    A closer look at the burger, the tomato was the star!
    Fred B.

    I went on a food run in to High Point since I'd not been there in a while. Back in the day, my late wife and I would pick out a spot to go to several restaurants and try the food, some were new to us, some were revisits. These trips often centered on NC BBQ, Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fried Chicken, and Fried Seafood, and sometimes a local specialty or two - think Liver Pudding in Shelby, Sonker Festival in Mt Airy, Soft Shell Crab in May on the OBX, Eastern NC BBQ and Collards in Ayden, Pork Chop Sandwich at Snappy Lunch in Mt Airy, and more. I don't do these kinds of food runs as often now, nor do I range as far afield, but there is much with in 100 miles that offers a nice adventure. On this 2 day run into High Point/Thomasville I was interested in burgers and hot dogs primarily, some new spots, some old friends! I intended to visit the Dairi-os in High Point and Thomasville, the Cook Out in High Point, Oscar's Fine Food, The Dog House, and Tucker's Grill. I also intended to pick one from Curry & Spice, Island Fest, or Sixty Six Grill in Thomasville. This was my first stop here and I ordered the Big Double with Cheese, Lettuce, and Tomato, but no Mayo. I don't care for the mayo here, it is very thin, and runs everywhere. I add Duke's mayo from a small packet, then add salt and pepper, and I'm good to go. This was a very, very good cheeseburger once adjusted, and the tomato (which you'll pay extra for, as well as the slice of cheese). The total with the tomato and cheese was $4.59, still a bit of a bargain in today's market place. The slice of tomato was huge and delicious. The service here was quick and pleasant, further contributing to the enjoyable experience.

    Very good burger can taste the pure beef like it was cooked in the backyard very good shakes and chilli as as side all under 7$..

    This Wendy's is truly the worst fast food in town, if you can even call it that. Nothing about is…read morefast. I keep going back, because I like the spicy nuggets and they have excellent in-app deals, but I am consistently disappointed each and every time. Literally -- e v e r y time. I have been around 5 times in the past month or 2, and every single time they have failed to complete my order in a timely fashion. I mobile order before leaving my house, and when I arrive 5-10 minutes later, they act absolutely flabbergasted that I am expecting food. They very clearly do not begin my food until after I arrive AND specifically ask for it, and even then they take forever. One time, I came several minutes after mobile ordering (plenty of time for them to heat up food for 1 person), and was then asked to park, despite there being no one behind me in the drive through. I waited for THIRTY MINUTES for nuggets and fries. I've also ordered through the drive through and similarly had to wait, so don't assume that this is some issue with the app alone. It's obviously just the staff at this location. And if you were thinking of giving them benefit of the doubt, let me be clear-- this Wendy's has been absolutely empty every time I go. They are not busy, they are not behind, they are not "trying their best." No one apologizes for the wait, no one speaks to me at all other than to say "pull forward" and "park over there." I do not come to fast food restaurants to be wooed, I do not care for small talk or need them to be overly enthusiastic. And yet, I am still blown away by how egregiously apathetic the employees I interact with are. If I were hiring for a job near here, I would specifically reject anyone who had Wendy's on their resume, just to be safe in case any of these kids were job hunting. That is how bad it is. They also regularly serve me cold/congealed food, and one time waited until after I paid for a $4 strawberry lemonade to tell me that they 1) didn't have any and 2) couldn't refund me. This location is clearly only afloat due to the convenient location off the highway and the general brand-trust people put in Wendy's. But unless they get new management and completely clean house, they don't stand a chance in the long run.

    Waited about 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged I was there. Only 1 person in line and…read moreemployees just standing around.

