The food is absolutely amazing. We order the Big ben burger, the meat is tender and juicy with…read morebacon and cheese. Big Ben costs $9ish. The hot dog is alright, nothjng special. We try their Tater Tot (thumb up), sweet potato waffle ( ) and onion ring (avoid this). Total is less than $25. No table, just order and eat in ur car.

I love places like this, and I have stopped by here on several occasions now when the weather is…read moredecent and I am in town for client visits. This is your typical independent roadside joint that was popular back in the 1950's but have now managed to die out in most parts of the country. There is ample parking out front, and the area you order from (pictured) is inside a set of double doors. There are places to sit, including a cool old school rocking chair, while you wait for your food to come out. All items are made to order here, so you will have to wait a bit but it is worth the wait. For breakfast my favorite is the wagon train sandwich. This is double bacon, fried egg, and pimento spread on a Kaiser roll. Killer flavor combo and be sure to get a side order of hash browns extra crispy to go along with it. The homemade biscuits here are similarly a must try. This place closes at 2 each day, so keep this in mind if you are after some lunch. The Big Ben burger is essentially a homemade bacon double cheese burger topped with their house made chili. Yum. It's a winner. They also have daily specials which you will find on a dry erase board inside where you order. This is mainly a take out joint, but they have an outdoor picnic area which makes for a great place to post up on nice days. Staff is super friendly and prices are cheap. I am sure I will be back next time I am in town.

We always stop here on our way to Fort Bragg and this restaurant never disappoints whether it's for…read morebreakfast or lunch. The food is incredibly delicious. The servers provide you with that southern hospitality and are extremely welcoming, and they really take care of their customers which is very nice to see. If you're driving down 95 north or south and you want some good food at a very reasonable price please consider stopping here. You will not be disappointed.

If you're judging this place by its looks, don't. Tucked beside the grocery store of the same name…read morein a strip mall, Smith's Red & White has that no-frills country diner vibe. It's unassuming...and absolutely packed at weekday lunch for good reason. Even with a full house, we were seated quickly, and the service was outstanding. I never caught our server's name, but she was wonderful. Everyone here treats customers like neighbors instead of table numbers. We even watched servers pull up a chair to chat with regulars about what to order. That's not slow service--that's small-town hospitality at its finest. My husband ordered a burger and fries, and let me tell you--that burger came stacked, fresh, and delicious. I had the house-made pimento cheese sandwich with onion rings. The pimento cheese wasn't quite my preferred style, but it was still tasty. The fries and onion rings were standard, but they did the job. A word of warning: if you ask for "everything" on your burger, be prepared for the kitchen to interpret that very creatively. Chili? Sure. Whatever else they can find? Quite possibly. Consider yourself warned! One thing I'd love to see improved is pricing. The menu and hot bar don't list prices, so you're ordering with a little faith. Also, the sweet tea lives up to its Southern reputation--it is sweet. Thankfully, you can mix it with unsweet tea if your dentist would prefer you did. We didn't try the hot bar, but watching plates of meat-and-two sides come out made me second-guess my order. And don't even get me started on the desserts. The cobbler and banana pudding looked downright sinful. If you're looking for fancy, keep driving. If you're looking for genuine Southern hospitality, hearty home cooking, and a dining room where strangers chat while waiting in line, you've found your spot.

Y'all, we are SICK of Sysco/US Foods restaurants with powdered eggs, rehydrated taters, onions,…read moregravy (?!) and frozen/chef mike picking up the slack for what could be done in literally a cast Iron Skillet. Rather than going to the local places, including golden trough, shcmenny's, no-iron-nor-skillet, we ventured to this little greasy spoon and dare I say, it's legit but is NOT greasy?! Apologies, I was too hungry to get a pic of the menu but I can assure you it is solid. Walk in, order from the menu board overhead the cashier then seat yourself. Salad bar (not pictured) was well loved. We ordered two home style plates with coffee and a side of gravy for each and came in just under $35 with tip. COFFEE was great. Not a fan of the fact they didn't have real whole milk or cold half and half available but not once did any of the staff NOT ask if we needed topped off or more coffee. The sausage patties were solid. They had a bit of a hamburger taste to them so there could be some flat top cleaning that is in order. Eggs were real eggs. The biscuit I wouldn't write home about and the gravy was clearly a powdered mix that had been churched up with the aforementioned hamburger and sausage grease, hit with some pepper and slapped in a 4 oz bowl. Made for a good condiment. Speaking of condiments, everything was clean to the touch. Table, sugar packet holder, napkin dispenser, salt & pepper, the tables, the chairs. The restaurant itself did not throw off "truck stop" vibes although the scenery from the crystal clear windows was the only reminder we were, indeed, at a truck stop. I asked for hot sauce, they only had Texas Pete. YMMV on that and it's OK. Everything else I asked for was spot on fantastic. If they had a breakfast buffet with this caliber of food available, this would be THE place to stop on I95 in NC and attract the locals, too. It beats any breakfast I've had in ENC by a country mile. Kickin myself for not trying this place before. Biscuits are meh and not a fan of tipping at POS when ordering before even being served. Will order hashbrowns with onions next time and only one side of gravy because it's not REAL gravy but does make for a nice meal. And yes, there will be a next time.

Nothing like a truck-stop diner for a fantastic breakfast!…read moreFresh biscuits, fried egg, cheese and a decently thick slice of country ham made for perfect breakfast sandwiches to which the chain biscuit places can't compare. Friendly staff! Cooked-to-order. Roomy with lots of indoor seating, and a few tables outside as well... although my order was to-go.
