Four friends dined here. Service was superb.
Summer rolls were absolute best we've ever had. We said we were new to Vietnamese food, so we needed guidance. I was a bit disappointed in the guidance. Three people ordered Pho noodles. Large portions. Great tasting broth. Two people added too much hot sauce that was on the table, so their entrees were less than great. It's a slow burn, so use it sparingly until you figure out how much you want.
Chicken and meatballs were good. Beef had gristle in it. When I go again, I'll definitely do Pho with either chicken or meatballs.
I ordered rice/beef entree, which was extremely bland. The owner said it was one of the most popular dishes. I'm not sure if it was an off night or if people in this area like bland, chewy food, but I wouldn't order it again.
The place is small. It was full, but no one had to wait in line on a Wednesday night.
This is a new place with different food that I think is worth a try. Right now, I rate it average, but that could change with more guidance on sauces or as I learn more about Vietnamese food.

fastest fast fast food place in town. This locally owned. There are many to choose from. Order is right all the time. You can not ask for more friendly and polite people.

I went there tonight because of a good friends recommendation. I ordered our usual Sausage, Pepperoni, Mushroom and Banana Peppers. It was a little high for the pie. The staff was friendly, but Little Italy in Bristol by far is the best around. But for Gray I would rate it the best.

This place could be a movie set for a traditional Q joint. I had their ribs and they were first rate, and so, btw, was the beans and slaw. Very friendly folks. Recommend it if you're passing through.

Reviewed By Jim R - Walton, New York
in an area filled with fast food and chain restaurants, this was a great find while we were traveling. I went with their special dog with cheese, chili and Cole slaw, and it was great - not for eating while driving, however. My wife opted for their chicken salad, and it was some of the best I've tasted. Just a small place but very friendly.

The bread is always fresh, the people are always friendly, and food is always good. What more could you want from Subway? This is not true with every location, but this one is top notch, and I go here all the time.
9. Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 311 reviews
Reviewed By Simon W - Nashville, Tennessee
Cheddar's is a typical American chain serving lots of 'favorities' with a typically oversized menu. The restaurant itself appeared to be fairly new and was clean. It reminded me a bit of Applebees in vibe, with a lot of autographed photos on the walls and other sporting references.
The food itself was ordinary and the server had our check on the table about halfway through us eating our entrees. We would enjoyed another drink, but we just decided to call it there.
There are a lot of options around here and I think you could do better at exploring those.

This is a GREAT "hole in the wall", home cooking' restaurant. Comfort foods are very tasty and very economical. Daily specials are offered. I frequently get one of the best bacon cheese burgers I've ever had in nay restaurant. And you can finish off with a home cooked dessert !! Cash only - breakfast & lunch only !!!
