Best fried pickles we've had in this part of North Carolina. Shrimp basket had nice large shrimp with a light breading and crispy. A chicken bacon ranch flatbread that was excellent. Salads were also very good with field greens, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes in perfect numbers and all fresh. Service was great. Not many other customers in the restaurant tonight but there was staff enough for a full house. We will definitely go back here.
