Such a Gem!! We found Henry’s Uptown Cafe traveling through Rockingham, NC today!! I had the famous Grilled Chicken Salad and he had a grain fed cheeseburger with fresh cut fries The food was amazing and hot & fresh. I Loved all the strawberries with my salad They we’re celebrating 14 years in business and so we met the owner, Henry and they shared cupcakes with us which also were amazing So stop in and enjoy great food and service but don’t wait they are only open 7am to 2pm Monday thru Saturday- We highly recommend this downtown hidden gem!!

See that picture? That’s the Uptown Steak Burger you should be eating right now. The bun was perfect, I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome the burger itself was. The service is fantastic, the portions are perfect and everything was so tasty! This should be in your regular rotation of restaurants for breakfast and lunch!

Just a small town country restaurant. The prices are good and just. The service was friendly as was the atmosphere. I wish I had remembered to take a picture of the omlete! I was very impressed!

We stopped by this little cafe, traveling from the beach back to Charlotte and it was just perfect. So much better than the fast food options nearby. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. My boyfriend got the Reuben. He got a side of sweet potato fries which were great because they were real fresh sweet potatoes and you could tell. We ordered the food for pick up and it was ready right when we stopped by to grab it.
