"I ordered a lamb entree and a side order of a cauliflower salad. I picked up my order. The staff seems pleasant. The dining area seems outdated and could use a cleaning. I got my food home, and it turned out that they gave me someone else's food. Very disorganized here. I had a pretty good lamb gyro, but this wasn't my order. The restaurant did call me to warn me of my order a few times but didn't leave a voicemail. I returned the following day for a refund since my order was more costly than what I ended up with."
"We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine:Parking: 5Location: 4Decor/ambiance: 5Customer Service: 5Yummmmmy yummmm cupcakes! Love SmallCakes as a chain but i really like this location. Its the same great cakes but something is a little special here. They have the sweetest little lady working inside that works the shop. I've been twice now and have yet to grab her name. She always makes the visit pleasant and she goes above and beyond to make sure all customers are welcomed! In regards to the cupcakes, they are great! Nice sized cakes for the price and they always have super awesome flavors to pick from."
"A hidden gem in the area with super yummy food. While the wait was roughly 45 mins it was completely worth it. The chicken was cooked to perfection & the Cole slaw reminded me of back home (252) The cornbread wasn't anything to write home about but it also wasn't bad. The highlight of my visit was the low and slow queso."
"I decided to try this place out since our church has used them multiple times to do box lunches for some of our meetings. I got the fish sandwich and slaw. It was pretty good. I'd like to try some other things on their menu."
"Food Truck Time: El Jefecito at TapLine GrowlerThese tacos are delicious! Tacos are $3.50 each or 3 for $10. We tried the steak, hash, chorizo, cauliflower and fish. All of these were so tasty, I couldn't pick a favorite. I can't wait to try this food truck again soon."
"Went to Red Hot and Blue for lunch because the hotel I was staying at had a coupon for $10 off of a $25 purchase. It's a fast casual restaurant, where you order your food at the counter, pay at the register, and seat yourself. I ordered the Tennessee Triple, which gave me a choice of 3 meats and 2 sides. I ended up getting brisket, burnt ends, and pork ribs for the meats, and fries and mac and cheese for the sides.The mac and cheese was gooey with super overcooked pasta, but it wasn't bad. Fries were hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and well seasoned. Definitely the better of the two sides. The meats were pretty good. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, the flavor of the rub wasn't too strong, and they were pretty fatty. The burnt ends were nice and fatty, and not too burnt. They were drenched in a sweet sauce. The brisket had good flavor, but was a bit dried out. The sauces on the table were decent, my favorite was the mild mojo.Not bad considering it came out to $15 after using the coupon."

The food was simply a miss and interior is a bit run down. The staff was friendly and the meals were reasonably priced. Decor-interior seemed a bit run down and could also use a deep cleaning. One of the booths has tons of paperwork and folders, and just seemed like it was a bit dirty. Service-staff was friendly. Food-the was not great. The Gyro Wrap had one thin layer of meat, which was a shock to me, as most places I've had Gyros at are packed with meat. The Tzatziki sauce had good flavor, but super watered down. Chicken wrap was also shy on protein and loaded with red onions. Fries were crispy and we'll seasoned.

Smallcakes in located or shall I say, "hidden" within a busy shopping center. Please drive carefully because stop signs are everywhere! Also, people tend to drive like maniacs right in the middle of the intersection where the shop is located. You'll see what I mean. Onto Smallcakes! The person working at the front was super kind and sweet. It was difficult to tell where the menu was at first but it'll be right in front of you on the glass. There are a variety of cupcakes to choose from along with two specials of the week. I went with...Lemon Drop: A nice kick of lemon, I wish it had more of a lemon flavor, a bit light in my opinion.Chocolaty-Chocolate: A very rich chocolate flavor to it. Also, super sweet! Overall, great experience! The price was around $8-9 for two, which was a hit in my opinion.

Dare I say this was the best fish burger I've eaten??! The crispiness and flakiness of the fish was perfect - and not too oily either, making it a fresh but filling option for a weekday lunch. Food comes quick and hot, and it's bang for buck at 10$ with a side (their other sandwiches are even less!). The couscous is a creative side which I appreciate. Portions are not skimped on and the brioche bun is yum. Next time I go I will try the chipotle clam chowder which is on their seasonal menu!

"Very good tacos from a small restaurant (or food truck) in Durham"We just learned that the old "Libby's" restaurant on Hillsborough Rd is gone and that El Jefecito has taken its place, so we ordered some via DoorDash on a Saturday night. Most of us got tacos, though my wife also got a cheese pupusa. We were VERY impressed at the range of interesting taco choices. I'll rank our dishes below.1: Fish tilapia taco. This came LOADED with toppings-- pan-seared tilapia, good helpings of slaw, remoulade sauce, and mango relish. I LOVED this. My daughter thought the fish could've been more seasoned, but I thought it was outstanding.2: Steak tacos. Not quite fair that I'm ranking this one as #2 since my son got these and no one else tasted them (and he didn't taste others), but he liked it a lot. Good helpings, lots of peppers & onions, and a bit of horseradish. He reported the flavor of the beef was excellent-- almost like lamb. Maybe should be #1?3: Cauliflower tacos. We were skeptical, but it was really good. My daughter actually liked this even more than the fish. "It didn't taste like cauliflower" is true, but the mix of the veggies and goat cheese was flavorful and yummy. I liked the fish more, but this was a solidly good choice.4: Bulgogi tacos. We thought these would be beef, and I honestly still don't know what it was, but I doubt it was beef. The bulgogi spice was good. Good helpings of daikon and sriracha mayo. It had some kimchi, though I would've put more. It was decent.5: Hash tacos. Potatoes, chili poblana, and more. It was "just OK". I wouldn't order this again. My wife found it a bit too spicy for her, but her spice tolerance is really low.6: Cheese pupusas. The dough was fine, and the curtido was good, but the cheese inside literally seemed like a square of American cheese or Velveeta. Just no.Two things not listed-- the chicken tacos (my wife got them and liked them but didn't especially comment), and the churros (OMG THESE WERE AMAZING-- coated with delicious sugar!). Totally get the churros.Overall, this will DEFINITELY be joining our family takeout rotation. Overall, we're fans. Just avoid the cheese pupusas.

