Southern Hospitality at its best. Warm friendly people that greet u with a smile. Started with the onion rings and smothered fries stopped when we got to the white crunchy thing known as the plate. Wife and son had Chicken tender melt on Texas Toast with fresh cut sweet potato waffle fries. Large portions and extremely tasty Not facsimile Chicken , real Chicken real southern fried. Will be back when in town.

Great food and super attentive bartender, owner, and manager. The Carolina burger was great!

We were traveling up I-95 with a dog and stopped for the night in Rocky Mount. This restaurant had an outdoor seating area that was pet friendly. They brought our dog some water. It was very hot outside but they had an industrial fan running to keep air moving. Servers were friendly,but not super experienced. The food was good

We just moved to Spring Hope and have been looking for good wings...I do believe we found them at the Gem of a place. They are tasty, crispy and pretty decent size. Ice Tea was strong like I like it and the beer was Cold ! The Staff are so attentive and friendly!!! Right down to the busing people! And Ms Jay is a National treasure so sweet, so help full and so friendly. We will be back....ALOT

I just love west-ridge and wanted to show some more of my favs from here! Can't go wrong with beer and wings!

This place is just awesome. Water bowl for our puppy. Came here a few years ago on our trip from Florida to Cape but forgot. Chicken salad as great as last time. Cindy our waitress was very friendly and attentive. If your traveling north or south or you live in the area please stop in it will not did

Came here for a night out with family we had a party of 10 we sat outside it was nice food was delicious had a variety of appetizers then our meals were absolutely delicious. I will come back when i come to visit nc again

I chose this restaurant for dinner while visiting family in NC because it is one of only a very few that are dog friendly. I arrived at 5:30 on a weeknight and there were some tables still available out front. When I entered to request one, it was very busy inside and staff seemed overwhelmed and not very friendly. I waited a few minutes at the front where there were 4 employees and when one finally acknowledged me she simply said "You here for a pick up?". I explained I wanted a table outside and she told me to sit down and someone would be out when they could. I was able to snag a table for the 6 of us and our dog, but I got lucky because soon after, all the tables filled up fast. I would recommend arriving before 6 p.m. to ensure a seat. When all the family arrived, our server Blair came out and to my relief, she was much nicer than the other staff I had dealt with. She was patient and sweet and when my niece ordered "lots of pickles" with her burger, Blair delivered! Even though she told us she was handling a "very large" table inside she made sure we got drink refills when needed. I actually felt bad for her because she looked visibly exhausted by the time we left. I would absolutely recommend this place with a few caveats: -This place is busy! -Don't expect a warm greeting. -Be ready to wait a long time for your food to come out (at one point, I thought they had forgotten about us, but on the bright side it did give us time to catch up and chat.) -Lastly (and maybe everyone in NC already knows this, but I am from CA and definitely did not) I didn't notice until we got back to our hotel, but there was a "Cash total due" in very large font on our check and a "Non-cash total" in much smaller font beneath it. I instinctively handed the waitress my card and was charged about 4% more without knowing. Personally, it seems predatory ad antiquated that a business charge you for using a credit card. Busy places like this, in my opinion, should not want to have that much cash on hand...it could be dangerous. All that being said, there were plenty of food options and everyone was able to find something they really liked for dinner. The weather was nice and the patio area was filled with lots of children and other dogs. We were able to enjoy a lovely meal together and had lots of time to catch up. The prices were reasonable (even with silly fees) so taking everyone to dinner did not break the bank. Overall, I would go back and eat on the patio again, never step foot inside, and definitely bring cash.

Great dinner spot with a laid back and chill atmosphere! I especially loved that they have draft drink specials during the week! All apps are fresh and hot out of the kitchen- I would recommend the wings and shrimp jammers. These wings are DIVINE- perfectly cooked, crispy and a good size. Service was very speedy, friendly and the servers were very honest about their favorites which is always a plus for a foodie like myself that cannot make a decision to save my life. :)
