    Fried Pickles, excellent
    Fred B.

    You rarely, if ever, find Eastern NC BBQ anywhere near this far west, but you can find it here, the restaurant proclaims! But it is not really Eastern N C BBQ - they do not cook whole hog, they cook with gas, and as served the rather coarser chopped pork has little if any vinegar taste- there is a vinegar and pepper sauce on the table. The slaw is labeled Mustard Slaw which is definitely not an Eastern N C BBQ staple. It is much like the mayo and mustard based slaw that was served for over 50 years by Bill Spoon's BBQ in Charlotte. This was not bad BBQ, but it is more a hybrid NC cue, a bit like Hursey's in Burlington, except for the slaw. I might try it again if in the immediate area, but this is not destination pig. The Brunswick Stew was ok, but the veggies were of the frozen variety. The Fried Pickles and Fried Mushrooms are excellent, as is the Ranch dipping sauce. Point: this is NOT Pulled Pork, it is Chopped Pork BBQ!!!

    Service by Yaz was great! Prices are very affordable and food was tasty. And if you like NASCAR you will love the ambiance.

    Pulled pork, wings, mac &cheese, fried okra

    If you're a NASCAR fan this is a must stop! There is plenty of decor to see, the food is AMAZING (I'm a very picky eater) portions are a good size and I highly recommend the loaded float for a yummy adult beverage. Our server Lisa was so sweet & friendly and was able to give great food recommendations or answer any other questions we had. This was our first time here and she never got impatient with the amount of time it took for us to order and our drink glasses never got low. I will definitely ask for her again when we come back.

    10/10 atmosphere if you're a NASCAR fan. I'm from texas and very stuck up about my superior Texas BBQ but for a NC spot this place is fun, filling and delicious. And let's just be honest, you can eat animals sitting in a Dale Earnhardt themed school bus. If this isn't the greatest country in the world I don't know what is. Support America and check this place out. Heather was great.

    Awesome atmosphere! We are a racing family , so we really enjoyed the all of the racing decor! Kristina was our server and she was fantastic! The manager checked on us to make sure our experience was great! We especially loved the cheese curds!

    The service and the atmosphere were amazing! Christine was very helpful with my first time exploring the menu. Garlic parm on the wings was the move!

    Hush puppies (complimentary) but ordered tartar for the side

A side of crumbled feta accompanied it to toss in - and it definitely added to the flavors!!! I originally came here for the fried catfish - and it did not disappoint! Two pieces of fish, two sides (collards and broccoli cheese) and hushpuppies was $16.99. I had originally gotten the squash but I'm not a fan of breaded and fried. My server was gracious and let me swap it out. My service was quick, my server was the absolute sweetest and I'm already trying to figure out my next visit!

We ended up ordering 2 fountain drinks, the spinach crab fondue, the seared scallop appetizer, farmers cobb salad, a caprese avocado panini with onion straws and a side of fries, french onion soup, and the espresso creme brulee. First and foremost, the food came out insanely fast. The seared scallops with creamed corn and pesto was fresh and delightful with a great sear. I do wish they were a bit bigger for the price, but it was a nice starter. The spinach crab fondue was so nice and hot when it came out that it was still bubbling. Strong crab flavor, a good portion size and plenty of fresh chips. The farmers Cobb salad had lots of seasoned fried chicken in it, the greens were fresh and the blue cheese dressing was nice and creamy. It even came with a fresh dinner roll. We advised the server we were going to split the panini and she was nice enough to plate them separately putting the onion straws on one and fries on the other. It wasn't so much a panini as it was just a ciabatta sandwich. The bottom bun was soggy as was the bacon but it was still very cheesy and tasty. The fries were hot and fresh and the onion straws weren't greasy and had a nice crunch. The French onion soup was hot and cheesy and was a nice portion. Could have had a bit more onion, but it hit the spot for the price. The espresso creme brulee was very very delicious. Not too sweet, had a great texture and came with a fresh strawberry, however the top could've been a bit hotter. A great way to end the meal. Overall, the meal was $99, which I think is very reasonable. Food came out quickly, tasted hot and fresh and thats exactly what you'd want on a cold day. Will definitely be back to try other menu options.

The restaurant itself is very clean, service is very friendly and if you get the opportunity to sit outside on the patio, you will not be disappointed. Parking is a little tricky because it's not a big lot and you are sharing it with the restaurant nextdoor and the condo's.

This spot is one of 4 remaining locations of a chain begun in 1956 in the Concord area. The number of locations maybe reached 14 or so, rising and falling as spots came and went. There are 2 locations in Concord and 1 in Kannapolis, in addition to this one. This one Is newer and in a little better shape, the other three are worn to the point of shabby. This is as old school drive in as you will find, with curb service, with ordering boxes that you can barely talk thru. The menu has some variety, but this place is about burgers, dogs, fries, Cherry-Lemon Sundrop, or Witch Doctor drink. This place, from reviews, is as inconsistent as the other three - and I've eaten at the other three. We got the What-A-Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles, a Footlong with mustard, chili, and onions, along with FF, a Witch Doctor, and Sundrop. The burger and hot dog were solid, but not spectacular, and the FF were simply awful, cold with no flavor. And yet I enjoyed this experience, the nostalgia raises up the food and the moment. It's akin to having a hot dog at Yum Yum's or Pulliam's, or a burger at The Castle or Beef Burger, or a BBQ sandwich at Stamey's!

Do they have the best hush puppies according to my 11 year old? Also yes. At this point I don't know if I love the idea of this what-a-burger more than the actual lunch we get here once a year, but I come back faithfully and I think my kids would start a mutiny if I skipped it. I love the corn dog, I have the palate of a raccoon if I'm being honest so take it with a grain of salt that I also really like the burger since I get extra pickles. I just really like pickles, okay? I try not to interact with the staff too much, there's a general vibe that they're one bad interaction away from a meltdown and I don't want to contribute to anyone's bad day. This probably seems like a bad review but this place is so drive-in and divey that I feel like Guy Fieri would have a blast hanging out here and it makes me happy. Come try the witch doctor pickle soda if you're brave.
