This is new drive thru/drive in restaurant on South Main Street in Sparta, NC…read more The menu offers a variety of sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs. There is no dining room, only drive-through or curb service. Being a hotdog aficionado, I ordered the two hotdogs, fries, and drink special. This has the opportunity to be a great hotdog! However, because the business is new and very popular, these dogs were assembled in a hurry and were a bit sloppy. With a little more attention this dog would've been great. And I'm guessing that because they're new they just don't have their system worked out well enough to handle the crowd. So let's address the dog itself. The hotdog, an all beef Frank, was apparently cooked on the grill, which is a good thing. It was flavorful and a pretty good size dog by comparison to some. The bun was toasted, as it should be, on the grill and was just perfect. The dressings is where it started to fall apart. Mustard was flopped on one end, but not spread evenly over the dog, and really should be under the dog. The chili, what little there was of it, was pretty tasty. I just like my dogs with lots of chili. The slaw was sweet and crunchy as slaw should be, but it was also rather haphazardly spread over the dog. The onions were crisp and fresh. So all in all, this was a decent hotdog; however, with a little more time, just to touch more time, it could've been a great hotdog. The french fries were excellent. Cooked perfectly, right amount of salt, and served hot. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt being new and all and will try it again next time I'm in Sparta.

We went to Trojan Patio a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning with a group of 5 (three adults, two…read morekids.) The atmosphere is more cramped than you'd expect from the outside, with limited seating options and a rather small inside area. There was some outside seating but it was very cold and windy the day we went and that was expectedly empty. We were able to cram the 5 of us into a booth (good thing kids are small!). Service was decent though understaffed, and our server was very friendly! Trojan Patio definitely meets expectations for a local breakfast diner. The grill is visible, and no, it doesn't look like strict cleanliness is the first priority (but let's be real, that adds flavor right?) The menu had many options, and adults and children alike were equally satisfied with our meals. The coffee was good and served quickly. Really my only complaint is around the cramped space, which I realize is hard for them to correct. It's a great local dive for breakfast and with more space, I can imagine they would thrive! We're rarely in Sparta, but would not hesitate to return next time we're up there.

Please do not patronize Creek Bottom Brewing…read more It is not a safe place for women or children. Creek Bottom is at the center of a local controversy involving a young man named William Ayers. In 2023, Ayers was convicted of child rape (carnal knowledge of a child) and abduction. He was released from prison last year, back into our community. Upon his release, Creek Bottom Brewing began employing him to work in the brewery--as a known convicted child sex offender. In February, while working for Creek Bottom, Ayers was arrested AGAIN for ANOTHER sexual assault, strangulation, brandishing a firearm, and abduction by force. It got a little media attention as the "Valentine's Day Rape." Recently added to his list of charges is possession of child porn and sexual abuse of an animal. Where does Creek Bottom come in, beyond offering a job to a known child sex offender? William Ayers' parents are the owners of Creek Bottom. They made the choice to employ him at their brewery, along with their many young women employees and the families who visit the restaurant. Our dollars spent at the brewery unwittingly went directly towards Ayers' paycheck. Many community members feel that Creek Bottom's owners have made horrendous decisions that endanger our community by choosing to have their son employed at the brewery, and by supporting/enabling him in other ways. It is readily apparent that Ayers' parents employ pricey high-powered out-of-town attorneys to defend their son from his charges. (Courtroom interactions between those attorneys and the father of William Ayers reinforce this, with the attorneys pulling Daddy Ayers aside for extended conferencing before making motions.) A couple of days ago, Ayers was offered bail set at $900,000. That means that if his supporters/enablers come up with a $90k bail bond agent fee, or $900k on their own, Ayers will AGAIN be released into our community. All of this is a matter of public record: past convictions, state sex offender registry that showed Ayers working at Creek Bottom until his latest arrest, ownership of Creek Bottom, recent charges, and ongoing court case with private legal defense. All members of our community can and should make their own INFORMED choices here. Sending your money in Creek Bottom's direction could literally help lead to this individual being released into our community once again. Endanger the wealth that is supporting him, and we may be able to make a real difference for community safety. Please don't unwittingly contribute to a William Ayers legal defense fund or to bailing him out to walk among us again. If you see fit, stand by us in this effort.
