| - This place was featured a while back on Drive Ins, Diners and Dives on The Food Network - the show with Guy Fieri driving up to places in a convertible. It is a 50's throw back drive in with curb service in a somewhat scary part of town. You call in your order on this antiquated system - it is kind of cool, but hard to understand the person taking the order.
They serve all the usual drive in items with the addition of minced Pork Barbecue and some of the most unusual Barbecue Chicken you'll every try - it is fried first, and then dipped in a tangy barbecue sauce. This method is used by Keaton's in Cleveland, NC, Ted's Famous Chicken on S. Main in Winston Salem, and Bar-B-Q King's neighbor down Wilkerson Blvd.,Town & Country Drive In.
The Barbecued Chicken is good, the sauce tangy, but not especially hot. The pork barbecue is ok, but a little too finely chopped for my taste. The hot dogs, hamburgers, and onion rings are all really good. The service is generally fast. This place is worth a visit, and if you visit you gotta try the chicken.
