Today was my 2nd visit to Nicks and on my there from Asheboro, I was thinking I would get there…read morebefore the after work/dinner time rush. Boy was I wrong! I walked in to a packed restaurant with a line almost out the door. The young lady at the counter tells me before I order there is a 30-40 minute wait on the food and while that sounds ridiculous, I drove all the way from Asheboro for one of their burgers because I already know it's worth the wait. No problem! The place is right off the main road and there's plenty of parking with additional parking in the rear. The inside appearance is that of a burger joint. Not too fancy but clean. I ordered the Jr. Cheeseburger with extra cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo, a Hot Dog all the way, Seasoned fries and a Sweet Tea. Their burgers are served hot and are cooked until the edges are "lacy" and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. They use potato buns and they and are so fresh and grilled on one side which gives the burger additional good flavor. The fries are cooked perfectly, served hot and lightly seasoned. And you can get some of their homemade ranch to dip them in. I know they are known for their burgers but they also have AWESOME Hot Dogs! The weiner is grilled and again, the bun is grilled on one side, just makes your tongue all kind of happy. I ordered my hot dog "All the Way" aka "Carolina Style". The chili was good, the white slaw was fresh and light, onions added a hint of sweetness, and the mustard ties all of the flavors together in a well made, high quality hot dog. They also have really good sweet tea. Nicks has the BEST burgers and hot dogs in the Triangle area and I highly recommend but get there as soon as they open or you may find yourself waiting in line. But do go.

This burger should come with a warning: you'll be thinking about it long after you leave. The…read morepatties were unbelievably juicy with those perfectly crispy, charred edges that every burger should have. The melted cheese was dripping over the sides, the bun was soft and fresh, and every bite just kept getting better. The fries deserved their own round of applause. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and so addictive I kept telling myself, "Just one more"... about 30 fries ago. I don't know what kind of magic they're working back there, but they absolutely nailed it. This wasn't one of those burgers you eat because you're hungry--this was the kind you eat in complete silence because you're too busy enjoying every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have covered outdoor picnic tables with fans running overhead, which was a really nice touch. It made sitting outside comfortable even on a warm day and gave the place a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Safe to say this place has officially ruined mediocre burgers for me. I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need two orders of fries because sharing isn't going to happen.

My standards are higher than I thought--that was the worst fish sandwich ever! While it was hot, it was very greasy and had absolutely nothing else on it--no tartar sauce, slaw, lettuce or even mayo, just a greasy bun to go with the thin, highly breaded, very greasy piece of fish. It was so crusty and greasy, I couldn't get any fish taste. It was a nice size but I could not eat it for fear of what that much grease would do to my stomach! I'll wait for a McDonald's next time!

The place is set by the big chair and railroad tracks. It looks inside like it could have been part of the train depot back in the day. The inside is train themed and they have some awesome lights. For apps we tried the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and the pork spring rolls. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly breaded and the pimento cheese had a nice kick to it. The pork spring rolls came out piping hot and were crunchy and flavorful! I got the meatloaf with ketchup, cheese grits and green beans. They give you a slab of meatloaf here! The recipe is perfectly seasoned and comes topped with onion straws. The green beans are cooked with bacon and onion and are full of flavor. The cheese grits were the cherry on top - they were creamy, they were cheesy, and they almost melted in your mouth. I brought my husband home a NY strip, onion rings and mac and cheese. The steak was cooked and seasoned well - he's an A1 guy and didn't put any on his steak. The onion rings were still crispy when I got home and seasoned well. He liked the mac and cheese best of all. It was super cheesy and salt and peppered to his liking. I cannot wait to come back and try out more of the menu - and get more cheese grits!

I took one of the wooden booths that line the walls and say beneath the car, truck and racing paraphernalia that adorns the walls throughout. The service was fantastic given that I was the only one to care for. I ordered the BLT plate with tater tots and a hot dog. The BLT was served on a toasted bun. The bacon was thick and had just a slight chew to it. Just the right amount of mayo and tomatoes cut to a good thickness. Hot dog was pretty great. They put a real generous amount of mustard *under* the frank then topped with chili and a nice creamy slaw. If the bun had been toasted it would have been darn near perfect. Appreciated the self-serve seasoning salt at each table. Tots were good without but especially good with. Thunder Road Grill was worth the drive and I hope to return!

Stopped by Dairi-O in Archdale after disc golfing at Creekside Park and it definitely hit the spot…read more I ordered the double burger and, as someone who always asks for extra pickles, I have to give them credit -- they actually delivered. So many places throw on one or two extra and call it a day, but this was a legit pickle situation. The crinkle-cut fries were seasoned and really good, the milkshake was decent, and the burger was solid overall. Nothing fancy, just classic fast-food comfort done well. For two double combos and a chocolate shake, it was $29 and some change, which felt pretty reasonable. I'd definitely grab it again if I'm in that area. Perfect post-disc golf fuel.

Also our waitress was excellent and took care of our every need. I ordered the 12 jumbo wings in boom boom sauce and my wife ordered chicken parmesan. My wings were perfectly cooked with a nice crisp outside and tender juicy meat on the inside. The boom boom sauce is great I loved it. My wife's chicken parmesan was good, it was a typical chicken Parmesan. Taste wise it was good the only complaint was it was watery a little at the bottom which ended up soaking into the garlic bread on the bottom making it soggy. I'll definitely be back to eat here again maybe breakfast next time because I've heard from others they serve an awesome breakfast!

The waitress brough menus and waters, quickly, and gave us time to look things over. One thing I'll say, is it's time for them to get some new menus, the writing is rubbing off and parts of the menu are completely illegible. I was excited to get their brisket hash that I'd gotten several times in the past, but looking over the menu they no longer serve that, or any other "brunch items", this was a pretty disappointing discovery. I ended up getting their Bacon Pimento burger, which was good, and filling, just not what I had my heart set on. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, but it wasn't exactly the brunch we were hoping for. I suppose we'll have to find a new brunch spot.
