    Still a good Chili Dog here!
    Fred B.

    This old school diner (the former Church Street Drive-In) just re-opened this week as Church Street Cafe with mostly the same menu and personnel, but with a little new paint and polish. I stopped in today for some sandwiches, and to look the place over. Solid food, good people - and its a bit brighter inside and out. Glad they're "back".

    New on the scene. Hot sauce

    Still kickin'. Quite busy at lunch and tight parking but worth the flashback to 1973.

    We tried this place out a few days ago and were surprised in a good way. We both ordered the whatacheeseburgers without onion, and we split a large fry. The fries were awesome. They were thick crinkle cut, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - perfect for mopping up ketchup (or if you are partial to the Belgian way of eating fries, mayonnaise). The burgers were nice and thin, but large - exactly how they were served at Dance's in Petersburg, VA when I was a teenager and was interning at a bank. I have been looking for similar burgers ever since. I have found them here. If you think a thick burger is the only way to go then you are totally missing out! Try this place, people!!!!! We will definitely be going back. The one thing I will mention is that they close at 7pm (i think) so make sure you go earlier in the evening.

I also happened to be there for Music Bingo night, which was fun! As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The fries were great actually. Very crispy, well-seasoned, and exactly what you want with fries. Sadly, the chicken tenders, were a tad overdone and a little on the dry side. Their breading was good though. That being said, the vibes, the beer selection, and the entertainment are top-notch. I'll definitely be back for another round of Mango Cart since I know they serve it well!

On this weekday during happy hour, we had a bad experience unfortunately. Our server was amazing though! Giving her props for her friendly demeanor and great service. Drinks were also cold and refreshing. Where it turned sour: our Chef's Special appetizer plate. The mozzarella sticks were hollow. Not just thin, but completely hollow with no cheese, just an outer shell. The "beef" empanadas had no beef inside. Again, mainly hollow with only a little cheese inside. Overcooked and almost impossible to chew. They were also out of some pickled items that were supposed to be on the plate, and they substituted some old strawberries, which definitely did not complement anything on this plate. We were here for a full meal, but we stopped here and did not order our main courses. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY*** Some employees were engaging in activities inside the establishment, which are not conducive to a restaurant in any capacity. A call will be made to management and/or the owner(s). We're highly hopeful this is a one-off experience and these issues will be rectified going forward. We love this place. We've had amazing food and evenings out with friends and family here. We want to be back, and I would love to update this review in the near future.

    These ribs were absolutely outstanding, perfect cook. Came off the bone easy but didn't just straight up fall off.

I was looking online for lunch specials and this place popped up saying they have a $6.95 all day monday special, so, after seeing that they offer egg on the burger and how good this deal was (plus a side) I decided to give it a try. The place was not super busy when we arrived, but I do think we missed the lunch rush as the staff was cleaning and restocking. Even though it had clearly been busy it was very clean and the decor did not feel dated and was pretty standard for a place that is borderline fast food. However, it did not taste like fast food. I ordered a burger with egg, cheese, and pulled pork. It was a perfectly cooked medium rare with the fried egg over easy. It was absolutely packed with savory flavor and a slight sweetness in the pulled pork. The egg was runny, just liked i like it, and had slightly crispy edges. The bread for the burger was fluffy and a little sweet, a perfect pairing. I ordered the tater tots as my side and they were nicely seasoned and crunchy on the outside but hot and soft inside. So so good! I will 1000% be back for this deal! If you are looking for an affordable delicious lunch and dont want a drive through check them out!

I ordered onion rings as my side. They are cut in house and hand breaded. They also come with a dipping sauce. The onion rings were good but greasy. Next time, I'll opt for the hand cut French fries! The serving size of fries is enormous! Food order is placed at a counter. If you chose to eat in, you're given a number and food is brought to your table. Only tables in this restaurant: some with only chairs and others with chairs on one side and a bench seat on the other side. All seats are hard, and with NO padding. The restaurant had a good business, with 80% capacity inside and people coming in and out constantly for to go orders. I ended up here because the restaurant I planned to visit was closed for renovations. I feel like it was my lucky day, as this burger was much better than I would have gotten there. I will return!

My husband and I were in downtown Greensboro on a Saturday afternoon and decided to hit this place up for lunch. When they called the place The Bodega, they really mean it's a bodega. It's decked out like a small convenience store from the second you walk in. We ordered our food at the cash register to eat at one of their tables outside. The cashier brought our sandwiches out about 10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the Turkey Caesar. It had turkey, shaved parmesan, marinated cherry tomato, house-made Caesar dressing, onion, and romaine lettuce in an 8" sandwich roll. It was a little pricey at $15, but it was worth the splurge. The dressing and parmesan cheese were unbelievable! Since this is in downtown Greensboro, there is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found street parking nearby. The place has a few tables outside for customers to enjoy their food. If you're looking for a good sandwich, I highly recommend checking The Bodega out.

The burgers looked great too. The menu has enough interesting options that I could see myself coming back several times if I lived nearby. Definitely worth the wait for a great sandwich.

Today I stopped in for a to go order, but next time I plan on enjoying the patio with my pup Ziggy and try one of their burgers. I ordered the Madison Avenue which is a croissant smeared with honey walnut cream cheese, smoked turkey, and granny smith apples. My side was slaw and I also ordered fries with a side of ranch. Upon walking in the place appeared clean, the customer service, not the best. But maybe someone was having a bad day, I get it. I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great. The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch. The slaw was really tasty - good ole southern sweet mayonnaise slaw, not too vinegary. The sandwich, not bad, good combo of toppings, they paired well together. I' ll be back. Anyone want to go for a patio lunch? Ciao for now
