I stumbled upon the Surrey Diner--a small, hole-in-the-wall gem just off the interstate behind a…read moregas station--and this quaint little diner packs a punch! They've got a fryer, flat top, and grill--old-school diner essentials. I had a burger and fries, and it was exactly what you'd hope for. The flame-broiled burger was juicy, full of that perfect beef flavor, nestled on a soft bun. The classic crinkle-cut fries were just right. But beyond the food, the atmosphere was something special. The staff was friendly, and the patrons were straight out of a small-town diner scene. There were two elderly couples sharing a meal, one distinguished white-haired gentleman with a cane and his wife with a classic beehive hairstyle, and a pair of hardworking blue-collar "bubbas" who looked like they'd just stepped out of the auto shop for lunch. The jukebox was playing classic '50s tunes, adding to the nostalgic vibe. If you want a genuine, heartwarming diner experience, I highly recommend stopping in. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in town again!

First, they forgot half of our food and I had to remind the waitress about it. Then, my gravy biscuits were cold and when I mentioned it, the waitress took the plate, microwaved it, and brought it back to me. I wasn't expecting that. The biscuits were a little dry. I'm not sure much of it is homemade, as we saw the delivery of frozen food while we were there. The pancakes, plain and chocolate chip, were really good and my husband loved the bacon. My cheese grits were good and the sausage was pretty good. The prices were low.

Odell's used to be so, so, so good and then for a while it went downhill. Wait times were insane,…read morethe food was lower quality and you could tell it just wasn't what it used to be. Then, this year happened. I wish I knew what happened, but Odell's is BACK! They have the same yummy food they were known for and the service is great! They are so friendly and prompt. We always joking called it "Slow-dells" because of how they would take 45 minutes to bring the food AFTER you called it in prior to driving there. Now, we pulled up and placed the order and it was out piping hot within 10 minutes. Absolutely amazing! I don't know what they changed, but they've cracked the code and I wish them all the success in the world! Our food: Mom got a cheeseburger basket, which was perfect! Husband and Dad got Big Moe baskets, again perfect. I got a hotdog (for old time's sake) and it was everything I remembered as a kid. So delicious and nostalgic. I also had a chicken tender basket and it was good. It wasn't the same chicken tenders and bbq sauce that it used to be, but like most places, that is hard to keep the exact same over the years, especially with varying food service providers and whatnot. If you previously had stopped going here, give them another chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

I had a basic eggs, toast, meat (bacon) plate, which was done about as good as you'll get anywhere, and my spouse had a waffle which she said was quite good. That's a high rating, friends, because I make waffles often, and mine are outrageously good (ex-chef with the food-ego to match). So, hat's off to the Briar Patch Cafe. And yes, the coffees were good too. Surprising how many places can actually 'do coffee' poorly. Not here. Again, well done. Hope to visit Galax again, and when we do, we'll certainly eat here more than once, because I do hate cooking for myself when I'm on vacation :)
