Had dinner for the first time at this fantastic restaurant while visiting family near Gastonia. What a great experience! From the unique, creative decor of the old converted movie theatre, the delicious meal and the fantastic service from Mikaila, our server. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

We have been coming here for years. The food is consistently good, but never knock-your-socks-off fantastic. The sushi is fresh and the entrees are large and presented beautifully. The new location is well-done and has become a very popular place with the locals. A very good choice for Asian food in this area!

they give you a lot for your money. The hamburgers are really huge and cooked fresh to order. They only take cash though, no Credit cards, but well worth the trip.

A hole in the wall kind of place; we had the pulled pork plate with cole slaw, potato salad and hush puppies. It was awesome; served with home made vinegar sauce. Price very reasonable, big portions.
We will be back to try ribs and beef brisket.

We had called the Texas Roadhouse the day before (Dec. 23rd) to see what time they would be open on Christmas Eve. Was told they would be open until 7:00. We got into town, did some other things and arrived at the restaurant after checking in at the Hampton Inn just a few minutes after 6:00. Was told they changed their minds and closed early. We pled our case to them since they had told us 7:00 the day before, and they seated us at the bar and took care of us. They really didn't want to, but they did. We ordered salads, ate quickly and got out before others in the place even had their food. So, overall pretty good experience, salads were good, and and they gave us a 10% hotel discount too, so all ended well. Very nice location for the Hampton Inn, you walk less than 50 yards right into the front door.

I love this place for lunch or dinner or Sunday after church for brunch. It's my "go to" place with business acquaintances, family visiting, meeting friends for lunch, or a family meal. Sushi is excellent, salads are tasty, meals are attractive, fashionable and tasty. I recommend everything !

I love the chicken but to me its some what a little high. They serve everything on paper plates. You get a large piece of chicken and hushpuppies are round and ok. Tea is pretty good. Some days are pretty busy depending on the time you go so if your going around lunch time be prepared to wait a while to order.

Went on a Sunday and got there at 12:15. Usually no wait or 5 minutes at the most. Waiting area was packed and we were told 20-25 minutes. We started noticing all the empty tables and booths and I asked the hostess which was very nice and I was told a couple of servers did not come in. Someone also told me the person who does the pot pies also laid out. We were seated in about 30 minutes but food was good and so was our server.

Will's Doggn' it is a great little deli with high quality meats. They have several sandwiches and hot dogs featuring Boars Head brand products. It's a small location with very limited seating and a small parking lot. So I'd recommend carpooling and getting there before or after the main lunch rush. Their sandwiches are stacked high and loaded with meat. I will definitely be back, and soon!
