“Our server Lauren was excellent and the food great. My only concern was the employee sticking his hand in the gummy worm jar at the milk shake station. He did this twice, no gloves, yuck. This is how foodborne illnesses start.“

“We saw the sign on the way to Orlando and decided on our way back home we’d stop for lunch. We had no idea this place existed. Nice atmosphere, loved the memorabilia. Potato golf balls were delicious but our entrees were a little disappointing. Service was decent.“

“Used the golf simulator yesterday. Had a blast.“

“First visit to Christopher's Grill and Bar...and definitely not our last! We were able to enjoy their patio seating on this beautiful, sunny day. Had a smashburger with tator tots and kid's chicken nuggets and fries. Food was amazing!! Fresh, hot and delicious! Cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!“

“Great service and welcoming staff!!“

“Great food and service! Would recommend! Will be going back when we’re in town.“

“Amazing! Best chicken and waffles ever!“

“🍴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!“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the Experience. Food and Spicy Bloody Mary.“

“My daughter had her first prom this past weekend. I live out of state but I wanted to make sure her night was special. I spoke with Lynn Allen (general manager) she walked me thru buying a gift card and I was able to surprise my daughter and her date with dinner covered. Lynn (and the hostess I spoke with) were so friendly and helpful! My daughter said her dinner was amazing and can’t wait to visit again! So refreshing to have such friendly and professional staff to communicate with!“

“Try their Cuban sandwich. It is fantastic. Their wine selection is also, of course, exceptional too.“

“I went to Hobo's last night for a friend's birthday. We sat outside for karaoke. I have wanted to sing karaoke for awhile but I've always been way too nervous!! DJ Swin (please tag him!) did such an awesome job at hyping up the audience AND the singers! it didn't matter what your singing ability was he made you feel great about getting up there! People were being silly and having fun which is what karaoke is all about! So when my hubby asked me to sing with him I did! I got up there and actually had a lot of fun. So thank you for hosting this and thank you to DJ Swin for making this a really welcoming event! We'll be back!“

“Very good food changed my life“

“Quite a strange name of the place. Pelicans are avian of temperate weather zones. Snowballs are typically in a colder climate zone. So .. Mixing the two gives it a whimsical avant garde atmosphere. The kids love it. It's good.. It's a happy time and place. You must come here. Oh yes I dare say you must.“

“Seriously, we came here with minimal expectations only because hadn't ever been to this location be we were completely blown away. Our smoked wings were incredible, my wife's steak was amazing, and my ribs were out of this world! And not to mention the service. Holy cow! Chase was our bartender/server, and he was awesome. And Jeff, the manager, came to check on us a few times too. Both gentlemen were totally professional and very attentive. Overall fantastic experience here, would definitely recommend.“

“I stopped by once and didn't know how to get back, I just knew the food would be good.
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 .“

“This restaurant and bar is located inside the Cambria hotel. Pricing is very good. We ordered nachos, shrimp tacos, wings and blackened Salmon x2 for our party. The ONLY issue was the salmon was a bit dry, flavor still very good. Wings were big and meaty, cook perfectly. My friend said the tacos were great as were the nachos. Service was excellent as well. If I lived in the area, this is a place I would come for dinner!“

“They have outdoor and indoor seating. I wasn’t too impressed with the barbecue when I got it but they have a chicken meal that has jack cheese and bacon on top of it and it is delicious. But if you are sensitive to spiciness like me, tell them to use a different cheese!“

“Always has great food for breakfast or lunch“

“Everything is prepared fresh! Best chicken tenders ever! ❤️“

“Checked in late & didn't want to go out. Ordered a burger & it was delicious. It was served with a fresh ciabatta bun & garlic parmesan fries. Had the brownie with ice cream for dessert & it was also good. Service was also above par, especially as it was around 10pm“

“My new favorite place to get chicken tenders and a burger! The tenders are so perfect and even come with gluten free option so my husband can enjoy fried chicken again for once. There is an awesome waitress named Kyleigh who goes above and beyond for us when we visit; making sure my daughter and her friend get a milk shake treat that is both beautiful and delicious. We love it here“
