Description

Gunter's, the new restaurant in the former CJ's location, offers a mixed experience as it settles into its role. While some diners appreciate the friendly service and fresh food options, others express dissatisfaction with slow service, long wait times, and inconsistent food quality. The atmosphere has been criticized for cleanliness and overall ambiance, prompting some patrons to reconsider their return. Despite the challenges, a few dishes, such as the BBQ sandwich, receive recommendations. As Gunter's navigates its transition, diners hope for improvements, particularly in service and food consistency, making it a restaurant to watch in the future.

The food was excellent and close to home. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The service and atmosphere were both enjoyable.

It took us 20 minutes to place our order and another 25 to 30 minutes to receive our food. The restaurant is no longer C J's. They still have some improvements to make, but I think they will be okay in the future. Currently, the food was a 3, service was a 2, and the atmosphere was a 2.

The restaurant service was a bit slow, but the food was excellent. It seems that the new owners are still adjusting. Our server was very pleasant. Overall rating: Food- 5, Service- 5, Atmosphere- 5. Recommended dishes include the BBQ Sandwich. There is plenty of parking available in the free parking lot.

I have been dining at this restaurant since I was a child, but unfortunately, the new owners have caused a decline in quality. The wait times have increased, the food has changed, and the service is now terrible. It's a shame to see such a great place ruined. The only saving grace is the longtime waitresses who still provide some level of good service. I will not be returning. Meal type: Lunch Price range: $10-20 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I was excited when Gunter's took over the old CJ's location. That area of Davie County really needs more family-owned restaurants. However, our experience last night was disappointing. We sat at a dirty table and had to ask for it to be cleaned. The service was slow and we saw other tables also experiencing long wait times. After waiting 45 minutes, we decided to leave without our food. My husband canceled our order and paid for the one drink we had received. Unfortunately, they still charged him for the drink, which was not good customer service. It seems like they need more experienced staff running the kitchen. We may not be back anytime soon, and my husband may not give them another chance after this experience.
