“Service was good, when the lettuce wrap option for their cheese burger was no longer available, the waitress came back out and notified me. We were able to adjust the order to fit my allergy and still enjoy the meal.Good American dinner style of food.”
“A Symphony of Smoke: A Culinary Journey at Smoke Pit BarbecueIn the heart of Salisbury, North Carolina, amidst whispers of barbecue bliss, lies a culinary haven known as Smoke Pit Barbecue. Guided by the fervent recommendations of local friends, we embarked on a flavorful expedition, eager to savor the essence of true Southern barbecue.As we crossed the threshold of this gastronomic sanctuary, I was met with a surprising dichotomy. The modernist allure of Smoke Pit, with its sleek interior and contemporary accents, danced in harmony with the rustic charm expected of a barbecue sanctuary. Adorned with the vibrant creations of local artists, the walls whispered tales of community and culture, setting the stage for an unforgettable feast.Seated promptly by the effervescent Daisy, our journey began. With each glance at the menu, anticipation swelled within me, fueled by the promises of succulent brisket and smoky delights. Despite a slight misstep in communication, where my yearning for onion rings was lost in translation, the culinary voyage pressed on.In the company of cherished friends, we embarked on a symphony of flavors, each dish a crescendo of taste and texture. My chosen muse, the Brisket sandwich on a brioche canvas, beckoned with tender whispers of smoke-kissed perfection. Though marred by a lingering vein of fat, the brisket exuded a melody of flavor that danced upon the palate, a testament to the artistry of Smoke Pit's craft.Beside me, my wife reveled in the indulgence of a brisket-loaded baked potato, its hearty embrace a testament to the decadence of Southern comfort. As our friends delved into the BBQ mixer platter, a cornucopia of barbecue delights, laughter mingled with the heady aroma of smoked meats, weaving memories as intricate as the flavors before us.Amidst the clinking of glasses and the laughter of companionship, Smoke Pit Barbecue transcended the realm of mere dining, becoming a tapestry of shared moments and cherished memories. For in the alchemy of good food and great company, bonds are forged and stories are woven, each meal a chapter in the epic saga of friendship.Though Smoke Pit Barbecue may have faltered in the pursuit of ambiance, its soulful offerings and warm hospitality earned it a place in our hearts. With a variety of sauces adorning our table like treasures waiting to be discovered, each bite was a revelation, a testament to the culinary prowess that resides within these hallowed walls.In the tapestry of life, where flavors intertwine and memories are etched upon the palate, Smoke Pit Barbecue stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, beckoning travelers and locals alike to partake in its savory symphony. For in the embrace of good food and good friends, true magic is found, a sentiment that lingers long after the last bite is savored.Rating: A-Thomas CorraoWe are a couple traveling around the USA in our RV.

“Has the cod platter, cod was freshly fried with good flavor and very tasty, I always like crinkle fries and the coleslaw tasted almost like my mother in law's which I always thought was the best I ever had. Wish there was a Culver's near me. I will go back again when I am in Sali, NCWheelchair accessibility: I am a senior citizen and saw other customers in wheelchairs so I assume there is handicap availability”
“Vegetarian options: Also vegan selection! Chef went out of his way to make us vegan spicy mayo without our asking to go with our (vegan) dumplings, which were amazing!!”
“I have loved everything I've tried here. You can't go wrong with Salty Caper Pizza! Tried the Sgabei & it's amazing! We have to have some every time we're ”
“Our family of four came into downtown Salisbury to attend the Nutcracker performance at Catawba College. We do not live locally so we didn't prepare for the demand on local restaurants that evening. Without reservations, we were unable to be seated at two other nearby restaurants. My husband walked into Carpe Vinum and despite having no reservations and a quick timeline (45 minutes) they were able to seat us at the bar. The bartender was very pleasant and accommodating. Through her service and the kitchen's quick response, we enjoyed a wonderful meal and never felt rushed. My daughters loved their espresso martini and aperol spritz. Between the four of us, we enjoyed a grilled wedge salad, a caesar salad, lobster bisque, sliders, tuna bites and fried shrimp. It was all wonderful! Thank you again for a great dinner and the hospitality. We will be back!”
“You know, for a place named Breakfasttime you'd think it would be a joke but in fact they actually serve delicious breakfast! All the time! Like, it's breakfast time...ALL the time! And it's delicious!”
“When your tired of the fast food norm.....like I am I try hole in the wall spots all the time and this one, was different. Small quick and easy menu, reminds me of in and out.....and the service and atmosphere are great. Staff is welcoming and the historic feel of the place brings you a small town feel. I got the hotdog and cheeseburger all the way......fast service and it's done right in front of you. I would have preferred more of a seer on the burgers and a little more snap on the dog......reminds me of a meatball/pulled beef formed into a patty. Little seasoning would also help with the bland flavor, but overall I would rate the overall experience a 7.2 out of 10.”
“Came to Koco Java for a partial work day with a friend and loved the ambience! The staff was friendly and the americano & muffin were fantastic. Highly recommend this spot!”
“One of our "go-to" places for Mexican food. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service is prompt, staff are friendly and they checked in with us several times.”
“We absolutely love the Grove Cartel. They have a wonderful atmosphere, staff, food and beverages. We go routinely to either eat upstairs or sit and relax downstairs. They often times have live music, music bingo, and other activities to involve the community. A definite must try!!! You will not be disappointed!!”
“I had crystal j as a waiter and she was amazing all smiles, sweet, very kind! She made my experience 10x better because she was so nice!Kid-friendliness: Everyone’s super nice and friendly in there.”
