Buttermilks Southern Eatery — Restaurant in Whiteville

My wife and I went there on a Monday for lunch. Because of its location - a space with limited parking where many restaurants came and went - I was a bit worried that this new restaurant might have problems attracting customers. However, the place was bustling with people, which was fun to watch even though it made the space a bit loud. The menu is fairly large, offering both breakfast and lunch options. The food was delivered fairly quickly and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ingredients and the execution. I ordered a Filet Philly cheese steak and my wife ordered a "low and slow" brisket sandwich. We both ordered extra crispy fries. The Philly was tasty and cooked well, although the bun was a bit tough for me. The brisket was tasteful and had a nice smoky flavor. The portions are huge. Our server, Julie, took excellent care of us and was very attentive. The owners introduced themselves to us and made us try their version of the shrimp and grits (shrimp with grits cake, served with bacon and andouille sausage) as well as a small portion of chicken and waffle. You can tell they love what they do. Everything we ate was tasty, and we will...

So I want to start by saying that the food here isn’t actually bad but when I got it it was so cold that I didn’t even want to eat it the waitress brought out our drinks and didn’t come back until after the meal was delivered which was 30 minutes ( which I don’t mind the wait for food to be cooked it’s not a reflection on the cook themselves but just to show how long the waitress left us at the table) I needed a refill for a good 25 minutes and we had to call her to come over when she finally came close enough to another table to hear us because we didn’t want to be yelling across the restaurant when she finally did get us the refill and the other stuff we needed it was the wrong drink at that point we just decided to leave and take our food with us and heat it up at home but we had to wait for her to get close enough again normally I wouldn’t have problem if they had been busy but she had 1 other table when we first came in and I think I got one more after a minute of us being there I don’t leave bad tips and I wasn’t about to start today but today was the only time I ever...

We were a party of five waiting. The area is small and we ate right during the church crowds. It was very crowded the order was taken and this is our second time here once at breakfast then lunch both times our orders have been incorrect. They also are under staffed.The food was not bad but due to the crowds of people coming in and waiting on tables we were in the mist of eating our food when we were ask to move to a smaller table. We all crammed in for a bigger party. I kind of found that a little rude Because we are paying customers as well and want to be comfortable while eating not crammed up. I get this business just opening and it is gonna take some adjusting but please think about bigger space, the church crowds and making sure the orders are correct and maybe getting some more help. Other than that it was not a horrible experience. The staff are friendly and try to accommodate you. I would just recommend it maybe when it’s not so busy...
