Mildred's Grill — Restaurant in North Carolina

Yesterday, I got the Cheeseburger at Mildred's Grill at Grandfather Mountain. The meal came with a drink, fries, and a pickle.

The food itself got cold rather quickly, which was a disappointment. Taste-wise, it was standard. Nothing special, but not bad. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it for the price. If it was closer to $8/$9, I would recommend it. I just don't find it worth the value of the money.

If I return to Grandfather Mountain I'll probably pack a lunch because there are so many beautiful spots to sit and eat a sandwich, but this restaurant is a pretty...

The fries were tolerable but low end fastfood quality. Even my 5 year old refused to eat the hot dog. I tasted it and it tasted heavy with salt. Very unpleasant. The baked beans taste like kidney beans in ketchup. Also terrible. The chicken strips were okay. Lunchroom cafeteria okay. The cookie with the kids meal was probably the best thing we ordered. I would stick to a...
