ok if you like KFC food, it is average , portions are limited used to be alot larger, The staff are usually friendly but they are pricely for what you get. For a family of four you could go to a country buffet or a meat and two veggies for better value,

I like Hardee's food but the restrooms here are coupled with a convenience store and were pure-T nasty, and needed updating badly. My wife refuses to stop here because of the bad restrooms. Too bad because it's in a great and convenient location off US74/US1.

Rockingham is a depressed area, and this Arby's is connected to a convenience store. You know what Arby's food is like, no need to critique that. If we didn't enjoy it, we wouldn't keep coming back. Just wanted to say that the counter folks were helpful, the food was served hot and on time, and this is a comfortable place for lunch. We'll be back next beach trip...

We were weary travelers and went for the all - you -can -eat country fish dinner. The place looked clean and welcoming. The staff seemed friendly. We felt that this business would do better if there were just a few changes made. The broccoli side was overcooked and watery and we truly could not enjoy eating the fish due to the intense amount of salt on it. Although the fish seemed fresh and crisp the cornmeal coating contained huge amounts of salt making the meal unpalatable. When we mentioned this to the staff they did not offer to replace or bring us more fish without salt. Instead they looked indifferent, shrugged their shoulders and went on with what they were doing. There were no other customers waiting at the time so they could have looked after this. We left hungry and disappointed.

I really liked this place, it was really clean, the food portions were generous, the soda fountain was superb and the parking was ample. The location was just a hop, skip and a jump from the local Aldi so it made for a pleasant and productive afternoon. Our group chose to eat our food IN the restaurant, in one of the seating booths which were spacious yet cosy, with huge scenic windows.After a while I found the food just a tad too salty for my taste but the rest of our lunch party didn't seem to mind. Overall, it was a satisfying and nice experience and I shall probably be back on future visits to the area.

Henry's Uptown Cafe

Reviewed By docrock2014

Looked on trip advisor headed north from Myrtle Beach to the northeast -- old pine floors and a fresh paint job greeted us along with very friendly and helpful waitstaff. Fresh tea, homemade bread and sides. Great tarragon chicken salad. What a pleasure. Not sure I would order the BLT -- too much bacon (1/2 pound) unless it is well done. $25 for two -- big sandwich, hearty sides and bottomless tea.

Pattan's Downtown Grille

Reviewed By 63cassandrae

When you enter this restaurant, you notice it’s immaculate, so I wasn’t surprised to see the 100 sanitation score. Our waitress, Erin, was pleasant and efficient. We ordered the brisket platter and the Friday shrimp platter. The food was good, especially the collards. The portions were generous and the prices were fair. This was a great stop for us on the way home from the beach! We will come again. Hopefully we can arrive on a Wednesday in the future for the Wednesday only burnt ends!
