“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.“

“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!“

“This place is amazing! The owners treat you like family and the food is the best within the state! If you love chicken fillet sandwiches, dont waste your money on Chic fil a ever again. Every time we come here and try something new, its even better than the last thing we ate. Everything is seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly. Not only can Darrell fry, cook, and grill, but he has perfected smoking any kind of meat that there is. Love this place!“

“Food was amazing and the servers were awesome. Will definitely be back!“

“We enjoyed the pulled pork, hush puppies, slaw, a breakfast spread with eggs, bacon, potatoes hash, pancakes, and a hot dog - Carolina style. Restaurants was packed full on a Sunday at 10:30 AM. No wait, really friendly staff, clean area & restrooms. Sweet tea was on-point. Prices very reasonable. Eastern Carolina Vinegar BBQ 'Sauce' was delicious, with a sweet vinegar heat, perfectly balanced for the pulled pork.“

“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...“

“Located in the heart of Tyro, NC.

Their Greek Salad with grilled chicken and their Chicken Caesar Salad are great. The chicken is marinated, seasoned, and grilled, making it savory and juicy.

Their traditional bone-in Buffalo Wings are excellent. The largest wings I've had so far.

Their Strombolis and Calzones are great. Stuffed with your choice of options and baked golden brown. And a large is large. I can eat two to three meals from each.

Update 23Jun2024: If I get a stromboli from here, it is usually the Steak Special Stromboli. But today, I tried the New York Stromboli with ham, pepperoni, cheese, and other stuff with oregano and other spices on the crust. I can mumble, "WOW!" and "YUM!" But I can't say anymore because my mouth is full.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Look this is a pizza buffet. It’s not going to hit Portnoy’s radar. Yes its in a strip mall. Yes the inside is dimly lit.

But, hear me out. The pizza is reminiscent of Pizza Hut in its prime. The salad bar is actually solid and was super clean and stocked. The service was super friendly and top notch. The gentleman making the pizzas was more than accommodating and even asked us what we wanted to see on the buffet bar. 4 unique requests later and we left bellies full, smiling, but wondering how we would stay awake on our road trip back up north!“

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

“Consistent service and good quality food“

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

“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“

“Our waitress Tabitha was PHENOMENAL - I would come back 1000 times just for her! The food was exceptional, and I left STUFFED! Easily the best TR I’ve ever gone to!“

“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.“

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

“Ordered from here tonight (called in order) the lady that answered didn't understand me, she handed the phone off to a gentleman and he sounded like ge didn't want to be there. I ordered the Philly cheese steak sub and an Italian sub. Well my Philly sub was plain, but still good. Next time imma ask for it all the “

“Pork chops were Great! But our baked potatoes at 1:30 in the afternoon. Looked and tasted like they had been cooking since last night. Salad and broccoli casserole were both good. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't been there in a couple years. We were sadly disappointed in the food in the past“

“Very short staffed that day, inside dining was closed due to staffing issues. All orders were through drive thru window, and it was some wait time involved. Even with all of that, I'm still rating 5 stars...food was hot and freshly cooked, the woman working drive thru was extremely apologetic and doing her absolute best to get everything moving as fast as possible.“

“We LOVE Lola and will be returning because of the amazing service and sweetness we were shown. Absolutely an amazing server who deserves some recognition!! Chase was also so kind. We adored both of these lovely people and hope to see them again soon!“
