    Veggie with side of bacon
    Tony R.

    Been here many times but not since I've been a Yelper! About time, huh? It's a nice intimate " hole in the wall" that fits about 50 people. Kinda like an old fashioned diner you see on old movies.The burgers here are fantastic and a HUGE bang for the buck! Fresh hand patty and a great grill taste. Hmmmm, man, now I want one. But we're here for breakfast. Getting a veggie omelette , 2 eggs, onion, tomato, and cheese$4.30(wife) with side of bacon$$1.30 and I'm getting the Western Omelette 3 eggs, onion.tomato, ham, bacon , sausage and cheese $6.15. Both come with grits or gravy , toast or biscuit. Hash browns + .25 . As busy as it was, only took 15 minutes for our food. This is definitely a local favorite for breakfast lunch or dinner.

    Double cheese burger

    The perfect little "greasy spoon" as I like to call it. They had an amazing peanut butter chocolate shake with a dream-worthy double cheese burger. The burger was huge and cheesy and delicious. The prices were super cheap and I was pretty surprised. The servers were nice, the wait wasn't very long at all. They have the old wooden bench style seating. As for covid procedures, none of the employees were wearing masks, the benches were pushed apart, but I don't believe the tables were 6 feet apart. That would be the only thing I would change and it's something for you Yelpers to be aware of.

    a burger and fries on a tray

    Good cheeseburgers, hamburgers, chili with the burgers (under the patty), sweet tea, and freshly-made lemonade. My 10-year-old daughter loved her burger and lemonade and said it was amazing. You can tell the burgers are made fresh and not overcomplicated. Probably just a bit of salt and pepper and made by hand. Crinkle french fries OK; might be frozen, nothings special. But burgers are good and make this place worth a stop. Be mindful that staff were not wearing masks amid COVID-19, though a plexiglass was up at the counter where you pay. We went to the Main Street Park in downtown Rutherfordton to enjoy an outdoor meal on a beautiful day.

    I've eaten at numerous small town diners over my 45 years and this place is just average. Hamburgers are not cooked to order (looked similar to bubba burgers) and the buns were not grilled giving them that buttery crispy edges (which is a common practice at most hole in the wall places). Sodas are coke products and you only get one refill ($1.90) and you are charged for water too ($.30). The fries are the crinkle style and there was nothing special about them (you can buy these at Walmart in the frozen section). We ordered a shake because you are obligated to do this when you eat at a shake shop! Shakes are $3.10 and are smaller than the soda cups. See pic. My son got the chocolate shake and liked it, I tasted it and did not like the flavor at all... They were busy and full of people, and their prices are comparable to Burger King. Not sure why they are so chintzy.

    I had the chicken piccata. Tasted like the sauce came from a can but it was edible. My husband had…read morethe chicken masala. The mushrooms were from a can and it was so sweet it tasted like it had maple syrup in it. He was not able to eat all of his. The waitress was very nice. You also have to pay a service fee if you use a debit card. Maybe we should have gotten the pizza.

    Been here with my parents years ago. I don't think I was too crazy about it at that time…read more When we moved here we have gone here maybe 3 times to give it a chance because my Mom likes Italian restaurants and there are none that are exceptionally good or authentic in the area. We have had the all you can eat buffet before this mess with covid, They have salad stuff and pizza and you can order Spaghetti included at the table. They do also have some dessert pizzas with chocolate on it and another with apples. Let's start with the service. Not crazy about that , let's put it this way. First of all if you order spaghetti and meatballs. As we did the last visit after they reopened for eat in after they could do eat in. The photo shows hardly any sauce. We asked for some More, they wanted to charge!!!! Now when I go to pay for dinner I'd like it the way I enjoy it not the way they want you to eat it!!! I was mad! Asked to see the manager. Not only was the spaghetti not drained enough but hardly any thing on it. Pasta is cheap and so is adding a little extra sauce when they didn't add much, it should be free!!! Your talking maybe a ladell full or a little less? To make a customer happy? When we had the buffet usually unless you go in as soon as they put the pizza out it is usually dry and looks old. You can ask for pizza that in gone and they do bring more out. We are not crazy about their pizza! The best in town is Louie's. His is authentic tasting. Here we are not crazy about the taste. I think We gave it enough chances!!! Most likely we will not go back, there are other restaurants to try in the area. Definitely we were not fans of this place!!

    This place is Spot on for Service! They are on top of refills you never have to ask!…read moreMy husband loves the beef Chimachangas and I like trying different things, J have had the chicken before and they put lots of chicken! I had the fajita salad the last visit which was very good. We have been to other Mexican places in the area this has to be our favorite by far. Everything always tastes fresh. Prices are reasonable too. I also tried the flan one night it is very good here. Overall we will keep going back, you never have to wait long for your food and there is never a wait which is nice. They stay up on cleaning too, tables dont stay dirty long! *food pics from more than one visit

    Good spot overall but a little room for improvement. I stopped by here with a few friends on the…read moreway back from Lake Lure. It was a good almost halfway point to break up the 2 hr drive. One of my friends had been before and recommended it so nobody else objected. It's right off the freeway and for arriving at 6pm on a Sunday and seeing a nearly full lot, I had high hopes. We were seated immediately at a spot facing a tv (which we requested) so we could watch a march madness game. It's an authentically decorated place with a menu to match. Our server asked for our drink orders, we all stuck with water, but it did take a bit for that to come out, which I suppose was a preview for the rest of the evening. We also got the guacamole and cheese dip; The cheese was warm and tasty but could have been a little thicker. The guacamole needed some salt/pepper. For our entrees, we ordered an assortment of plates - meat bowls, enchiladas, and I got the monterrey quesadilla (shrimp, mushroom, rice, and beans). The entrees took a good amount of time to come out- over 20mins- and when I asked the server for a group picture, he very brusquely dismissed me and never came back. Other than that hiccup, the food was indeed tasty, and the portions were huge. I could have had leftovers but ate more than I should have in one sitting and sacrificed the rest. Once we finished, we waited another 15-20 mins for our server to even return and give us the bill. While this place got the job done food wise and at a very decent pricepoint (my entree was $11), the wait time and service could use a bit more attention. @azfitfoodfun
