This is new drive thru/drive in restaurant on South Main Street in Sparta, NC…read more The menu offers a variety of sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs. There is no dining room, only drive-through or curb service. Being a hotdog aficionado, I ordered the two hotdogs, fries, and drink special. This has the opportunity to be a great hotdog! However, because the business is new and very popular, these dogs were assembled in a hurry and were a bit sloppy. With a little more attention this dog would've been great. And I'm guessing that because they're new they just don't have their system worked out well enough to handle the crowd. So let's address the dog itself. The hotdog, an all beef Frank, was apparently cooked on the grill, which is a good thing. It was flavorful and a pretty good size dog by comparison to some. The bun was toasted, as it should be, on the grill and was just perfect. The dressings is where it started to fall apart. Mustard was flopped on one end, but not spread evenly over the dog, and really should be under the dog. The chili, what little there was of it, was pretty tasty. I just like my dogs with lots of chili. The slaw was sweet and crunchy as slaw should be, but it was also rather haphazardly spread over the dog. The onions were crisp and fresh. So all in all, this was a decent hotdog; however, with a little more time, just to touch more time, it could've been a great hotdog. The french fries were excellent. Cooked perfectly, right amount of salt, and served hot. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt being new and all and will try it again next time I'm in Sparta.

The burgers were perfectly cooked and excellent. The wedges were good but a little on the greasy side but we ate them all. The meal was only $8.50! That's about $5 less than most other restaurants these days! Coke was only $1.99. Our server, Sdyney, was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Since the restaurant is on the second floor, climbing a long flight of stairs is necessary...but well worth it. The menu includes Filet of Salmor for $9.99; again, very reasonable. We will try that next visit. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality, service, and the prices. We Highly recommend giving them a try.

Their bowls always hit the spot and leave me full, satisfied, and feeling good. The service is always great and the staff is very welcoming. I will also note that I have never had a problem with my order here, they always get it correct. The menu allows you to order one of their bowls or curate your own. You can also add or take away certain ingredients to one of their bowls as well. Some of my favorite bowls are the Balboa, the Mayweather, and the Tamari. The bowls are super filling and packed with all the ingredients. Their chicken is also really good, not dry, and seasoned well. If you are in the area and want a healthy, filling meal, check Roots out! I am dying for them to open a location in Gainesville!!

Just the other day as I was driving around doing some errands, and looking for a place to have an…read moreearly dinner, I discovered this fresh casual restaurant in the heart of Downtown Salem, in Salem, Virginia. At first, I was attracted by its white building front with light green awning and pink highlights around the building and its front door as well as around the restaurant's front sign. Its small patio in front with black iron outdoor dining furniture also attracted my attention. So I drove around looking for a place to park my pearl white Lexus, and I was lucky to find just across the street a few empty free 2 hour parking spaces. I parked in one of them and proceeded to walk to the restaurant. On one of its front windows it read: "Freshens - Fresh Food Kitchen." As I walked in, I immediately felt comfortable in this clean and bright environment with modern decor. The walls were brick walls painted white and decorated simple, with framed enlarged photographs of close-up of fruits & vegetables like tomatoes, corn, and strawberries, just to name a few. The floors were light color hardwood floors. Lit menus were located above, behind the counter, with items such as Smoothies, Grilled Flatbreads, Salads, Artisan Melts, Acai Bowls, and Rice Bowls. When I finally found the "Order Here" sign, located above an area of the counter, a friendly, young lady employee greeted me, and when I told her this was my first time there, she tried to find me a paper menu, but they had ran out. I ordered from the menu on the wall. To drink I ordered a Maui Mango Smoothie, that had mango, strawberries, and bananas. And to eat I ordered their a BBQ Bacon Chicken Grilled Flatbread. The Maui Mango Smoothie had just the right texture and tasted amazing.The mixture of its three fruits made it tast almost like guava, which is also one of my favorite tropical fruits. When my Grilled Flatbread was ready, they called me to pick it up. It tasted amazingly delicious! While I was eating, several other customers came by. Most of them had ordered already and just came to pick up their food "To Go." Others stayed and ate it there. The food and the smoothie were so fresh and healthy that I felt great after I finished them up. Oh, and for dessert I had a sliced of their Peanut Butter Pie and it was so soft and tasty, that made me want to return soon. After I returned home, I did my research and found out that this establishment was recognized as the 2026 leading Vegetarian Restaurant in Salem, Virginia. I highly recommend it and had wonderful healthy dining experience there.
