Almost all the seating is high top, even in the restaurant area upstairs - if you have hip or knee issues be aware. The steps are steep. Hubby enjoyed the beer and since it serves food they offer non alcoholic fountain drinks and sweet tea. If you ask for unsweetened tea you are out of luck. My Dillinger Smashburger was amazing, hubby ordered the cheesesteak - good, but more bread than filling.

It was the very best chicken sandwich that I've ever had!!! It is breaded. However, the breading was as light as a feather, wispy thin. I'll need to toss a coin when going in the future, as I love the Bae's Patty Melt and the Chicken Sando equally. As always, there is nothing to clear by the time you are ready to leave. The staff pre-buses as the food disappears. It's such a nice touch to clear everything and not sit with a mess as you finish your drink while watching the activity on the street. I love, love this place and will bring family and friends when they visit from out of town.

The place was packed! I was thankful to get a table after ordering. We tried the single and double Bae burgers with fries and Bae sauce.

The menu however is really hard to understand. They have trays but don't explain what comes with the tray or what the difference is between a large and small tray. I've also never been to a barbecue place that only serves chicken or ribs on certain days. We asked the waitress about the mac and cheese, and she said it's just Kraft mac and cheese. A barbecue place that isn't even making their own homemade mac and cheese is insane. We ended up ordering fried pickles, a half dozen hushpuppies, a bacon cheeseburger, and 3 Bar-B-Q sandwiches. Sadly enough, the hush puppies were the best part of this entire meal. The fried pickles were fine, nothing to write home about. The bacon cheeseburger wasn't that edible, definitely tasted frozen. The Bar-B-Q sandwiches were also just fine. Satisfied our hunger but wouldn't necessarily eat them again. The even more bizarre part was that we were given no plates, no silverware, and as we were eating, we're watching the staff fill condiment bottles, leaving the old ketchup at the bottom and filling it with new ketchup. Lastly, they only accept cash and checks. This entire meal including drinks was only about $35, which seems like a steal, but the carch is that the food isn't that great. You most definitely get what you pay for at Gary's.

DO NOT CONFUSE THIS PLACE WITH WHATABURGER... THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!!…read more We saw a review of this place on YouTube and decided to try it out because it's "sorta" on our way through NC. "Sorta..." means the exit is off 85 but the restaurant is 8.5 miles off the exit. That said, we would do it again. And that should tell you mostly what you need to know because it's not super convenient to get to, but it is worth it. It also says a lot that this place was PACKED! Founded in 1955 in Kannapolis, NC, I see some similarities to what the big chain Whataburger USED to be. Which got me thinking that someone copy-catted someone. I had to know so I looked it up and saw Whataburger was founded in 1950, five years before this business.... I can only assume the founders of this restaurant visited Texas, tried that famous burger restaurant and brought the idea back to NC with them. And I'm not mad about that because, where the "famous" Whataburger has dropped the ball and failed, What-A-Burger has continued to succeed when it comes to quality. As a matter of fact, if I closed my eyes and took a bite of the What-A-Cheeseburger.... It instantly reminds me of my childhood days in Texas. The bread was fresh, the lettuce crispy, the tomato juicy, the cheese not old or congealed and the patty was fresh, juicy and had that amazing true grilled taste. We also tried the hotdog. Coming standard with chili, slaw, onions, we added mustard. And while I loved the What-A-Cheeseburger a lot, I was surprised to find (because I don't generally care for hotdogs) that the hotdog was my favorite item. The chili had a great flavor. The slaw was creamy and crisp, the onions were also crisp, and again the bun was very fresh. The hotdog itself had good flavor and snap to it. We did have a few minor negatives. The fries had no seasoning on them and the onion rings were just okay. Not bad by any means but not stellar. Neither of these are a dealbreaker for us, though. I saw after ordering that they have curly fries so maybe next time we'll give those a try. The drink selection is definitely quirky but I like quirky. While they serve some Pepsi products, they do not sell Mountain Dew. Their Pepsi lineup is limited to Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Starry. They also offer Patio Red Cherry (I don't know what that is) SunDrop, and Cheerwine; along with what they call, "The Witch Doctor." I got that and while I'm not sure what's all in it, I loved it! Definitely different and I'd get it again. Sweet and unsweetened tea are also offered. The staff were friendly and helpful and while waiting for our food, I struck up a conversation with an elderly man who said he's been coming here for as long as they've been here. Building is a bit dated, but I like that about it. It adds to the experience. They are both a drive in and a dine in place with the old carhop order stations, which again, I thought was pretty awesome. Overall, our experience here was great. This place has almost no social media presence, which while it makes finding an updated menu a challenge, I'd rather them keep putting the focus on their great food, rather than pandering to the masses. 8/10... would absolutely come back.

Extra notes: parking gets a little tight. They have several high chairs for toddlers. However, there is not a changing station in the bathroom. The service was great.
