I love the fast food here. Why go to a commercial place when you can get the food quick here and the prices are fair. I like to order their baskets. I switch it around One day I will have their tasty cheeseburger basket combo. Then another day chicken and on Friday's it's the fish sandwich since I'm Catholic. They give a generous helping of fries that are hearty, not thin, crinkle cut and not greasy and always hot! I swap out my fountain drink for one of their delicious, malted milkshakes. They will reduce the price of the malted to make up for the fountain drink. It is always busy. Be mindful that it closes at 2:30pm. The people behind the counter are always cheery and when you leave, you leave with a good feeling and feel satisfied. Forgot to take pictures!

Good hot dog and cheeseburger baskets. Nice to have the place back open in Kernersville

I'm a fan and glad to have this option. As I read the reviews, I feel like I need to comment on the one that mentioned the red dye hot dogs and nothing homemade. Just an fyi, you can order a beef hot dog, it's right there on the menu. It's even better topped off with their homemade, yes homemade chili and slaw. They also offer homemade pound cake, whole or by the slice. Keep up the good work, I'll be back.

You don't know what you have until it's gone! Thank you for coming back to our community! Same great service. Awesome staff. Good food and just a happy place to be. Best beef dog in the Ville!!! Ice cream is phenomenal. You want be disappointed with anything you eat here!

I was in the area working, and was headed to a chain restaurant for lunch when I saw this place. After looking at the menu on YELP to see what options where available, I went in and ordered a fish sandwich basket and added lettuce tomato mayo and cheese. The sandwich was nice and hot with just the right amount of mayo not to much. I didn't know it but the fries came with Lawrys and they didn't overdo it. Didn't have time for the ice cream which looked amazing but I didn't get one of the old school apple pies on the counter. Get there early bc breakfast ends at 11am and they close at 230. Also an FYI. If you are a hot dog lover theirs must be good because almost everyone else in front and behind me were ordering them.

Have always van liked this place. Best hotdogs you can get. Glad Bill bought the business back.

This burger joint has replaced mickeys . Prices were reasonable and you save by bringing cash. Our cheeesburger basket was 7.99 and included burger, fries and drink . You can add whatever toppings you like and fries were seasoned with Lawry's. They carry Pepsi products and had sweet/unsweetened tea. Burger could have been a little warmer, but the place has just opened back up and are probably are still figuring out best process
