I used to go to this location.  I used to.  I used to go every Friday- but the customer service was just too awful.  

I, relatively, recently moved to GSO from Charlotte.  DD is everywhere in Charlotte.  From what I can tell, this was the first Dunkin to open in Greensboro.  Oh, how excited I was.  

But the doughnuts just weren't as good here.  Often, I felt like the doughnuts were half-assed.  

I kept hoping the quality or the service would improve, but I haven't been back since I asked for a coffee with cream and sugar (and order I had to repeat three times) and was given black coffee.  

How do you mess up serving coffee?  You're a Dunkin Donuts- serving coffee is at least 49% of what you do.  I could look pass the bad customer service as long as I got my order, but it doesn't look like I'll be going back.

Great Customer Service!  I walked in 2 minutes before closing, and the young lady working still milled 10-pounds of grains for me.  Seriously cool.

It seems strange to give a star based rating to a place of worship, but, whatever.  

NGFM is a Meeting House ("Church") for associated with the Quakers (Religious Society of Friends).  Basically, Friends (Quakers) believe in a Spirit (called 'The Light' in Quaker terminology) that all people are a part of.  To that end, Friends practice Pacifism, Honesty and Equality.  

New Garden Friends Meeting has been a place of worship since 1754.  Today, it is a place for quiet worship.  People meet and sit in silence for most of an hour.  

The style NGFM uses is called "Semi-Programmed," wherein there is a Message and some worshipful music.  The people gathered for Meeting are free to stand speak a short message of there own out of the period of prolonged silence.  

Meeting is peaceful and allows even the busiest person time to slow down and reflect.  The New Garden Community is very open and intellectual.

Worst. Gas station. Ever.  

Extremely inefficient pump layout.  Often, they run out of gas.  Is this 1970?  People just park at the pumps- and then don't pump gas.  What's with that?  The coffee is awful.  Won't be stopping here again.

Work was 2 weeks late, cost 5x what I was originally told, and of poor quality.  Every time I called or stopped by during the two weeks- all I got was excuses and sometimes conflicting ones (it takes too long or I could have something if you come back in an hour and a half).

Friendly place!  The bartenders here are cool folks.  22 beers on draft- almost all small craft brews like Dogfish Head and Red Oak.  

Got my pizza really quick and it was delicious.  My drink never got empty before I was offered another one.  A great pizza bar in the area.

Really awesome place.  The food is super delicious.  

The food is generally 'American,' but with creative updates.  My favorite is the Duck Nachos.  Think well fried waffle chips with pulled Duck and cheese.  

Bar and restaurant with neat kitchen set up in the middle.  A fun place to take dates.  Casual, creative food in a real local kind of place.  

Great craft beer on draft.  Battlefield Bock, Red Oak and Fat Tire.

The food here is amazing!  I've had the pizza and a few subs and it's always great.  (Sausage Parm is especially delicious.)  

Service is really friendly, with a usual sit-down section, an outdoor patio and a bar.  

The bar area has hi-def TVs and great drinks.  Red Oak, Hummin' Bird and Bud Lt on draft.  

A good place to stop in for a casual restaurant dinner with a local feeling.

Sweet pizza bar.  Let's face it- it's a Mellow Mushroom, you know what the deal is.  Generally what changes from one MM to another is the brew.  This place has a great draft selection.  Lots of craft beer and some NC locals (Red Oak, Big Boss and Gaelic Ale).  

Great place to go for a drink, especially if you love good beer!

A super cool bar to hang in.  Lots of shows on the weekends with a low cover charge.  Local beers on tap (including my favorite, Red Oak).  Pretty new place- walking distance from Elon's campus.
