    Super dog
    Is S.

    I was looking for a quick bite on the way home, and stopped in at Chars because I have not been there in quite a while. I like to try new things, so I picked up a super dog. First impressions, it's pretty big. I asked the girl what was in it and she said it was an all beef hotdog with everything on it. That pretty much sums it up. I picked up four napkins on my way out and then went to the truck to take a picture. My Second mistake was trying to eat the last half while I was driving. If You didn't catch that, my first mistake was only picking up four napkins. Now I'll be fair and say these are the old-school napkins., shot glass napkins, you could say. They just don't have enough coverage by themselves. However many napkins you picked up, you'll need to at least double it in order to not be sticky and you're done. Now second mistake... don't try this at home, my truck smells like hotdog and I'm pretty sure there is an oil slick on the steering wheel. Despite all of that, I've come away pleased. Some times you have to get dirty to have a little fun. Way to go Chars!

    Hot Fudge Cake

    Been coming here for over 30 years. It was the place to go when cruising Main Street to get some ice cream or a safe place for a first date. Never ordered anything besides hot dog, Charburger, fries, hot fudge sundae or a hot fudge cake. So, I can't comment on any other food besides that, which has always been consistent. Staff has always been 90-95% teenagers but have always been nice to us.

    Chard is a frosty type hamburger stop located in downtown old town. I had a Char burger and an order of fries plus a bowl of home style beef soup. Everything was very good. The soup was fresh and tasty. The burger had plenty of veggies, which I like, and the French fries were some of the best frosty fries I have ever had.. the foot long hot dog was really good, too. Bathrooms were clean, but not recently updated. Staff were very friendly.

    1/4 pound burger was probably a big deal when the doors opened here, still not too bad though. Pressed thin and fills the bun as it tries to stain my shirt. Comes topped with shredded lettuce, mayo, ketchup, and some pickles. Fries are hot and crisp but probably not made to order as they cooled a little too quickly. The dining experience is medium-fun; not a simulated retro-burger joint but a genuinely dated small town burger snack shack. The furnishings, counter, and kitchen setup nod to a simpler time and place. I think that eating in helps make the whole thing work, get an order to go and you'll lose that whiff of nostalgia that hides all sins. Not exactly sure how there's one picture of kinda the dining room with almost twenty reviews wrote (in my defense there were a dozen or so people scattered about and I try not to capture too many unknown faces. maybe next time I'm in town)

    This is what a hot dog with extra chili looks like. Please take note and improve your food, accordingly...

    The footlong were undercooked. And the drive thru girl with glasses was extremely rude. Not coming back anytime soon.

This looks like a little hole-in the-wall type of place, so I should've known it would be great! We got hotdogs all the way with no onions, I think they called them "regular." We also got fries and drinks. It was about $24 total, which isn't terrible compared to other hotdog places in the area. Everything was served piping hot and the hotdogs I would argue are my favorite of any in the area. They are a red hotdog and the white slaw and chili are almost sweet. It reminds me of the hotdogs I grew up eating at a local drive in restaurant back where I'm from. It is a walk-up stand and you're served at a window but you can take your food back to your car and eat in the air conditioning or take it back home with you. The lady taking orders was managing phone orders and in person orders while fixing drinks and calling customers up to get their food. I loved my visit to this little place and I'm going to definitely keep it in mind for lunches in the near future. Can't wait to go back soon!

I was excited to give it a try today! I had the chicken salad sandwich with chips and he had a pimento cheese sandwich with chips. They were both on toasted/grilled bread. It was so good! We also had a family member with us who had a cheeseburger and said it was great, as well! The owners were both there and came to our car a few times to check on us and treated us like family. It just made me feel good inside. This used to be a restaurant that you could eat inside, but at this time it's curb service, call in and take out, or eat on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. They are also cash only as well. The town (I guess) is building some sort of community area across from their restaurant and there is supposed to be new picnic tables and a splash pad coming. If you're there for fun and get hungry, stop in! You won't be disappointed!

But I will start with this: the service was as friendly as it gets. People talk about Southern hospitality and that's what customers find in this restaurant. Smiles, charm, asking if you have any questions, the whole she-bang. I ordered the coarse chopped BBQ plate, since I am not a fan at all of super fine cut up pork to where it resembles cole slaw. Hey, I want to know it's meat when I see it! The pork tasted delightful. Super tender, a thin, light tomato/vinegar sauce. I never expected to have leftovers, but I wound up taking half the pork home! The meal came with two sides, and I opted for baked beans and potato salad. The beans were pretty standard, but the potato salad was quite good since it was a mustard based salad instead of mayo based. I went with rolls over hush puppies and I basically got two hamburger buns, so that may not have been my best decision. And I ordered an Arnold Palmer to drink, and they not only gave me a foam cup of it, they also brought me a mini-pitcher on the side so I could pour my own refills! Very over the top and very impressive! And my bill was only $19 before tip! Good value, good food, good service.
