Then, this year happened. I wish I knew what happened, but Odell's is BACK! They have the same yummy food they were known for and the service is great! They are so friendly and prompt. We always joking called it "Slow-dells" because of how they would take 45 minutes to bring the food AFTER you called it in prior to driving there. Now, we pulled up and placed the order and it was out piping hot within 10 minutes. Absolutely amazing! I don't know what they changed, but they've cracked the code and I wish them all the success in the world! Our food: Mom got a cheeseburger basket, which was perfect! Husband and Dad got Big Moe baskets, again perfect. I got a hotdog (for old time's sake) and it was everything I remembered as a kid. So delicious and nostalgic. I also had a chicken tender basket and it was good. It wasn't the same chicken tenders and bbq sauce that it used to be, but like most places, that is hard to keep the exact same over the years, especially with varying food service providers and whatnot. If you previously had stopped going here, give them another chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

I had a footlong all the way with fries and finished it off with Krazy Kolor Ice Cream. It was all yummy, but nothing any more special than another burger and fries joint. The establishment itself is rather messy. I wouldn't say dirty, but tons of tables empty and un-wiped. Bits and pieces of trash here and there. The drink counter had stuff spilled all over it and trash on it as well. The workers here have no personality. We've been here twice in the last six months and everyone we've interacted with has been dull and unlively, which is a bummer. They have a drive-through which is great if you want a hot dog or burger and fries to go in a rather quick time and there is patio seating available.

First, they forgot half of our food and I had to remind the waitress about it. Then, my gravy biscuits were cold and when I mentioned it, the waitress took the plate, microwaved it, and brought it back to me. I wasn't expecting that. The biscuits were a little dry. I'm not sure much of it is homemade, as we saw the delivery of frozen food while we were there. The pancakes, plain and chocolate chip, were really good and my husband loved the bacon. My cheese grits were good and the sausage was pretty good. The prices were low.

We parked and looked over the Menu and decided to order a couple of Hamburger Combos. It came with Burger ( With all the Trimmings ), Fries, and a Drink of your choice. The service was quick and the lady took our order and it came out at a very reasonable time. Our server that brought our food out was very courteous and had a big smile to greet us. My Burger was fantastic and the fries were hot and extra Ketchup and Salt were provided. My Soft drink was just as I order it and it was refreshing to taste. This was my first time eating here, but my wife had been here before when they came out on Roller Skates. ( Shows our Age )...... The place was clean and that makes a good impression on visitors coming in from others Towns, Cities and States. I like that clean home idea with all of the Mayberry Memory items on display. I will certainly come back to try some of the other items on the List on the Menu. I promise if you like to eat, they you will certainly like this place. Oh, I forgot to say that the prices were excellent in these uncertain times for many folks. I din't take any pictures, as I was busy enjoying this good food. Good Day!!!

The food is consistently delicious and served hot, which I really appreciate. On my last visit, I ordered the Triple Play, which came with sliders, pretzel bites, and chicken tenders with BBQ sauce.
