    On my day off, I pointed my Tahoe south, and just drove. I eventually wound up in Troy, NC at lunch time. A Yelp search found Martha's Grill in nearby Star, NC It has a 4 star rating, but the data set is REALLY small with only 5 previous reviews. Looked kind of divey, though, so I headed that way. Definitely a divey place that is well stocked with locals. VERY reminiscent of Tucker's Grill in Horneytown. I ordered the giant cheeseburger, a hot dog all the way, and fries. The cheeseburger was a 3.5 star effort, with a nice char on the outside and a good flavor. That it was cooked slightly too long is my only gripe. The hot dog was excellent: 4+ stars. As I mentioned in my review of The Dugout, the wiener makes a huge difference in the hot dog experience, and the one Marth's uses has a really good flavor. I was shocked to learn that it was just a food service hot dog--but it was really a good tasting dog. The chili was good but a little mild, and the slaw was tasty and not too dry and not too wet. The things that push this to 4 stars are the quality of the hot dog and its price: $1.55 for a very good hot dog is very hard to beat. Furthermore, the staff is very friendly. One concern I had was the 90.0 sanitation grade. It is three days later and I'm still alive, but this needs to be fixed. The area is beautiful--at the foot of the ancient Uwharrie Mountains. You can definitely enjoy a lovely drive in the country in this area, have a good lunch, and rub elbows with some locals.

    Truly a gem to fine on our afternoon adventure. Food was fresh, hot, delicious and good price. Outdoor seating is great for our puppy.

    Wonderful food. Down home style food prep. Excellent service very friendly. The only drawback is, they don't take credit cards.

    I tried this place a couple years ago after they first opened and it was pretty good. I was in town…read moretoday and had a taste for soul food so thought of them. I was very disappointed. Service was ok, I have no complaints. It was very clean and smelled clean as well. Really was only like 3-4 people inside. Now let's get to the food. I ordered grilled pork chops, rice and gravy, fried okra and a roll. Also lemonade to drink. Lemonade was really good. Pork chops definitely were baked and not grilled with no seasoning at all, just pepper and salt . Rice and gravy was unseasoned and okra was just ehh. 1 of the porkchops were 85% fat . I gave 2 stars because of the lemonade, maybe this was a bad day for them but I will not be coming back. Oh and they charge if you use your card

    New to the area and came across this little spot. The waitress, Kym was phenomenal. She was not…read moreonly great at her job but she was amazing with our three small children. We ordered three kids meals, including a hot dog (a little charred) cheeseburger and chicken tenders. All were made fresh and were kid approved. We also ordered the chicken breast meal with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was slightly overcooked but we all know chicken can be finicky. It also came with cornbread but that was not edible. It was essentially a brick of grease. The mashed potatoes and green beans were star of the show! Delicious. Overall, we had a good experience and will be back!

My dining mate had a turkey sandwich with gouda and a side of fries, also very good. The restaurant also featured a small salad bar, priced for how many times one went back which I thought was unusual. Overall all enjoyable meal.

There is plenty of space and tables for dining.I ordered the burger and fries. The burger came with onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and banana peppers with your choice of cheddar or provolone cheese. As you can see, I chose cheddar, and I added bacon. The burger had one small strip of bacon, about two small pieces of banana pepper, and about two small round pickles; it was a bit disappointing because they skimped on those toppings for the size of the burger. Overall, the burger was okay. The fries were like crispy fries. I did like that they were hot. I noticed something was on the plate near the fries, so I didn't eat many after that. I honestly was starving, so I was grateful for the little bit I did eat, but yeah, it was not as pleasing as I would have hoped for in a meal here.
