The Sweezy House

This place is not worth eating at the foods horrible the service is crappy and the only good thing about it is the Decor I would recommend eating at this place if it was the last restaurant North Carolina.

First impression. We pass by it all the time and think, "there's a restuarant in that house". We had heard some pretty good things about it. So we get a babysitter and it's date night. We were seated in a room off to the right near the kitchen. This was a small room with way too many tables; it felt very cramped. There was a group of people with two kids, one was a baby who was crying most of the time. We were trying to get away from all that on our night out. Also it was very, very bright. It wasn't until 3/4 through our meal that the waitstaff noticed and turned down the lighting. My wife had a pasta dish that was just okay. I had a ribeye that also was just okay. It was garnished with steamed veggies and a potato mash. Very plain, nothing special. Sure we could have asked to move or to have the lights dimmed, but when you're running a restaurant you should try to "read" your patrons a little better. Our waitress was just okay too. Considering the appearance and the reputation, we were expecting to be wowed, but we weren't.

Tonight my friend Bill decided to take me to his hometown in Fallston , NC to see his old home place and have dinner at The Sweezy House.  Who would have thought one of the most incredible evenings awaited us in such an off the beaten path location?  Entering the Sweezy house is like stepping back in time.  It has both the charm and hospitality of an old home and elegance of a nice restaurant.  You will enjoy reading about the old home and how it survived to become a magical place on the back of your menu..  Folks in Fallston are casual so it is a casual place but has touches of elegance with linen tablecloths and napkins, separate dining areas created in existing rooms, complete with their own bakery in back.  Do not be shy...walk around and get a feel for this place.  As for the food...like the house it combines southern flavors with elegance complete with surprise specials everyday.  Our waiter, Johnathon, told me to get the stuffed grouper with flavors that will dance in your mouth.  I have eaten in some fine restaurants, but I must say this is the most exciting, creative, interesting, knowledgeable waiter I have ever had.  He mentioned that he could sing so we asked for a song.  Italian Opera no less with the voice of an angel.  Oh yes...and the food...like he said...with layers of flavor that will dance in your mouth.  Everyone enjoyed their entree and every dessert is worthy of your consideration.  Their salads are remarkable....we will be back soon with 25 of our friends...we already have reservations.  As we drive through the country to Fallston they will never believe what they are about to experience!  Enough said ...I will leave things unsaid for you to discover on your own.
