There was a time (in the not to distant past) when I thought Piggly Wigglys were just a made up…read moremagical place used to describe Southern grocery marts from days of yore. The possibility of a real life Piggly Wiggly existing was so far outside my realm of possibility I nearly crapped my pants when I discovered that they were alive and well and living in North Carolina! The nearest PW to me was a 40 minute drive outside Raleigh in what I perceived to be the middle of nowhere. It was smaller than I was expecting, more of a "market" size versus a "grocery store". They had all the basics (meat, cheese, bread, etc) but what was particularly interesting to me were the "not so basic" items! There were ham hocks, specially made hot dogs that happened to be bright pinkish in color and all sorts of other southern staples that I'd never heard of before. Culturally, I felt very satisfied after my visit but the Piggly Wiggly isn't someplace I could see myself shopping at on a regular basis due to the limited stock of merchandise. Most everything I saw on the shelves was processed food. Besides that prices seemed fair and employees were not only helpful but friendly- Oink! Oink!

We love to find these types of places. It is a gas station, convenience store and lunch counter. We…read morewalked in through the convenience store to the lunch counter. We ordered the double cheese burger (comes with meat chili, onions, cheese and mustard) and one double hamburger with lettuce tomato onion. The double burgers were 1/2 pound. We also ordered some house made coleslaw. We sat at the one booth and we served very quickly. Our burgers were really good, the burger itself tasted good. The coleslaw was also a big win. We had 2 double burgers, coleslaws and 2 fountain drinks for 22$, great value and great taste. It is a true locals place run by a family. The family pictures on the wall and everyone coming in seems to know the staff. They have a drive through which also keeps them busy. It is not a fancy place but has a family lunch counter vibe. Well worth our detour off the interstate.

Our usual biscuit place was closed and we stumbled upon Papa Jacks. We drove in to the parking lot…read moreand didn't realize it was connected to a gas station. And they even have a drive thru for the restaurant. We walked in and it's a small little spot but the ladies in there are all hustling in the kitchen. They have a variety of items on the menu and at 11am it switches to lunch. We had just made it to get a bacon,egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit had so much flavor and just that classic North Carolina biscuit taste. We also loved the hoop cheese that is from NC. We definitely will be back. It was adorable and delicious. Thanks to the girls for making our breakfast!

Gas is cheap, can use bathroom, get something to eat. We ordered from Arby's (separate review) Place requires face masks during this Covid time. There are floor signage reminder of 6' distance but who knows whether people adhere to that (some didn't and went different way but were wearing masks), cashier staff at both Arby's and across the other side of Center weren't wearing gloves but how would one do that on the register. Other staff members were. The negative, the bathroom (women) of the three stall, the first was broken, missing door and yellow Do Not Enter sign. It gives a really bad impression though the bathroom was at least clean, had motionless paper towel dispenser, not motionless sink. Not really a negative but amazing what impression gives. Not sure if they work, there were a couple of those massage chairs across of the public restrooms.

I'm getting suggestions to review so many of these places so it's a little bit of a catch up I was recently in here about a month ago. I had been avoiding it for quite some time because it got really scummy. Yes it had the Dunkin' Donuts coffee they didn't have the supplies right they weren't making it fresh it was a real garbage pilot half the time to fuel Islands you were lucky to get one or two pumps working that weren't out of order. The bathrooms were funky unky and skunky. Some of it had to do with lousy managers here and lousy employees. I have reviewed separately though the Arby's because even though it's in the building it's not run by the pilot staff. It's a decent Arby's. The reason I'm up in the three stars here though is because it has become average across the board they have got better managers in it is a lot cleaner than what it was and a lot of the diesel pumps are fixed. So we'll just leave it to that for now and we'll see what happens in 2023
