    Chicken Pie

    My first time here and I came in through the side door by mistake so that killed first impressions. Plus you can tell this place has been around for many years so either the food is good or they give you huge servings. It's hardly ever both in my experience. Service met the expectation. She was attentive and kept my drink full. I ordered Chicken Pie or Chicken Casserole (I'm honestly not sure what the difference is. It's a LOCALS favorite, not found in surrounding cities. I think some places call it pie and others call it casserole and I've even seen both items on the same menu). It may have been either the last serving left, scraped off the edges of the pan or it was made on a previous date and re-heated. The same with the mashed potatoes. There were hard crunchy bits of potatoes like it had been sitting out for a day or so and I got the scrapings from the side of the pan. They were not fresh. The gravy wasn't bad. The green beans were straight out of a can and seasoned with bacon or some kind of pork. They served both biscuits and cornbread. I took a bite out of the biscuit and didn't eat the cornbread. From the outside, I thought this was going to be different than what I saw on the inside. They serve breakfast here too and from the reviews and pictures, looks like breakfast may be what keeps this place open. Or the desserts. They do have a huge selection of desserts at the front entrance and they looked good. I don't think I'll be back. Not because of the service but because of quality and cleanliness.

    My mushroom and Swiss omelette was stuffed to almost overflowing and it was perfection. Cup of fresh fruit was incredible!!! We all had a fantastic meal. My 5 year old cleaned her plate! My husband raved about the made from scratch biscuits and gravy. Don't miss stopping here.

    This diner in Asheboro was super busy. There's a gravel lot on the side The waitress was on point and it's where the locals go! The food was good, including the ranch dressing.

    This place is hands down a great place. The service is great and the staff is wonderful! The quantity and quality of the food is very worth it. Sundays seem to be a busy day it's worth the wait for our family of 5. The parking is the only downfall.

    Went with my family on a whim to eat a late breakfast. There was four of us. We went to CJ'S Olde Towne Restaurant there was about a five minute wait. About 11:45AM on a Friday. The waitress was amazing and did a great job. The food was hot fresh and out quickly after ordering. Overall I give it five stars because of the price, portions, atmosphere, taste, and hospitality. If you want some where good to go I recommend trying them out, you will not regret it.

    Great place if you like the small town feel. Everyone was nice and talkative. They have daily specials that can be found on their Facebook page. My fiance said that it took her back to the good old days. It was a little hot in the restaurant and pretty busy. I think that the only thing I can complain about was the fries were a little soggy. Other than that, it was a nice place with great food.

    This was my first visit to this restaurant and I will be going back even though it is a 45 minute…read moredrive. The menu has a very wide selection of food choices. We went to arrive after the noon lunch but that didn't happen because the crowd kept coming. After throughly reading the menu I finally decided on the small plate of popcorn shrimp with a baked potato and coleslaw. Since it was my first time i wanted make sure the dish was good, and it was! When our order was delivered the oval plate was piled at least 3 inches high. I had asked for an extra plate to put the potato on so I would be able to prepare it for eating without pushing the shrimp off the plate and am I glad I did because the plate was so full I would have had to eat most of the shrimp. I was also impressed that while there was a large crowd, we were seated immediately and our orders were taken and served in a timely manner. During the short wait I saw that the staff jumped on a table to clean as soon as the guests walked away from the table. And the noise level was low and we could carry on a conversation without yelling. As an afterthought, maybe it was quiet because everyone was eat the great food. As we were leaving I saw a server bring out the regular size plate and almost fell over. It was on a round plate that looked to be 11 to 12 inches and loaded 2 or 3 inches high. As much as I can eat, I doubt I could have eaten all that! Great food, service, ambiance, what more can you ask for. I will be back soon.

    I absolutely love this place! I think they have the best seafood in the area! I had another…read moreRestaurant that I felt had the best seafood, but this place beats them hands down.

    Let it be known this is the place to go to get the best fried chicken in Asheboro…read more On the menu, it's a 1/2 Fried Chicken with 2 sides and choice of a bread. All of that for $9.99! You can't beat that price. I ordered the Fried Chicken with Creamed Potatoes with gravy, Cabbage and hot rolls. The plate came out hot and steamy. The creamed potatoes were served with some of the daily special's gravy on it. It wasn't chicken gravy but it was a good homemade gravy. Were the potatoes real or boxed or a mix of both? I couldn't tell. If they were boxed, they fixed them up to taste real. If they were real, they sure did a great job at creaming them. It's on debate. The Cabbage was cooked perfect, seasoned well. The hot rolls were not homemade but they were fresh, light and fluffy and served warm. The star of the plate was definitely the chicken. Cooked to order, it came out super hot. It was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside, meat was tender and juicy on the inside. I peeled off some of the skin and juice was dripping all over the plate. It's hard to find good fried chicken and I've been trying several of the local places but so far, this place is #1. Also, the sweet tea is GREAT! The service was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and there are lots of tables and booths, but get there early or after lunch because they were full when I arrived at around 1:30pm. I would highly recommend for the Fried Chicken.

    This is a great meat and three type restaurant. I particularly enjoy chicken pie or chicken…read morecasserole day. If you're a fan of fried okra, you need to try theirs. My daughter loves their spaghetti on the kids menu--it's a great portion and good flavor too.
