    We were excited to eat..until we turned around and saw 2 MASSIVE Cockroaches just chilling on the ground. As someone with a hobby in entomology, I was thoroughly impressed with the size of them.. they've been eating good, considering the old toast on the ground w/ a crumb trail leading to the dead bugs (crumbs included in photo). However, we DID come to dine, so I'm giving the least amount of gold stars possible. With peace & love, get someone to clean that Brady Bunch family reunion up! Servers were super sweet!

    I have only been for breakfast, however I did enjoy it each time that I have been (besides their gravy)! The place is older, and a little run down. But the food and staff are good.

    And it's taste very weird with a thick texture. They probably just add flour to the same mix everyday.

    Place looks very old, but sometimes good food comes from those type places. Ordered biscuits and gravy and y'all.... They gave us brown dinner gravy with biscuits. That's all we ordered and our drive and money was a waste. Never coming back!

    Not on the highway signs, but good clean eating!

    If you are traveling I-85 and then going north on NC 321 turn south at the interchange and go 150 yds.. Looks like an old HoJo's, has stained ceiling tiles and cheap wall paneling, but the food and staff is great. Cheap breakfast, lunch or dinner. Plenty of parking, and did I mention really good food for little money. Very fast service and very good coffee.

    one shift open 6 to 2 most major credit cards accepted what's interesting is the cash incentive me reflecting taking a picture of that

    1965. Interstate 85 is completed in to Charlotte from the south end. coming through Gastonia North Carolina on the outskirts really your only main drag before you got to town. located off another main drag us-321 coming from North and South out of hickory working its way on down into other states before the Interstate 77 Howard Johnson's motor inn's were everywhere at the time..In your travels to places HoJo's could be found anywhere notated by their sign and of course there legendary restaurants with their full service diners and the classic orange and white spired buildings you could tell a HoJo from a mile away. well in 1966 Howard Johnson got in on the North Carolina building boom and opened up a motor Lodge hear in Gastonia.. it would stay that way until 2001 for 35 years when it would convert over to a days Inn.. still at the same location 53 years now while the hotel has a new front office it still has the same motor Lodge look and it still has the original building for the diner..yes although it's definitely now considered a classic roadside dive and it has that feel to it you're not going to get 5-star frou-frou food and service you may be lucky to get clean silverware the first time around LOL.. but if you're a fan of classic Americana this is your kind of place it is a dive and it takes pride in knowing itself is a dive.. no remodels much of it looks like 1966 still all the original patina still there the original building design of a hojo right down to the spire..although the spire is now more of a aquamarine or teal color what you will see though even though the steeple is totally missing you can definitely see what was once back in the day orange and white a Howard johnsons. why there's been changes through the years for many years now it's a one shift restaurant because it get let's face it one exit up you have Walmart Target all your 20th and 21st century big box places and all your chain restaurants nobody wants to run down here for fancy dinners. but if you like good old-fashioned breakfast with no frills this is your kind eating joint.. service can be a little slight sketchy but the food fast quick greasy and good..I had the blueberry pancakes that was really impressed by the fact that it wasn't a fancy batter with blueberries and side it was just good old-fashioned pancakes already made thrown on the grill with a homemade like a blueberry sauce and fresh berries put on top didn't even need to put any maple syrup on it was so good..another thing I noticed about this place I'm looking at other pictures their sausage is very much burnt it has a crispy taste to it but it tastes delicious it almost looks like it's dried out and yucky until you cut into it and realize they have a unique way of doing it and I like it.. the original floor is still there it's almost looks like it's in need of repair but it's not there's really other than the newer modern TVs on for a customer convenience that's about all you're going to find this modern in this place it's like literally get rid of the TVs and with a little bit of newer bric-a-brac on the wall you might think it was 1982.. classic roadside food. People complaining about service because you know what you get when you walk in your just getting barebone stick-to-your-ribs food. you're not getting any kind of gourmet you're not watching your calories which is why they are so slammed all the time. sometimes there's even a wait to get into this place on The Weekend thus it hard to believe but it's true people like to make the journey here I think it's because of the fact is a nostalgia to because a lot of the whole HoJos are gone they've been torn down they don't even exist anymore and it's cool to still see one especially if you traveled when you were a kid and you remember seeing Howard Johnson's everywhere now you look around and it's hotels with fancy dining rooms like at a Holiday Inn but they're still none of the Classic motor lodges which is what Howard Johnson was what it brings back a lot of memories for people traveling. I was able to get my truck in there and I was happy and I had a nice good old-fashioned greasy breakfast I left satisfied and I will definitely return again if I can get in there and their side of the thousand cars in the parking lot knowing I could get my 73 foot truck on out of there. but I love good old-fashioned roadside dives and I really like original ones that were built back in the day cuz my favorite decades are the 20th century from approximately 1954 through 1982 those are my favorite years of nostalgia for Trucker Kev. but walking in and seeing the high ceilings and everything else I looked at some of the reviews and I thought you know what let's do it it's early I get my truck in it's breakfast time my stomach is grumbling glad I did now definitely come back again..

