“Had a wonderful time. The food was great, the sweet tea was delicious, and the desserts were out of this world. I came from Rocky Mount to see Benjamin and Sam because I had worked for them years ago at Mariners Landing. But didn't get to see either one. Thanks Benjamin and Sam for a wonderful belated birthday brunch. Taylor our waitress was absolutely wonderful.“

“I love a good Waffle House and this one is the best. Very clean, friendly staff, good food. I went around 11 am with my Gramma. We ordered the cheese steak sandwiches with hash-browns and they came to us steaming. Coffee was good too, sometimes it’s burned at other WH but not this one. There was hardly anyone in there when we arrived, ate, and left.“

“We were finally able to try out these cheesesteaks since we live over an hour away, and as two picky foodies from the North (NY & NJ), this is the most legit one we've had outside of Philly by far. We WILL be back sooner than later. Don't sleep on this place! We can't wait to return!“

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. We got the ribeye with two sides each. The steak was cooked to perfection and was very tender. The loaded mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese were awesome.“

“Me and my family had an amazing time! Our waitress was named Chelsey and she was one of the kindest servers ever. She checked back at our table multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed and she even complimented us for being respectful to her and it was very special and nice of her. I also couldn’t decide what drink to have and she recommended Dr Pepper so I got that and was very pleased with that decision. The football was on and our food was hot and came out quick and we had a great time!“

Our attendant, Starla was great. Friendly and took good care of us.“

“We knew before arriving to add ourselves to the waitlist online to avoid a long wait being it’s newly opened and everyone is eager to get in. Upon arriving we waited a total of ten minutes if that were greeted and seated and our server came right for drink orders, suggested a few menu items for us as we waiting for our Texas onion appetizer, my husband decided to go for the outlaw ribeye with with mushrooms, broccoli and a Caesar salad. I went for the New York strip with broccoli mushrooms and a Caesar salad. From start to finish everything was fresh, the service was top notch and we even tried the strawberry cheesecake desert with real strawberries! We will return !“

“I'm not even kidding when I say this is the best experience I've ever had in a restaurant! And I've eaten at a lot! This was the Chili's in Lynchburg, Virginia. I cannot tell you how pleasant it was to dine alone and have such fine service from Wanda! She literally was meeting my every need before I ever even asked. I literally just thought it, and a refill showed up. I just thought how nice it would be to have a box for my leftovers, and here it comes. The thought flitted through my mind how great it would be to take some chips and salsa home and she literally walked out of the kitchen with an extra bag and a to go of Diet Coke that I hadn't even asked for, but I had thought of. She was stellar and I gave her a 200% tip! I've already texted all of my friends in town and told them this is where we're eating next time we go out, and I'm bringing my sons back next week for dinner one night. I'm going to ask for Wanda! Aside from the stellar service, the food was incredible! I don't think I've ever seen a burger this big! It was so much food, I took half of it home and will eat it for supper. And if you consider it two meals, it's literally cheaper than fast food. Wow! What a fantastic experience, and I WILL be back!“

“This IHOP is always crazy busy and understaffed. Despite that, the hardworking folks here always go above and beyond. We came in at one of the worst times, a Saturday mid morning rush, and besides that we were seated in leas than 3 minutes for a 2 too and had service within 5 minutes. Our guy was Justin, super friendly and managing multiple tables with minimal help. He was quick, friendly, and working hard. We had our meal in less than 20 minutes despite how crazy timings were. We saw him give each table time and patience despite how crazy and demanding each order was. Cool, calm, and collected, Justin kept a happy demeanor despite all adversity. We had a solid meal, excellent service thanks mostly to Justin, and more peace than expected in this lively environment. Whatever this IHOP is doing, keep doing so and please recognize the hardworking staff like Justin.“

“IT IS FREEZING IN HERE TODAY!! It’s ridiculous that we had to get our coats on to eat. Could you consider the comfort of your customers before you consider the comfort of the cooks? Just asking. Staff are wearing long sleeves and agreeing that it’s cold and admits to “standing near the heat lamps” to stay warm. “
