| - I moved to Charlotte several years ago, and had wanted to eat there for ages. After seeing it on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives", I *finally* made the extra effort to make it out there (they're closed on Sundays and Mondays).
I got the BBQ chicken, which was advertised on DD&D as "fried chicken coated in East Carolina-style BBQ sauce". Well, the sauce is far too thick and sweet to be traditional East Carolina-style sauce (which is sort of like Tabasco sauce). Although a disappointment, the fried chicken itself was well done, perfectly cooked and juicy.
The fries are nothing to write home about, probably frozen commercial. But they were cooked well and nicely salted. The onion rings were far better, especially if you're a fan of the cornmeal variety. I'm not a fan of cole slaw, but the slaw seemed fresh and was pretty tasty.
One knock - my friend ordered a Sun Drop, and received a Coke, even though the order ticket was clearly marked as Sun Drop. Yeah, we coulda used the speaker to call someone to fix it (and for $17.85 for a drive-in lunch, we should have).
