I have been trying to think of the right words for this review. My mom dines here a lot so I need to be as gentle as possible. The town this restaurant is in does not have more than 5 restaurants other than fast food. Maybe even less than that. So, for this restaurant to be busy is understandable. The location it used to be was so cute and a place that was inviting. This location is in the middle of a run down Food Lion shopping center. No big deal as I have found some of the best hidden gems are found in places like that. The restaurant itself is mainly set up like a large diner. There are two separate huge rooms. It looks like it used to be some kind of theater or dance club or maybe an American Legion? The decor makes no sense and they still use handwritten tickets and you pay at the counter. It was definitely not very clean or neat and tidy. Not dirty where I wouldn't eat there, but ripped chairs and boxes in the halls. Still, none of this would have mattered. This restaurant definitely caters to fattening, hearty, soul food. I eat very healthy so it was hard for me me to find anything on the menu that I wanted. I chose the catch which was rainbow trout (never had it.) To be honest, I was afraid to try their salmon and tuna due to my high standards. The rainbow trout was not something I would order again but it was cooked well. The salad with it was a large size. My mom loved it while I found it just OK. She ordered chicken tenders and I could tell that they were homemade. I took a bite and they were delicious. I also took a bite of the macaroni and cheese and it was barely warm but had a decent flavor. The seafood platters and sandwiches people were getting looked really good. Like I said, you don't go here to eat healthy. My son had the pork chops here before and he loves them. My biggest concern was the lack of friendliness from our server (who was the owner.) No personality at all and I understand that she was busy but she acted as if I was annoying her by asking questions. I was thrown off by that. Maybe she was just having a bad day??? Anyways, come here for reasonable fattening food and don't expect a fancy, clean space. Don't expect great customer service but it's better than the fast food in town.
