Yes, Harold's was featured on Diners Dives and Drive-ins and I've had it bookmarked since then. I…read morerarely get this far off the interstate but today, we're passing through Gaffney downtown and it's dinnertime and I figured, let's do it! Surprisingly empty on a Thursday evening, I was welcomed by the two ladies working and I took a seat. My drink and food order was taken and my cup of sweet tea arrived a moment later. The chiliburger plate with fries was the special dinner of the day. Two burger buns loaded with their chili and a big pile of fries. The chiliburger is halfway between "Sloppy Joe" and "Meatball Sub" and it's delicious. This was a good portion, very inexpensive, very filling. I enjoyed it very much!

While on a road trip today, my daughter-in law and I stopped by Harold's Restaurant after spotting…read morea sign along the interstate. It advertised the location as one visited by celebrity foodie Guy Fieri, which piqued our interest enough to give it a try. When we arrived, we learned that Guy had actually stopped by years ago. Unfortunately, the waitress we spoke with wasn't familiar with his visit or what dish had earned his attention it was before her time. Stepping inside felt like walking straight into the 1960s: the décor, the atmosphere, even the energy gave off vintage diner vibes. The waitress greeted us with a smile, but seemed somewhat puzzled, especially when we asked about substituting fries on one of the menu items. She informed us plainly that no substitutions were allowed. My daughter-in-law and I both ordered the chili burger, which ended up tasting more like a sloppy Joe. The burger itself was thin, greasy, and reminiscent of something you'd find in a kids' meal. That said, the restaurant was clean, both the dining area and the restroom, and service was impressively fast. There's also a bar tucked away near the back by the restrooms. All in all, I was expecting something more memorable, especially given the celebrity endorsement. While the menu does offer many inexpensive options, the experience didn't live up to the hype for me. Harold's isn't a place I'll make a point to revisit.

Stopped on a road trip for an early dinner. First impression wasn't very good. Needed a bathroom…read moreand it wasn't very clean including sticky floors. Having never been I was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices and let my wife order for us while I found a table. The floors were sticky, the table was stick, and some moron was on their phone using speaker phone. My wife ordered two Philly Cheesesteaks making one a 'jumbo' to include onion rings, fries, and a drink. Service was friendly & helpful for us newcomers and the food was delivered quickly by the friendly staff. So as much as I was concerned about sticky floors and all that, the food really was delicious. The cheesesteaks seemed to be more bun than meat, but honestly it was a perfect balance of meat, cheese, grilled onion AND a PERFECTLY crispy AND soft bun. The sandwich truly was magnificent and really well balanced/proportioned. I thought the rings were a bit under cooked, but I was fooled again! Onion was soft, well cooked, and flavorful. Fried were definitely undercooked but I don't generally eat French fries so all good. Cole Slaw was middle of the road. I struggle with a rating but sticky floors, sticky table along with a few environmental things really drag down my overall perception. Friendly/competent staff and an excellent sandwich will hold a steady rating of three. Would I eat there again? It is on of the few unique non-chains in the area and I know what to expect going in. So if I need to stop on the area, I'd more than likely stop again thanks to staff and food!

They have rave reviews but I wasn't wowed yet. Food was decent and staff were friendly. I'm not…read moresure if we've had the best food they offer yet so I'll have to come back. Best thing we had was the buffalo chicken wrap. I'll update the review once we come back again. I'm gonna pass on the fries and onion rings next time though, they aren't with the extra $3. The restaurant feels like a diner but you order at the counter and bus your own tables. Pete's has so many items on the menu I'm sure we will find our favorites soon!

Lunch service has been going on a couple of months now and I finally got up here. First the menu is…read morerespectable with panini's, other sandwich's, salads, and their legendary wings. I started off with the roast beef and cheese panini with regular chips. The roast beef had a great beef taste. Sometimes you get something that has no taste. This has it, needed a little salt but that's just me. As a lunch spot it was a great move for Trackside. It was busy but Brian had it running smooth. Well done and will be back to try more from the menu. Thanks Trackside Taproom!

After dinner across the street without a beer, I was ready for a wind down and something that might…read morekeep me from getting heartburn. Chiliburgers and fries? Bruce, what were you thinking? Trackside was warm and welcoming. Several people were digging in to plates of wings that looked really tasty. I ordered a beer at the bar and brought it to a table towards the back. Sitting with my laptop for an hour or two to write Yelp reviews and plan tomorrow's route, it was nice to watch the comings and goings here in this fun little spot. Friendly, kind, clean. The bartender stopped by a couple of times to check on me and yes, I ended up having a second beer. Yes, the wings look great and they have two dozen or so beers on tap with a bunch of cans/bottles in the cooler. Great little spot in downtown Gaffney.
