1. Davis Donut House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
"They have a variety of delicious donuts, cupcakes, coffee, and soda pop. Cakes are special order".
Reviewed By sueshop4 - Cocoa Beach, Florida
I tried these on the recommendation of a friend. They were very tasty. We tried the famous orange twist, cinnamon bun, apple fritter, choc covered raised glazed, choc. devils food cake, and of course glazed raised donut holes. My favorite by far wa the choc. devils food cake donut. I think it was actually lighter than the yeast donuts. All were good, don't get me wrong, I just like my raised donuts to be lighter. Second would probably be the cinnamon bun. The famous orange twist had a very nice flavor to it. It was very unique.

3. Don Ramon Mexican Restaurant

Reviewed By Leigh-Anna B - Forest City, North Carolina
Had to submit another review as this restaurant has really declined!!! Recent visits have resulted in very bad service and being served cold food. The restaurant overall is very noisy, mostly coming from the bar area. It is not a place to be able to sit, eat and carry on a conversation with a table mate. We will likely not be returning to this place anymore!

This is a hidden gem! Forest City is a beautiful little town. Smith's has incredibly delicious food and great service. Their menu is quite extensive and every plate I saw served showcased a plentiful amount of food. Try the Burnt Chimney, BLTS and the chicken salad. Everything looked good!

An eclectic blend of delicious American cuisines with a touch of Southwestern variety - specializing in our signature burgers, juicy steaks and savory pasta. Don't forget to check out the bar, where we have several locally brewed drafts, house wines and hand mixed cocktails you'll only find at the Copper Penny Grill!

7. Louie's Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 45 reviews
Reviewed By Lori704 - Boiling Springs, South Carolina
My family and I love going to Louie's. I've only had one pizza from here that I didn't like and that was the Sicilian thick crust. Everything else is delicious. I've had cheese pizza, carne pizza, several subs (tuna melt is my favorite), stuffed peppers, eggplant rollatini, lobster ravioli, and salads. Oh, and don't forget to order garlic rolls. If you're lucky they may have tiramisu or cheesecake for dessert.
Service is always friendly and attentive. This place may not look like much, but the owner is friendly. Food is made to order so sometimes you have to wait if they're busy.
