The space itself is nice--plenty of seating inside and out, a private room in the back, clean bathrooms and even a stage where live music was playing during our visit. But the food situation was confusing. They have a full kitchen and menu listed, yet when we arrived, they were only serving food from a BBQ food truck/side business. Not sure if it was a staffing issue, a special event, or just how they do things on certain days, but it definitely wasn't clear for someone just passing through. Beer-wise, they had a decent range of styles, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise. Everything was just... okay. Not bad, but not memorable. Service was similar--there seemed to be only one guy behind the bar running things while the rest were tied to the BBQ setup. He wasn't rude, just not super engaged. All in all, this place was fine, but nothing WOWed me. With a little more clarity on the food, a stronger beer lineup and more upbeat staff, it could be a much better stop for travelers passing through, or even the regulars.

The ladies behind the counter are consistently friendly, which makes it one of my favorite stops coming from Maryland. Most of the time, I stop there to refuel and use the restroom, but I've always been tempted by the fresh, homemade-looking food. On this visit, they had fried pork chops that looked like they had just come out of the pan, so I finally decided to try them and I'm glad I did. The pork chops were perfectly fried and seasoned just right. Definitely worth the stop!

I pulled into the gravel lot in front of the Buy Rite and had trouble finding a spot to park. Clearly they were busy for lunch. The exterior and interior don't do much to provide ambiance per se. The interior is part general store, part restaurant, and part screen printing business. Everyone in front of me was ordering fried chicken (and being told they'd have it in 12-15 minutes). But me? I was there for a hot dog. I ordered one all the way with no onions, fries, and got a fountain drink. I stood around the screen printing machines until my number was called then took my order to the car as all of the inside seating was taken up. Five people who, seemingly knew each other, all sitting at different tables. Didn't leave much room for anybody else. The hot dog was ok. They had forgotten to leave the onions off. The chili had good flavor but the slaw was boring. The fries didn't have any seasoning on them. All in all, just a disappointing experience for me. That being said, I'd definitely return for friend chicken someday.

"You been there?" I asked my buddies. Nope. "It's not just a convenience store, right?" Shrugs. It's Friday. It's July 1st. Why not celebrate the coming holiday with America's culinary gift to the planet: the triple cheeseburger. I called it in, the very polite lady on the phone took my order. "You want everything on that, baby?" Yes, ma'am. Kitchen sink. I'm on my way. Sam's is a place where everyone knows everyone. It's a grill, but it's also part of a community. And when I rolled in, I felt like part of it. I waited a while, because the day of the week and the month meant everyone was getting takeout. I had a great side chat with the other guys waiting, and watched them pay out all three burgers and grill them. First time here, I said. "Oh, you'll be back, baby. You sure you want slaw and chili?" Of course, I let them know that there is no other proper way to dress a burger, and they agreed. I brought my greasy brown paper bag of goodness (after grabbing my combo soda out of the cooler) back home. Everything was wrapped tightly in wax paper, and after hurriedly tearing it open, I was rewarded with just a classic Carolina burger, stacked high and falling over under its own mass. Not greasy, not gooey, just freaking delicious. The fries were wrapped in a little paper boat, crisp crinkles. This is another Oxford gem. Friendly, not fast, just great food. It's hidden in plain sight, and I'm not sure why people aren't crushing this place weekly.
