Recap for • The Milk Bar Restauran... by Tammy AI

My grandfather was Jimmy Vernon, owner of Vernons grill. The first photo of the lady behind the counter was my Great Grandmother Kathleen Brown Vernon. She and her husband Willis opened Vernon’s grill in 1944 and built this building in 1946. So many treasured family memories!
that's very interesting...
Are those the same Vernons from Vernon's Produce. I used to eat there and Hillbilly Hide-A-Way all the time. Then I'd go to Peter Rabbit's for a couple cold ones
I like these people. She is so humble and her husband is too.
Wish i could eat there. The world needs more this
Better enjoy these places while they're still around. Kudos to John for documenting them for all to enjoy for decades.
I grew up with the owners, Debbie and Jerry. Her’s was my second home matter of fact and I LOVED her mom’s cooking!! She learned from the BEST and she even baked my wedding cake. I KNOW the food is good!❤️🤗
Thanks for doing this, brother. I grew up in Walnut Cove and worked at Ingles grocery as a teenager. I love Cathy, of course and can't wait to visit my home again from the Air Force. You give me a taste of home and I appreciate you!
I was admiring how good the food looks & especially how clean the kitchen looks. That’s so important Alest to me. Thxs for sharing
It is very clean! I worked in a restaurant for 7 years so I know what to look for. I’ve never seen anything that would put me off
Thank you so much for keeping the prayer in your video. God bless y'all.
The Milk Bar Restaurant reminds me of how restaurants used to be
back in the 70's when I was a kid and there used to be a lot of them
in the part of Oklahoma where I live here but there are only a couple
of them still open and going today, I really enjoy older style restaurants
here in other areas of the country along with old general stores, theaters,
houses, buildings and other historic places from the past thank you John.
🇺🇲🤠🇺🇲
Always blessed by The Appalachian Channel content, thanks for your time my friends! Stay blessed on your journeys🙏
I've lived in North Carolina all my life and I've never had the chance to explore all of these wonderful places. I hope and pray that I do someday. Because I love these old restaurants and these old general stores. Our Country needs more of this. A big shout-out thank to everyone at the Milk Bar for everything you all do. And John thank you so very much for everything you do. Everyone's hard work and dedication is outstanding 💪 👍 May GOD bless you all and keep you all safe and healthy where ever you go 🎉❤😊
So much has already disappeared in Walnut Cove, Belews Creek, Stokesdale, Walkertown, etc... You'd better hurry up
I'm going to have to try this restaurant out soon. The owners and employess are genuine and that food looks delicious. Keep filming and showing these great businesses and people.
Hope you enjoy
The food looks so good I could hardly stand to watch! Im getting on the next bus to Walnut Cove, NC (from Cali)
You haven’t lived until you had their German Chocolate cake. Oh and the fried pickles! Everything I’ve had there is delicious
Thank God for the wonderful people we have in North Carolina. I am so proud to see this and plan to visit soon!
My sister lives In Walnut Cove and when I visit this is the place I eat at. The food is great, service is warm and friendly with great prices. If your near by stop in you will not regret it. Everything rocks but the catfish bits are out of the world.
Lovely people
5 star to MILK BAR RESTAURANT GREAT SMALL TOWN WALNUT COVE .N. C, FROM KANNAPOLIS ,N .C. MEGA GREAT VIDEO TO THE APPALACHIAN CHANNEL
I absolutely, positively LOVE LOVE LOVE The Milk Bar! Their specials are hearty and quite cost effective. Everything is good, here, but the catfish nuggets, the beef over rice, the homemade soup, the fried chicken livers, blackeyed peas and corn, cooked cabbage, fried okra, pintos, slaw, salmon patties, mashed potatoes, chicken pie and those fried cornbread cakes are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Try to hit them once a week - haven't been as often as I would like the past three years or so, but I am going to try to make up for that!!!
I LOVE the food and the staff at the Milk Bar !!!!
This restaurant is immaculate clean
MMM Chocolate Pie. 🙂 Sounds so good. Love this video, like always. Great local business with family atmosphere.
This is one of our favorite places to eat in the area. Everything we have tried has been delicious ❤
That is what I love about east Tennessee and western North Carolina. Plenty of mom &pop places to visit and eat. I love old diners . If I lived close to the milk bar they’d see me every week 😊
That is awesome!
As always another good video can you find some good places to eat
Now that some good eating? and very nice folks if I’m ever down that way I would stop in and definitely support those folks !! I love mom and pop restaurants
The waitress who took their orders is cute as a button! She should be a movie starr in Hollywood, what a cutie pie!
I know her and she is awesome! I go to The Milk Bar regularly and everyone is so nice. I’ve made some good friends at this place!
Jerry, you Dawg. You is famous!
Wow this food looks Top Tier Yes Indeed Well Done You Have To Luv The Mom And Pops Restaurants ❤
This lady seems like a hard worker,all the best in the future
Wow this place looks amazing … 🤩
I didn't call em about the chocolate pie, but I DID send them an email. Good luck!
Good folks make things happen and this Milk Bar is a wonderful place….
The Lord has blessed the Milk Bar ❤
They have outstanding food. I remember eating there as a small child when it was Vernon's Grill. They used to have a juke box on the left as you start into the back and my sister, Cousin Tommy and I used to play it. Recently, I heard Johnny Paycheck's song "Don't Take Her She's All I Got." I think I first heard it on the juke box at Vernon's years ago.
Nice video. Really miss NC. Loved it when I was stationed down there.
Jacksonville I assume
Watching from Eastern North Carolina. I agree these restaurants are rare. Wish I lived close to this one. John, thank you for posting this one, my mouth is watering.
WOW!! What a great place. Food looks scrumptious
The food looks fabulous, me and my family live about 2 hours away and will have to visit
I’m in uk, been to 🇺🇸 south many times the people are great and food is fantastic, I’m gonna pay a visit to North/South Carolina’s in the future.

