1. Gary's Barbecue

All the locals know where to go for great barbecue....Gary's. The hush puppies are incredibly crispy on the outside but tender, moist and delicious on the inside. The home-made banana pudding is a perfect ending to a great meal. The only problem you will have is deciding what entree to have. The trademark barbecue chicken special, a hearty hamburger steak platter, sandwiches,Brunswick stew filled with awesome savory vegetables and meat or the smokey,perfectly seasoned barbecue that Gary's is famous for.

If you are looking for a home cooked meal then look no further. Visit the China Grove Restaurant for a verity of great food and friendly wait staff and atmosphere. If you are looking for sea food they have the best salt & pepper flounder and shrimp that is enough food for two. So visit and enjoy!!

Definitely average! Nothing special about the place, food or atmosphere. The wait staff is very nice and I know it is a locals favorite, but I would recommend finding a place that serves better food.

This was my second visit, my friend's fourth. This is possibly some of the best Mexican food in the area. Margaritas were ok, nothing special. But the food? Bueno!
Enchiladas Especiale, Chicken Flautas, and Chicken Enchalada Chimichanga. We cleaned out plates, but no room left for dessert. Maybe next time we'll start with dessert!

Hard to find restaurant even though it's located right on Main. Look for the purple awning... Even using Google directions I passed it twice. The owners work here and are super friendly. Food is made fresh to order and it's delicious. The noodles are fresh and made in the restaurant. Hibachi steak is out of this world. Prices are good. Will be back.

Brian's is a simple and delicious hometown burger kind of place. Stopping at Brian's gives you the feeling you just jumped back in time forty years... in all the right ways.

The food is great. The specials that they have on Sunday's are wonderful. The food is cooked and seasoned, just like it was home cooked. The prices are reasonable. The service is quick and the atmosphere is nice. The waitress are kind and helpful. The building is up to date. The salad bar has everything that you would want on a salad. Mostly local people visit the restaurant, but it is good for travelers too.

My co-workers took me to this restaurant saying they liked it and I should try also. Nice location, close to the RR tracks but not noisy. Server was very friendly and quickly took our drink order. Several daily specials were on the board or you could order from the menu. I had the fish basket, which comes with fries and hushpuppies. Couple of nice sized white fish and tasty also. Server kept a check on us and didn't let the glasses run dry, which I like. Located just off I-85 at Webb Rd exit so stop in and have some lunch.
I will suggest trying this location again.

Don't judge a book by it's cover! If you are used to snazzy breakfast locales, you'll be disappointed in the decor at Jimmie's. It's a classic american diner through & through. From the minute you walk in & are greeted warmly, you'll feel like you're visiting an old friend or family member. The service is awesome! The food is classic breakfast items for a great price!!

I do take out mostly and always have my orders correct. I enjoy getting stuffed crust and thin. I would like to suggest you having stuffed crust in medium. I only have one in my family that likes that. The food is generally good. Last few times Pizza on thin crust just seems to be blah. Not sure what is going on. I got Pizza last week and my husband opened the box and turned his nose up and I asked him what was wrong and he said they have just got where it is not good like it used to be. No freshness to it; never any pepperoni on it just a few under cheese
