    The hot dogs were everything hot dogs should be! Hot, loaded with slaw (I had white; hubby had red), chili, onions, mustard and ketchup on a fresh, warm bun. The piping hot FF's were the best that we had eaten in a long time. Our lunches were packed into a brown paper bag to go. We also ordered Cheerwine slushies and Moon Pies. We thought about eating at the tables out front, but the noise from the cars and trucks speeding past on US Hwy 52 convinced us to take our food to the Granite Quarry Park. We enjoyed the whole experience immensely!

    This is a place I tried out and tried to like. But it was just no good. This place is just a tiny building on the side of the road. It looks like maybe it was a produce stand in a former life. The parking lot is tiny and not paved. Another yelped mentioned the entrance and it is very rough. There is a limited amount of seating under a covered shelter. The menu is simple hot dogs and burgers. There is a drive through window which is a nice touch. The service was very slow considering they are not grilling anything. The hot dogs were of the lowest quality possible. Ditto for the chili. Absolutely disgusting all the way around. These things smelled so horrible they stunk up the whole car. Taste was bland soggy and just bad. The dogs were not grilled the bun was not grilled. The buns had been over steamed until they were like mush. This was likely the worst hot dog I have ever had in my life. If you come by here fellow yelpers do yourself a huge favor and keep driving!!

    Cagney's Kitchen offers solid food with many options…read more The 7 of us came in for some good dinner, and Cagney's met most of our standards. Our server was tired (given it was 8:00PM) but was very helpful and was willing to do whatever to make us happy. I ordered a medium rare ribeye, and I received a medium ribeye. My dad ordered a medium ribeye, and received a medium rare ribeye. I guess they put our steaks on the wrong plate?! Idk, but it's fine. I like creamy horseradish with my steak, and asked for the ingredients to make it and said I would make it myself, but our server made it for me! That was very kind of her! They have 36 different sides that you can choose from. I got a side salad with ranch and fries. Their salad came with shredded lettuce pieces which was odd and kind of hard to eat. The side house salad just comes with grape tomatoes and purple onions on it. The ranch is nothing special. The fries had nothing wrong with them and hit the spot! Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, which is a good thing and should be the number one goal of a restaurant (and they met it). I can't be too mad at Cagney's for my medium steak.

If it wasn't for that sad fact, we would have stopped ordering a long time ago. I think tonight is going to be the last time we give them our business. They left one of the sides off of my order, the rice that came with my dad's meal wasn't cooked properly. And the main portion of his meal didn't seem as though it was prepared properly, he said it didn't taste quite right. These would ordinarily be small issues, but they happen ALL THE TIME. We only order from there every couple of months or so, but in the last couple of years they mess up so often it's ridiculous. The last time we ordered from them, the food was decent, pretty good actually. But that was one time in a string of screw ups. I've worked in several restaurants myself over the years. I know how difficult a Saturday night can be, especially if you're busy. But, it would take maybe 30 seconds, not much longer, to check the boxes/bags of an order to make sure all the parts are there. Cagney's in Granite Quarry better thank their lucky stars that they are at least conveniently located for some of the people in our little town...if it wasn't for that, as far as I'm concerned, they'd have to close down if they screw up everybody else's meals the way they do ours so consistently.

Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.

    I've been to this location several times and have never had any issues, unfortunately that wasn't…read morethe case this time. I ordered a 9oz steak, my mother ordered a 6oz, when the lady who I'm assuming is a food runner brought out our plates I politely asked her if my steak was 9 ounces because it looked about the same size as my mothers 6oz and she replied in an incredibly snarky tone saying, "I bring out whatever you order so what's infront of you is what you ordered" and the she just rudely walked off. I cut into my steak and it was raw, I order medium rare every single time and hardly ever send back food, when I told our waiter (who I feel bad for, he was incredibly nice and he had to run around extra because of everything) he noted that it looked "really bad" that's how raw it was, no biggie I let him take it back to be cooked properly and the same lady brought the steak back to my table and said something else in a rude tone, I didn't catch what she said but I sure did hear how she said it. The steak had not been fixed, they simply heated the specific area I cut into, when I cut it completely in half it looked the exact same as it did when it was first taken back. The waiter (again I cannot stress this enough, he did nothing wrong and was very patient and understanding) ended up getting me a whole new one that I took to go, he brought it to me and had me check that it was cooked right and it was perfectly fine the second time. My issue is with the lady who ran the food out, she was INCREDIBLY rude, I have never written a negative review before and never really found it worth it but this lady was so incredibly unprofessional and someone in management needs to address that and shut that behavior down. She looked to be of a more "mature" age, had grayish/salt and pepper hair, a lot of ear jewelry (mostly in gold) and thick rimmed black glasses in a bit of a Cat eye type style. Have no idea what her name is, hopefully that description is enough.

The time before this it was the nasty attitude of the cashier and the fact she laid my change on the counter instead of handing it back to me as I handed it to her! No common courtesy at all! I swore I would not go ack but due to my mother staying in Salisbury it was the closest Honey Baked Ham store well I unfortunately decided to visit again. The owner and his wife are nice and the cashier was nice this time and I asked before purchasing the items if the turkey was glazed as the hams are and she said yes just like the hams. Due to none of my family eating ham now we decided to buy the turkey breast instead. When I told the cashier I would take two she said it will be a few mins that they were preparing the turkeys in the back and she walked to the back and came right back out with 2 turkeys and I didn't think anything about the interaction until I was preparing plates for family that would not be in attendance to the family meal. The turkey was grey looking and no and I mean not one ounce of glaze on it neither turkey breast. I also have a son in the military who looks forward to anything from HBH. Needless to say he was disappointed. He always looks forward to the HBH but again due to not eating ham he was prepared for a turkey that was glazed like the ham. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed and I mean extremely! Should I have checked the bag when I got to the car or even asked to check the turkeys before she bagged them??? Yes!!! But I honestly expected them to put quality products in the bag considering how much you have to pay for a 3/4 lb turkey. Again Iam more than frustrated and can't believe I paid right at $100 for crap no one wanted to eat because it didn't look good. Dry, grey, and not glazed! NEVER again
