"The burgers were large, juicy, and packed with flavor. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection, and the chips were both fun and delicious. We also tried the chicken and onion rings, all served with various homemade sauces that were quite tasty. The onion ring sauce had just the right amount of kick, while the sauce for the sweet potato fries was sweet without being overwhelming—an excellent pairing with the fries. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and will definitely visit again the next time we’re in the area."

"WOW! Grandma's house. Beautiful restaurant in historic cotton mill building. Fall of the bone ribs , eastern but not your drive thru pulled pork unique and definitely an old family recipe it is not your customary simple vinegar based , so don't hate if get something you expected and it is different. Explore how others down easy did it at their house. Clarrards were deveined, a must.... Cornbread has corn in it. To top of off my host/server Vontrell was amazing as well."

"My family and I've been customers there for a while now. The first time there they forgot something on my mom's order. He gave her the missing items they next time she came back. So we thought no problem. We always spend $60+. I always get the #2 family meal for my children that's what they always eat. Last month, I called in and pickup in drive thru. Got home, realized they forgot 2 items from that order. On top of that my food I ordered was cold. I couldn't warm it up because it had sour cream, lettuce, guac and pico on it. I called the manager which is really a nice guy. Complained of the issue. I was told he'd give me 2 large bag of chips and throw in some queso. That was a month ago. Tonight was treat night Mexican of course. I went in instead of drive thru. I mentioned it to the manager about items missing with my last order and he didn't remember saying that and he knows my name. Which I'd think you were suppose notate things like that. However, sadly to say, tonight they lost 7 customers. I order family meal, and three other menu items. I spent $80 tonight only for my daughter to find hair in the burritos under the cheese. I called the manager again expressing my concern and he made it seem like the hair was mine b/c he didn't know how it could've gotten there. He said his cooks wore hats and face mask. I'm a very honest woman I have no need to get over on anyone. Me and my daughter's hair are braided. Ask yourself, a place you always go, food you've craved and spent that kind of money, why would you put straight black hair in it. My children lost their appetite. How would that benefit a hungry household. Oh and the rice had some type of plastic looking thing in it. The pics are attached also. Very upset, hate for them to loose our business but my husband and I motto is 3 strikes, you're out."

"Once seated, we hoped the food wouldn't take as long as it did last time, especially after waiting so long for our reserved table. However, after ordering drinks and food, we waited over an hour and a half for our meals. At that point, it was already 8:30 PM, and we asked if there was any bread available since we hadn't expected to still be without dinner. The waitress informed us they had cornbread for $0.75 each, which felt quite ridiculous after everything else. To make matters worse, the waitress came back to inform us that one of the meals we ordered was unavailable after we had already waited so long. It was baffling that this wasn’t addressed beforehand! Another concerning sign was that everyone around us was still waiting for their food as well, with some visibly frustrated customers even getting up to leave. Our meals finally arrived around 8:50 PM. I had ordered a salad with chicken, and the waitress mentioned it was still being prepared—despite it being just a salad. Twelve minutes later, after the rest of our party had already started eating, my salad finally arrived. What shocked me most was the complete lack of apologies or concern regarding our poor experience. Simple gestures like apologies, good customer service, or even offering bread or appetizers could have made a big difference, but that didn’t happen here. I strongly advise against dining here unless you enjoy poor treatment and waiting over two hours for mediocre food. I did hear from some at the table that the mac and cheese was good, but judging by the other reviews, it seems this was just another typical night for them—where the customer is always wrong!"

"for beginners. the food was great! I mean, maybe it was the best burrito I had from any restaurant. I ordered the carne asada burrito without guacamole. it had steak, salat, reis and pico de gallo, and I tell you. it was huge! I could only finish half of it and it was soouo satisfying. my bf ordered a chickenfajita queensadilla. it was huge and they didn't skip you in the ingredients inside. it was loaded with huh, cheese and not too hard on the veggies. the chips and salsa were also really good. we also ordered margaritas. I had a frozen strawberry and he had a pfirsichmargarita on the rocks. was quite strong and my was really tasteful. we are completely satisfied and cannot wait to go back. my NUR complaint is that they seemed like they were a bartender. it took forever for us to get our drinks and our server ended to go into the bar and make our drinks. that lasted 15-20 minutes. it was certainly the waiting door. my goodness!"
