“The Embers is a great place to find lunch in Southern Pines. The atmosphere is unpretentious and casual. The bathroom for everyone is located to the left of the order counter, which is a little awkward, but they are maximizing the use of their space. The hostess was friendly and patient in taking our orders. The prices are reasonable for the generous portions.I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. My companion ordered the brisket sandwich and regular fries.The chicken was pleasantly enhanced with a slightly sweet barbecue sauce and Cole slaw. The sweet potato fries were freshly prepared, but they lacked the savory seasoning that I expected. My companion liked the flavor of the brisket, but she found it to be too populated with bits of fat. Some may prefer the extra flavor provided with the juicy bits, but texture is also important. The fries were crisp and savory. We liked the food well enough to return soon, but brisket will not be one of our choices.“
“I was the DJ at a wedding they recently catered. Let's just say some of the best food ever and I have seen A LOT of wedding food. I wish I had gotten pics to show you but I ate it too fast! The salad bar alone was amazing but add in the carving station so good!!#classyandjazzydj“
“This is the second time we have been since the new owners took over. The staff is very friendly. The lady working in the lobby was quick to clean the tables after people left since it was a bit busy on a Sunday. We didn't have to wait long to order. Only a few people in line ahead of us. The food was good as usual and always way more than I can eat. My kids most eat the chicken nuggets or chicken breast cut up. I tried their new baked potato today and I have to admit I have never seen a potato that big before. It was glorious if you love a good baked potato. Southern Pines NC location“
“Our family has gathered here for over 10 years to celebrate my Grandmother's birthday. I'm not sure if it is new management or new staff, but this place really has really improved!! The service this year was amazing and the food was excellent. Thank you Ashley!! If you visit make sure to tip your servers well!!“
“Absolutely love this place! Their food is delicious and it’s one of my families go-to’s. The Steak House Black Angus Brisket and Chefs Roast Beef (pictured) are divine. I also love the chicken crunch wrap. I should also mention that they have a drive through window for picking up to-go orders just that much more convenient. Five stars!“
