“We celebrated our anniversary recently at Webb. What a great meal and service. We loved the silent movies in the background and watching the hustling of the chefs and servers in the kitchen/prep area — yes, we were in the balcony. 😊 The duck cigars are a favorite so we had to have those. The sea bass cut “like butter” and the shrimp and grits were the best I’ve ever had. Coffees and a slice of their coconut cake topped off a wonderful meal. Thanks Garrett for the attention! Thanks Webb management for the little gift 😉“

“Overall great dining experience on an explorative family outing. The only consideration was the dessert. The Banana pudding while served up in a giant goblet of a dish was 95% cream whip. A great Banana pudding in most opinions should have either banana or cookie or both in every bite.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Mayworth Public House! The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of upscale and laid-back pub vibes, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and nights out. The menu features classic American favorites, and the rotating selection of local craft beers is a huge plus. We tried the parmesan truffle fries (crispy and full of flavor), the giant fish sandwich paired with a loaded baked potato, and the Brussels sprouts — everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to! 🍻🍽️“

“Food and service is excellent. The value is great for the amount of food you get. Sara L was polite and very attentive. The calamari was a huge portion and enough for 4 people as an appetizer. Every time we come here we leave happy and full and with some leftover for the next day. Highly recommend“

Best shaved eyes next to Hawaii of course that I have ever experienced so much variety and so many unique flavors and combinations kids love it. I’m 50 and I absolutely love it kid at hard. I guess you could say but it’s great for all ages.“

My son and I ate there yesterday. We love breakfast for lunch! I love a family style restaurant! I want to support the locals as much as possible! Thanks for the great service and delicious food! I highly recommend this restaurant!!

“If you're a fan of classic comfort food, BrightStar is an absolute must-visit. Their burgers are simply outstanding—perfectly cooked with a juicy, flavorful patty that's always fresh and topped with just the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth cheese. The buns are soft and toasted to perfection, holding everything together while adding a nice little crunch.

But the real star of the show? The cheese tots. Crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, they’re smothered in a rich, cheesy goodness that makes every bite a little bit of heaven. It's the kind of side dish that could easily steal the spotlight from the burger, but together, they create the ultimate meal.

If you're in the mood for some seriously satisfying food, BrightStar delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful food! Homemade desserts! Everything is so delicious! We are happy that they stay open later a few days of the week now!“

It was beyond what I hoped for. never tasted a steak so next to perfect, it made me shake the hand if the Chef. Host,Waiters, Mrs. Cleaning Lady...Best place in Gastonia all round. Had to give my first review for it. Thank You .“

“BEST LOCAL RESTAURANT IN DENVER.FAMILY OWNED AND GREAT PEOPLE.“

“Love the quiet vibe and the food was very tasty. Has the turkey sandwich with fruits as a side, which I must say was a breath of fresh air from the typical sides offered in America consisting of various types of fries. A little cup of assorted fruits hits the spot.“

Do NOT GET THE PRETZEL! it was awful. Anyways, no liquor is served only beer and wine. Service was nice! They also serve dog friendly food!“

“My husband and I dined here on December 27th. The young lady that took our order was very friendly and personable. While eating, a young gentleman checked on us twice. On his second time of checking on us, I waved him over and informed him that the Mtn Dew was all syrup. He stated that they just had had someone come out to fix the carbonation and he was guessing it didnt get fixed. He replaced my drink with lemonade and we talked briefly about what flavor lemonades we enjoy. He was very friendly and personable as well. 5 STARS for service and the food was great as well. My husband stated that it was probably the best flounder he had ever had.“

“Small place but very friendly staff and food was good.“

“Really great place. Lots of space, live sports all over the place, and friendly workers as well as locals. You’ll have a great time.“

“The best ever. Fast clean and friendly you can't get a better breakfast or lunch“

“Every Monday I make the trip to the Eggs Up Grill, the menu has plenty of options and my biggest concern is deciding what to choose. The staff is outstanding and the coffee is kept topped off and hot. If you haven't been here, you are missing out on somewhere special - is my go to breakfast place!“

“The Food Was Great!! Food was will seasoned and HOT !!!!“

“Our first visit was today. The food was amazing and the Manager that was working the afternoon was amazing. The Manager stepped up and came our waitress she filled our drinks and brought our bill. Our Waitress we had was horrible she never once refilled our drinks. She only took our order and delivered it to us. We did leave a tip which should go to the Manager. We will visit again just hope we have a different waitress.“

“Service was a bit slow, food came out lukewarm/cold. Coffee wasn't good. Wish people knew about water filters and making good coffee.
Bacon and hash browns were terrific. Eggs cold. French toast was great. Belgian waffle was overcooked and cold.
Server was pleasant. Breakfast served all day.
Diner atmosphere, nothing fancy.“

“Best Classic Smash Burger of all time!!!!! Service was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“
