My husband heard some guys talking at work that this was a good place to eat. The food was good. Loved the salsa and chips. The food was served in a timely matter. The waitress (Heather) was kind and quick. She knew and described items on the menu. On a negative note it could have been more cleaner. Rugs were dirty, floors could have been cleaner, and the most problem was the napkins smelled like nasty grease. Overall, because of the food and Heather I rate this a 4.

This was an amazing surprise. The lady at the hotel nearby recommended it and upon walking in we weren't impressed. Tucked away in the back of a gas station and outdated decor, we almost walked out. Then we were greeted by the friendly courteous staff and decided to give it a try. Probably one of the best Mexican restaurant I ever ate at. Quick service, ice cold cervezas, and food packed with flavour with generous portions. What a great place!!!

We stopped here due to the reviews and convenient location off 95. Our first time ever to a 5 Guys and thanks to our favorable dining experience, probably not our last. We thought the burgers were juicy and absolutely delicious. The junior cheese burger more than enough for my wife an the big bacon cheeseburger was the limit for me. The fries were also tasty and very plentiful! I should have passed on the fries as I did not do them justice. So many! We had a very good meal and left fully satisfied. We recommend this place indeed.

My favorite place to stop when traveling. The lemonade is awesome in a frosted mug. Enjoy the catfish you can’t get up north. Breakfast is always delicious. This CB was really busy with Holiday shoppers taking advantage of the mark downs. Can’t say enough to praise this place.

Off I95 exit 11...quick bite during a road trip. Once was enough thank you. Pizza Crust looked good, cheese looked like an afterthought though... I used pepper flakes and got thru half a slice. Italian hoagie? With mayo not mentioned on the menu? Ugh. Waitress was VERY nice and got use another. Decent roll but way light on the innards. Fries crisp and hot. Oh and after done noticed something in the garlic shaker which we fortunately didn't use. Got me once. Just passing through.

Recommended by the hotel staff for a place to get a drink with dinner. The food was frozen fried food, nothing to wright home about. I would check other place in the area next time.

Wasn't sure what we were getting into when we discovered the restaurant. It is inside a Days Inn and not much to look at from the outside. Don't let that deter you. Friendly, warm staff will greet you. They will assist you in choosing your meal if you are not experienced in Mexican food. Prompt service and good margaritas (which I am experienced in.) Food melted in my mouth and was not spicy. Chile Pablano I believe it was called. Hubs had something with shrimp, chicken and beef. A burrito he thinks.

I had heard about the Bo Box all over the radio for years during southern travel. I was not impressed, Popeye's is better. I did not feel anything was what it should have been. I took back to my hotel just behind the Bojangles. The mac and cheese was tasteless and the fries would have been better with out the seasonings. It was a waste, although I like the sweet tea. The bean dry like they sat for ever and the chicken not juice. Forget it!

Farm to Fork is a rustic chic restaurant & full service catering company serving the Emporia community fresh, locally sourced meals with a southern soul flair.
Reviewed By Paul_from_VA - Virginia Beach, Virginia
It is a converted auto service station and it looks it from the outside. We came here because the Trip Advisor reviews sounded interesting. We the only guests in the restaurant or parking lot. When we ordered, the server needed our name for the ticket! Small place with one customer.
But the burgers were excellent. (We can't address the "farm" part of the menu. We chose to go with the simple comfort food.) Burgers cooked very well. Medium rare was medium rare. Large portions.
French fries were average.
Other customers arrived and everyone was very friendly to us as [clearly] strangers. This looks to be a nice place for the neighborhood and visitors.

It's a shame that when buying food it's already at a high cost, while standing in line waiting for a receipt we saw a Rat!! running around as if it wanted to greet us,ELk!!!! Disgusting and we told the cashier, and she was surprise and replied that they don't have Rats, but they do have Cats....that explains it all! I surely hope with the high prices food their serving maybe they would pay for an exterminator and get those nasty rodents out of there,before someone gets sick,or bit, or DIE. Who wants to eat at a place where they have Cats, that's very bad business and I wish I could have stayed long enough to snap a shot of that Rat's mug shot!!!! 2 less customers and if you don't want a problem you be careful.
