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!+!+”

“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.”

“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.”

“This place is nice and serves food that is not typical in this area. The smells were amazing and made me hungry! The bar is a unique focal point of the restaurant, though I did not indulge this go around. The service was good as was the 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.”

“The host was incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable. As someone who loves sweet wines, the muscadine sweet wine was spot on! I also met some wonderful people who shared my love of exploring and discovering new wines, and we had the best time together.

I highly recommend this welcoming place! Come enjoy the wine and the experience—you’ll be happy you went! 🍷✨”

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

“I'm a regular here and I have to admit it's a pretty decent place. A lot of locals give it a bad rep but in all honesty as far as dive bars go it's pretty good. They have your usuals like karaoke nights and they'll have the occasional band. A lot of people come here and it can get crowded especially if there's some kind of event going on in town. If you want to play pool here be sure to bring cash or quarters. They have quarter machines in the back that convert cash over. There is an ATM.”

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

“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.”

“Kathy it was a wonderful server it was a pleasure to have her as our server today the food was wonderful came out quick the food was hot food was delightful and we looking forward to our next visit!”

“Long Horn Steakhouse hit the spot tonight! Love the new leather bound menus! We had the Parmesan fries, Caesar salad, & 12 oz ribeye cooked a perfect medium. Low wait time and great service topped it all off!”

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

“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.”

“My family and I had the oxtails dinner and it was amazing. Make me feel like I am back home in NYC.”

“I absolutely love koco Java’s oldest location! I usually go through the drive-thru, and even though I’m not always going inside, the girls there are always super, super sweet, kind, and welcoming. Every single time I come through, they make the experience feel personal and genuinely enjoyable.

Koco Java is so much more than just a local coffee shop. It’s a place that helps connect the community, and you can truly feel that through the wonderful customer service and kindness the employees bring every day. Their positive attitudes and warm personalities make every single trip awesome—even if it’s just a quick stop through the drive-thru! ☕❤

You can tell they genuinely care about their customers, and that kind of kindness makes such a difference. The girls at this location are truly amazing, and koco Java is lucky to have them! Thank you for always making me feel welcomed and appreciated. 💕👏”

“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”

“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”

“Wonderful. Food service and dining room. Will definitely be coming here more often. Got white fish this time and highly recommend”

“Wonderful beautifully decorated space with stunning original artwork. You are greeted by cheerful staff with whom you can purchase a coffee/latte/expresso/ spritzer/wine or beer. You can book time in the cat room or just chill out on the cafe side in their chili vibe seating. The cats in the cat room (typically about 12) are also very chill which is a testament to the great care they receive by their caregivers. The cats are also available for adoption. Mac Tabby Cat Cafe is the only cat cafe group in the country with 3 locations and is a little less than 10 years old. Since the opening of their first location in the NoDa district of Charlotte followed by one in Concord and then Salisbury, they have adopted out nearing 2500 cats! What a great mission with a wonderful group of hardworking people who make it work!”

“Oh my heavens! We had an after dinner sweet tooth and stopped by The Goodie Bag to cure our craving. We had never been and let me tell you, we have been missing out! Immediately sampled everything as soon as we got home. Seriously, I can't pick a favorite. The brownies are soo chocolately, the cookies have the BEST texture, and the yam cake is *chefs kiss*
We were also greeted as soon as we walked in and were walked through every available item. Incredibly nice people!
We will absolutely be back! Thank you!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️”

“Yummy. I like to get the red apple stuffed with vanilla ice cream and a lot of condensed milk on top”

“Amazing food and Amazing people!!”

“Don't be fooled by the nostalgic setting or decor- the food is great!!! There is a great variety of food to choose from including chicken and dumplings, hot dogs, burgers, baked chicken, fried flounder, chicken pot pie, and a great selection of vegetables and sides. There are also daily specials. Our waitress was very nice and offered suggestions for the meal. No complaints-- everything we ordered was tasty. We'll go back to try the breakfast which is served until 2 o'clock.”

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

“service was excellent and God was great”

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

“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.”

“Excellent”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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❤️❤️”

“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”

“It’s hard to beat Fried Chicken Night with the family in the Long View Dining Room at Country Club Of Salisbury on Wednesday Night! The Best Fried Chicken in town on buffet! Sides are fresh, homemade, & delicious especially macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, don’t forget the collards and banana pudding!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

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

“The best ice cream in the whole wide world”

“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”

“Always seasoning their fries well. Chicken is always juicy. Drinks carbonation and syrups are always crispy and balanced. Cookies soft centered. Never a miss🙌🏼”

“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.”

“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!”

“$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 get it. They also have mixed veggies on the hot bar that were not over cooked. Again, the salad bar, 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 at the moment. Would definitely recommend this spot if you can eat earlier or at least by noonish.”

“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!”

“The skinny girl pizza was awesome with a ton of toppings. My son (26) could not stop talking about the Vodka Penne with blackened chicken and hubby had chicken parmesan. He liked it but wanted the penne our son had.”

“Niyoshi in Salisbury, NC is my absolute favorite place to get Japanese food from. They always great you with a smile and they know exactly what their customers want. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I definitely would because I always get my money's worth and more!!”

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

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

“Went through the drive thru and Dawayne helped my mom. He was extremely helpful to her, his vibe was amazing and his services were top tier. He made sure my mom’s fries were to her liking before sending her off. Best servicer we’ve ever met. Good Job!!”

“I love this Papa John’s in Salisbury, I ordered 3 pizzas and wings. Let me tell you, they were quick with it and tasty pizza! Love the service !
-Amy Ramirez”

“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!!!”

“Don't let those reviews about the rude girl stop you from going here and getting some delicious ice cream they were both very friendly and accommodating. My friend got the chocolate milkshake it was the thickest milkshake I had ever seen. I got the mint chocolate chip I especially like the tiny little chips of dark chocolate. The servings were very generous”

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

“They had no biscuits and later I overheard them tell another customer that they were completely out of bread. Whoever does the ordering needs to order enough bread to cover the extra that is ordered over the weekends.”

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."”
