Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food on the bar was hot, tasty and plentiful. The salad bar had a very nice selection. The fruit bar was plentiful. Cantaloupe, strawberries, oranges, pudding, and jello just to name a few.
The soup bar had a vegetable soup that over flowed with different vegetables. Plenty of cracker choices.
Cabbage, greens, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and the best gravy. Cornbread, biscuits and cheddar cheese rolls to round out the bar. There were alot more items to choose from.
Waitress was great. Very informative, quick to serve the meal and drinks.

We brought a rather large group to breakfast this morning and the team at Adeles handled our hungry crew with ease and hospitality. The food was outstanding and the variety was awesome! I highly recommend Adeles if you are looking for great food and great service!

We were hungry when we arrived. We were quickly seated and had an amazing variety to choose from the menu. All tables we walked by seemed to be enjoying the buffet so we took a look & decided to give it a try. I fixed a plate full of salad - great variety and the freshness was evident. My 13 year old granddaughter had a different priority- mashed potatoes, mac & cheese , ham and sausage. We both went back for seconds- me for a cheddar biscuit, mac & cheese, cooked carrots and mashed potatoes, her for some fruit, jello and dessert. We both left very full and happy!

As far as I can tell nothing is homemade but most everything is packaged processed frozen food warmed up! Orange juice is from a manufacturer. My eggs were runny and I ordered them firm whites runny yolk. Chicken fried steak is not homemade but originally frozen processed food. The gravy was liquid flour water with zero taste. It is honestly the worst tasting breakfast I have ever had the displeasure to pass my lips. I left most of it to the unfriendly unprofessional wait staff to throw away. Go to cracker barrel. You have been forewarned.

Great menu with a full variety of food from sandwiches to full meals at very reasonable prices. This Restaurant was very busy on the Sunday we ate here. Service was great and our server was Jess, very kind lady. Food was great. Largest glass of tea I have ever had for a meal.

I was here for a business class. Almost went to Cracker Barrell which I always like, but wanted to go somewhere new. Boy was that a bad choice. I had the buffet with chicken fried chicken. The mashed potatoes must be powdered and not real. They were runny. The chicken fried chicken was little to be desired. The best part of the bar was the salad bar, except for the fact that they were out of blue cheese dressing. Cracker Barrell is less than a mile away. If you want good homestyle country cooking, go there. Don't waste your time here.

Driving back from Colorado Springs. Wonderful small town atmosphere. Customers and staff were pleasant and friendly. Had hot and salad bars with country fried steak (white gravy). Bought ad additional steak. Take my word and order two- true cubed steak, not the breaded hamburgers that most everyone tryst to pass of.

My friend and I went there for dinner a few weeks ago. It was very good. We were blown away about how good the food was, so we went back tonight and were deeply and profoundly disturbed about the quality of the food and the poor wait staff.
When we got there, we had to wait for about ten minutes to be seated, because they appeared to be very busy. When we went to be seated, the waitress tossed the menus on the table and walked away. When she came back, she asked if we were "Ready?"
We gave her the order.
She came back about 15 minutes later with the food and gave my date someone else's food. A couple of minutes later she came back with the correct meal, and took the one she had left for her. She left my food, but did not bring out my salad that I had ordered. When I questioned her about it, she told she had not written it down, and said, "Oh Well, too late now."
She left the bill. I also found two bad spots on my baked potato.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, was very busy, about a 20 minute wait. The hostess and our waitress were both very friendly. Myself and travel companion opted for the salad, fruit, hot vegetables bar + 1 meat. I love salad bars and this did not disappoint. The veggie bar had a lot of southern classics beans, greens, corn bread, Mac & cheese. Our meat choices were pork chops and chicken tenders. 2 pork chops were very tender. There were 5or 6 chicken tenders nicely seasoned and crispy. The meal was very good and well priced. Highly recommend. If I ever find myself in Morganton again I will definitely visit.

We ate here prior to going to an event at the CoMMA Performing Arts Center in town. To be honest we were a bit disappointed, It came with a great price for a sit down meal. But the meats we added to the buffet style salad bar and vegatable bar was just frozen store bought presentations. They were pretty below average. The items on the buffet were pretty good. However the overall meal was a pretty average 3 stars.
The atmosphere was interesting. You could tell that they had been here for quite some time and that added to the appeal for us. 4 stars for the atmosphere.
Our server was seasoned. You could tell that she had been doing her job for many years. She was very good even though she had quite a few tables. Solid 4 stars for service.
It was a very good value. Almost cheap eats for a sit down restaurant. We would rate the value 4.5 stars. Cheap eats but the meat offering was not a great value.
Overall we would give this place 4 stars. It was interesting place to stop for dinner. A little disappointed with the meats we had. Get the salad and veggie bar would be our advice.

One of the best out to eat hot turkey sandwiches I've ever flapped my mouth over. When the server put it down in front of me, I thought there is no way I'm going to eat all of that...whoops. I practically licked the plate. It was the daily special: a half hot turkey sandwich, a pile of stuffing (dressing), another pile of mashed potatoes and doused in nearly a gallon of delicious gravy. Served with a little cup of cranberries. Hubby had fish & food bar. Cousin had the Carolina burger. I think mine was simply spectacular & will for sure go back on our next trip from South Dakota. Good job Abele's. Service was fast & real good.

We saw an article in the Our State magazine recently so visited today for lunch. What a great place. The food was absolutely delicious. The ribs were in large portions, very tender and very tasty. My friend used the salad and vegetable bar. It was all so fresh, varied and the vegetables tasted like her Mom’s. We also enjoyed all the varied signs and other decor. A lovely lunch and a fun place.

Got take out on a Friday night.
The place was crowded with people waiting.
It was a little confusing where to go and the staff seemed very busy and over-whelmed.
The staff was very pleasant.
The menu is huge with many choices.
We went with simple choices: salad, wings, hot dags and bacon cheese fries.
The salad was wet (too much water).
The wings and dogs were well prepared but they didn't have blue cheese dip/dressing.
The chesse fries were limp.
These sound like complaints but I mean them as areas for improvement.
Overall, we had a nice meal.
It was great to get some local flavor.
Although the staff practiced good mask wearing and social distancing, the other patrons did not.

Food was decent restaurant needs a lot of work. I felt like I needed to wash my shoes coming out of the restroom. One of the drains coming out of the wall have sewer water coming out with a pitcher try to catch it it’s not the cleanest place.

I ordered a chuckwagon steak and the bar. I had made a couple of trips to the bar still had not received my chuckwagon so I said some thing to the waitress. Not a big deal as far as I was concerned, but it seemed to be for them. They manager came out explained to me the printer had hung up and the kitchen had not gotten the order. She reduced my bill to just a salad bar. I received my chuckwagon and left a happy customer. I would not have given them 5 stars if the food had not been really good, but the service and food here was awesome.
