Just the very best homemade food in downtown Marion, hands down. Everything is fresh, the choices vary from day to day, and save room for dessert!! The cheesecake variety is unbelievable and incredibly delicious. Bruce just very recently passed away, but they plan to carry on with the same good food & wonderful, friendly service to devoted customers! Support Bruce's family!!

This type of place is not really my cup of tea. Cheap, but not so cheerful. Seemed to be the only game in town on a Tuesday afternoon. I had a chicken salad. It was just OK. It came with a little lettuce and some not too ripe tomatoes. It also came with a terrible cookie for dessert. I would say if you do not mind high calorie basic diner food this place will do but for me, I would not go back. I don't really see the need to visit this town of Marion North Carolina again either. Not much to see or do. It is 40 minutes from Asheville. There is where I would go again for sure.

This has been my absolute favorite place my wife and I have been all week. We have been hiking all through the blue ridge mountains all week and this is the most beautiful spot we have been in. That's not taking away from the mountains, it is just a true testament of how amazing this restaurant is. Barbra Jean and the staff were incredible, they were friendly and fast. They were genuine in their kindness and spot on with their recommendations. The food was incredible, I had the Hawaiian turkey melt with a side of tangy baked beans (best baked beans I ever had) which was amazing! Then there is the cheesecake...(I like to think of myself as an amateur cheesecake connoisseur) I like cheesecake a lot! I had the sweet potato walnut cheesecake (because where else would you be able to get something like that?). I thought it was going to be a good but "gimmicky" kind of taste. Good enough that you're not disappointed but wacky enough to want to order it. It was THE BEST cheesecake I have ever had!! You will not be disappointed with anything you order here! It is all the fantastic! Save yourself the time of finding somewhere to eat at. If you are with in an hour and a half drive (I would drive that far to eat here) of Bruce's Fabulous Foods, go here to eat. I give it my exceptional seal of approval lol.

The burgers were good but the pasta salad had a weird taste to it. It was a little odd how they don't have fries at all to go with their burgers but they have Doritos or plain chips. The chips you get is just a small handful. I will say the service was great! I saw other reviews about the owners being rude so I was a little nervous picking the restaurant, but when we went we heard the owners weren't there. It's a nice little restaurant, I'm not a fan of carpet in eating areas but other than that it is nice.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE just awful!!She said her name was Barbara and she was the owner but I'm totally baffled at how the "owner" could possibly act that way. She was rude to multiple people!!!As for fabulous foods. It was fabulous in the trash can. Food is not good at all. It would seem with the food being badd at least the customer service would be better but nope!!!

Stopped for lunch after an appointment in Marion today, and darned glad we did. Hope you get Barbara (the owner) to wait on you, more fun than a barrel of monkees!! :) We started with a sample of the pimento cheese she offered us. I am NOT a fan of Pimento cheese, but this was certainly the BEST I've had, and my partner, (a former cheese monger) loved it too. Then the Hummus appetizer. Came out with a regular beige colored portion and another that was a milk chocolate color. They were both delish, and we couldn't figure out what was in the other - turned out to be roasted beet and was a little on the spicy side and darned good too!! Plus they warm the pita bread points just before serving - yum!My partner had the classic BLT and a side salad. Barbara proudly informed us that they do not use iceberg lettuce, just romaine. Partner said the salad was good and the sandwich better. I had the Boursin Club on rye. Well prepared and the Bourin cheese spread added a lovely flavor. The Pasta salad was my side, and again, just lovely. Highly recommend if you're in Marion looking for lunch. We'll certainly be back!

Yummy + healthy food at a GREAT price! They literally own NO fryers - how refreshing! Every sandwich comes with a side + cookie or brownie. Very sweet people - what a find!

Grilled ReubenOne of the best Reuben sandwiches I have eaten. I love the combo option of the sandwich and some pumpkin bisque! The hosts are most pleasant and the little restaurant was clean and homey. Recently I stumbled onto this little gem but I know this won't be my last visit.