As before, I give this a resounding 5 stars. The menu has changed a little bit since I last wrote a review, and I've tried some new items. I have yet to try anything that I didn't like. My new go-tos are the raging chicken salad on a croissant and the berries and cream pastries. If you read my previous review, you will see that I was working up the nerve to try the chicken salad, because I'm somewhat meat-averse at times, and also don't like heavily mayonnaised foods, which is a big risk with any of the so-called "salad" items (potato, chicken, tuna, etc.) in life. I can now confirm that the chicken salad is 1) not overly mayonnaised and 2) made from not-gross chicken (I have no further explanation for this, but picky eaters will know what I mean). It's relatively light, has a nice texture, and is flavorful. It is one of my favorite weekend lunch items (or weekday, if I'm working remotely and in the area) now, not just here but in general. The berries and cream pastry is delicious and I would eat everyday, or even multiple times a day, if my figure and my wallet could afford it. Sweet, rich, flaky. Definitely one of my favorite dessert / sweet snack items currently. I also got a birthday cake made here and it was absolutely gorgeous (and delicious, obviously). Very well executed and totally got my vision. As I said before, there is plenty of seating inside (outside too!) and the volume level is perfect -- lots of people coming through, but quiet enough I can read, study, or do work. We spend several hours at a time in here some weekends. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through.

    One might ask themselves, "Fried chicken in a gas station?", but there are many hidden gems lurking…read morein unassuming places. After much hype and inquiring with a friend, we decided to try Pantry Fried Chicken, a.k.a. "gas station chicken", selecting a location closest to our house. We opted to order a la carte items, which saved us almost $10 (essentially eliminating drinks). Our meal consisted of chicken tenders, boneless chicken wings, fish fillet, large side of wedges, side of coleslaw, and fried okra. Soft rolls were a bonus! The breading on chicken is crunchy & tasty and comes with an array of sauce selections. The large size wedges could feed an army (at least 4-6 ppl). Potatoes were crunchy on outside (coated?) and soft & tender like a baked potato on the inside (our favorite). The okra was chewy. Now, I'm not sure how to rectify this issue as it had been sitting in a closed container, possibly trapping moisture (maybe wax paper bags?) ‍ Unfortunately , the fish was included in okra container (problem for those who don't like their food touching, but we didn't mind), and fish seemed a bit undercooked, hard to cut, a bit chewy/fishy for my liking. Not sure what type of fish they used, but I do prefer mine cooked a bit more (maybe they accommodate this request?). The coleslaw was tangy (I could definitely identify the horseradish!). All in all portion sizes are plentiful and they provide good value for the money. Everything cooked appears to be deep fried and nothing really stood out besides salt/pepper as seasoning and the potato wedges. You do get good portion sizes and value for the money. Add-ons also seem reasonable. We ordered via app (they have a rewards program) which provided follow-up texts regarding pick-up instructions and thanking us for our order/visit again. You can additional items (per piece price) to a la carte items. Again, this is located at a gas station in a strip mall near Scientific. The ambiance is storefront carryout with lots of parking lot traffic (so be aware). Not sure if dine-in options are offered (aside from your car interior). Recommend checking them out--even if it's once--and form your own opinions. (I was raised on broasted chicken/potatoes, so I may be a bit biased.)

The12 spots stretch from Jacksonville NC in the east to Hendersonville in the west! And there appear to be plans to expand into Greensboro, and perhaps Burlington. I like that these are company run operations, it can make quality controls matters easier to administer and monitor. Perhaps the biggest contributor to inconsistent quality at fast food chains is the quality control mandates are not vigorously enforced. The only major chain that I'm aware of that does insist standards be met is Jersey Mike's, and they have even suspended franchisee agreements of non- compliant stores. This is a very nice location, bright and shiny with easy access to drive thru or parking. I ordered two hot dogs, one with mustard and sauerkraut and one with mustard, chili, and onions. I don't order the combo here because I don't care for the FF. As usual the hot dogs were excellent, and I am becoming quite fond of the sauerkraut dog - the kraut has a nice bite to it. All in all this was a very good spot, perhaps the best Dairi-o I've visited.
