Came in for a late breakfast. Counter guy seemed more or less indifferent to me. Only a group of six folks besides myself in the place. When asked if I wanted coffee I requested hot choc instead. None available so I asked for milk. Counter dude plops a pint carton on the counter - no glass. Later, he sets a fork and knife atop the counter for my use. Hash browns seemed a problem and what I eventually received were not good. My eggs and sausage weren’t any better...
Dude at the counter: You may have sold nine million hot dogs since 1925, but your breakfasts suck. Y’all just heat up frozen stuff (sausage/hash browns), fail to talk with your customers if you don’t know them, and think we like to eat with utensils placed directly on your well worn counters. A little courtesy, better sanitary practices, and improved faire could go a long way! I hope for your sake those hot dogs are as good as you think they are...
To top my experience off, a copy of the towns weekly paper on the counter featured (on three of it’s six pages) a single rambling never-ending letter to the editor extolling Trump’s “accomplishments” since taking office. Really y’all?? Starting prominently on the front page above the fold??? I almost lost my not too well prepared greasy eggs and heated frozen sausage and...
Read moreThis is nostalgia eats.
I say nostalgia because when you walk in the door at least forty or more years disappear. Wood floors, large lunch counter and small tables throughout. Old soda posters and ads on the walls. Collectibles of all sorts on every surface not devoted to serving food.
The service is good and the folks are friendly. The kind of place that seems familiar the first time you come in and would be a have to stop if you had grown up in the area.
I can't talk about everything they serve. I have eaten here once. I had a couple of slaw dogs and my dad had a couple all the way. We shared an order of fries. The dogs are nostalgic as well, they are bright red like almost all dogs were before the red dye scare of the late sixties. Apparently Virginia and North Carolina never let that scare get to 'em, they both still got old fashioned red hots.
Decent eats for a little money. Everything combined makes this worth a stop. I have had better chili dogs but never had quite the total experience you get...
Read moreMy family and I stopped in last week and ordered hotdogs, and fries for lunch, the meal was great as well was the cupcake. I go back this week and my family ordered the exact same thing minus the cupcake....now please tell me why was they trying to charge me $49 today compared to $32 last week for the exact same meal minus the cupcake that I did not get today! I was very disappointed and I asked why was it so much higher...with excuses of well maybe someone different rang you up and charged for plain hotdogs instead cheese dogs with nacho cheese on them....well if nacho cheese is going to make that big of a difference in price, you can have them. I was also told, well maybe someone different rang you up....no it was the same one as today! The girl did pay for my hotdogs cause I wasn't going to budge on the price from last week, and those young girls just rolled their eyes and started talking about me. I mean when you order the exact same thing and its 17 dollars more then it should be something is definitely...
