We used Shirley's to cater a breakfast the day before our wedding for ~70 guests. The food was on time, hot, and delicious! Many of our guests commented to us about how much they liked the breakfast. Definitely recommend their catering services!

Love it here! Delicious home cooking and a pleasant atmosphere. It's nice to also take a nice ride around Watauga Lake after you eat and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Family style place that dies breakfast and dinner. Two meats, eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy and baked apples. Good staff. Good food.Went back. Met Shirley herself. Just another wonderful food experience with friends from out of town.Had dinner for the first time for my wife's birthday. Sure was good. Ms. Shirley herself stopped by and chatted with us. So pleasant.Parking: If the let is full, so is the resturant

This was not as I remembered from eating here in the past. Our food was just not as good- the country ham had obviously been reheated a time or two, the green beans were relatively unseasoned, the mashed potatoes did not seem homemade. Our waitress was very friendly, but the boy who bussed tables pestered us to death! He absolutely drove us nuts coming over to us repeatedly to get dishes from which we were still eating!!

In retrospect I should have asked questions since I had never been there before. The food was good but it wasn't what I was expecting. I ordered Fried chicken. I was expecting what you would get anywhere else. I received 2 boneless chicken breasts. I don't particularly like chicken breasts boneless or not. The pineapple and cheese casserole was very good though.

Absolutely the best resurant in carter county! The food is amazing and tye staff was wonderful too. This is buffet style eating, you pick what you want and they continue to bring it out until you are full. For this reason its not the cheapest but it is well worth it if you can even get a table. Check it out, its well worth your time and money!!

We arrived at just the right time. Live bluegrass music band! I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and pineapple cheese casserole. All was delicious and the staff were attentive. We enjoyed Shirley's very much.

Came to Watauga lake for the week. Great area and the lake was so nice. Shirley’s is a gem of a restaurant! Fresh made family style food…fast and attentive service! (Get there early though) Best Cou try Fried steak I’ve ever had and all the rest of the items are great as well…oh yea…real Banana pudding (southerners know what I’m talking about) Shirley’s will be a regular stop for us on future trips to the lake.

We ate breakfast at Shirley's recently. I do not.like giving a bad review but the food was simply not good. The country ham was so tough you couldn't bite into with your teeth, and you had to tear it apart with your hands. The biscuits didn't look like regular homemade biscuits. Gravy was not homemade breakfast gravy. In fairness, the scrambled eggs and apples were very good. They had very few people at 10 am on a Sunday. Truly hoping they can get the quality of food back to where it used to be. I would sincerely hate to see this restaurant close.

I'm in the area vacationing, from Maine. We wanted the authentic, down home cooking and experience. I loved the set up of the menu.pick your main dish and sides and dessert. i just did the plate meal, but the all you can eat would be great if you came super hungry. Caleb was our server, super attentive and warm. And we had others checking in on us as well, including Shirley! Would definitely recommend anyone in the area to stop in. And I LOVED the porch. we may come back tomorrow night for live bluegrass.
