“This little place is almost about the halfway point between Richmond VA and Sunset Beach NC. We have been stopping there for years both ways. The food is simple but absolutely delicious. Nice touch with the malt vinegar on the tables for fries. If you are passing through it is a must-try and you may become a regular as we have.”

The service is great, the food is delicious and the staff are friendly. it is a small place and there was a wait, but I was alone so I sat right down at the bar. But this would absolutely be worth whatever the wait would have been. Highly recommend this authentic Mexican restaurant.”

I don't have time to run all the way back. just threw away my biscuit because was frustrated and disgusted.”

“The food at our wedding was absolutely amazing — we are still getting compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was! Will and his team were such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Will went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was perfect, not only for us but for all of our guests. The service was seamless, the presentation was beautiful, and the food exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer! Thank you guys!”

“I went to Something Different with 2 friends today, my first time coming here. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. If you like a restaurant with loud, blaring music and too much noise and crowded with loud people, this is not the place for you. The food was outstanding. The pricing is on par with other places, unless you are wanting to pay McDonald’s prices. The tables had white table cloths, the people were so nice, and it was QUIET!!!! The music was soft, not loud, etc. I had the chicken salad sandwich, and it was perfect. Needless to say, I will definitely be back!!”

Pizza • $
“This is by far the best pizza I've gotten in Wilson or actually anywhere lately. Very thick crust with a sweet taste to the bread and pizza sauce. We got a bacon pizza and there was lots of bacon on top. Lots of cheese and not overly done with sauce like some places. We got a medium pizza and it was only $8.35, unbelievable for that quality of pizza. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.”

“Had a few options to pick from for Italian. Dropped in here.
The fried mushrooms had an appreciated thicker crust and not too watery. The marinara was fantastic.
The Amore was the best of the night. Good bites of shrimp and thinly cut sausage.
My only dislikes were the garlic bread (not enough garlic for my taste, floppy) and the pasta with the Amore tasted a bit bland.
Last thought is the cheesecake was a proper, big slice and creamy.
Otherwise, attentive service and good food. I'll be coming back.”
Chinese • $
“Hidden gem of a mainstream Chinese fastfood in Wilson NC. Very tasty food. The atmosphere could use updating though but I am here for the food. Ordered general tso with shrimp fried rice.”

“I recently stopped at the McDonald’s in Wilson, North Carolina, off I-95 to use the ChargePoint fast chargers in the parking lot. While this review is primarily for the charging station, I’ll note that the McDonald’s was cute, clean, and had friendly service.
Regarding the ChargePoint station, stall number two’s CCS connector was broken and wouldn’t latch to my car, but stall number one worked fine. Unfortunately, the charging speed topped out at 67 kW instead of the advertised 125 kW, which was disappointing. Despite this, I charged up and took the opportunity to add the station to Google Maps for future users. It’s convenient to have fast chargers here, but the city of Wilson needs to address these issues to ensure the chargers meet expectations.”

“We stopped in at 4:30 pm on 02/18/25 for dinner. We were welcomed by waitress Labrie W or Known as B.B she was very friendly and assertive with our order. We always ask questions about our order. She was only on the job for 3 days. Let me tell you, for 3 days on the job as a waitress she gave us a great experience. Applebee's should retain such talent for future employment. Great job B.B be proud, you are a great employee. don't change, stay friendly and be you, you will go a long way in this business. We will come back because of your great customer service. See you again. Terry & Norma
