Flat River Cafe

Love this place. Everyone is so pleasant.The food is DELICIOUS Service is good and it's nice and clean.

The FRC is a local restaurant that serves up an excellent meal. I've never had a bad experience. The service is great, food always fresh, and servers are very attentive. The atmosphere is country. Love this place.

They cook food a day or so ahead of time and just warm stuff up. Service is not bad but should watch what they say or talk about in front of customers. The place itself needs major updating and should consider paying there team a actual fair wage and treat them with more respect. With the things they do there I'm surprised they haven't gave anyone food poisoning at this point.

Out in the middle of nothing but pure country beauty, this little cafe was filled to the brim with customers on a sunny Tuesday lunchtime. Situated next to a butcher shop/grocery at the crossroads of Hurdle Mill Road and Highway 157, it offers daily specials with 2 sides and all the usual southern fare--hush puppies, killer cole slaw, black-eyed peas, green beans, beets, cajun fries, etc. The waitress said she took the job just to learn the chicken salad and cole slaw recipes and she wasn't lying--they were good, good, good. We got the BBQ and it also did not disappoint!!! Bring a cooler and stop into the shop next door to take some freshly butchered, well-priced meats. PS. The wait staff share tips and help each other out, so be kind and generous!

Great food and atmosphere. Priced very well for what you get. Service is normally on point and quick. Give them a try

I stopped here while passing through because they supposedly won some "best burger in NC" award. I don't understand that because I can think of at least a dozen places that have much better burgers. I will say the patties are huge, but they lack seasoning and taste like they are made with low fat meat. The grind is also too fine for burgers. Wasn't a fan of the fries either, they are frozen crinkle fries, which would be ok if they were fried properly and crispy on the exterior, but these were lifeless. The staff here was super friendly and for that they get extra credit!

Good food; great staff; very clean; has grocery store connected to it. Ample parking.

I have enjoyed a few meals at this restaurant however each time I see an issue getting worse . I have been in the restaurant business for over 20 years and never see management be this rude to customers plus her appearance leaves something to be desired. I'm sure that the owner means well and has no idea what is going on in the front of the house . you should steer clear of this place until I get this mess straightened out.

Really good food and fast service. The booths and tables could use a make over though.

Delicious fried chicken and tenders. We will definitely return to try more menu items. We came in right before closing and the staff was really friendly and helpful.