“We had so much fun at Vibez watching the NCAA March Madness games Saturday night! The pork belly quesadilla was amazing! We will definitely be back! The owner came to chat with us too! We had a blast!”
“This place is amazing I have never tasted anything like their macaroons at Tita’s cake house! I would definitely recommend for a sit down relaxing place to eat a sweet treat!”
“We ate here Sunday for our 2nd time.. absolutely AMAZING food.. real food.. not over cooked frozen processed garbage you get from most restaurants these days!! Would highly recommend them.. get the broccoli.. you’ll thank me later!!!”
“My partner and I found this place around 3 months ago and have made it a regular visit for getting outside of Charlotte. The food is the best I’ve had for a bar setting and the drinks are just a bonus. Love seeing something new every time we come. The variety and creativity really make this place stand out. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot stress enough how enjoyable our experience and food were. Attentive service, great food, and great conversation with the staff. 10/5Edit: If you hate coconut like I do, definitely go for the mango sticky rice. It was so good and custard-like. Amazing. No essence of coconut whatsoever.”
“I got the Pollo House Burrito and it was really good. It's a very good portion size. I added queso to the top of mine, yummy! My waitress was friendly and kept checking on me.”
“Una excelente adición a Salisbury. El restaurante estaba un poco escondido, pero tiene amplio estacionamiento para encontrarse con mucha familia. Es difícil encontrar restaurantes Mexicanos con buen sazón. Aquí si hay sazón. El arroz era arroz 100% Mexicano, húmedo y con el saborcito a knorr. Nada seco amigos. También los platos son de porciones muy generosas. Me encanto el chile relleno. La calabacita al lado estaba deliciosa y en verdad no se ve en otros restaurantes. Me pareció un plato muy hogareño y auténtico con este elemento. Nos preguntaron si queríamos salsas que pica y no fallaron. Aunque tienen mucha clientela estadounidense si se puede comer con gusto y en confianza aquí como Mexicano. Lo digo porque a veces en busca de comida Mexicana de alto rating é tenido la experiencia de que la comida es desabrida y para un paladar americano - Y no se ve ningún hispano en la clientela . Aquí todos los empleados parecían ser de habla hispana y nos atendieron muy bien en ambos lenguajes. Ya hay planes para regresar y introducir a nuestros amigos y familia este restaurante. Le deseo buena suerte a este negocio.”
“My son and I had dinner and loved everything we ate. It was too much food, but we wanted to try a lot, so we shared the tropical sampler, garlic shrimp, olives, fried potatoes, beans and rice, and flan. He hadn't eaten Cuban food before and was very impressed. The atmosphere and decor is really special. They also have a great choice of beer on tap, wine, and cocktails.”
“Such high quality food. Its a well loved lunch for the entire office. The best part is that I dont feel poorly when eating it because its all such nutritional and fresh ingredients. We all get the wraps.”
“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years now since we found the place. Hands down our favorite Mexican cuisine in the area; the birria and street tacos are incredible and they have the best horchata. Service is always great, and food never takes long.”
“I had never heard of this place and certainly didn't realize it was a chain until pulling it up on Google Maps. I ate here on Friday and it was spectacular. I was very happy with the pancakes and the livermush+egg+cheese sandwich. I also had a bite of hashbrowns and country fried steak. I highly recommend this place because not only was the food great, but the service was wonderful and the price was right.”
“NY Slice and a salad for Lunch….fantastic!! 1st timers and I guarantee THIS is our new pizza place. Can’t wait to try the pasta.Came again today and everything still fantastic”
“I got the chicken sovlaki pita with fries. The fries were nice and crisp, the chicken pita was pretty big, and I felt like a good amount of food for the price, but it was too plain! I almost couldn't taste it, so it wasn't bad, just nothing to write home about. I was disappointed maybe some of their other food has more flavor and seasoning.”
“Archie's, has some of the best ox tails and jerk chicken I've found they have great friendly service, the perfect atmosphere for Jamaican Vibes make sure you Check Out!!! ARCHIE'S TROPICAL ”
“The food is good but inconsistent with the spice. The first time we went, the spice was perfect (ordered level 3 out of 5). The next two times, we ordered spice at level 3 and 4 and it was not spicy at all, and was actually more sweet than anything.”
“For small towns, Salisbury and Spencer are truly fortunate to have so many great, locally owned choices for dinner! For me, Pinocchio's is at the top of that list. This review is the sum of dozens of visits (we live in Salisbury). As background, I've lived all over the country, from FL to CA to VA, and I love good food! I've been to Italy many times, but I was on an aircraft carrier at the time, so I don't think that counts.The setting is an older building. Not a hole in the wall, more of a small, intimate and (to me) surprisingly cool setting. I would suggest reservations. The interior is a bit older. I think beauty sometimes requires imperfections, but I'm sure that's just me. Personally, I love the interior.Pinocchio's strives to use local ingredients as much as possible in new and interesting ways. Favorites stay on the menu while weekly specials showcase the chef's ingenuity and skill. Plating and presentation are always spot-on, as are the portions. Service is great without being intrusive. And the food never disappoints. I'm partial to the salmon, and would recommend it regardless of garnish-of-the-day. Desserts are always a delight. As to the wine selection, it looks impressive, but honestly I always get Prosecco, so I will let others critique the wine list.Two thumbs up!”
“Made to order, fresh everytime, worth the wait. If you support local businesses that support local businesses... you can't beat the local food products that are used on the menu. We love the 2nd Sunday Brunch.”
“Delicious treats. We special ordered Chocolate chip & walnut cookies....so very yummy. I also LOVE thier peperoni rolls. You gotta pop in and try this little shop!!!”
