    John Deere Green tables, and a matching mug!
    Sarah S.

    The Open Kettle is a cute place. I went for breakfast while I was waiting for a part to arrive at the auto shop down the street; it was recommended to me by a really sweet lady who was also waiting for her car to be serviced. I had a bacon and egg sandwich with coffee. I didn't want mayo on the sandwich, so it was rather dry! This is one instance where a little bit more butter would have done a world of good.. Or a slice of provolone. (Maybe cheese is an option I just didn't notice on the menu?) However, it was still tasty. I know the other review here said the coffee wasn't good, but the coffee I had was delicious! I wanted the whole pot! The John Deere decor is pretty adorable, can't lie. I was charmed. I think this is the kind of place I could see myself returning to just to check out what else they have.

    See all

    Concord Grill - 1/2 of the double cheeseburger

    Concord Grill

    (26 reviews)

    I heard about the burgers for a couple years and we went today to see if they were that good. They…read moredid not disappoint. My wife and I each got a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and mayo. She also got onion on hers. The paper bag holding 2 burgers was close to 3#! When I opened mine I was amazed. It was in like a LARGE Kaiser bun and the meat stuck outside the bun all the way around. The meat itself was at least 2" thick. So quantity passed the test. Besides being hard to eat as it was so thick, this was the best burger I have had in my 73 years on this earth. We can't wait to go back and order the BLT's as we have heard they are amazing also. This area has some "good" burgers for $12.00- $14.00 that are no where near as good and 1/2 as large. Our new favorite burger place near Roxboro NC. DId I mention the bill for these 2 monster burgers tax included was $14.00 total.

    I saw a write-up on this place in Our State magazine and everything about it was screaming my name…read moreso I took a bit of a detour on my way to Virginia for Thanksgiving and stopped at Concord Grill for lunch. I'm glad I was on the early side because a sign on the window said the grill was closing at 1:00 that day. I made it just in time. I ordered a hot dog with chili, mustard, and slaw and a cheeseburger. I had hear all the raving about the burgers. I had to try one. For drinks, you go next door to the sundry part of the gas station. My order was ready quicky and when I went to pick up my bag I assumed I had someone else's order. Mine food couldn't weigh this much. Ha. It sure did! The dog was great. One of those really good flavor blends between the chili, mustard, and creamy slaw. The burger was outstanding. HUGE! Juicy! Delicious. All the toppings on it were just as I asked for. The cheese was melted and gooey. Darn near close to perfection. I can not even imagine getting a double except that it just means twice the delicious pleasure! I'd be wiling to suffer. :)

    Family Diner - Take out catfish plate( available on Fridays)

    The kid was home from college, and after we hit the local thrift, we were looking around for some…read moreOxford grinds. The street situation precluded a few spots downtown, and since we weren't in the mood for our go-to taco place, we decided to head out to the Family Diner. The walk-in was awkward on our part- cash register or hot bar line first? A sweet call from the kitchen of "Y'all's first time?" got us headed in the right direction. Full disclaimer: I've been nostalgic for the southern cafeteria lately. While talking to some food industry friends last week, we realized there is something powerful about the food we all remember from K and W. And while Family Diner doesn't have a giant dining room or a 5-snake velvet rope line to get to the counter, it does take me back. Here's how we made our choices: the hot bar was a choice of three types of chicken- the baked and fried were tempting until the gentleman serving us says: "We can fry you fish to order. Flounder, trout, and catfish." The chicken got skipped for a plate of flounder (plentiful plate, btw), and a side of the Mac and cheese and cooked cabbage. The kid sampled the catfish plate, same sides. Sweet tea. And yes ma'am, I'd like the cornbread. Done. We sat down at a table in the main, cozy dining room. The first thing that I noticed: this place is clean- tidy, even. There was a super polite young man moving around and busing tables, tidying up unassumingly and doing it in a way that is lacking in some finer dining places I've been in recently. The food came out, piping hot. I used one of the malt vinegar packets to douse my flounder (a cafeteria habit) and dug in. The first bite was light and flaky, cooked perfectly. Nothing greasy-tasting, at all, just clean. The sides were great- nothing over seasoned, and like cooking at home, there was room for you to season things to your taste. Well played, Family Diner. The owner (I think? She was the one who guided us down the right path when we walked in) came out to make sure that we were happy, and yes ma'am, it's great, and holy cow, you just dropped this cornbread into the skillet and fried it? Yes, we will be back. It's unassuming, and it's just what the doctor ordered. It's a cafeteria, but it's clean and polite and makes you feel good that you ate there. It's soul food, but not just from an ethnic standpoint- it makes me happy and full and feel welcome and I'll be back.

    Very congenial staff and excellent home-cooked meals! The fried chicken was mist and delicious…read more We'll be back!
