    Burger & fries were good. Very courteous staff. Only issues was it needs a good cleaning. Smelled of grease. Very packed with eat in & to go orders. Lots of locals who were also very friendly.

    All I have to say is wow . We were visiting the area to visit some family. We asked for a local place they would recommend and this was it. We were told this little dive place had the best cheeseburgers. Cheeseburgers!?!?!? Yes, and they did not disappoint. This truly was a little hole in the wall dive restaurant (which I think are the best). We ordered the Paw Paw Special which is a double bacon cheeseburger and fries for 6.99. Each patty was probably a 1/4 lb and absolutely amazing. A perfect grease to cheese to bun ratio. The wait staff was so friendly and on top of it. We never had a glass that went below the half way mark. In fact they topped us all off and gave us to go cups without even asking. My onlyregret is not taking a picture of my actual food.

    If you are in the Asheboro area and want a very good hamburger and hot dog, then I highly recommend you stop in at Paw Paw's Place. Paw Paw's has been family owned and operated since it opened in 2007. Their goal is simple: friendly people serving good food to local regulars and people who stop by for a meal-- perhaps after a visit to the zoo. And they deliver. Double cheeseburger: a single probably would have sufficed, but the double was excellent. They make each burger fresh when the order comes in. This is of critical importance. The burger had a nice char and was juicy and flavorful. Hot dog all the way: the all beef wiener was tasty, but it could have used a little more slaw. A generous amount of meaty chili that had a somewhat different (but good) taste. Crinkle fries: very good Sweet tea: excellent--a nice blend of bold tea flavor and sugar. This place is really neat. It is heavily stocked with locals, but I also saw a few first timers (taking pictures--dead giveaway). And the staff is very welcoming and friendly. What more could you ask for? Sent from my iPhone

    This is a tiny diner located in the northern end of Asheboro. They serve breakfast (until 11:30 AM), have a small lunch steam table area. with daily specials - they close at 3 PM.. The menu calls it a buffet, but it really is a small cafeteria setup, with 2 or 3 meat choices, and some veggies. There was some heavy traffic at it at lunch from blue collar and construction folks. Meat & 2 comes in at $5.85, with bread. The outside sign claims they serve the best hamburger in town - and they just might. The hamburger meat is never frozen, deliveried fresh 3 times a week, and hand formed. This is a good size burger, full of flavor, and goes for $3.89 - nice burger. The Chili Dog ($2.09) is only so/so, chili is thin and on the sweet side, and a little pricey - would not order again. Soft drinks are $1.59, and they bring a full to go cup with your eat in order. The FF order is well sized and goes for $1.69. Unfortunately they are the ridged, rectangular fries, with little real potato flavor, although the ones here are served crispy. The service here is excellent - fast and friendly, good country folks who greet you, coming and going.

Even when it's crowded it doesn't feel cramped. The staff is also super friendly and efficient. As far as the menu goes, I love having options that other fast food restaurants don't have. They have the good ranch which is unheard of for a fast food chain and the jalapeno ranch is on another level. My go to when visiting is always a burger add cheese, hot dogs, and chicken tenders. I love that they have sweet potato fries as a side item which I also always get. This order has never let me down. I always highly recommend dairio for anyone looking for a yummy fast option!

They are again offering a seasonal item, Chili Bean Soup - 12 ounces for $5.99, and includes sour cream and crackers! I added shredded cheese which was 50 cents additional. The chili has ground beef, black beans, pinto beans, chopped white onion, chili powder, other spices, and a touch of garlic. The chili is thick, and very flavorful , much more a stew than a soup, and I'll most certainly have it often as the temperatures turn colder. The shredded cheese added a lot to this dish, I'll double it on my next order, and ask for double the 4 saltines I received. The Chili Bean Soup, while flavorful, is mild. I added the contents of a packet of Texas Pete at various times as I ate. Between this soup and the Brunswick Stew at Honky Tonk, this is setting up to be a toasty fall and winter!

It had crunch instead of being too wet or too mushy. The smashed potatoes were very good! Potatoes served like that aren't usually my thing but they were delicious and well seasoned. I ordered the shrimp and corn while my husband got the crab cakes. Some places are mostly filling with hints of crab, Full Moon was the opposite--maximum amount of crab with the right amount of "cake". The shrimp was great and perfectly steamed. The corn came out piping hot! The service was fantastic. The seating is mostly bar tops which is cool and allows for the service to be seamless. Honestly it felt like a beach vacation on a Tuesday. Our next visit will be on a Tuesday so I can try the all you can eat crab legs.

A couple of weird things I saw that kept it from being 5/5 stars but otherwise it was a great experience.

Chicken Alfredo was actually Amazing and had a bit of a smoky flavor. The value was also incredible. The bread they give you that's complimentary was really good.

I had already chosen my "carved turkey Reuben sandwich", yum, when I first went at around 12:30-the line was out the door, so went to my appointment, hoping I could get back by the 230 close time. Returned at about 215 yay, and happily walked right up to the counter to order my lunch, when I was told they were out of carved turkey (the way the server explained it sounded like an ingredient in the Reuben was out, not the actual turkey. I asked if the "simple turkey sandwich" had carved turkey, and I was told no, it was deli meat-deli meat is so processed and unhealthy. I was super disappointed. So I opted for a Smashburger after asking how they liked it and she said it was "delicious". Well, it's not a Smashburger. It's a double burger on a nothing special bun. I was going to take the bun off and eat it with a knife and fork, and I was looking for those yummy crispy edges on a authentic Smashburger. They didn't exist. This was a double cheeseburger with very thick patties. I think they were grass fed so kudos to them for that,, but it was incredibly dry sadly, and when I saw that the bun had been toasted with butter, I put it back on and had a couple more bites, but was super disappointed-and trust me nobody loves a great cheeseburger more than I but now I love smash burgers as well!. I also ordered the Orzo cucumber and feta salad (as well as the french fries) on the side and while it was OK, it was nothing special. French fries were just meh. After all the stellar reviews I had I was very surprised that they would make a double cheeseburger and call it a Smash-burger-I wish these restaurants would stop doing that, it's misleading, other restaurants do this too. And for the money I spent, I should've just gone to Shake shack! I DO think it's worth a second chance, and I will say everybody there was very kind on the Service level and it's an adorable, really beautiful spot and vibe ! I strolled around and looked at the merchandise afterwards. So hopefully I'll be back but just super disappointed I didn't have a nice meal and left hungry.
