Folks, Keith the owner had told us the last time we were here about his Wednesday Special, which is a Pork Chop that has been marinated. This special doesn't appear on the menu, so you guys need to know. We went for this Special today the 29 th of May. We brought along our best friend Mrs Beckie, and we all had the Special. Wow, wow, wow, don't miss this if you like pork chops! Without a doubt one of the best tasting pork chops I ever had. It came with two sides, I had Cole slaw and green beans, also both worthy of mention. The wife's had mashed potatoes and slaw and miss Beckie had apples and slaw. Now get this, it was only $9.00. Let me also add seniors get coffee or tea, free. Are you getting this, go already M
Great place. Really busy at noon but they got to me within about 5 minutes. Not too bad considering packed house. I had the bacon cheeseburger fixed the way I like it and an order of onion rings. Patties were smashed type and everything tasted fresh. Onion rings were think and crispy. I added salt to my onion rings because that's the way I like them. Have some cool historical pictures of the area. I'm all about knowing what the area is about. Friendly staff.
Neat little 50s diner. Service was fast and food was decent. Appreciated them letting us eat just a few minutes before closing.
The food is good and they have a good customer service it's a small place so there's not a lot of people everywhere and they have Delicious liver mush and egg sandwiches with tomato and mustard and the coffee is really good displaying coffee but really delicious
A real "Happy Days" kinda place, with a varied menu of breakfast and lunch items. Great burgers, cold plates, and a number of other sandwiches.(open 7am-2pm). Of course, I'm here for the HOT DOGS! First, it's a red dog! It should be to be an authentic Carolina Dog. Tasty. This hot dog is assembled properly, with mustard on the bun under the dog. Then the onions, and chili. Slaw on top (although I prefer chili on top). Slaw is finely chopped, and sweet. Onions fresh and crunchy. The chili was not remarkable , but good. Could have used some mire chili. Bun NOT toasted which takes off points. All in all, a good hot dog, but not the best in Wilkes County. Two dogs, fries, and a drink for $11.50. Crinkle cut fries (frozen, not fresh cut) were good, hot, and crispy. This is one of many great places to eat in Wilkes.
