Today I got a single burger with tomato and pickle and a side of fries and drink. $11 which I think is great for fresh cooked food. I mean the fast food place is going to be more than that price. Sometimes there is a little wait time because they are cooking your food, have some patience and wait for the goodness. Come for the picnic tables and paper towels on the tables. Hometown workers always know the best eats.

But, beyond the expected hamburgers and a great selection of shakes, they have chicken 'n' waffles, fried shrimp, and other dishes.

My shrimp were good though a bit too salty for my liking, the waffle fries fine, the bread roll (really? not hushpuppies?) ok if weird to me to include in a seafood basket. Their house MotLee's Sauce is certainly the sauce to ask for, by the way. All in all, a good, economical choice for fast food plus to support something local and unique.

This was my first time getting this burger and I loved every last CRUMB of this burger. I tend to switch it up every time I come because of much I enjoy the burgers (and the chicken sandwich), but this just may be my go-to going forward because man, was this crazy good. Hubby got his usual which is the OBX. That comes with poblano mayo, cajun ranch, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and keylime guacamole. He literally gets this every single time and never deviates. We usually split a tray of the bacon ranch fries but we decided to switch it up a little and get the nachos fries. While the nachos fries were great, we both agreed that we like the bacon ranch ones much more. We also agreed that next time, we're going to get the Jax Style fries and compare those as well. We got here around 8pm and as per usual the line was out the door and stayed that way through the duration of our meal. It's not difficult to see why their voted Number 1 in Jax.

He asked me why I am leaving and he told me "I'm the owner, it's my job to take care of everyone"... No sir, it's your waitresses job to take care of everyone- you make this a very unpleasant environment. Sit down, trust your employees, go in the kitchen or something sir. That was ridiculous.

Orders were being prepared 1 table at a time. 45 minutes later we got a pancake served with cold butter. The pancake was just kind of yellow, not brown at all. It had a terrible taste. I cannot even describe it. And the cold butter would not melt because they weren't hot. Our eggs were ordered over medium. They were over easy and without toast the yolks could not be eaten( because the pancake was so bad). The bacon was limp and not crisp at all. The hash browns and sausage patties were fine.

The burger was flavorful, and the Carolina BBQ paired well with the bacon without being overpowering. My only complaint is that the bun got soggy pretty quickly, so it started falling apart before I finished it. The sweet potato fries were the standout. Ordering the caramel cinnamon sauce on the side was definitely the right call--it kept the fries crispy and let me add just the amount of sweetness I wanted. I also dipped a few fries in the tangy BBQ sauce, and surprisingly, that combination worked really well. I'd absolutely order this again. Next time, I'd just hope for a sturdier bun because the flavors were there from the first bite to the last.

We spent around $100 for our family of 8 and were missing a $3 side.

What was upsetting was the attitude we received when we politely asked about it. The manager came out and was extremely combative and rude over a $3 side. It wasn't about the money at all it was about how we were treated as customers. We left feeling very disappointed, especially after spending $100 with our family. Mistakes happen, but kindness and professionalism should always come first.
