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 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:)”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“First time but definitely won’t be my last. Everything was cooked perfectly. Service was fabulous. We had burger and nachos so yummy.”

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

“Very nice 👍 🫵🏻👉🏻👌🏿💦❤️💋🇺🇸❤️‍🔥🔫💨🫦👃🏻🫁”

“This restaurant just knocks it out of the ballpark in service and quality. It is our favorite Longhorn location, and we are never disappointed. The food is always fresh, order is accurate, and service is great. We drive from Statesville and it’s worth the drive.”

“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!”

“This was such a fabulous article that I had to meet these fellows and check out their menu. As I walked in the door, I met the absolutely delightful Fitzroy. I sampled the jerk chicken wings and the fish stew which were both yummy. Yesterday we went back and got the chicken patty and loved it. I had never had oxtail so I asked Fitzroy If I could have a little taste to see if I liked it. Well I now love oxtail so that’s what I ordered. Absolutely blown away by the deliciousness of this food… Made delicious by the love that goes into it and all of the creativity and spices. We met Ricardo yesterday who is another very special individual. If you’re looking for a new place to go where the food is infused with all sorts of delightful things I would highly recommend going to visit Fitzroy and Ricardo. They are two of the nicest guys and so very humble.”

“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.”

“First time here today and it was delicious! I got the sweet chili chicken bowl and it was packed with flavor. Very impressed with the 100 sanitation rating. They were so incredibly friendly. 👍👍”

“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.”

“Excellent pizza! Excellent beer list! Go here!”

“Best Carmel frappe in townand all the other flavors! I only got 2 large frappe's and 1 small frappe! I can't tell you anything about outside. I use drive thru only!”

“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”

“We had the pleasure of having Mr. Cone at our wedding venue, The Ivory Barn in Huntersville, NC, and he was an absolute hit with our guests! The interactive dessert experience was so much fun, and the swirls were not only Instagram-worthy but absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and creamy, and the presentation was top-notch.

Our crowd loved every bite, and we’ll definitely be recommending Mr. Cone to all of our couples looking for a unique and memorable dessert option. Highly recommend for any event. You won’t be disappointed!”

“This place is the "Cheers" of Salisbury, where everybody knows your name. Well, maybe not everybody but a goodly amount. it may not be for everybody but everybody owes it to themselves to come visit and check it out. A friendly, homey, speakeasy, hangout where music, art, and good times all interact.”

“WOW, my daughter and I -- both out-of-towners -- read local restaurant reviews, and were impressed by the rave reviews for Mustafas. A perfect place for us to grab a bite between bouts of shopping. And what a delightful place! The restaurant's clean, simple atmosphere created a welcoming ambiance. We were immediately greeted with warmth and helpful suggestions from a kind staff member, as we were Turkish food newbies. The chicken was the best I'd ever eaten! -- kebab chicken: an absolute revelation! Every bite was a flavor explosion. The accompanying sauce, rice, and even the french fries were unexpectedly delicious. The portions were quite generous, and visually appealing. So glad we found this place. Mustafa's has truly converted us into Turkish food enthusiasts!”

“Had lunch at Juice Life in Salisbury today. It was so delicious! The person working the counter was so sweet and informative, let us try out samples of some amazing cold pressed juices and talked to us about the intentionality behind every blend. The owners CARE. And it shows- their whole staff was happy and working together well. As a former service industry person- the places I like to give my money HAVE TO treat their employees well too 👏👏 They get hundreds of pounds of local and SEASONAL produce every day and make all products on the premises. There are no additives, preservatives, and when fast food cost as much as the grocery store these days, the price for our lunch was really amazing! I had The Defender smoothie- a really beautiful dark berry color that reminded me of Polk Berry stems- and it had black berries, elderberry, ginger and a few other ingredients- with NO added sugar. The everything bagel with the house made honey nut cream cheese, and my boyfriend had the PRETTIEST Sunset fruit bowl we’ve ever seen and the four berry smoothie. Everything was so tasty! I couldn’t even find a sample I was disappointed with. I’m excited to try them all now! Definitely a new favorite spot. I haven’t felt this good after a lunch in a long time. I have a weakness for Lavendar- I adore it. So naturally I had to grab the LAST bottle in the fridge of their Moon Mylk- the picture does not do this gorgeous color justice. If you are in Salisbury and are looking for a clean and tasty lunch that won’t make you feel Terrible- we recommend Juice Life! And it’s right near Goodwill- so I know what I’ll be fueling my Treasure Hunts with now! #supportlocalbusiness #JuiceLife #salisburync #cleaneating 🫶🏽🙌🏽”

asked if I had a reservation. I took a seat at the bar. The initial service was kind of slow but once I ordered my food was ready very quickly.

