    We always love going here but this time was special. We went for our wedding anniversary and the staff made us feel special. From the 72 day dry rub taster to everyone saying happy anniversary. It made this visit extra special. True Blue knows how to do it.

    We had a great experience at the George. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the Cape Fear River. We started with 2 delicious appetizers (crab dip and tuna)- our party of 5 each ordered a different entree and we were all very pleased with our meals. The desserts were great as well. The service was perfect. Our waitress was timely, nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend it to others.
