good. Two ladies were running the place and they kept my tea glass full. If you order a soft drink, it comes in a can and they are off-brand. When you're finished with one plate, they remove it quickly so the table stays clear. They were really on point and very friendly.
The food. Well. We came late to the party and that's apparently not the thing to do. They open at 11 (close at 3). We got there at 1:45 and a lot of things had been picked over and were already drying out. The two pizza choices (pepperoni and cheese) were so dried out that I would not even try them. The salad bar still looked fresh and the lasagne was out of this world. The spaghetti and meat sauce was delicious. Their meatballs, while small and a little squishy (definitely not homemade) were also pretty tasty. There was a chicken dish that I dove to the bottom to find a piece still covered in sauce and that was decent. They had another meat dish that I tried to find a piece that wasn't dried out and couldn't so I didn't. They also have mixed veggies on the hot bar that were not over cooked. Again, the salad var, while not very expansive, was fresh and very good. There was also a minestrone soup which we did not try.
For the $10, go early! We're definitely going back! They also have a dinner menu, but I'm not sure they're operating that atthe moment. Would definitely recommend this spot if you can eat earlier sorat least by noonish.”

“Just tried it for the first time today for lunch. The service is top notch! Super sweet and attentive staff and the food was outstanding! My daughter loved the Fresca and I can’t wait to visit again and try the margaritas. Our new favorite spot!”

“My food was ready before I could fill my drink and the chicken was fresh & hot. The employee taking the order was great as well! Great experience will definitely be back!”

“Went for an earlier dinner! It was very calm, peaceful and there were not a lot of customers at that time. Food was good. I really like our waiter. He was personable and did a wonderful job serving us!”

“So glad we found this cool spot! Our family had just finished the Polar Express ride in Spencer, NC and my wife and I decided to go and grab a quick dinner nearby. DJ's is just a few minutes down the road and very easy to get to. As soon as you walk in you can tell it's a fun place. They have a great looking bar area with a stage for live performances, or possibly Karaoke. We were seated quickly and decided on just a quick dinner. My wife ordered the Shrimp entree along with the mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. She loved it! Especially the broccoli, which was more steamed and roasted. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki with is more of a pita wrap. It tasted great! The service was excellent and quick. We were so glad to have found DJ's!”

“Y'all need to stop talking bad about my family restaurant if y'all don't have anything nice to say don't say it all some of y'all is rude”

“Both workers provided excellent service . They were very friendly and communicative, I wish that all Dunkin Donuts had more workers like them two young ladies at this location. By the way both of them are Red Bone Women with pretty eyes.”

“The two night workers great cooks an very very friendly beautiful spirit individuals thanks so much for tonight”

“great food! I have been going here for years and never disappointed.”

“Man one of the best place to get biscuits at in all of usa I drive all 48 states on mainlane I ain't never ever ever had biscuit so good that I had to stop and get a whole sack so soft so so so soft u don't even need no liquid.”

“Very kind workers, I always enjoy my food! I wish they weren't understaffed so that the workers could take a breath during their shifts. All of them seem like good kids, shame on the company for crappy staffing. But the people that work there are delightful no less, and the pizza is yummy :)”

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!”

“We went there and the subs are so yummy. we have eaten at the other location and we're disappointed with EVERYTHING. the difference is quality, customer service and cleanliness is night and day. Adam was great and everyone was friendly. Quson the owner was amazing!!!”

“average chain Spanish food. nothing exiting but hit the spot for what we wanted. friendly fast staff...always a plus.”

“Food is fresh and good. 👍🏽👍🏽”

“The meatloaf and stewed apples were good. The hash brown casserole was a very small portion and seemed to be the last of what they had. They appeared to be understaffed on servers. My server was nice and attentive, but seemed to need extra help. The onion petals were over cooked and too hard to eat. The store looked great and there were a lot of good sales.”
