Carolina Crossing Restaurant

About Us

Some restaurants open and close before anyone notices. Carolina Crossing Restaurant has been feeding Grover, NC since 2004, and 842 reviews averaging 4.3 stars tell you exactly why it stuck around. Truckers, campers, families, and locals have all found their way to 218 N Main Street, and most of them come back.

The menu draws from the deep well of Southern soul food, touching American comfort cooking and barbecue along the way. This is food built for people who are actually hungry, seasoned the way it should be and served without pretense. The atmosphere backs it up: welcoming, unhurried, and genuinely friendly in the way that only a true family restaurant can be.

Whether you roll in off the highway or walk over from around the block, you get the same experience: a table, a warm room, and a plate of food worth talking about. Grover may be a small town, but Carolina Crossing gives it a dining anchor that punches well above its weight.

What We Offer

The restaurant opens at 7:00 AM Monday through Saturday, making it a legitimate breakfast destination long before most spots even unlock the door.

"Came across this place when we were camping this weekend and we loved it. My burger was juicy and had great flavor. The fries had great seasoning on them and they were fried perfectly. My boyfriend loved the hamburger steak. The hush puppies were fresh and had a great fry to them. The restaurant was cute and the service was great! If you’re passing through the area I would definitely check this place out."

"The sweet tea, and the food were great. Some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Seasoned perfectly and just juicy enough. Everyone else at our table also raved about their food being delicious. I did have to take off a single star simply because I saw a baby walk directly into the kitchen where the food is made. And it seemed like a normal thing as no one rushed him out very quickly. Service was alright though we did have to unfortunately wave over our waitress to get refills a few times. But she was still very nice."

"Terrible I payed over 24 dollars on food and the grilled chicken sandwich came with no tomatoes or lettuce... I didn't realize you would have to say( add). The food over all was 1.5 stars out of 5. Never going back! Overpriced! Also the price on the menu is outdated or I was over priced and my meal came with no ticket."
