I checked their hours and I thought I am going to be sad if I drive here and the hours are posted wrong. Sure enough, pulled up 8am and they were open! This is a great place for burgers and hot dogs. Especially if you have kids, stop, they will remember eating hot dogs for breakfast for the rest of their lives. Carry out only, no seating. Cash only. Weird hours. They close 1p! 1230p on Saturdays. What??? Check hours before making the detour. The hours on the door says they close on the third Saturday of every month.

Cute interior with different decor including sofa and upholstered chairs at some of the tables.

We both had burgers--actually, smash burgers--although they were different preparations, and they were both GREAT! Really good flavor, assembled as requested, a tomato slice that reached every edge of the bun, all those details that added up to a perfect surprise stop. Yummy!

To give you an idea, my husband and I ate there this evening and here's what we had (all excellent). Appetizers: tuna tartare with capers, wasabi, sesame seeds, lettuce, and crisps. It was well balanced and delicious. The other appetizer was Cambodian Spring Rolls, which were perfectly browned, and eaten by placing them in a romaine lettuce leaf with crumbled peanuts and dipping it in an amazing but light sauce. The textures and flavors played off of each other wonderfully, elevating it far above any regular spring roll you may be thinking of. For entrees, my husband had the special, Paella (saffron rice, mussels, shrimp, clams, and a whole crab, red bell pepper). Every item was perfectly cooked, neither undercooked nor overcooked and it tasted fantastic. My entree was perfectly cooked pan-seared salmon filet, with perfectly grilled large asparagus and the most amazing take on grits I have ever had (not your mama's breakfast grits). They were delicately flavored with butter, a hint of cheese and I don't know what else but it understated while still having flavors that seemed too complex for grits to have, without being overdone. There are menu items for both the more and less adventurous diner, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A gem in the middle of nowhere.

It was a perfect night to eat in the open air, unless you're downwind from a lady standing near the entrance smoking a cigarette , which we were, unfortunately. After we got our drinks, we waited at least 30 minutes to get our food, but we appreciated the update from one of the servers. We never did get the waters we asked for, but our pizza and chicken Gorgonzola were excellent...even on the wobbly table from which we ate! Our server was working her tail off, because according to another server, they were short three people. This place is a staple in Etown, and it will most likely be around for a long to come.

I watched them take a flounder fillet that was sitting on ice in a cooler and bread it along with some shrimp that I had ordered. In a few minutes, I had some the best fried seafood I had ever eaten. I honestly can't think of any better fried seafood I have had. There have been some places that come close, but you can get world-class fried seafood in Whiteville NC if you know where to find it. It's a little hard to find as it is not on the main drag and the signage is lacking. Make sure you bring cash as they do not take credit/debit card. I think if they did, they would do a better business as their prices are moderate. They are a little more expensive than the places that take it out of the freezer and drop it in the fryer. Another reviewer noted poor customer service. I have been there about a half a dozen times, and they have provided me, and the other customers I observed, with fantastic, friendly, customer service. I am not questioning the other reviewer's experience, but I don't think it's the norm by any means.
