Sides: Fried Okra, Sweet Potatoes and Mixed Green Salad. Dessert Chocolate Brownie Sundae. Everything was outstanding and we would highly recommend it. Our server Dori was the best!!!“

“We would like to thank the entire Pump House team for all their help from the first day we went to request information about holding our wedding at the restaurant. Thank you Zoe, Robbin and the waiters who attended to our guests with such professionalism that day, simple details that make the difference in what is good customer service. Even before the event began, the weather was not what we expected and Robbin was already calling me at 8:00 AM to give me the option of another of their rooms, something that gave me so much peace and helped calm my nerves from the rainy day. At 9:00 AM he was at the door waiting for MaxiEventos RD and Ivette Bautista de Gonzalez to help them and put at their disposal everything they needed for the decoration of the room and the cake. Your restaurant has left its mark with every detail of its staff and the beautiful views of the Catawba River on our special day. Mr. & Mrs. Francis we will be eternally grateful.“

“Sharon and Susan were both incredibly welcoming and kind! For my meal, I opted for the chicken chorizo hash with eggs over easy, accompanied by potatoes, peppers, onions, and cheese. I thought the dish could have been enhanced with some queso since it felt a bit dry (might have been because I left the salsa off). Although they offer the hangover hash, it doesn't include a biscuit. The biscuit 👌🏼 and the jelly they serve is truly exceptional. I also had the grits, which were definitely creamy and pretty good—probably some of the best grits I've had at a restaurant for sure. I decided to try the grilled macaroni and cheese, which was a baked and grilled version. While it was tasty, I believe it could have been more flavorful, but it was still enjoyable. My main issue was that the food on my breakfast plate wasn't warm enough; I prefer to see steam rising from my food. Despite that, everyone was very pleasant, and the menu is quite impressive. My only suggestion would be to ensure that the food is served hot and to pay attention to any lint on the plates from the drying process. Overall, it's a nice, straightforward breakfast spot with a unique menu.

Kid-friendliness: Most definitely.“

“I had lunch with a co-worker and omg.. the food was so good.“

“Chicken Salad Chick's chicken salad is top-notch, especially Dixie Chick and Barbie-Q. Dixie Chick is savory, while Barbie-Q offers a smoky, tangy kick. The friendly employees provided excellent service, making our takeout experience pleasant and seamless. Delicious flavors and great customer service make it a favorite spot.“

“🍴We finally made it to FM Eatery, and let’s just say—they know how to do comfort food with a creative twist! ✨ 🍔 Flip Daddy Burger – A double-stacked local wagyu beef burger loaded with crispy bacon, house pickles, sweet onions, lusty aioli, and melty American cheese. Every bite was packed with bold flavor and the perfect balance of richness and tang. The wagyu patty was tender, the toppings brought great texture, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. 🧇Fried Chicken & Waffle – A Southern classic, elevated. The hot honey gave it the perfect sweet heat, while the maple butter added a rich, indulgent touch. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the waffle had a great fluffy texture—this is a dish that hits all the right notes. 🍟 Fries – Lightly crisped and well-seasoned, the ideal pairing for both meals. From the warm atmosphere to the attentive service, everything about our first visit was a hit. Whether you're craving a high-quality burger or Southern-inspired comfort food, FM Eatery delivers. Highly recommend!“

“A GREAT Local Restaurant + Bar, friendly Staff. Some unique Menu items, too.“

“Found this Cafe while visiting the local Dmv. Please run to this place to eat. The food and staff are fantastic. The tomato bisque soup is awesome.“

“Friendly workers..great food“

“5 ⭐️ We came back to give this location another try; had a bad experience at the drive thru previously but the owner reached out to us, listened and seemed more than genuine in his distress. He promised that it would be better. He was right. Tonight we dined in—it was raining like crazy and we didn’t want to overload the drive thru. Diana was our server and she was delightful. Personable, efficient and caring. Our meal was perfect; the atmosphere was relaxed and happy and we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for asking us back; we will get back to our regular visits.“

“Great food, prices outstanding today!!!!“

“We were celebrating a friend's 60th birthday before a spa day. Our server, Caitlin, & service was great, prompt & food was delivered quickly... knowing we had spa appts. Just a little disappointed that the tuna sandwich was tuna salad but otherwise, everything was yummy!“

“I really like this place. I will come to this restaurant whenever I am in Matthews. The service was supreme - I got a Bisquit to go with Apple Butter. I didn't have to ask for the Apple Butter! Both the Bisquit and Apple butter were delicious. The Apple butter had a nice smooth tangy and spicy taste like they made it themselves. and they made sure I was taken care of quickly.“

“Everything was just great“

“good food and our waitress was great.“

“Love the entire Cracker Barrel cafe and love the shopping experience.“

“My daughter loves the Mac and cheese this is why we go , I am not such a big fan of the rest. But my problem is , everyone I order on the Mobil app, they never put in the condiments . Last time I ordered 2 salads , and 2 kids chicken meals . No dressing or chicken sauce in the bag at all. Now my kids won’t eat . I hate to hold up the drive thru checking they bag but i guess i have to of i ever go back“
