Fantastic food at a great price! Tons of different combinations of orders, and the ability to do a drink or shake! There's over 50 choices for milkshakes! For around $6-7.. per meal. The restaurant stays very busy but the lines move quickly! I always swing by here in the afternoons when I'm out, to get one of their sweet tea's. Highly recommend!

Real peaches in the milkshake delicious

OMG!!!!! A 10/10 must try this peach milkshake is so delicious & creamy I highly recommend this sweet treat. The milkshake are made with real ice cream instead of the cream milk like some restaurant. That's what makes them taste so good. They have some many different kinds of milkshake from cheesecake, pineapple, banana, to cookies & cream. I have also purchase the paddie melt hamburger befor & it was really delicious this is one of my favorite. Restaurant when I come down to North Carolina it's one of my must haves.

I stopped in for lunch today and had an uneventful experience. My food was good. The employees were nice. My order was correct. My food came out promptly. I have no complaints. I ordered the char grilled chicken sandwich(barbecue style.) I like it because it is high in protein and only 380 calories. It tastes like a chicken breast that would come off your grill at home. I ate lunch there for $3.95 since I got no sides. The cashier was young and somewhat new. She was polite and very humble. She smiled and acted like she enjoyed her job. One of the managers spoke to me and smiled. The area looked clean. They have a sanitation grade of 97.5 posted behind the register. The restroom was clean. This location met my expectations.

The line reaches the street!

STEER CLEAR!! Husband and I came out here for a wedding, originally we are from California, after the wedding it was late but we were still hungry so we drove around until we saw this place. The drive-through line was really long so we thought it must be really good food. When we got closer to the ordering screen we noticed there was actually a second line on the other side just as long. When we started looking at the menu we saw how many options they had and we got really excited thinking this must be some quality food and we couldn't wait to order. We ordered some burgers, a couple shakes, some onion rings and french fries. when I was double checking our order after we got it from the drive up window I notice we were missing the hush puppies that we had ordered, turns out the employee never heard us when we ordered them so at the very least we didn't get charged for them.When we drove back to our Airbnb we got all the food out and were getting ready to eat and then really took a look at our food. The food itself wasn't wrapped up very well, parts of our burgers were sticking out of the foil, we were still missing an order of large fries, it seemed like there was nothing but ice in the one soda that we got, and unfortunately it was actually supposed to be a Coke float and it had absolutely no ice cream in it whatsoever. Onto the burgers, the one chicken sandwich we ordered.... PINK on the inside, it was not even cooked thoroughly. Same for the hamburgers that we ordered. Both of our burgers were pink on the inside, they were put together so sloppily, the onions are these absolutely skinny strings that they layer onto the burger so they get lost in the mound of cheese they put on it..... I honestly cannot understand why this place is still open. The food was absolutely horrible. None of us felt comfortable eating after the first bite of anything that we ordered so we threw it all away and then went out and got some thing else. In speaking to the family that we have out here, they felt so bad for us. Apparently when they first moved out there they tried this spot as well and they thought it was disgusting, they felt so bad that they didn't warn us ahead of time. I am warning you, steer clear from this spot. It is disgusting food.

Love this place. Just kidding, I'm not a simp. Y'know I didn't know I lived in half-nut city. Came thru one night, they did okay, if waiting in line for three hours to be talked to by a rude-*ss Hot Cheeto girl qualifies as "okay." Came thru the second night, ordered cheese fries that we didn't get. Other than that, I wasn't too upset. Third night, got the cheese fries, luckily without an overnight shipping fee! (was denied a grilled cheese until I b*tched about it.) Used to like this place, still eat the food but I suggest Kannapolis or Albemarle, though you can't rely on them not to be even more f*ckin' stupid. Anyway, here's what I was given. Take a sick peep of my c u m - jar specialty fries.

Proof of purchase, date and time.

One star review given only because 0 stars isn't an option. Visited location tonight where I received attitude from the drive thru window so extreme we left the order and demanded a refund on the spot. We asked to see the manager outside for a discussion about their staff's behavior. When we were met outside, the manager heard us out and said "they'd handle it". (Pretty sure that this was not the manager but an employee that was sent outside to appease us) At no time did they actually acknowledge the problem or offer any sort of resolution. (For example: 'I acknowledge your problem or issue' , 'I apologize for the issue', 'Let me propose a potential solution or resolution') (Correct solution for this instance: Acknowledge, Apologize, Offer to Take the order on the spot and deliver personally (a correct order), apologize, and invite guest for a return visit) This is customer service 101!!!! Food here is never bad (even when the order is incorrect), always hot. I recommend it as long as you do not have hopes of any kind of measurable customer service.

Nice Interior

Those $5 deals just can't get any better! Chicken tenders, a chicken wrap, fries and a large drink for $5? That's two meals for me! Instead of ordering via drive thru, I went inside. The decor of the place is nice. I actually wanted to stay and eat inside, but I had a timeline to keep to. And now I'm craving me some sweet tea... Service was fast and friendly. No complaints here. Plus, the restroom was clean and stocked...bonus points!

We tried to stop and eat here while traveling but since there are no bathrooms, I wouldn't recommend that you do it either.

We stopped by with a group of 6 while traveling through Salisbury. Our neighbor recommended it so…read morewe wanted to try it out. I'm so glad that we listened to him! My parents were with us and got pulled pork & pulled chicken. I stole a hush puppy from my mom and it was delicious! Their sides were spectacular--broccoli salad, corn, and macaroni. My husband got a brisket sandwich with macaroni. His brisket was fantastic! You could see the smoke ring and it tasted smoky, it was tender, flavorful. My daughter got chicken tenders with macaroni--typical for her but she definitely enjoyed it. I got a pulled pork sandwich with white slaw, fried okra, and sweet potatoes. My dad took a few and said they were so perfectly cooked that it was like throwing down some popcorn. The sweet potatoes made me think of Thanksgiving! If you're near Salisbury, you will definitely need to stop by.

The server was attentive and so so nice, she made me feel right at home and gave great suggestions about sides and meats. The bbq was amazing! I tried the pulled pork and the sausage and I tried several of their bbq sauces available on the table. There wasnt a single one I didnt like. I went on a wednesday and you get an extra free side so I took advantage and got slaw, Mac n cheese, and the fried okra. It came with pickles and pickled onions and your choice of hushpuppies or cornbread. To be honest the only underwhelming thing were the hushpuppies. They were basically cookout hushpuppies, not homemade or original, however the okra blew me away it was so freaking delicious! I don't know how often I will take a special trip out there but if I want bbq I know where to go.

Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.
