The Hoot Nannie

Very good BBQ and the wings are smoked and the best in town. And their BBQ sauce is very good.

After a long day of running errand and chores it's time to fuel up. Saw this establishment close by and it looked good. The parking is next to the restaurant and it has plenty of seating. The vibe was relaxed and inviting. Lots to choose from but this time I had the pulled pork plate. It was the perfect size and everything tasted fresh. Ned time I'll have to try the burgers and fried chicken.

Everything from the UNDONE food, the long wait, & how me & my friends were treated. I'm black, & I Have a white best friend, & it was 3 of us. 2 of us were black & 1 was white & we approached by a server that was very rude by looking over us, & getting mad when we acknowledged that our hushpuppies were undone along with other food. I will never go back. I'm not the only customer that has complained about this restaurant's Prejudiced Acts & food.

I'm shocked I haven't done a review before this. I've been here a few times already. I've never had a bad meal here but I've heard from friends they had a bad experience. They do some foods very, very good and some not so much. My wife enjoys the Catfish plate but tonight is Thursday and it's .50 cent wing night. Wings are great, not too Smokey and the sauces are good. I'm getting the Cubano sandwich, one of my favorites. Place is usually busy and sometimes there's a wait. We'll foods here so.... Time to eat!

Sorry, but, honestly - mediocre at best. Staff..excellent. friendly, down to Earth, engaging, conversational...yes to all the things that make staff rock. Check. Food? We came on wing night to check it out. Are the wings large? Yep. Are they flavorful, cooked well, and worth the wait? Not even for my 8yo. Way overrated. Sorry, but true. Wing night is nice because it's cheap, but the usual price for these...crazy! Don't do it. If you really need to check them out, wait until it's crazy discounted. The wait is crazy. The environment is 100% lacking anything...welcoming, unique, inviting..etc. Unless you're sloshed...and we weren't. The cheese curds are so good. They'd have to save the entire experience. The wings...chewy. Dry. Give you the frozen feel. Simply not worth it. Not worth the trip, the time, or even the money at fifty cents a wing. I rather cook at home and actually enjoy it. I will say...that downtown atmosphere...with the variety of shops, is amazing. Fun. Exciting. So worth the trips...BUT...skip this joint. Disappointing at best. PS: fix your front door so your customers don't freeze or inhale cigarette smoke from other customers. Pricey, right?

Lunch at the #HootNannie was a Family Fun Experience for sure!! This country hometown joint was delicious! On the menu we at their signature Country Fried Steak, Country Fried Chicken, BBQ and Teriyaki Wings and so much more!! We had a family of 20 and ate good!! This restaurant not only has tasty good but they have delicious deserts!! The waiters and service was great, our large order was correct and our servers had much patience. It isn't easy service 20 people. So, If you are in the Forest City or Rutherfordton, North Carolina area check them out!! #Review #AfternoonSnackBlog

Well this is the second time coming to this restaurant. The first time was a flop!We ended up walking out and not very happy after waiting so long for our food.We decided to come back and try it again.This time we had a wonderful waitress by the name of Alexis , she was one of their newer waitresses but very good!!!What a difference from the first time.I wanted to try the wings because the owner of this place always advertises on FB the wings looked so good and they have a special on thursday nights the waitress said for .50 cents each. I ordered the lunch wings which were a half order buffalo style.One thing is the wings are big! They smoke them first then they fry them.I am not a smoke flavor person but I do love wings. The sauce was good. I did get a Irish cream Drink when I was done, I was craving a good cream drink.Alexis was very good. She made sure everything was good. She even got a sample of strawberry cider, that was some good stuff, and I am not a cider drinker.Over all very satisfied this time over the last time.We will for sure go back and try some dinner dishes and we will ask for Alexis again. If you haven't been here definitely stop and ask for her. (Just wanted to note this is a farm to table type of place, so most likely you will get food sourced locally as well as the beers they serve)

Cute place. Very busy, particularly for a Sunday. Pleasant wait staff. Owner came by to greet us. We waited 20 minutes for a table, ordered right away and it took another 30 minutes for the food to come out. Generous size portions, but the dryest pork BBQ I've had in a while, and the only sauce available was SPICY! Still a pleasant experience, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back.

Took over 30 minutes for a salad to come out and over an hour for food to come out. Waitress was great, but speed of service was absolutely terrible. Not coming back, hate to say it but it's whatever.

Ok where do I start? Our first time here. Waitress had no idea how to tell us what IPAs were on tap and had to just show us her electronic tablet. We ordered steak. The husband ordered 10oz Strip medium rare and I ordered the filet medium. We both ordered baked potatoes and were told that she thought they were out. We should have asked her to check but being as she was the waitress and privy to more information we took her at her word. Bad mistake. Several tables ordered after us and potatoes were delivered piping hot. Husband's steak was rare but as it rested came to a reasonable medium rare and was juicy. My filet was barely any pink at all, not a drop of juice and had zero flavor. And it was double the price of his steak. Waitress stopped by maybe 3 times total after our order was placed and one of those was to deliver food. The bill before tip was $95. Very high priced for just meh food. Also we had to wait 10 minutes after our salads were delivered before she came back around so we could ask for a knife. The salad was just too much to manage with just a fork. Out of their control was the crying kids at one table and the other table with one just running around unattended happy but squealing. I gave it a 2 instead of 1 because the cheese curds were a great appetizer. Thank goodness because my steak went home as dog scraps. I always give a place a second chance but I'll make it lunch on a smaller ticket I hope. Just in case. Atmosphere didn't match the price. The price didn't match the quality. The service left a lot to be desired.
