“We had a great family experience. The food was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and prices were reasonable. The experience was made especially pleasant by Mike, our server for the evening. From the start, he set a wonderful tone and was so helpful helping us choose from the menu. Get the fried deviled eggs!! And thanks to Mike and the crew“

“we were on a trip stayed in waxhaw and like family diners we found this cute Mexican family owned everyone was so nice and food was good !“

“Quirky restaurant, steam punk decor. Their burgers are certainly impressive, and the fries were fantastic. Namely, The Jekyll Burger, was delicious and unique with the pimento cheese and pepper jelly. I ordered a medium rare steak with sides, of which the steak was cooked exceptionally, much talent! I would recommend you check this place out. My only suggestion is to have smaller plate ware for the steaks, to increase the perception of more food and the mashed potatoes and asparagus could've been more heavily seasoned, though that's my opinion. I thought it was lackluster compared to their burger and salad entree. Great location, lots of shops and nice places to sit or walk around after a meal.“

“Always the Best Food, drinks and people!! Thank you for all of it!!“

“Jimmy makes the best pizza in town! Always the best. Hits every spot, every time! Love the hot burrata!!“

“I must say that I like trail house great atmosphere very nice staff and professionalism is a 10. Great food aswell . Can’t wait to visit again soon.“

“Karaoke Thursday was awesome. Several very talented singers were in the house. The draft beer selection seemed extensive however several of the options were unavailable. Surprisingly there were no seasonal options such as pumpkin or Octoberfest beers. Our server was very attentive and kept our drinks filled throughout the evening. One low point was the food offerings. We ordered several items and everything seemed to be frozen and not freshly prepared in house. Specifically the chicken strips ordered were of good quality however were processed frozen strips. The burgers are angus grade according to the menu but are frozen. One positive note is they have tater tots. All of the food received was hot and prepared as expected. The prices for the food and beer are reasonable. Overall. A good time and a fun time.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere! Laid back and chill!!“

“We had a surprise birthday party for a family member today!! What a great time. We had use of the Queens room, The food was great as usual but I need to bragg especially in our server Jeanette. She was amazing she handled us all with efficiency and grace!! I know we drove her crazy but she was amazing!!!! Thank you John’s place for a wonderful time and again kudos to Jeanette !!!“

“This is our go-to place for good fast food and frozen custard. Servers are warm, polite, very friendly (shout out to Mariana). Food is great with ample servings - burgers, sandwiches, shrimp dinner and salads - it's good variety for a fast food place. Frozen custard especially the flavor of the day is always a real treat. We look forward to every visit in this location!“

“I came in for a quick lunch with my son and for him to work on some school work. He had the burger deal for Monday special which is a great deal for a lot of food. I had ordered something new which I wasn’t thrilled with but the waitress and the manager could not have been more helpful in fixing the situation and making sure I was happy with my meal. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Last edit: food is underrated, exceptional service

Edit: 5 stars strictly because of Alycia..who saved my experience

is it the bar or the dmv? why is the bartender leaving with my i.d and taking 5 minutes to verify it? came in yesterday around 5 p.m, so annoying.“

“Solange es Restaurants wie dieses gibt versuche ich die üblichen Burger-Ketten zu vermeiden! Der Service ist freundlich mit Herz, Humor und gut organisiert. Die Damen haben alles super unter Kontrolle. Das Essen wird auf Bestellung zubereitet, ist lecker und die Portionen reichlich. Das Ambiente passt und macht den Flair aus.“

“I typically enjoy the food. Fish always good. I have to tell them every time to fix my tenderloin tip veggies soft or they will be practically raw. My main complaint is Shika the girl who answers the phone to take your order has a getto attitude problem!!!! Why is she answering the phone? I do not understand because as the first contact she is not friendly but just rude!“

“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“

“Towne Tavern is our favorite local watering hole! The staff are super friendly and make the place, especially Amanda and Andie. The daily specials and bingo/music bingo give something fun to do. I work from home so getting out of the house for fun and hanging out with the locals is what it’s all about. We’ve been coming to the place for a while and think the food has been so much better under new management. Definitely check it out if you haven’t been!“
