    Burger & fries were good. Very courteous staff. Only issues was it needs a good cleaning. Smelled of grease. Very packed with eat in & to go orders. Lots of locals who were also very friendly.

    All I have to say is wow . We were visiting the area to visit some family. We asked for a local place they would recommend and this was it. We were told this little dive place had the best cheeseburgers. Cheeseburgers!?!?!? Yes, and they did not disappoint. This truly was a little hole in the wall dive restaurant (which I think are the best). We ordered the Paw Paw Special which is a double bacon cheeseburger and fries for 6.99. Each patty was probably a 1/4 lb and absolutely amazing. A perfect grease to cheese to bun ratio. The wait staff was so friendly and on top of it. We never had a glass that went below the half way mark. In fact they topped us all off and gave us to go cups without even asking. My onlyregret is not taking a picture of my actual food.

    If you are in the Asheboro area and want a very good hamburger and hot dog, then I highly recommend you stop in at Paw Paw's Place. Paw Paw's has been family owned and operated since it opened in 2007. Their goal is simple: friendly people serving good food to local regulars and people who stop by for a meal-- perhaps after a visit to the zoo. And they deliver. Double cheeseburger: a single probably would have sufficed, but the double was excellent. They make each burger fresh when the order comes in. This is of critical importance. The burger had a nice char and was juicy and flavorful. Hot dog all the way: the all beef wiener was tasty, but it could have used a little more slaw. A generous amount of meaty chili that had a somewhat different (but good) taste. Crinkle fries: very good Sweet tea: excellent--a nice blend of bold tea flavor and sugar. This place is really neat. It is heavily stocked with locals, but I also saw a few first timers (taking pictures--dead giveaway). And the staff is very welcoming and friendly. What more could you ask for? Sent from my iPhone

    This is a tiny diner located in the northern end of Asheboro. They serve breakfast (until 11:30 AM), have a small lunch steam table area. with daily specials - they close at 3 PM.. The menu calls it a buffet, but it really is a small cafeteria setup, with 2 or 3 meat choices, and some veggies. There was some heavy traffic at it at lunch from blue collar and construction folks. Meat & 2 comes in at $5.85, with bread. The outside sign claims they serve the best hamburger in town - and they just might. The hamburger meat is never frozen, deliveried fresh 3 times a week, and hand formed. This is a good size burger, full of flavor, and goes for $3.89 - nice burger. The Chili Dog ($2.09) is only so/so, chili is thin and on the sweet side, and a little pricey - would not order again. Soft drinks are $1.59, and they bring a full to go cup with your eat in order. The FF order is well sized and goes for $1.69. Unfortunately they are the ridged, rectangular fries, with little real potato flavor, although the ones here are served crispy. The service here is excellent - fast and friendly, good country folks who greet you, coming and going.

From the moment we sat down, Kat brought a level of energy, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality that completely elevated our experience. She doesn't just "take orders"--she reads the room, anticipates needs before you even realize them, and makes every guest feel like a VIP. It's a rare skill, and she has it in spades. Her drink recommendations were spot-on--thoughtful, tailored, and clearly backed by real knowledge of her craft. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in every detail, from presentation to taste. Even during busy moments, she never seemed rushed or overwhelmed--just focused, friendly, and completely in control. What stood out most, though, was her attitude. Kat has that natural ability to connect with people--warm, personable, and effortlessly engaging without ever being overbearing. It's the kind of service that turns a good night out into a memorable one. Management should know: Kat isn't just doing her job--she's setting a standard. Employees like her are the reason customers come back and recommend a place to others. Give that woman the recognition she deserves.

It had crunch instead of being too wet or too mushy. The smashed potatoes were very good! Potatoes served like that aren't usually my thing but they were delicious and well seasoned. I ordered the shrimp and corn while my husband got the crab cakes. Some places are mostly filling with hints of crab, Full Moon was the opposite--maximum amount of crab with the right amount of "cake". The shrimp was great and perfectly steamed. The corn came out piping hot! The service was fantastic. The seating is mostly bar tops which is cool and allows for the service to be seamless. Honestly it felt like a beach vacation on a Tuesday. Our next visit will be on a Tuesday so I can try the all you can eat crab legs.

Even better than Mr Bs Bistro in New Orleans. Pair that with their free potato salad and coleslaw, and get their French bread loaf to dip into the sauce. That's an unforgettable meal. The bread is hot and fresh with a buttery soft center and crisp exterior crust. Start with their charcoal oysters. Again. Best I've ever had. No joke. And to top it off the blackened branzino from their Friday special. I can't wait to get back there. As if the food wasn't enough, their service is top notch. A true 5 star restaurant experience crammed into a mom and pop hole in the wall price.
