Good food and good service. By myself, they always seat me in the bar area. I like the rolls but ask for regular butter instead of honey butter. The BBQ sauce in amount and taste is not consistent. I guess I just need to ask for extra.

Since they opened, I have never had anything there I have not liked. I especially love their grilled chicken and grilled vegetables. Their Hoppin' Juan is also delicious. Love to sit down near the river. As the name indicates, everyone is friendly there. Great service, too.

Visiting a friend and we stopped in for lunch. Extensive menu,reasonable prices and friendly staff.You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. My friend and I both ordered chicken salad. It was homemade and delicious, as was the iced tea. This is strictly a lunch place ,open 10-3, Mon-Fri. It's definitely worth a visit.

Great local restaurant. Only open till 3 PM. The hot dogs are excellent, best in town. Cheeseburger was good, but hot dog is much better. Locals know the place, but I accidentally found it. Only lived in the area 12 months. I WILL be back. Looks like they are open for breakfast, probably well worth it. I will try it, my guess is basic traditional breakfast which is hard to find. Sat at the bar, had tables in the back, enjoy

This is one of our favorite spots for Friday night family pizza. Love the New York style crust. Chicken wings are super good. We get it delivered and it is still pretty good, can only imagine how delicious it is in store. Hear they have delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert ;-)

I love the sausage, egg, cheese English muffin there. On June 28th, it tasted great but was above lukewarm. The hash rounds were cool. Tea was awesome! Parking lot clean and service was exceptional. Even though the food was not hot, it still tasted good :)

We walked here from Catawba Brewing. Quaint house. Intimate setting. The food was delicious. Reasonably priced. The only complaint is portion sizes. I guess I'm a typical American to be complaining about this, but portions are slightly smaller than expected. Everything from only getting 2 rolls and 2 pea-sized balls of butter for the two of us, on through the dessert which was a rather small piece of pie. Anyway, I would totally go back. For Morganton, this is a VERY RARE kind of place, that you'd really only find in larger cities like Asheville or Charleston SC. The food was top-notch as was the service.

Not sure what everyone sees in this place, as we waited to get in for 20 minutes. Was expensive - at least $2 more than Golden Corral - and if you wanted coffee or juice it was an addittional charge. So I had just water and was $9.80 andd mu husband had coffee so his was $11.50. Buffet was disappointing just the usual and nothing special. You could order off the menu which was probably the thing to do. We will not be back.

We were excited to give this restaurant a try for a casual Thursday night family dinner. The restaurant had roughly 5 occupied tables while we were there. The food was good! There were a number of things that inspired this review. The appetizer was never delivered (or mentioned); we were not charged. The table service was inattentive. The restrooms needed work: toilet did not flush, water was scalding hot, wall paper was torn up, and the floors were dirty. Perhaps we caught them on an bad night, but our impression from the ambiance was less than average.
