Something Different receives a 5 star review because they have all four of of my criteria covered. Service - was excellent with Southern charm. She called us sugar, sweetie, honey and cutie. She kept the beverages filled. And got the food order right. Food - the food was cooked to order, so it was hot and tasted great. They offer 2 daily specials see the picture of the menu. It was Thursday so they had BBQ Chicken and Hamburger Steak. You get two vegetables and a roll. Deserts were also made daily in house. Price - the daily lunch special was $12.99 = meat, 2 veggies and a roll. Ambiance- Clean, well lighted, up scale at a $$ price. Plenty of parking

The catering here was top notch. The ladies were quick, kind, and were so helpful with quick cleanup. All of our wedding guests absolutely LOVED the food and would not stop raving about it all night- especially the veggie lasagna. The food was a hit with our guests and the staff was amazing with their communication. We would most definitely hire their catering services again!

My dad always said, people will talk about your dress, your flowers, your ceremony for only so long. But if the food's good, people will talk about the food at your wedding forever. He was right. One month later and people still come up to me and say "the food at the wedding was delicious, we loved everything!" Thank you Marilyn and the staff at Something Different Cafe & Restaurant. Sandy and I thank you the beautiful hors d'oeuvres, entrees and deserts. The rib eye was tender and mouthwatering. Your classic Chicken Dijon was a hit, but you knew it would be. Our guests enjoyed themselves and your professional crew made the night a classy, friendly, first rate event.

We ordered lunch for a business meeting this week and were incredibly impressed! The food showed up on time, it tasted amazing, and the presentation was very professional. We had a great luncheon and desert was the best way to end it...that chocolate mousse pie!!!! Mmmmmmm

While visiting from Maryland, dined at Something Different. I had the liver and onion entree, and strawberry cake for dessert. Everything was delicious!Service was outstanding. If you have an opportunity, it's worth your time to dine there. You won't be disappointed.

I love anyone who makes my job easier AND has tasty food! Their tagline is "country club food without the country club price!" Love it!I was referred to Something DIfferent by a client who I was bringing lunch to their office, they actually requested I use this place to cater. Since I was going to be in the Wilson area, I decided to scope the place out first, then bring the food myself since I had never used them before.Something Different is not only a catering option, but it is also a cafe/restaurant with a large menu of homecooked foods. Let me also just tell you that they have a wide range of dessert items which I hear is what they are known for. Their strawberry shortcake is TO DIE FOR!The staff made is as easy as pie (key lime, please) to place an order for the office, and actually had it ready when I arrived. Anyone in the sales world who has to call on offices with lunch in hand knows how rare this is. The dining room was fancy schmancy with white table cloths, but didn't go overboard by making you feel underdresses if you were to show up in jeans and flip-flops (because I saw some folks dressed this way and they looked totally cool). The lunch I ordered was lasagna, salad, garlic bread, the strawberry shortcake, with sweet and unsweet tea. They had it all packaged up for me, gave me all accompanying plates, cups, etc. including ice! They loaded it in my car for me and gave me a menu and delivery service area, which seems to be almost all of NC! The delivery fees are reasonable and the food was VERY reasonable in cost! I will utilize their services again, and am actually looking forward to it!!Something Different? More like, Something Fantastic!!!

This was the best food I've had eating out in quite a while. Everything was cooked well, and the portions were large. We had the specials, chicken fried chicken and fried pork chops. Many sides were available. This is a rare place where you can get vegetables, not just starchy side dishes. You get a colorful plate that is a well-rounded meal. The setting is pleasant and bright. Parking is easy. The hostess, waitress, and cashier were gracious. I only wish they were open longer hours, but I understand.

Something Different is like going to your Grandma's house. Great food, lots of love, simple, down-home environment. Every plate gets two home cooked vegetables with it, bottomless ice tea, and pretty large desserts. However, you'll be so full you won't be able to add desert unless you have the metabolism of a teenager. I had some great fried flounder with Cole slaw and fried cauliflower. It was super. The fried cauliflower is a little new for me and it was delicious!The staff is quick, friendly, and kind. This is a really super place to eat and you can tell it's an excellent value as the retiree crowd is quite present here. You really get some excellent food for the money. Also, from the menu, you can eat low fat, lots of veggies or go a little heavier with fried fish (in my case) or burgers, steaks, chicken or barbecue. Very diverse menu.
