| - This is simply a great little diner - very good food at reasonable prices, and excellent, friendly service. It is not much to look at, inside or out, but don't be fooled - you came for the food anyway. There are Dale Earnhardt Sr pictures, posters, statues, and other memorabilia in display cases and on the walls, everywhere. Don't know if Dale ever ate here (know that he had a favorite diner across town), but I'd bet he'd like the food and the people.
We kept it simple - a Chopped BBQ Sandwich with slaw (not BBQ slaw), and a Chili Dog with mustard, chili, & onions. The Hot Dog was outstanding - a classic Southern style chili dog - nice meaty chili, decent wiener, fresh cut onions, soft bun - there aren't that many better than the dog here.
The Chopped sandwich was also very, very good - typical of the barbecue in the Lexington/Salisbury corridor, but with a touch more smokiness than you usually encountered outside the Lexington city limits. For my taste, this barbecue is superior to that offered at better known BBQ joints in the area, like Gary's, Porky's, and Troutman's. This is pig prepared with care and pride.
The service was excellent - friendly, and funny - like Flo and friends. We'll definitely be back.
