The first part of the video when you introduced Paul, I thought, " that guy looks, talks and acts like Howard Sprague " and then you mentioned it to him at the end. Another great video John, thanks for your work!
Bingo!
I couldn’t put my finger on it but your right. I wish he did his laugh.
God bless you country folks salt of the earth ❤ America 🇺🇸

Home sweet home Mount Airy, this Video was so good I wish it was three hours longer.haha Keep these Mayberry Videos coming. Wonderful People and even better Food.

The more I watch your videos it makes me miss living in that area. I was in Nickelsville but not far from Appalachia Va.
that restaurant is a little slice of heaven on earth... ..i smile all thru the video... god bless you all
I just subscribed, John. Another great video, too! Hello to John and the good folks in Mt. Airy, NC. I could smell those burgers cooking. The Wendy's burger I was eating was pretty good, but not nearly as tasty as a Leon's burger!!
It’s like a southern Twin Peaks 🤗
thank you John for the video have a good day
Thank you too
13:43 are you kidding me with those burgers, im hungry now!
Outstanding! What a cool little place. If I lived there, I'd be a regular real quick.
Sooo excited for this!!! ❤ They have the best food!!
Leon's is a Mayberry Icon..
@@theappalachianchannel It absolutely is! I think most of the restaurants there are!
Seem like great people. Sure the food is great too, step back in time. I love it❤❤❤
Paul and the staff seem to be such delightful folks. Will have to travel over the mountain to visit these nice people and check out the good looking food. Thank you John for another great video!
It does my heart good to see places like this still around. The food looks good and the service is friendly. Great job!
My kind of place.
How Sprague was the county clerk his gf was Millie from the diner I'm a huge Andy Griffith fan Floyd was the barber
Oh my goodness. This was absolutely awesome 💯😎. Thank you so very much to everyone on this video. A job well done ✅. May you all have a wonderful blessed day 🌹🌺❣️
I love your Videos 😻 I'm a Florida girl from a small town most of my kin were/are farmers or cattle ranchers 😊
Our Local restaurants serve Southern food like Granny was cooking.👵🏼
Love the old downtown restaurants. Hidden gems, for sure. The old neon Leon's sign is so cool. The burgers and your plated meals looked fantastic. My eyes lit up when I saw those red ripe tomato slices. Nice video, thanks for sharing
Another great video!!! Thank you for such a wonderful channel!!
Another great video John the food looks great very nice folks I can’t tell the customers love it my kinda place
Yes they do
Love this old-fashioned diner slice-of-life. I have often dreamed of running a diner though now I am likely too old. This gives me a taste of the diner world without the hard work and burns! ;)
My favorite Restaurant video
Good one John! The food looked so yummy.

Howard was the County Clerk.
👍🏼 Great video. The workers deserve bigger tips

You should do an exposé on the Burger Basket in Andrews, NC.
That guy looked and sounded like one of the guys from the show
He reminded me so much of Howard Sprague

WHAT A GOLD MINE,CASH COW
Howard was the county clerk I'm sure he worked in the courthouse
Awesome video man, my goal is to meet you my family and I are moving right down the road from Ralph's house in Speedwell Tennessee
That is awesome! Let me know when you get moved. where are you moving from and how did you end up in Greasy hollow?
@@theappalachianchannel Fort Knox KY area...my dad went to Ralph's store all the time when he was a kid... Magdalenes store
Howard was the county clerk.
The owner/cook is a dead match for the character Howard Sprague, from Mayberry. LOL!
Any southern people there?
Do you have a new camera helper?
.
Looks like he needs to expand
some times runn into the sherriff county jail video
Ohio!!!
I’ll fax in what the US Supreme Court signed for themselves! Pod Dolly
Comment
I wonder if the people liked being filmed while eating I don't think I would want someone filming me while I worked or ate
Well I don't just walk into a restaurant or business and start filming with out he owner knowing that I'm coming to film. I call the business's and ask if they would like to be featured on The Appalachian Channel then set a date to come film on. The business gets free advertising from the video that brings new customers from around the country. So yeah I'm thinking they love seeing a increase in sale from the video. I always ask customers that are eating if they would like to be on TH-cam talking about the restaurant and most are very happy to talk.
He almost always asks people if they wanna be filmed before he does.
@@mrs.frankenstein4607 Yes, its a must!😀
Thank you John. Another place to visit.
Why are you taping these videos nobody cares for these places nobody will ever visit them either!
Well I have over 20 million views on my videos of place like this so guess 20 million people do like watching.
This means we won’t be seeing your sad sack there, troll, lol!
So why are you watching? Just to post a crappy comment?
Also there are so many of us that can’t travel anymore so watching these are such a blessing to a lot of folks, I just love these videos💖thank you John from the bottom of my heart
