The Woodshed is “Top of
the Line’ steak house
The best way to describe
The Woodshed is “Top of
the Line.”
Regionally famous for its
steaks and prime ribs, The
Woodshed’s cuisine is con-
sidered by many the best in
the county.
Located at 212 S. Main St.
in Stanley, The Woodshed
has been a fixture for the
past 11 years. Companies
for miles around bring their
employees here for parties,
and civic organizations
sometimes meet and eat at
The Woodshed.
Bill Withers, a former
mayor of Stanley, is the
owner and manager of The
Woodshed.
Besides the beef menu,
The Woodshed has one of
the finest salad bars around,
with fresh vegetables daily.
A specialty of the house is
a mouth-watering tomato
and onion sandwich. A
wide variety of homemade
desserts are prepared daily
on the premises.
Meals at The Woodshed
can be enjoyed in a rustic
setting, highlighted by lots
of wood, and electric trains
that constantly circle the
dining area are a hit with
young and old alike.
The Woodshed has an
ABC brown-bagging’per-
mit for those who wish to
take advantage of it. With
440 seats, the restaurant can
Red Lobster is famous for
good food and good service
Good food is the most im-
portant facet of any good
restaurant. That goes with-
out saying, but two major
embellishments for the en-
joyment of a good meal are
quality service and atmo-
sphere.
The Red Lobster Restau-
rant at 200 N. New Hope
Road in Gastonia abounds
in excellent cuisine, friendly,
helpful service, and its ca-
sual wharfside decor pro-
vides a relaxing atmosphere
which makes dining a plea-
surable experience.
Red Lobster is part of the
Darden chain which also
owns The Olive Garden and
the Bahama Breeze in
Florida. There are 735 Red
Lobster Restaurants in the
U.S., but the 93 employees at |
the Gastonia location will §
tell you their’s is one of the
best.
The Red Lobster special-
izes in fresh seafood, includ-
ing shrimp and lobster and
a variety of “catch of the
day” fish.
Red Lobster is open 11
a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday

eating establishment in
Gaston County.
Customer service is a top
priority with Bill Withers.
You would be hard put to
find anyone who has ever
eaten at The Woodshed
who didn’t enjoy the expe-
rience. Ask anyone who has
tried it and the answer is
almost always something
like, “That’s the best meal
I've had in ages.” That in-
dicates consistency in the
areas of service and fine
food.
The Woodshed is open
from!#5=10 pom‘ Tuesday.
through Saturday, and
prices average $10-$18 for
entrees.
THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD
A
What better name for a
steak and ribs restaurant
than T-Bones?
Diners in these parts are
fortunate, because there are
two T-Bones at their dis-
posal.
T-Bones on the Lake is lo-
cated on Lake Wylie adja-
cent to Buster Boyd Bridge,
and T-Bones Steakhouse
and Saloon is located in
Franklin Square Shopping
Center in Gastonia.
Both restaurants are ar-
ranged in a Texas-style de-
cor, and both have a well-
deserved reputation for
serving excellent food. The
laid back western atmo-
sphere lends itself to relax-
ation and enjoyment.
Alan Presley, Kent
Robbins, Haven Presley and
Larry Presley own both es-
tablishments. David
Lovelace manages the
Gastonia location; David
Mathien and Rob Izydore
There really is nothing like
a good steak at T-Bones
manage T-Bones on the
Lake.
Steaks and ribs are cooked
Texas-style on a flat-top grill,
providing a pleasant aroma
which never fails to whet the
appetite. The Lake location
also has a pasta and seafood
menu.
Both restaurants serve a
mouth watering array of
fresh vegetables and a vari-
ety of desserts. Mixed
drinks, beer and wine are
available to enhance the
meal.
The lake facility is acces-
sible by auto or boat. There
are plenty of berths for those
who would like to come to
dinner via the water, and
casual dress is welcomed.
Business hours are Sunday
1-9 p.m., Monday 11 a.m. to
10 p.m. and Tuesday
through Saturday 11 a.m. to
11 p.m.
T-Bones on the Lake is an
extremely large restaurant
Page 5B
with a private party room
which can seat 115. It is a
family-style restaurant with
family-style prices. For
those who enjoy the out-of-
doors, there is a deck over
the water. Happy hour is 4-
6 p.m.
David Lovelace likes to
greet all his customers per-
sonally at the Franklin
Square restaurant. He can
do that because of his able
assistant manager, Doug
Mallett.
This facility is open Mon-
day from 4-10 p.m., Tuesday
through Saturday from 4-11
p.m. and Sunday 3-9 Pa,
for dinner only.

Worried about formal
