Ketchup, mustard, onions, slaw, chili, and hot sauce- these are your toppings options. We make it a point to come to Melvin's every year when we come to White Lake. I wouldn't call them smash burgers but the way the secret blend of meat crisps up on the outside is something I haven't found where I'm from. When you step inside and see the line don't fret. They move customers thru like a machine. Everyone behind the counter has a responsibility so burger and dog production is high. I've heard they only make so many burgers a day so if they run out you are out of luck. The chili for topping the burgers and dogs is homemade as well and is bangin'.

I came here October 6 , 2021 with one of my high school friends who now lives in Laurinburg and I live in Las Vegas , Nevada. We were driving around town and reliving those days of growing up in Bennettsville and going to school there. We graduated in 1985 , Green Gremlins ! This was my fathers favorite place to get a footlong chili dog with onions and I would always get a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. So , of course I had to honor his memory and get one. Well they were out of footlongs , so I got 2 regular chili dogs with no onions for me , but we did get onion rings and french fries. I have to say they are still the best chili dogs I've had and I have been all over the country and several countries while in the Army. If you were to can that chili sauce they would make a fortune ! They now have a dining area inside , but we ate outside at one of the picnic tables near the creek. When we were in high school everyone used to ride around Dairy Dream and hangout in the back parking lot, small town living. Back in the days they only had an outside window that you would order your food and pickup from. They had picnic tables outside or you could eat in your car. The selection of food is way more than when I was a kid too. I'm so glad to see they are still in business and a local favorite. So many things from our childhood have disappeared and only live in our memories. The sign is always up high and filled with uplifting bible quotes.

Stopped in here on our way through town as we headed north to NC…read more It's a popular place at lunch, with what was obviously nothing but locals. As we were not, we definitely got a few strange looks, which I definitely expected. There's maybe 10 spots to park along the side and they've got maybe 10 tables inside in which to sit. Pretty limited menu of burgers, dogs, and frozen crinkle cut fries from the heat lamp. Overall, I'd rate the cheeseburgers and hot dogs we had as completely forgettable and below average. Definitely not worth what they're charging ($3.95 for a cheeseburger, add like 70 cents for lettuce and tomato). Hate to say it, but you can get a better burger that's less greasy from Hardee's. Worse than that is the fact that their hot dogs are cooked in oil...it's the weirdest thing ever and something I've never seen. Unfortunately, that simply made the dog the greasiest I've ever had. Not a fan. Check out the pics I posted for their menu and prices. Note that they do not do free refills on fountain sodas despite what they're charging. Their system of ordering and filling each order is literally about as inefficient as you can possibly find, which did nothing but make each customer's wait that much longer. This place is likely an institutional treasure to locals but to city folks like us that are used to modern efficiency, it was like watching paint dry and getting teeth pulled. Uggh. Top it off with service staff that was glum and displaying the omnipresent "I hate my life" attitude, and my wife and I both said to one another right away, no way we'd go back. The locals probably don't want us stopping in anyway...damn city folk that we are. I'm wondering how in the world this place is still in business? As you'd expect, no free wifi here.

Ed's was BUSY! A line to be seated and an even longer line for takeout. I got a little two top next to the stools at the counter. It was fun hearing all the chatter coming from the hardworking folks in the kitchen. Service is attentive and to the point. I got a couple of hot dogs with chili, mustard, and slaw on them. They came out quickly and everything was piping hot. Standard chili and slaw and bun. Nothing amazing but nothing to find fault with either. I took my check to the window, paid, and was out in about 15 minutes. A nice little place to grab a bite in Whiteville.

I read the great reviews of this place online , so I had to come see for myself. It's a small brick building on the side of Andrew Jackson Hwy in Laurel Hill. Small parking lot with plenty of business. They have a small indoor dining area that is a bar top facing the windows. A couple of picnic tables outside , which is where I ate mine. I got the Double Cheeseburger with Crinkle Cut Fries and a can of Pepsi. The burger patties were nice and thick and juicy. Hot and fresh tasting with lettuce and tomato. If you want a Traditional North Carolina Slaw Burger they can do that too. The Crinkle Cut Fries were hot , fresh , and tasty. I prefer Crinkle Cut or Steak Cut Fries , so this was a plus. The employees were also nice. They have so much other food to choose from. Bbq Pork Sandwiches , Burgers , Hot Dogs , Sausage Dogs , Corn Dogs , Fried Bologna Sandwich , Pimento Cheese Sandwich , Chicken Wings , Hamburger Steak Plate , Chicken Salad , Chicken Sandwich , Fried Okra , Fries , Onion Rings , Baked Beans , Green Beans , Slaw , and Mashed Potatoes , and more.

I have some amazing benchmarks for what I consider an amazing dog/chili cheese dog. This one here just is not it. 1. Overpriced. Paid $20 for 2 chili cheese dogs, tots, and a fountain drink. 2. Once received, the 2 chili cheese dogs I expected to fill me up, looked very underwhelming. Basic grocery store bought buns - the extremely short ones you can find at cookouts. The chili- basic and grossly underserved. The cheddar cheese - again - basic store brought cheese, and sparsely spread. Asked for some chopped onions - sparsely spread. The tots - they were obviously frozen and oven baked. Not fried. If I'm wrong, then I'm mistaken. But I know what tots taste like from the oven vs deep fried. This is not a place for hot dog lovers.
