After driving 5 hours, I was looking for a good steak. The hotel I was staying at in Wilson, North Carolina, told me I had to drive 30 miles for a steakhouse. After doing a Google search, I found Pups Steakhouse, which was only 5.4 miles from where I was staying. Upon pulling in, I did not think anything much about the entrance other than how inviting and cute it was, near Food Lion. It was a Friday night. I found a seat comfortably at the bar. Immediately I was greeted and was able to give my drink and food order to the bartender. The service was excellent, and the food came out very fast. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly. The asparagus was delicious and the baked potato was spot on! The glass of Chianti I had with my meal was delicious. After I boxed up The remaining of my meal I headed to the back patio upon a servers suggestion. I was blown away. The atmosphere was just sublime after a 5 Hour Drive. It was relaxing and Kris was so inviting! She told me all about the Restaurant and the area of Wilson, NC. She made me feel right at home and never neglected any of my needs while I sat there, listening to an amazing singer. I travel between Georgia and Baltimore at least every other month. This will now be my go to stop. Food service atmosphere they have it all! Thank you for an enjoyable experience and thank you, Kris!!

DO NOT ORDER DRAFT BEER FROM THIS LOCATION This location hasn’t had their beer lines clean in a while and you can definitely tell. You can see little specs floating in the beer.

Man O Man! Y’all, this dinner was delicious!! This was our first of many more visits to come. We just moved to the area and wanted a nice steak dinner. I ordered the 6 oz. Fillet with lemon butter crab on top, the absolute best green beans I’ve ever had, and a baked potato. My hubby had the prime rib with green beans and a loaded baked potato. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, the flavor was on point and the portion size was just right. We enjoyed a some fresh, warm bread and butter before our meals arrived with our cocktails. The drinks were pretty good too! Our server was nice. She was attentive and punctual. This really was a superb meal! Me and my family will definitely be back for more!

We arrived at 7pm on a Saturday and didn’t finish eating until 10pm. They had to take our drink orders twice, didn’t get our drinks until 45 minutes of being there. My friend ordered a dirty martini and it tasted like ocean water. The hour and a half we waited for our food after waiting 45 minutes for the drinks they came back to tell us that they had run out of almost all the sides. When we finally got our food my ribs were horrible and my sides were cold, the Brussels sprouts I had were mostly burnt and inedible. The sweet potatoes I had were so cold they were sticking together and had no seasoning or butter. It was my first and last time eating here.

We were from out of town, Wilson is my home town, so I was aware of some of the cultural things going on. My wife is from New York, she noticed first, there was no reception desk like most restaurants. It had the feeling of a country club atmosphere. Then the receptionist said, ," There will be a 30 minute wait. It was a Wednesday evening around 4pm. We left!

Very relaxing atmosphere with lots of good foods to choose! Flounder was excellent!
The staff was friendly. The atmosphere is nice. The tuna appetizer was phenomenal. My husband's shrimp and grits were eh. Soupy and no flavor. I had the crab cakes. Huge portion. Kind of bland, but the side veggies were ok. Overpriced for underwhelming food. Would maybe go for tuna appetizer again. Or to try the tuna entree.
