Lou Reda's An American Table

Excellent food, service, and the fried green tomatoes were amazing! Portion size was good, price reasonable! 10/10 and loved our waitress:

Ms. Wendy, you are amazing!! We stopped in town to rail fan and wanted to check out a local restaurant. YELP never fails, led us straight to LouReda's and so stoked about this place!! We called to place our takeout order and Ms. Wendy was so sweet and helpful, you could hear her smiling through the phone. She did not rush us through our order and was careful to make sure our order was as expected. Ms. Wendy brought the food out to the vehicle and she packaged and labeled everything, she didn't miss a beat. Not to forget, she gave us some great recommendations for beautiful parks nearby so we could enjoy our meals. Now, the meal. Amaaaaaazing, delicious, wow!! We ordered Smoked Wings (which we will eat later), Smoked Turkey Burgers, Brisket Burger, Sweet Potato Fries, Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Cake, and Bread Pudding. Everything was delicious and well-made. We are already planning our next rail fanning adventure with sure plans to order from LouReda's again!!! We were too focused on eating to take pics

We visited LouReda's while passing through Rocky Mount, NC, based on Yelp reviews. The good The food is good, really good. The service is even better. The bad The portions could be bigger for the prices. We had two old fashions, ribs and their turkey special, followed by dessert. Sadly we were still hungry when we left. The ugly. No ugly here, just an suggestion to up your portion sizes a bit.

We stumbled upon this gem while traveling to the beach. Quiet and unassuming, we weren't sure if our casual attire was appropriate but soon realized all are welcome. Our server, I think her name was Michelle, greeted us immediately with a big smile! She was my favorite part of the meal. Attentive, funny and outgoing! We ordered the smoked wings, which were delicious! Had a hint of cinnamon as well. Huge portion of 5 giant wings. For dinner my husband had the brisket and 1/2 rack of ribs. He said they were very good and the ribs fell right off the bone. I had the Mac and cheese with blackened shrimp which was to die for. It is very rich with an ample portion, so needless to say, we have leftovers! Definitely would stop here again!

I decided to try this place on one of my visits to see my parents in Rocky Mount, NC. The restaurant decor is quaint and not overly done. My favorite parts were the huge chalkboard menus on the wall because there is nothing worse than trying to squint to see the writing. lol The service was excellent and our server was on point with her recommendations. I'm always wary about ordering oysters with no ocean in sight, but they were chargrilled to perfection! I almost ordered more! The shrimp risotto was surprisingly delicious and filling. When I first saw there were only 4 shrimp I felt disappointed, but trust me when I say, they were huge and any more would've been too much. I can't wait to go back down for a visit, so I can eat here again.
