Something Different Steaks

Great food. We were looking for something different for dinner. This was the place to fill the bill. The food was great, the establishment was clean and the staff friendly. We will surely return again.
Kids loved the chicken kabobs and taco salad.
I recommend trying the Topkapi Kabob, yum.

I am going against the majority, but I was very unimpressed with Something Different. After so many rave reviews, my wife and I went on a date expecting "Something Different".

The 1st issue I had was the waitstaff. You have so many different waitstaff coming to the table. While it does make sure you have refills, I much prefer to have 1 server. However, this is purely subjective. The 2nd issue was the decor, which felt very uninspired. However, this is also subjective.

We ordered the Calamari for an appetizer. It was the absolute worst calamari I've ever ordered. I could easily tell it was a frozen brand of pre-breaded calamari. The breading was easily falling off, and had no flavor. To me that is unacceptable for such a great restaurant to have.

The Greek salads were good, but what can you really say about a side salad?

We both ordered the Stuffed Salmon. This is where I was very disappointed. The stuffed salmon itself was lacking in flavor. It was decent, but just lacked any bold flavors. The bowtie pasta in alfredo was even worse. It just tasted absolutely bland. The main course wasn't bad, its just bland.

Then we decided to split a Tiramisu for dessert. When we cut into it it was hard because it was frozen in the center. We hit another bland, pre-made course.

Our bill was nearly $35 before tip. We both felt we got nothing but pre-made, bland food. Now the service while different was very good, the food wasn't horrible, and the owner was very friendly. However, it is not anywhere near as good as most of Asheboro makes it out it be.

I would be willing to try it again, and maybe see if anything has changed.

i love something different i went there on my first date with my x and it was amazing i go every month
