The new Chicken Shak in Fort Mill is great. It's at the corner of 160 and Doby's bridge. Apparently Wing King is changing it's name to Chicken Shak after a falling out with the owener of the Wing King on Carowinds. But the wings are still good, and the buffalo chicken sandwich is bigger than my head.

Can someone on here tell me more about Thai Palace in Rock Hill? I have heard that they have good food. We usually like to try restaurants at lunch time and have driven by Thai Palace mid day and never have seen a car in their parking lot! I have looked them up online and it appears that they do serve lunch. Once in awhile we see cars at the Chinese restaurant connected to them.

We never pass by there at dinner time, so I do not know about their business at that hour.

Thanks for your help.

Thai Palace is never very crowded, but I'm a big fan of theirs. The food is excellent, and reasonably priced compared to the Thai places in Charlotte. The staff is friendly and will take the time to explain what is in the dishes and offer suggetions. Try the fresh basil roll appetizer if you go. I've never had a main course that I did not like, but I will say that they go light on the spices. I usually end up adding some of the chili sauce that they will bring to your table. I'm not sure about lunch, as I work in Charlotte, but give them a call. It may be that they only open the adjoining "Happy Garden" restaurant for lunch, but I'd bet you can get the Thai menu there too.

Yep, it's me all right. Small world (or should I say small Web!)

Thanks for the info. I will call them and check out the lunch situation. I LOVE fresh basil rolls. I will be sure to try them. My favorite Thai dish is the Tom Yum soup, but I am used to it being really spicy!!

Just thought I'd mention Mimi's Cafe that just opened in Charlotte. I know this is a york county thing - but I have to tell you that this place is worth the drive. Coming here from Cali I've missed this place so much - best dang corn chowder ever! Now - if any new developers read this, I'll tell you what we need in good ol' Fort Mill, Rock Hill, etc... - Mimi's Cafe, In n' Out Burger, Black Angus, Charo Chicken, and Claim Jumper. As far as Mexican Food in our area - I'm a HUGE Don Pedro fan. Really good hamburger - White Horse Restaurant in Rock Hill (they have YUMMY fried pickles) and Five Guys, which are poppin' up everywhere! Sandwiches and soup - Panera Bread. Pizza - Brixx (sp?) and Fuel Pizza. Hmmmmm... I really like Salsarita's, Moe's and T-Bone's in Lake Wylie has a really good steak sandwich. Hmmmmm.... I'm getting hungry...

Thumbs down Heads up

My wife and I went over to try "A Piece of Havana" on hwy 49, across from were Fatz is located. The decor of the place is very fancy and pleasant. The menu is average. Being a long time fan of Cuban Cuisine, I had high expectations of this place. Our waiter came over and was very pleasant. He took our drink order. He then brought out dinner rolls with butter. It should have been an indication of what was to come. In 99.9% of the Cuban restaurants I've been, they always serve tostadas, which is Cuban bread cut in thin slices, buttered and garlic and then toasted on the sandwich press.
We ordered some ham croquettes, as our appetizers. They were not fresh, appeared to have been frozen and the center was pale, they are suppose to be pinkish from the ground up ham. I then order a Cuban Sandwich and my wife ordered the special, Cuban style skirt steak. The Cuban sandwich was lacking, one slice of roast pork, which IMO was more of a deli version pork, rather than real roasted pork. The best part of the meal was my wife's meal. The steak, which was not a skirt steak on this planet, was about an inch thick, round and looked like fillet of eye round. Being an avid barbequer and competitor, I do know my meats. The steak was over cook, skirt steak is usually, served med rare. The rice and black beans had no flavor at all ad they served three burnt sweet plantains.
Overall, I personally will not return to this place, if they even remain open.
This is just my opinion, but I always check this forum for information and have posted many post that have been helpful to others. Judge for yourselves, but be wary. I believe that Carlos' Cafe, in Rock Hill, is 100 times better.

I tried Donato's, the new pizza place in front of the Tega Cay Walmart. It's a chain from Ohio. It was terrible. Sauce was poor. Very, very salty. I was dehydrated for the rest of the day. I'll stick with Empire State in Rock Hill.

I agree - I went to try the Donato's in Rock Hill, located where our beloved Si's Pizza used to be, and was served a lackluster but quite expensive pie and a pre-made salad in plastic tub. Even though they are convenient to where I live, I'll be going to Empire State and Marco's from now on.
