I'd give it a 3.5 but Yelps doesn't allow .5's…read more Shortstop Burger in Ramseur was an impromptu stop--and honestly, it turned out pretty decent. It's definitely a locals kind of spot: no frills, friendly staff, and quick service. Here's what we ordered: * Fried chicken sandwich * Grilled chicken sandwich * Chicken tenders (or maybe nuggets) * Burger with chili * Fries and onion rings I'll start with the fries and onion rings--those were a solid win, especially with ranch and ketchup. I'd definitely order those again. My grilled chicken sandwich was a bit heavy on the salt, but otherwise fine--nothing standout. The fried chicken sandwich looked more like a fish filet, but again, it was decent. The burger was solid, and it's hard to mess up tenders. Overall, it's a good fast-food stop: reasonably priced, friendly service, and the food came out hot and quick. If we're ever in a pinch again, we'd likely stop back by.

Slinging burgers in a tiny place like Siler City since the 1940s?! Well you gotta be doing…read moresomething right to achieve community institution status like that, and I finally had the good fortune to be in the area of this spot during their limited hours... so I had to stop in. Johnson's doesn't look like it has changed much since it first came to be. Fairly tiny on the inside, and showing a lot of wear on the outside, it's got the look and charm of a place that has spanned over 75 years of service. That said even though it is dated, the inside looked nice and clean to me. There is lunch counter seating, that if you are a tall individual, might be a tight fit for you, but the booths aren't going to be any better. So after jamming my knee into the wall under the counter, I achieved a fine degree of man-spread, and was reasonably OK after that. From my seat at the counter, I had a perfect view of their process and burgers sizzling on the flat-top grill. Each burger hits the hot top with a sizzle, is smashed down (but not quite to smashburger thin-ness), gets flipped, is adorned with a thick chunk of Velveeta cheese, and gets half a bun on top to let it steam up real good. The other half the bun is to the left, where a dedicated person is assembling all the toppings. When ready, they put the halves together, wrap it up, and send it your way. Fast and efficient, but all patties are 100% cooked to order. I also got a hot dog all the way, order of fries, and a fully sweet tea as they were out of unsweet. They were also out of pickles, and don't do grilled onions, negatives for me because I like my first try to be simple. grilled onions, pickles, burger sauce if available. They also charge extra for lettuce and tomato. I just went ahead and had my burger made the same way as my hot dog, all the way. It made for one hell of a mess, but it was delicious. I definitely enjoyed my meal, but to be honest, neither the burger or the hot dog would rank in my top 5 in the state. Doesn't really matter, as at the end of the day, I would certainly come back here because I am sure it's the best burger in the area, and given the amount of burgers and hot dogs I have eaten being "outside the top 5" doesn't mean you're doing poorly. Cash only, so come prepared, but definitely come!

I was surprised how busy it was at 10:30am and all the to go orders they were getting. I was warmly greeted when I arrived and told I could sit anywhere I wanted. I sat at the bar as I didn't want to take up a booth. Then I could watch the action. I could tell that regulars frequent the burger shop as they knew most people by name and what they ordered. The owner passed away a few weeks ago. I could sense something happened from some of the conversations with the regulars. He left a legacy that his parents started with the simple menu and the quality beef. My cheeseburger was served hot with the toppings I ordered and that melted cheese. The fries were also piping hot like I enjoy them and more like steak fries. I will need another excuse to head back this way for another burger.

If you ever find yourself lucky enough to be served by Kat, you're in for something special--and I…read moredon't say that lightly. 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.

We decided to try Biscuit Co., in Ramsuer, NC. It was my first time, though my husband ate there once many, many years ago. It was BY FAR THE BEST biscuit I've ever eaten at a restaurant. I got the steak, egg, and cheese; while my husband got a sausage biscuit and also a fried bologna biscuit. We both got hashbrowns; he got an orange juice and I got a black coffee. It took a bit to get the food because they made it all fresh. I'd gladly wait for food that tastes that good. The steak was tender. Seriously, you didn't need teeth to chew it. It was well seasoned also. Nothing like the greasy, styrofoam I've received the past several times I've gone to Biscuitville. In fact, Biscuitville steak had gotten so bad, I just stopped ordering it all together. But this place?? Man.... It was so good!!! The egg was fluffy, and the cheese actually tasted like cheese. The biscuit its self was buttery, flaky, moist, yet stayed perfectly together with every bite. My husband loved the sausage, and said it tasted like sausage was supposed to taste versus what other places are using these days. He also enjoyed the bologna biscuit as well as it had two pieces of bologna. The coffee was hot and fresh. Staff was friendly and actually checked the bag to make sure our order was correct and all there, before handing it to us and that's something you don't see at most places. It was very much appreciated!!! We went through the drive-thru so I can't speak on the ambiance or interior. It's obvious from the outside that it's an old restaurant but it had a 95.5 sanitation grade, so I'm assuming it was clean. Negatives: the sausage patty was very good, but it was way too small for the size of the biscuits, which are MASSIVE!!! The pictures don't do the size of these biscuits justice. Hashbrowns were actually tater tots but they were perfectly cooked and tasted good. We will definitely make this place a habitual stop when we're traveling through the area.

They offer dine-in and takeout, with a drive-thru available for orders placed by phone or online. Their menu includes traditional diner options such as burgers, chicken/ pork sandwiches, hot dogs, BLTs, house-made chips, fries, onion rings, and ice cream. Their service was amazing, the cashier was incredibly friendly and provided suggestions on what to order. They quoted a 20-25 minute lead time for our order, but it was ready in less than 10 minutes. It came out hot, fresh, and delicious. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, with an indoor/outdoor intercom so you can hear when your order is ready, regardless of where you sit.

Since then we go inside to get our food but they lost our business as a go to. Food is great tastes a lot like my parents restaurant when I was growing up as a kid.
