“Stopped in to get some take out for lunch before visiting one of the local breweries (several patrons were dining in). Staff was friendly and patient while I figured out what to order at the counter. Food was reasonably priced, ready promptly, and I enjoyed eating it. A solid recommend/I would eat here again.”
“First time!! Will be going back. Purchased sub sandwiches!!Bread was very, very fresh ... like it was baked on site!!Cannot wait to go back for an evening meal!”
“It was cold and windy on the day I visited and needed to sit outside on account of having my dogs with me. Consequently, my first visit was a short one. I had one a beer, a traditional stout which I very much enjoyed. UPDATE: I came for trivia night. It was good. I tried a couple of other beers but, the traditional stout was still my favorite.”
“What an amazing experience! Mary was warm and welcoming, she immediately made my husband and I feel right at home. The wines were delicious, what a hidden gem tucked away in McDowell County. If you are a fan of delicious, Bordeaux style dry wines, this is the spot for you! Beautiful scenery, delicious wines, and a welcoming atmosphere. We are already looking forward to visiting again!”
“I ordered a salad with chicken salad and my husband had a veggie quesadilla and both were delish! We were staying at a campground nearby and found this little gem for a very nice bite to eat. The immediate area doesn't offer much by way of restaurants so this was a great find. Very friendly staff and a beautiful golf course.”
“Food and service was amazing! We were a large party of 9 and was well taken care of. Waitress was amazing! Didn't get name but working hard while with child. 10/10 recommended.”
“Wow. Unusually good sandwiches. Definitely not the sort of thing I could make myself. Slightly pricier than your cheapest options around but very much worth it. Will be going back.”
“What a gem of a place! The store is way bigger than it looks. The back portion of the coffee shop is the roasting area. They offer a very wide variety of roasts and they offer shipping. The store is very cute and relaxing. Plenty of seating area and a couch. The staff makes a great latte! So happy we visited this place.”
“Home town feeling of a restaurant. Great and personal staff and the sandwiches are very flavorful and delicious. Each sandwich comes with one side dish and a dessert. They offer a wide variety of cheesecakes. They are the dense New York style cheesecakes. Very enjoyable place!! The brownies are small (compare to cheesecake) but you really don't need a big piece to be satisfied.”
“Kevin was an awesome server! The food was delicious, thank you chefs! I highly enjoyed the instrumental music playing lightly through the restaurant. Everything was spot clean including the bathrooms! Both the Ramen and Pho are excellent, the milk teas are super good and the honeydew smoothie is to die for!!! Thank you Sakura!!”
“A typical Americana diner experience in an old Bank. It was pretty cool and the servers and cook were really nice. The food was mediocre a little above maybe because of the love it put into it but well worth the money spent. Prices were awesome. I would recommend this place and I hope they do very well in the future.”
“This is a great place! I have never had El Salvador food. It was delicious and we will be back for sure! We ordered a steak burrito and a chicken burrito. They came with rice and salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and great dressing. The staff was very friendly. I can't believe how many times I have driven by this place and never tried it. ?”
“The best Mexican restaurant in McDowell & Burke Co! Very affordable for those on a budget. The employees are so nice and friendly! They do get busy and seating can be hard to get when real busy. My favorite dish is the ACP! Food is always fresh and tasty and they have the best salsa bar! My go to place for Mexican cuisine!”
“If you've tried mead and don't like it, you have to check this out. It'll change your opinion guaranteed!! No meadery can compare. Everything is aged 3+ years, is incredibly smooth and has the best flavor. I enjoyed every single one on the menu.”
“Get ready to become addicted to this place!! Amazing food and reasonable prices! The barbeque is so delicious and I have to go by every time I am in Marion...the staff is so nice and informative... They also have a salad bar, so, there's something for everyone! You have got to give them a try! You can't miss it, just look for the "smoking" gun!!”
“We arrived later, not realizing what time they close.. they were so sweet!Shoutout to Frank for letting us stayThe blonde girl was so sweet and the food was so good! I will be back for ”
“Best place to eat breakfast ever. Service is amazing. Small and limited parking but after eating here, I would walk & stand in line in the rain just to get to eat here.”
