Just get the Carls burger if your hungry. Fresh ground beef served with excellent fries. I hear breakfast is great to, but I've never had it.
Excellent food at a fair price. This is like grandmas cooking. The marks burger and the Mabel burger were excellent.
Stopped here on way to Smith Mtn Lake located right on highway. This is the locals breakfast and lunch place. They do have table service with small amount of tables. Nice staff greets you. Menu is your typical small Town diner food. Food was good at a reasonable price. Would stop again.
Excellent service! Delicious breakfast! The French toast is better than homemade. The sausage is just right. Everything we have tried is very good!
Mine and my kids favorite! Breakfast served all day is a plus. Hot plates.... everything is good.