    The whole floor was like this and worse.

    Let me start off by saying that this place is so unassuming. Like how delightful can sandwiches…read morereally be? Extremely. My husband and I have been to this restaurant about five times now. We always order the same two sandwiches and we share a half each, so we get the best of both worlds. The steak is perfectly cooked to a delicious and tender medium, the chunks of meet are so tender and delicious and the sauce just sends it over the edge! I love the chicken sandwich as well the slaw really brightens up the chicken and the sauce also sets it off! We also got a house made juice it was green and the name is escaping me-- either way don't forget yours! The dragonfruit one is also delicious and very refreshing! This place will have you full off of there very generous portions. It looks like it's not a lot but you'll be walking away with a full belly wondering how a Peruvian sandwich could be so GOOD?!

    I am visiting from California, and if I ever come to North Carolina, I am definitely making a stop…read moreat this restaurant again. The restaurant is clean, bright, and beautifully designed. I've had many yucca fries and these are the best. They're crispy and the sauce it comes with is perfection. I prefer the bowls over the sandwiches to minimize carbs. You can't go wrong with any of them. Key lime pie: I'm ordering this again. This Keylime pie beats any Keylime pie in the Key West. I like that the custard has some lime shavings for texture. I also appreciate that they use meringue instead of whipped cream. The dessert is perfectly tangy. Chocolate cake: it's a really good chocolate cake. It's such a simple dessert yet not everyone gets it right. I personally prefer the Keylime pie, but for the chocolate lovers, this might be the best chocolate cake. Santiago cake: a high protein cake with almond and eggs. I actually make this at home often but I wanted to compare mine with the restaurants. The texture was good, but it had a refrigerator taste to it which I didn't like.

    A to-go order in the middle of the afternoon (not prime time) for a sandwich shop with a few people…read morewaiting should not take 20+ minutes! What a waste of money - who does a sandwich on a cheap burger bun!! Don't wait your time - disgusting!

    This is a great little shop in downtown Belmont. They have quite a large menu and are open through…read moredinner time. Some cafes in the downtown area close by 2pm. It is a very small shop that also has ice cream counter. It is not separate so when they are serving ice cream, there could be a wait to order. You order, pay, and they bring your order outside to you. There is a big covered patio with lots of seating. We ordered 2 chicken clubs and one buffalo chicken wrap. Each come with sides. We had potato salad, macaroni salad and potato wedges. Food is reasonably priced and came out very hot. Very good food. Decent sized sandwiches at a good price. We definitely did wait a bit for the order, but people place online orders and come in for these as well, so you don't know how many orders are ahead of you. Busy is very good, not a complaint here. These ladies do look like they could use more help. Maybe someone just to serve ice cream, so they don't have to stop what they are doing with food orders. They have very good food and good prices. Nice stop enjoying downtown Belmont on a sunny, warm Sunday. 4 stars.
