“Normally very good food, and service but tonight ordered my useual pineapple acp to go, it was late granted about 9:15 but took the food home and not even one chunk of pineapple! it ruined my meal!”

“One of the best burgers you will eat! We regularly travel from Bakersville just to come there to eat. They give you a large portion of french fries as well. The only pet peve is they are VERY stingy with the ketchup, i got 1 pack with my meal and i asked for some extra,,,, they gave 2 extra packets, thats about 6 packets short for the amount of fries you get, i understand that some people are wasteful but I guess I'm going to have to bring my own bottle with me. Overall a great place to eat and will continue making the trip when I'm craving a great burger.”

They make you feel like “family” (even if it’s your first time there), everybody knows everybody!! It’s a great place to just slow down relax and enjoy a few minutes of great food and “small town” hospitality!!”

“We stopped at Eddie's close to closing and they cheerfully welcomed us in. The service was fantastic and the food was even better! The family that owns and operates Eddie's introduced themselves and were very down-to-earth and pleasant to talk to. The warm bread was amazing, each pasta dish we tried was excellent, and our salads were crisp and fresh. This place just went to the top of my list for favorite Italian places. I can't wait to try more of the menu!”

“Best Mexican food I’ve had since Ecuador.”

“we ordered food from Pepperoni's today, the second time this week,I wanted pasta so I got the spaghetti,as always our food got here fast,and was still nice and hot, the sauce was delicious but the meatballs on the spaghetti were awesome,tasted like actual homemade meatballs im thinking that they are my go to for a pasta fix from now on!!”

Friendly staff. Definitely a plus for the city of Marion!”

I hope they get the chance to open again”

“Great staff interaction with us. Stopped while traveling and they helped so much.. Had to walk the dogs and the staff helped us with water for the pups, then we ordered some grub while the staff lip sinked to the music as they cooked. Food was delicious and served with a warm smile and great company. Highly recommend to all...”

“Hi everyone! I recommend Hartman’s Restaurant 1000% the place was full and the service was excellent and the food uuffff!!!”

“Godfather's Pizza is awesome! You can purchase a pre-made & baked personal size pizza that's in their glass warming case, or they will custom make a fresh pizza for you. The ground beef pizza I got from their case was "off the chart" tasty & hot! However, the dining area was freezing cold, which caused me to rush my meal so I could get back to the truck and get warm.”

“I had a great hot dog and the best fresh chips I remember eating. They also fed my fiancée peach cider and babysat her while I played another round of disc golf ?.”

“We stopped at Tres Hombres on a Sunday evening on the way to Spruce Pine.
What a surprise. The food was excellent. The Tacos, Quesadillas, and Tamales were outstanding.
Prices are very reasonable.
It seemed very authentic.
The restaurant also serves as a grocery store that sells a lot of Latin ingredients.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The seating area is somewhat limited.”

“T.J.'s is one of the best kept secrets in Marion. Their salt and pepper catfish is the best around! The ladies there are always so nice!”

“Just a wonderful place. In a strong community fighting back after the storm. If your near show them some love.”

“This is my FAVORITE Japanese restaurant! I live about 40 minutes away from Marion, but when I am wanting Japanese cuisine this is where I will always choose. The employees are all friendly, the atmosphere is calm and nice to dine in! My husband and I love the freshness and flavor of their food. It’s absolutely delicious!! 10/10 recommend!

Pictured: I get the teriyaki chicken combo with white rice and no veggies.
My husband gets the teriyaki chicken (fried rice) combo also but adds a side of zucchini and onions.”

“Excellent, high quality donuts - get there EARLY! You'll be glad you did 🤤”

“Best little Dive bar in Marion with great friends and such a great friendly atmosphere. Everyone knows everyone like Cheers is the only way to describe it. We're all like family getting together each day. Nothing else like it.”

“We had dinner there tonight and it was AMAZING. Our server Emma knew so much about the menu and she was just overall so sweet and funny! We also felt good with having our kids there. Some restaurants give off bad vibes whenever kids are there but not this one. Plus they do utilize local meats and ingredients.”

“We love Jalapeno Fresh Grill! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“OMG the 🌱🌱🌱 plant base BURGER 🍔 is HANDS DOWN DELICIOUS! I don't mind to pay more for a better burger - i totally recommend this 🌱🌱🌱🍔”

“We stopped in the other day for the first time, I had no idea they had a little play area for toddlers which was perfect for my 3 year old. Staff were friendly, kids loved their ice cream, and the cookie dough latte was delish. We will be back!”

“It's just a cool upbeat place to hang out.”

“The food is really good especially the clam chowder. We also had clam dip with drinks while we watched the Christmas parade. Awesome! Dillon the bartender was so nice! Had a fantastic time!”

“I have never had Burrito Bros until today. I did not know y’all were like that, the street tacos I ordered where absolute gas I swear on everything 10 out of 10. I’ve been missing out….”

“Food was great, biscuits could have been a little doner. Service was good with exception of the one taking my order wasn't sure if they had any pies or not and seemed to be off in space somewhere. The atmosphere was great but that's because we were the only ones dining in.
Thus why the 4 star ? across the board.

“My only complaint is that I really wish that the inside were more like a restaurant rather than a fast food joint, but that being said, the food NEVER disappoints! Prices have gone up just a little bit, but still reasonable. If you like homestyle, country cooking, then you will not be disappointed. I always get the salt & pepper catfish, and it is among the best catfish that I've ever had. It is ALWAYS good, very light & clean tasting, and never slimy. My family has had the chicken and they say it's good. The sides are also always good, and cooked the way your grandmas probably used to make them. There was one time when I went and they were out of saltwater catfish, and several of the sides, but that has only happened one time so maybe it was just that day. Anyway, I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone!!!”

“Love there buffet go almost every time there buffet is open. Love the to ho option. Love to go get a plate to go. No they don't have a waitress it's get off your tail and get it. Which I love”

“Family friendly and good eats! We have been here multiple times, and I just realized today that I haven’t left a review yet. We enjoy the live music they have there occasionally and the food and service always of course!!!”

“Zaxby’s is a fantastic dining destination for anyone craving delicious comfort food. Known primarily for its signature chicken dishes, this fast-casual restaurant offers a unique twist on classic flavors.

The menu features a variety of options, including their famous chicken fingers and wings. Each dish is perfectly cooked, ensuring a crispy coating and tender meat inside. For those looking for lighter fare, their fresh salads come topped with grilled or fried chicken, offering an excellent balance of taste and nutrition.

Zaxby’s also prides itself on its zesty sauces, adding an extra flavor to each meal. There's something to suit every palate, from the tangy Zax Sauce to the spicy Hot Honey Mustard.

The welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for families or friends to gather and enjoy a casual meal together. Whether dining in or taking out, Zaxby’s will satisfy your hunger while providing a fun experience.”

“Due to the recent hurricane, grocery stores are running low on a lot of items. I was in search of 2 hamburger buns. After first stopping at McDonald’s and being rudely told that they would NOT sell me buns, I went through the drive-thru at Arby’s. The girl taking orders was so kind she even offered to toast the buns for me. I know it’s an odd request, but the fact that they kindly assisted me and were super friendly really impressed me. In these times a little bit of kindness goes a long way.”

“Glad we took the time to dine here. They give a nice amount of food when you get something like the Fajitas for 2. It was enough to be completely full and have leftovers for another lunch. The bean dip they serve with fresh chips is quite good and a decent salsa bar. The wait staff was hard at work and made sure our drinks stayed full and made sure our food was more than just adequate. Will return again.”
