"The fried chicken! Great example of how it should be done. This is 2nd behind Hardisons(Jamesville, NC) but best FC in the area. Kills Wades and Hub City. My only issue at all is no "dark meat." Legs are only on Sundays and they don't do thighs. This is quite a shame, but ill take the breast. It was tender and moist. Came with 2 veggies (I got corn and rice/gravy) and I'd recommend both."

"Working nearby, we stopped here for lunch based on other reviews. Don’t be fooled by the outside when you pull in, this place has some great food and what’s even more incredible are the prices. Clearly a mom and pop style restaurant with some great meals that give you that old home-cooked meal from your childhood kind of nostalgia. The staff were very friendly, and I’m pretty sure the entire town came here for lunch, but you wouldn’t know it with how quickly and efficiently they were able to serve their customers. It’s no wonder people flock to this establishment. I had the double cheeseburger, it was substantial and juicy, just how I like it. The fries were crispy and the lemonade was refreshing. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area, I don’t think you’ll regret it."
