So the day that I found out about this place a picture had come across my FB timeline. I inquired about it and immediately called to check their hours. During the week the girl said they are open 12:30pm – 9pm (just FYI) and i went THAT SAME DAY and placed my order for the picture that I saw! – I plays no games when it comes to food, especially salads and let..me..tell..you…their salads are the truth! They load you up on meats so its not just a bunch of lettuce and the food is fresh. If you go on your lunch break (as with any restaurant) i recommend calling ahead to place an order but well worth the wait. Prices are very, very reasonable for the amount of food they give you. Only been once so far but plan to visit often. Lovely staff, clean environment. If you’re not paying attention from Two Notch its very easy to fly past this place but its between the “This Is It” and the Gas Station pictured.

This review is based off me ordering chicken tenders and fries . Fish plate. The tenders were literally Tyson frozen . The honey mustard was good. Lady at the front counter was pleasant. However her assistant was unpleasant, you can tell she doesn’t want to be there. I’m from Charlotte and this experience I wouldn’t recommend. My cousin said the fish was under seasoned

Food was delicious!! We had got a platter of 50 wings and cheddar bacon fries!! It’s a small family owned restaurant that you’ll probably by pass, but to me those are the best ones. My group and I sat down and ate but next time I’ll most likely take out. I’ll definitely go back soon! & probably try their salad I’ve heard so much about..

Called @9:38pm and asked when they were closing and the lady clearly stated 11pm. I pulled up 20 minutes later and a man told us they were closed but the closed sign was not up, music was blasting, and people were at the bar. I told him I had just called and a lady stated they were not closing till 11pm & he couldn’t even say anything. I was highly upset I wasted time driving for them to be “ closed “. Why have hours put up & staff confirm hours if it’s incorrect?

We’ve been twice so far and the food we purchased was great. The loaded baked potatos are dam good. The hotdogs are juicy and the chili is on point. The fries and the loaded fries.. Oh yeah and the chicken tender basket!! Yes!! I also had their chicken salad and the difference is really good. Go check them out. A Small Place with Big Taste!! My Son had the hotdog basket and when he finished, he wanted another basket for later.

I ordered 2 hot dog, wing, and fries combo. My receipt as soon as I paid came to my phone at 1:57pm. The lady at the front counter was VERY nice. She told me the food would be out in “15 mins”, which I was more than okay with. CHILEEEEEEEE why I waited for a whole hour. I did not leave until after 2:50pm. I ended up asking for a refund but she said “yours is right here” She then said “orders come out the way they are placed, I can’t move an order ahead of another.” I never asked her to do anything of that nature. Do not tell your customers 15 mins if it looks as if the kitchen is not prepared to get things out in that time frame. If I knew it was an hour, I would’ve left, did what I had to do or come back another day. That little shenanigan on top of the sweet chili on the hot dog is why it’s a 2 star … nice vibe there but no ma’am.

I haven’t tried this amazing food I heard about since their hours and communication are so inconsistent. They posted that they were closed on Saturday (9/12) but stated that they would open the following Monday (9/14). I tried to call but the number is no good and also messaged them on FB, with no response. I decided to try anyway an they were NOT open. I really think they could use a class on how to effectively run a business!

Went into this Family owned business and they treat you just like family I love family oriented business and patronizing businesses that make you feel welcomed. Order salads to go definitely get your money worth + more . Thanks Sandy we will definitely be returning although it’s a commute for us it’s definitely worth the trip ❤️

I wouldn’t recommend. Their online menu is nothing like their in person menu…..no soul food at all. Just “bar” food. And they couldn’t even give me change for a $20. Don’t waste your time. None of them had on a mask either.
