The ladies behind the counter are consistently friendly, which makes it one of my favorite stops coming from Maryland. Most of the time, I stop there to refuel and use the restroom, but I've always been tempted by the fresh, homemade-looking food. On this visit, they had fried pork chops that looked like they had just come out of the pan, so I finally decided to try them and I'm glad I did. The pork chops were perfectly fried and seasoned just right. Definitely worth the stop!

Family members ate there and became very sick. Meat in the meat case rotten and moldy.read more

I visited Buy Rite of Oxford on my way home for Thanksgiving. I travel up 85 to Richmond so it…read morewasn't too far out of the way. I pulled into the gravel lot in front of the Buy Rite and had trouble finding a spot to park. Clearly they were busy for lunch. The exterior and interior don't do much to provide ambiance per se. The interior is part general store, part restaurant, and part screen printing business. Everyone in front of me was ordering fried chicken (and being told they'd have it in 12-15 minutes). But me? I was there for a hot dog. I ordered one all the way with no onions, fries, and got a fountain drink. I stood around the screen printing machines until my number was called then took my order to the car as all of the inside seating was taken up. Five people who, seemingly knew each other, all sitting at different tables. Didn't leave much room for anybody else. The hot dog was ok. They had forgotten to leave the onions off. The chili had good flavor but the slaw was boring. The fries didn't have any seasoning on them. All in all, just a disappointing experience for me. That being said, I'd definitely return for friend chicken someday.

This was actually my first ever visit to an Aldis. It is a smaller grocery store than I am…read moreaccustomed to. Typically I would go to Food Lion or Walmart to grocery shop. I and a friend only purchased one item since we were only visiting to check the place out. It is smaller but carries all the essential items you would purchase from other grocery stores. A bunch of brands that I had never seen before and not as much variety in the same category of items. One thing that stood out to me was only being one option for purchasing eggs. That was amazing! No regular size, jumbo, or whatever variation of eggs. Only one option which is kind of a trend throughout the store. I love the simplicity of it. I did see that you bag you're own groceries and you had to use a quarter to take a grocery cart which you get back when you place it back in the stall. That's a great way to save on staffing extra employees and keeping the costs down for customers. I really enjoyed my first ever trip to Aldis and will for sure head back sometime in the near future.

I'm not sure why I love Carolina hot dogs like I do, but I do. And I'm on a never ending quest for…read moregreat Carolina-style hot dogs--not all hot dogs here in the Old North State are Carolina dogs. Discussing my passion for great dogs, my aunt mentioned a grill in the back of a convenience store in Butner. I set out around lunch time one Monday to see if her recommendation would make the cut. Her food has always been fabulous, but some time in the 80s, she married a man who preferred canned biscuits to her perfectly made biscuits of love. But I'm digressing again, as I'm apt to do. Anyway, I had to ask her a couple of times to be sure I'd know I was in the right place. The convenience store has gas pumps and apparently a car wash. In fact, the only signage I could find was "Tom's Car Wash" along the side of the building. There is a restaurant attached, but that's not the grill I'm reviewing. Once inside, it's a typical convenience store, circa 1975-80. It's not an old country store, and it's not a bright and shiny Family Fare. It's local and friendly. Lots of folks seemed to know each other, and to be honest, I probably knew at least five or so folks they know, but I decided to be in cognito. The grill is in the back. It's mostly to go, but there are two tables. If you want sweet tea, you can purchase it at the grill, but if you want a Coke or anything else, you have to purchase that at the convenience store check-out and buy your food independently. The grill serves several sandwich-type items and a main dish or two a day. I was there for the hot dogs, though the idea of home-made chicken and dumplings was rather tempting. Their hot dogs are regularly the best priced I've seen in the Triangle in a LONG time. Less than 1.50 per hot dog, including mustard, slaw, chili, and onions. But I hit it just right. On Mondays, hot dogs are just 99 cents! I can't say these were the best hot dogs in the world but they are pretty darn good, and the price just can't be beat. The location is a bit out of the way, but if you find yourself in Butner with a hankering for a darn good Carolina dog, you know where to go.
