    It's not a sloppy joe and it's not a burger. I thought I had seen pretty much all the sandwiches out there but...by golly...you proved me wrong. A ground beef sandwich made the Mayberry way is a new one on me. Thank you for that.

    My family settled in Surry County back in the 1700’s. Before he passed, my grandfather (moved to Chesterfield County, Virginia after he returned from WW2) took me to visit the old homestead still owned by my Great Uncle Virgil. Seeing the Hodges family burial plot that went back to those times was pretty deep for me. They saw a great deal of trials and tribulations over the course of time. I’m going to make a point of going back soon and I’ll definitely visit this establishment.

      I went today and loved it. I’ve passed this place my whole life and never stopped. I got the ground steak and onion rings and of course ice cream. I spilled my drink but the waitress had it cleaned up so fast. She told me it happens a lot don’t worry about. This will be a favorite of mine from now on.Thank you for sharing John.

    I asked no less than 5 people where the nearest ABC, AKA liquor store was and not one had a clue.

    So let ^it be done.
    So let ^it be covered by...
