Dan's — Restaurant in Bessemer City

Just moved here and this review is based on two visits. Breakfast and Lunch. The fried bologna and fried liver mush were good but the bacon and eggs were overcooked, the bacon mostly too hard to eat. Decided to try lunch. When we called to order, we were disappointed to find out that we couldn't order anything "on the side". I have a picky one that wants her chili and slaw on the side for carryouts so the bread doesn't get soggy before it gets home. Not an option here, so instead of ordering a third burger for her (lost current and future sale over no "on the side" option) we decided she could split my Club and fries as I can never eat a whole one anyway. Was super disappointed to get, not a Club, but a ham sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato. The bacon, was again, overcooked and hard to eat. Most was pulled off and given to the Goodest Boi. Not being a traditional Club is not that big a deal, I guess, but just a heads up for anyone who thinks they might get a "True" Club sandwich here. There is no turkey on it. Admittedly, the ham is delicious (probably the best thing so far) and it was a perfectly good sandwich but was a bit disappointed thinking it was a CLUB. Also, they could boost sales with turkey that's on par with that ham. Not just for the Club, but Turk sandwiches, TBS sands, Wraps, Melts and Salads. Feels like a lost $$ opportunity. Not my business to run, I know, it's just sometimes hard to shut off years of operations management ideas. The place has potential. O'rings were also good and crispy as ordered, but the fries were not made to order. Overall it was just okay for us. Can't say we will never go back cause as I said...potential. But, in my professional and personal opinion, they need some...

Found Dan's by chance on Google maps and stopped in after work. You can order from either the breakfast or lunch menu (always a plus for the 3rd shifter) and I mistakenly ordered a sweet tea, the 1/2 lb Cheeseburger with chili/ketchup and fries. Don't get me wrong...the meat was fresh, the ample chili deliciously homemade and the buns soft but it was HUGE and I couldn't eat it all. Don't order that unless you're prepared to leave STUFFED. The crispy fries were my favorite crinkle cut and piping hot. Sweet tea was great and free refills. My waitress Christy (I hope you spell it this way) was the perfect blend of making sure I was taken care of and giving me space to enjoy their delicious food. I would definitely recommend and make a...

I eat from Dan's every morning. The food has always been good but for the last couple months everytime I get home to eat I've noticed that everything is being overcooked. My friend gets eggs over medium but they cooked them until there's no yellow lefted so we've been going to edgewood grill when there open. I don't want to do it but if this continues I'm going to start bringing the food back and have it remade so it will get Dan's attention because telling them isn't working. I've known Dan all my life and love eating there when it's cooked right so hopefully something will be...