Stopped here for dinner after shopping nearby. They have several lunch specials and dinner specials that come with 2 sides, drink and hush puppies. I chose the pulled chicken, green beans and baked beans. The chicken was plentiful and not dry. I added the sweet sauce and it was good. The green beans were good but they had a bbq sauce added that took away from the beans. The baked beans had 3 different beans, sausage and pork in it. They were very good. Tea was brewing when I was there so was good and fresh. Hush puppies just ok. Clean tables and a few booths. They also have outdoor seating. The sauces are no longer on the tables but are near the drinks. Still a good assortment to choose from. My tray was ready before I could even pay. Nice service, good location with plenty of parking nearby.

I really hated to give them a low review. Went in around 1:30 for lunch. I seen they had brats and sounded good. Walked in. No one there. Sat at bar. You have to order and pay from your phone. So once you get to the menu you have to put in credit card phone number email and home address...just to order. Super clumsy ordering method. Ordered the brat with pepper and onions. Mustard (or any sauce) is 1.25 extra? 1.25 for mustard? Seen some ketchup at a table so grabbed that. Looked good when it came out and it was but the bun is twice the size of the brat. Had to take two bites before getting to the brat. No one ever asked if I wanted anything to drink. I ask the guy if I could get a drink and I just wanted water. He says like ice water in a cup? Um. Yes...potato salad was good. I ate and left. Know one ever came and asked if I needed anything. It was a little weird. I hope they make it but I wasn't super impressed. It's in a strip mall kinda of tucked back in the corner.

"14 of us showed up right at opening on a Saturday. Even though the weather was beautiful, the parade we were supposed to be at was rained out. So... early lunch and some drinks. The woman who was working was working hard, making sure our food was coming out, drinks were taken care of. While there was a little bit of a wait, it was nothing that was upsetting... because... 14 people. A good local place, and if you're looking for something fancy, this isn't the place. If you're looking for really good food, this is the place. They even have a food truck, if that tells you how legit they are. This place is well worth the experience. Thank you Megan for being so good!!"
"I dont give 5 stars too often. This spot is a treat. The dining is set inside a cool garden center. The owner is super friendly who runs a great operation and passionate about being the best. He makes you feel welcome and in genuinely grateful for your business. They are famous for their pickled carrots."
"Omg everyone. Eden's Vegan restaurant is a hidden gem in the south! My husband and I happened to stumble upon it while down in Garner on a Sunday and I am SO GLAD we did. We aren't vegetarians or vegan but we do love food. At first I saw on the door you needed reservations but the owner ushered us in no problem. They are taking COVID precautions seriously (yes, still, in 2023). Do not be alarmed by this. You can still dine in no problemo! There were so many yummy options and it's done buffet style. I loved the fake Salisbury steak (better than the meat stuff I've had for sure). The Mac and "cheese" was also amazing. Included were drinks and desserts. I loved every single thing on both of our plates and I cannot wait to go back! Highly recommend if you are vegetarian or vegan or just like food. There's a Facebook where every week they let you know the menu for the following week."
"The restaurant is located on a small shopping center across from the Hyatt Place hotel near the airport. There was plenty of free parking and lots of tables outside. The inside is small with only 4 tables and a bar. They have some desserts and pastries for sale. I ordered El Kiosko, a plate with rice and beans, salad with vinaigrette, and 2 delicious empanadas. I also got the small bowl of bean soup. It was a lot of food for 1 person, so I saved the rest for later. My food was very good. I would love to try additional flavors of empanadas and their desserts and pastries."
"I know these folks are primarily caterers, but my experience with them has been with the Cleanse Diet they seem to be offering around once a month. I've only done it once (based on the recommendation from a co-worker who did it the month before with her husband), and really liked it! It was a five day program that included three meals a day, snacks and three Humdinger juices per day. The food parts were all fresh ingredients, devoid of sugar, gluten and dairy. First thing in the morning was a green Balance Humdinger juice usually followed by their home-made granola bar. Lunch was something yummy like fish tacos, or a Mexican salad, maybe quinoa with roasted veggies. Dinners were equally yummy with things like roasted turkey, Lebanese chicken skewers. One of my favorite things all week was a spicy Thai watermelon soup. And I loved every salad dressing so much that at the end of the program, I ordered some of their dressings. Everything was so fresh and flavorful...no wimpy spices! I swore that if I won the lottery I would come try to hire their chef away from them. If this diet type food is any indication of what their catering is like, well, I'm thinking they have to be good! TIP: Not only can you purchase the Humdinger juices here, but they have a freezer case full of casseroles, soups, chili, etc. that you can buy and take home for your family or for entertaining. I bought some vegetable soup and it was quite good. Plus they have a refrigerated case of nice-looking salads and such. They also told me that sometime in the near future, they are planning on offering some of the diet-type food for sale on a daily basis. I'm looking forward to being able to grab a healthy tasty salad or entree like the ones I enjoyed during their Cleanse Diet."
"The best food truck in Goldsboro! The BBQ is second to none. They also have brisket on Tuesdays, and they have BBQ chicken (every day, I think). Breakfast is available as well (and they have a fried bologna sandwich with egg and cheese). Check it out for lunch....you won't be disappointed!"
