About Tarheel Plaza

The plaza also holds Taco Bell, Subway, and a coffee shop among its stores. The Taco Bell location runs a drive-through, where wait times are sometimes reported. The centre operates on a walk-in basis with no appointment needed, and it opens daily. Parking is ample across the plaza, with handicap accessible spots included.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly point to the plaza's convenience as its main draw, anchored by Food Lion and Lowes Foods for groceries and a mix of quick eateries and services, including Subway, Great Clips, and a nail salon, all within a well-lit, well laid out complex just off I-85. Several single out Taco Bell for slushies and Baja Blast freezes, though multiple diners describe real frustration with that location: one reports food "thrown in the bag" cold and barely wrapped after a long drive-through wait, another got supreme tacos with only half-filled shells and no beans at 6pm, and a third describes dine-in customers being deprioritized while staff used personal phones. One reviewer also notes the freeze machine is frequently down, limiting flavor options. By contrast, hibachi express in the same complex is called consistently good, and one visit for comfort food elsewhere in the plaza is praised for excellent service.

“I only stopped here for a moment but I found it to be well built and thoughtfully laid out for the businesses that were there. Plenty of parking. Cheers!”

“The freezes machine is always down. I've been working across from it for 2 years now. If you only like Baja blast, that's all you will get anyway. I live for strawberry, let alone the freezes in general. Why have a giant dragon fruit …”

“Dine in customers are their last priority and cell phone usage for personal things seems to be accepted even though customers are waiting. Worst taco bell I have been to.”
- SB Khan
