"First time in Wilson,NC. Googled "food near me." This place popped up and had good reviews so I thought I'd try it. I ordered the Downtown's Rueben with pasta salad and iced tea. The sandwich was excellent... house made thousand island was tangy and tasty. Pasta salad was just a traditional Italian blend (had to pick out the black olives). Ice tea was strong and fresh. Great location to stop and try."
