As you walk in you note the feel of it being a converted diner made to look like a country place. You grab your own menu, seat yourself, and walk up to the bar/register when ready to order. If the first time, you need a minute to get your bearings. Food ordered (3% fee is not using the cash "discount" FYI, pretty common around here and absurd given these OBX prices). Drinks are self serve. Some coke products and excellent tea. This was the end of breakfast around 10:30/11, so it was empty. Service was pretty quick. (they bring it to the table). I thought the breakfast pricing was fair. Shrimp and grits for $12, etc. Especially for the portion sizes. Two things I didn't care for. -The ceilling tiles were crazy dirty and stained and the flor light bulbs were uncovered. -The shrimp and grits needs a re-do. It's huge, with a base of grits, ladels of bacon gravy, and about 5 shrimp and cheddar cheese. It's more like a shrimp, grits, gravy, cheese casserole. I would have much rather had a base of grits, the gravy scooped in the middle with shrimp stuck in it, and topped with cheese. Even with all that you'd think there would be flavor. It was kind of bland minus the occasionally greasy/burnt bacon piece. Also, the shrimp were flavorful but over-cooked and tail on, which is traditional--but in the casserole were a pain in the butt to get the tail off/cut. I know they can do good flavors and plates. My spouse's chicken biscut...omg the hand-breaded chicken was fantastic! My son's baked apples were to die for. You Philly visitors will be happy to see scrapples on the menu - yuck. All in, I would repeat and stick to chicken and the chicken coop.

If you have a hankering for an authentic Philly cheesesteak, these sandwiches will hit the spot. Located in a strip mall, restaurant offers cheesesteaks, hoagies (using Boar's Head meat & cheese), burgers, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, sides, and fountain drinks. There appeared to be a bar area with taps, but not sure if they were functional. Provides counter service with indoor seating. Staff friendly, efficient and delivered food to table. Food was fresh, hot and delicious--and, as an FYI fries have crispy coating.

I'm a little disappointed they don't know what loaded tots or totchos are, so plain tots it is (sorry I didn't have more than ten minutes to explain what loaded tots are- it's kind of like being at Starbucks and ordering off the "secret" menu, you either know or you don't). Food comes out relatively quick and our waitress is super polite. I greedily open my sandwich and take a big bite. It almost tasted like the burger was cooked with fish sticks. It smells funny but I'm starving. For about twenty bucks, our tummies are full. But I'm sure I'll be regretting this later.

I really enjoyed each of the dish and all the beers that are on a tap is the highlight of the restaurant. There are two long tables in the middle for larger groups. The seats are surrounded by TVs and a great spot for the family. The second shift breakfast burger is delicious! The Pork belly BLT is also more refined and will please finer palates. The crispy apple jack chicken has all the ingredients for a delicious sandwich. But I would replace the 3 chicken tenders for a large chunk of chicken breast. That would make the sandwich perfect.

That said we walked in and I wish we'd stopped on our way in: the margaritas look real good and they advertise margs to go! Our kids each got cheese quesadillas, they came with juice and chips. We asked for a side of sour cream with each which they added. I got a burrito bowl with their house mild salsa and pulled pork. The pork was good definitely made in house (we make a similar recipe). It's a little on the salty side, but yummy. The dish was a good size (I didn't finish it) and came out fast! My husband got a brisket burrito with the mild salsa also. He liked his food and said he felt like the salsa was good and influenced how he felt about the burrito. Also, this is NC after all so they have Cheerwine on tap which is always a welcome surprise. All in all: great spot for quick Mexi-kind.

For the food, I had huge hopes because my husband told me this place has the best BBQ in the area. He got the brisket "burnt ends sandwich", Mac and cheese and beans. His was good. The meat was tender, beans were a good combo. The Mac and cheese was a 6/10. I ordered pulled pork sandwich and I'm pretty sure I got the pork bbq thats sold in those big white tub. The bun (which was different than the bun on my husband's sandwich) was awful. I had to toss it to the birds. The pork was fine, but again, wasn't the high quality I expected after his huge praise. Honestly after 3 bites, I didn't finish. Since his was good and mine was a bust I'm meeting it in the middle. I'll definitely have to try something different if I come back, but I might also just go down to Southland.
