Toscanos Bistro 5 E Marion St UNIT 5, Shelby Italian • $

“My wife and I visited Shelby for the first time. We just recently moved to NC. We Googled restaurants in inthe area and found Toscanos, and thought we'd give it a try. When we entered, the restaurant is inviting with tables and very large booths, and jazz playing overhead. My wife and I were seated at a table. She ordered a glass of wine, and me the designated driver, an ice tea.

The menu has plenty of choices, and there are also chalk board selections as you enter the restaurant.

My wife ordered a combination pasta (spaghetti ) with sausage, peppers, and mushrooms with a red sauce.
I had the chicken pasta with a creamy garlic sauce, spinach and sun dried tomatoes.
Because we were hungry, we also ordered an artichoke dip and we wanted to sample the soup of the day, " Lasagna Soup."

Our entrees both came with a very generous salad and garlic bread. Had we known any better, we probably would have skipped the other items, because this was plenty of food.

Everything we ordered was very good. The salads, soup, artichoke dip, garlic bread, and especially our pasta dishes.

I believe our server was Taylor, and she was very kind and attentive, as well as the gentleman that was busing the tables.
We enjoyed our meal, and we'll definitely return to try other menu items.”

Ruby Tuesday 2003 E Dixon Blvd, Shelby American • $

“Took my wife out for our anniversary at Ruby Tuesday’s on July 14th. I ordered 1/2 rack ribs with fries and she ordered a hamburger, two salad bars, and tea. The total bill including a tip was $50.00. The Berger and salad was good, but th ribs were tough and dry and possibly left over from earlier and warmed over. I have eaten ribs before at the same place and always good.”

Taste-T-Drive-In 322 E Marion St, Shelby Hamburger • $

“Wow! What a great hamburger. I have paid $15 for burgers that were not as good. It was cooked up fresh after I ordered it and was delicious. I could tell it is good quality hamburger meat. The fries were good also, they were large crinkle cut fries .And they were fried up fresh.. A friend told me about the lemonade and I tried it. It’s the best around and I even got a free refill. I love this place..A restaurant doesn’t have to be complicated to serve great food.”

“Absolutely awesome. Price first.... pretty decent. The food, is great,b I've tried everything on the menu, and regret none of it. But the sweet tea is to die for. And the cute pocket size lady is amazing with kids. The whole staff is great with kids. P.s. They sing, the tall cook with the beard, will really send you back in time, down memory lane. Ask him to sing you a tune. He will”

Applebee's Grill + Bar 433 Earl Rd, Shelby American • $

“We've started making it a point to eat out here in Shelby, NC at least 3 - 4 times a week. The main reason is to spend more quality time together, but we decided to take in a good meal as well. We both agreed that the waitress we had was by far the best ever. The food and drinks were excellent and it wasn't very crowded because of the time, so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend a visit!!!”

“There's always something there I like to eat. Fried chicken(was hoping for some chicken livers),pot roast, fried fish and shrimp, but it's hard to enjoy steak if there are no knives to cut it with. Those paper packets restaurants put utensils in are a useless waste and likely cause some of those utensils disappearances.”

“Was during snow storm.. only had (from what I could see was ) 2 employees working.. n boy were they killing it!! Service was fast, easy, accurate, affordable and CLEAN!!! Ladies were SUPER friendly! Courteous! My only regret was not getting their names; because those 2 deserve recognition for their service, especially considering the situation.. and yes, I tipped those ladies!!! Yaw, please bring back patronage n acknowledgement for our FAST FOOD, SERVICE WORKERS!!! tip your service worker!! Even if it's a simple compliment!! Customer service, especially fast food, are NOT "easy" jobs.. ppl are rude, disrespectful,.. just please? Learn to honor and acknowledge them as well for THEIR services!

Cook Out 308 Earl Rd, Shelby Fast Food • $

“Cookouts food is always good of course, delicious cheese fries with Cajun seasoning and burgers are pretty good, hot dogs good and kids like the nuggets, love their drinks with the crushed ice it’s so good
Only issue is with the broken speaker here and consistently the portions of fries are different, like sometimes a side of cheese fries will fill up the box but other times it’s like 10 fries and a dollop of cheese”

Newgrass Brewing Co. 213 S Lafayette St, Shelby Brewery • $$

“I've been to dozens of breweries over the years, some are good, some are lame... This place is AMAZING!! The Belgian Tripple is on point, and I've been to Belgium and had those beers. They have a great ESB and Sangria. The chicken tenders (sweet chili sauce) were out of this world good!! There is ample seating, dining room, upstairs and outside. The music is good, and at the right volume so you can still have a conversation. This place is a gem!!”