Evelyn served us up a fat daddy frappe and macchiato with extra shots of espresso and boy were we impressed!!

“Had to stop and check it out!Built in 1950 and it certainly looked like an antique! Very cute!! Ice cream was excellent!”

“I find this place to be just great.. the seafood is the best I ever had.. very friendly staff, good prices.. just be hungry when you go, these folks really fill your plate full...I have no complains what soever...”

“Amazing place with a Family atmosphere! Highly recommend!”

“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!! !”

“moved here recently from California and sunflowers are my absolute favorite !!! this field was my favorite adventure we have been on since we moved here !!! so open and peaceful and absolutely beautiful! easy to find !!! and so much to explore !!! we will be back !!”

“Excellent”

“great place, terrific food and friendly staff”

“I'm not sure why Google wanted me to rate this place like it was a restaurant, but it is a discount bread and bakery shop that also has other food items like chips and gravy and whatever else seems to be in stock at the moment. Their prices are great. And I've never had dry bread just because it was discounted. Although I have had some Bakery items that were slightly dry. But given how much I save, I don't mind. I don't buy my bread from anywhere else. The staff is friendly. I definitely recommend this business.”

“I meet the owner when this place first opened. Super nice and takes super care of what she makes and serves. Dubai chocolate bar with authentic ingredients was the best thing I have had in a long time.”

“Love the place and the food!!”

“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!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️”

“Everything was good , done on time. I ordered for pick up and they brought it out very quickly. However I asked for no onions in the salad and there were onions, which made it almost impossible for me to eat. I understand Mistakes happen so hoping this won't happen again next time”

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”

“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.”

“Best coffee ever !!! Ran into mean mug in the mall while we were on vacation from out of town. Evelyn served us up a fat daddy frappe and macchiato with extra shots of espresso and boy were we impressed!! Bought some whole beans to bring home so we could have a little piece of mean mug with us when we got back to Florida. Makes amazing espresso and traditional coffee.”

“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.”

“Best Chinese takeout around! I've tried several options in the Salisbury area and thus far, Wong's is the best. Prices are on par with most takeout places, and the Shrimp Fried Rice and Vegetable Lo Mein are both more flavorful than other places I've tried. Service was friendly and fast. This will be our go-to takeout place from now on.”

“The best ice cream in the whole wide world”

“Family and I ate here a few years ago. Chef greeted us personally and was super nice. Food wasn’t gonna win awards, but my family of 5 ate for like $20 which was pretty cool on a road trip. My wife and I paid whatever the price was and then the chef gave us a price for the 3 kids that was different. I don’t remember how much but it wasn’t a lot. Everyone was talking to each other between tables which was also cool. Meatballs were good. Salad bar was fine. Overall I wouldn’t think twice about eating there again.

Short review: it felt kind of like eating at someone’s house… just with a bunch of other people. Put your ego and pride aside and stop in to have a bite to eat while shopping.”

“This place is a gem! We really enjoyed strolling through downtown, grabbing ice cream from Spanky's, and stopping by the park. They offer an excellent variety of flavors, convenient parking right out front, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We loved it so much we went twice this week—once with my kids and again with my sister and her family. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the toppings were a fun bonus for the kids. You can enjoy indoor seating or take your treats along for a walk through the charming downtown area.”

“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!”

“This is a nice spot to go out for dinner and drinks whether with you significant other, or friends, or even your kids. Everything we have tried here has been delicious and they have a wide array of drink options. We also always enjoy the service we get from Ru.”

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

“Went for an interview and left out with two of the best sandwiches on the menu so far. The Tavern and the Honey Baked Ham were to die for hands down. The atmosphere the service and the conversations were spot on. They are nice people and not to mention very clean. I will be returning back to try more on the menu and hopefully working there soon nonetheless. If you haven't checked them out please do you won't be disappointed I promise.”