“I was there today 3-28-24 . I had hamburger and fries. Best hamburger I've had at a restaurant ever. Fries were crispy and hot. Burger was so thick and big I couldn't eat it all. Plenty of fries to have for dinner tonight with the other half of my burger. Will go back for sure. Cost was good also 2 meals for 9 dollars and change. It's worth it.”
“Wonderful place and wonderful food! Pizza was great and the salad was fantastic! The owners were one of a kind and treated us so well, never expected to have such an experience in a small town in North Carolina! If you're in Marion, which will be again one day, this is a must-stop. Keep it going guys!”
“The food and prices are great but go with some patience because the service is either short staffed or just slow in general. The gal that was there was friendly and did everything with a smile I just think she needed some help with half the dining room full and she was the only one we saw working.”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Delicious food that reminded me of Grandma’s cooking. Great pricing for the portions and yummy coffee. Talked to the owner she is super friendly and cares about her cafe. Waitress was on top of it and it’s our friendly. Plenty of room inside and loved the decor. The people here love what they do and it shows.”
“Amazing hand made ice cream with a ton of flavors. They have gluten free and sugar free options as well. The staff was super friendly as well. Come check them out, you won't regret it!!!”
“This place is a hidden gem (well not to the locals…)!!! We were passing through and took a shot and we are so glad we did. Everything was amazing…down to the sweet tea and ranch dipping sauce (bbq sauce was very good too according to my husband). I got the bbq and chicken finger plate & my husband got the bbq and popcorn shrimp plate. SO yummy and good size portions. We left very full and wishing we had room for pie or cake. Will be back when close!Also it was cool to see on their wall that Obama had eaten there!”
“Great service. Always a sweet host behind the bar. Full bar and 10 plus taps. Has bagged snacks like pretzels chips etc and sweets from a local bakery. Upstairs has TVs, couches, games, darts, and more. 2 bathrooms. Very close to local restaurants, some will deliver there. MUST STOP. No complaints.”
“Staff was nice and fast service. Tea was a bit too sweet and im a southern gal I like sweet ? tea! Other than thst always good and fresh food! Prices is great! Have a bar inside as well I didn't utilize it but im sure you could like any other barParking: Lots of parking!”
“Order online for pickup. They are a tiny, secret corner of a Subway in a Loves Truck Stop, but a local favorite. We ordered for pickup at 4:45 and the customers were already lining up. If you order there, expect to wait while they hand make and bake your pizza fresh. It was sooooo good, but I am glad we preordered. At the truck stop portion, they have excellent prepackaged salads, like Walmart deli sells. We ate at our hotel while watching a movie. Great memory.Vegetarian options: Custom made pizza you can select toppings, Subway has vegetarian options, and deli salad at the Loves can fill the need.Parking: Truck stop Loves parking is sufficient.Kid-friendliness: We took our 12, 10, and 8 yr old kids inside. It's a truck stop. Not a playground.”
“Friendly employees, fast service and delicious snowballs! Everything was clean and nice inside, we also enjoyed the connect four and tic-tac-toe they had on tables to play”
“She'll is a awesome waitress, kept her smile, checked back with us often,and made sure our food was ro our liking, the cook did a wonderful job everything tasted ”
“Amazing winery - live music and gorgeous views. Gorgeous does not even define it - beyond gorgeous. Excellent service and local food. Owners are fun and down to earth. Definitely a destination must-stop in North Carolina. Support local business - especially one that is this exceptional.”
“We always enjoy this brewery for their unique brews and a big outdoor space! Conveniently located for outdoor enthusiasts - near Linville gorge, Fonta Flora Trail, Lake James, and there's even a trail that leads from the brewery along Paddy's Creek to Lake James. Danielle was our latest bartender and she was exactly who you'd want to greet you - she was warm and accommodating and also made sure our dogs had a fresh bowl of water. They have a great selection of merch and canned/bottled beer to go! The food truck selection and availability is hit or miss, so don't go there hungry, go there thirsty!”
