Ladybug Family Restaurant

Always make a stop at Ladybug Restaurant in Wadesboro, NC on our way going or coming to the beach. GREAT country cooking! Well worth a stop.

If your hungry and in wadesboro, consider eating somewhere else. The food is worse than a high school cafeteria. It will fill you up if hungry, but halfway through eating you’ll realize it is horrible and bland. It could be such a gem, but the staff doesn’t care about quality and the cooks don’t care about quality. Keep driving.

Really good food. Hot and affordable. Good service. Stopped here on the way to the beach and was pleasantly surprised. My wife got what she described as the best veggie omelette she has ever had and my breakfast with 2 eggs and country ham was fantastic.

The bar looks great, but we ordered from the menu. Hamburger steak was great, hubby had double burger and couldn’t finish it all, the boys had hamburger and chicken nuggets. Everyone is full!!!

Stopped by on the way though town. We were looking for anywhere that wasn’t a chain (or mexican food) and happened upon the Lady Bug.
Bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese fried were solid, chili was a bit sweet and not too spicy. Cheeseburger was pretty good, better than fast food at a similar price. Would recommend.
Bacon was good, pancakes were above average, and the hash browns were fantastic (with cheese).
Service was great, everyone was friendly and server was attentive. The owner (I presume) stopped by a couple times to ask about the meal and check up on us.
If you are looking for a break from the normal chains stop in and grab a bite.

No frills, basic, good food cheap kind of place.
My friend & I ate here on our way to the beach from Charlotte.
I had a veggie plate with turnip greens, field peas, cabbage, & peach cobbler. (In NC that’s a vegetable.)
It was all good!
My friend had hamburger steak with onions, field peas, & corn on the cob.
Her hamburger steak was a bit over cooked, as was the corn, but it was 2:00 in the afternoon. Maybe it would have been a little better at noon.
The sanitation grade is an A with a 95.0 grade, the folks that work here are really nice & call you «sweetie».
If you’re looking for someplace to take a date, this probably isn’t it.
But if you’re looking for decent food that’s not a fast food chain, for a fair price, give it a shot.

We only went here once and decided it wasn’t worth a second visit.
I ordered the country-​fried steak and got the salad bar. We went at dinnertime and the place was mostly empty. I got a tiny piece of steak with no gravy and the salad bar was miserable. There were fewer than 10 items and the lettuce was turning brown. The dressing tasted watered-​down.
My meal (approx. 4 oz. fried cube steak and a salad with brown lettuce, some carrots, mild cheddar, and watery bleu cheese dressing) was $ 12. Very disappointing.
I’m sure other things are better, but our meals were seriously bad. Waffle House has better food than this.

OLD SCHOOL, seriously OLD SCHOOL North Carolina «meat and two veg» family restaurant. Buffett line big with the post church crowd.
Don’t expect vegetables with texture. DO expect soggy green beans and collards flavored with fat back.
For Wadesboro, probably the most culturally diverse place in town. All welcome. Friendly «you want fried chicken or fried fish sweetie?» type of place.
Breakfast served all day. Decent prices overall. Certainly a change to the normal Anson County culinary options of Sonic, McD, Waffle, BO’s or Hess Gas Station.
Only complaint is that if going old school, do everything home made. Instant mashed potatoes, seriously?
