“ Enjoyed this new to us place. We come through town every 3-4 years but may make it a more regular drive. Enjoyed the salmon sandwich with GF bun. Husband had brisket sandwich and said it had fantastic flavor! Staff was very polite and they kept moving and cleaning versus just standing still after each customer was sat. ”
“ First time in Rutherfordton. Came here after a round of golf with my sons. Service and food were excellent. One of the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. If I’m ever in town again I’ll gladly eat here again! ”
“ Every time I come to Rutherford I eat here. The drinks are delicious, the food is delicious, and the service is always top tier and they are very busy so it's surprising. I just want the chicken meal back on the menu lol. I can't remember the name but it's like the Monterey chicken. I always leave full, happy, and tipsy ”