I think that Americans are real foodies like me.:) This table is full of joy.:)

I went to junior high school in Walnut Cove and still blessed to live near it! Love that these places are still around and the egg on that burger is really good! Heck it all is 😂 Kathy the one praying owns a antique shop right up the street from them that is called "Just Plain Country Store" and she has a lot of great things in there and she is so sweet 😂 We all are just country and down to earth and the town of Walnut Cove is just a great place in general!
Good of you to visit the better side of the mountains. Go Heels.
What’s the BETTER side of the mountain? What is the other side you’re referring to?
He got me w the "hocake". OMG this place is a must do... That man can rock that grill... I'm retired from that vocation yrs ago ..
Oh this place looks outstanding!!!
Food looks amazing & the portions are huge!! Another place to add on my road trip planner, you’re gonna have us all over John 😛. Thanks for bringing us all these interesting places. Love your videos. Barb
Delicious food and very friendly staff and service!
The best!
That restaurant looks awesome ! I’d be there several times a week if I lived in that town. Thanks for the review !
yup looks yummy
Awesome Restaurant 😊😊😊
Another goody. I’m starving!!
I’ve called the cornbread that’s made that way “fried fritters”. But the ones I received were a little bit thicker like a small fluffy pancake. Yummy
Omg I love Miss Kathy's store. I follow her online. One day im gonna get up there to shop. I'm from a little town called Birchwood Tn and now reside in Chattanooga Tn. So good to see more or your little town.
Its a nice little community.
Great video! I actually called and spoke to Mr. Jerry, told him to bring back that good chocolate pie!
Your food looks delecious❤keep your good work goingihg
I live in Kimbell, Tn.
Home sweet home!!! I grew up on Baux Mountain Road! We're losing our culture out here
L❤ve it! From Texas
We want Chocolate Pie! We want Chocolate Pie! We want Chocolate Pie! Btw … Weight Watchers meeting has been canceled until September 2031. We will resume then from 7-8:30 pm.
😂😂😂
nice ty
From Pa I like the Carolina accent's. Nice people.
Oh great, now I'm hungry and it's a long drive from Michigan to the Milk Bar.
I know it’s way east for you but you should come visit the Beefmaster in Wilson NC….small place only serving cut to weight ribeye, backed potatoes, Texas toast and a salad bar… super simple but fantastic
My little town of Aviston Illinois had a cafe like this. Mainly breakfast and lunch. Angel Haven cafe then a couple more names after sold. If you couldnt find a seat you sit at a random table with others and youre bound to share who your relatives are and most likely your mama and papa knows their mama and papa.
Good cooking
Just a few miles from us!
My MIL serves cole slaw with spaghetti. It goes great together. Kind of like pizza and corn from school.
Red hot dogs are the best. My favorite is Brightleaf brand from Smithfield Packers in Smithfield NC.
Everything looks so dishlious
Awesome video. I want a ribeye steak! Yummy! 😂😂 So much fun watching from my home in Ohio. ❤❤
I like to put chopped onion in my cornmeal mix to fry. Make a big ole hush puppy...............lol
I can't imagine a hush puppy without onion's
Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri
I eat there every time I’m in the area to play golf … there are a couple old restaurants like this in walnut cove… former Vernon’s grill..
❤
I love apple sauce and spaghetti 😋
Sounds like it would be worth a trip from Eastern North Carolina (Havelock) to come and eat there!
My grand father was from that area ,,,I have only passed through there ,,his name was miles sprinkle
Was just there last weekend. New brewery across the street called 1889
In North Alabama we call the fried cornbread a "fritter".
Super💯videeo
I eat there every time I’m in the area to play golf … there are a couple old restaurants like this in walnut cove
I’m in Georgia and we always called that lace cornbread or lacy cornbread due to it looking like lace on the outside edges
Mouth watering video for a fat boy for sure!!! Looks great! If I'm ever out that way, I will definitely stop in The Milk Bar.
❤️👍
God i thank you
10:25 😍😍😍😍
i need to work there to reconnect with good people.
Oh, and I saw the sign that says "Yum" on the wall. Did you know that yum spelled backwards is Muy (very)?
We need chocolate pie.
