Joyce & Family Restaurant

"The fish was very delicious and cooked well. Unfortunately, the cabbage tasted overly sweet, almost like sugar had been added, which I didn't enjoy. I also wasn't happy with the $5 box slice of cake -- it didn't feel worth the price. The collard greens and black-eyed peas were just okay, but what really disappointed me was how my roll was placed in with the peas and other foods, leaving it soggy and inedible (as someone who is very texture-sensitive, that ruined it for me). On top of that, the condiments I requested were forgotten. Overall, the meal wasn't terrible, but between the soggy roll, missing condiments, and underwhelming sides, I don't feel excited about eating here again. That said, I just might give it one more try in hopes this spot can redeem itself."

"I've been trying every single restaurant I can while visiting North Carolina and this one is incredible! It was my first time trying pork chops and they are so good that I am sad to back home. If you are looking for fresh and yummy food, this is the spot!"

"Me and my family came today 10/18/25 for the 1st time. I ordered (Whitining fish) *Made to Order so took some time* They made it exactly how I like it extra crispy. (I asked for it to be that way) Yams, Mac n cheese (Lil salty) but still good, wasn't overpowering and hush puppies. Hubby ordered Whitining fish, collard greens, mac n cheese and hush puppies. My daughter got fried chicken, mac n cheese and mash potatoes. Only drinks available was bottle or fountain drinks *Tea & Lemonade * Employees was so nice. Decor needs to be upgraded but not terrible. Definitely would come back again! $40-$49 for 3 dinners w/free refills Recommend to try..."

"This place took me back to a simpler time. A time when people left Sunday service, dialed up to the nines, and broke bread over fried chicken, black-eyed peas, and some of the best greens I've had in my life. The food was incredible and the greeting from Joyce herself was as warm and sweet as the candied yams. We need more places like this in the world."

"The only place to go for down home southern cooking!! My order was delivered quickly and still warm. Smothered Pork Chops were so flavorful and fall off the bone tender and moist. Fried chicken has a light crispy breading that has a great flavor and keeps the breast nice and moist. Black eyed peas, greens, sweet tators, hush puppies and home made rolls are all unbeatable flavors and taste amazing! Nothing frozen here! This is all the REAL DEAL!! Amazing food quality, portions and price that you can not miss!!!Food so fresh ya wanna slap itUPDATE 7/18/25 Fried Chicken (White) and extra thigh were not fresh! Yams and mashed potatoes in same entree container and they spilled into each other! Rolls were put in the same container and got wet from condensation. Asked Dasher for lots of extra butter and only got one. Not a good experience on this trip! UPDATE 11/7/25 My delivery order came hot and all my food was fresh!! Ordered my usual Smothered Pork Chops, White meat fried chicken, greens, yams and mashed taters, rolls and hush puppies and it all was seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing at an affordable price! I believe the key to phenomenal food at this location is to order during peak periods or you run a very strong chance of getting old after the meal period dry and not so tasty food."

"10/10 recommend!! TikTok brought me here and wow... y'all weren't lying First off, the customer service was top tier The lady at the register was the sweetest Now the food... JOYCE!! It should honestly be illegal to taste this good I had the smothered pork chops with rice, mac & cheese, collard greens, and hush puppies Exactly what I was craving and MORE. I'm already planning my next trip back "
