Restaurant 39

A mom & pop restaurant- a favorite in the community and passersby's as it's a stone throw by car from a major interstate- minutes away from shopping experiences - major trauma center- variety of plate specials- sandwiches- veggies like beets- greens- yummy- home style steak- chicken & dumplings- this place stays packed on a cold winters day with a lot of folks selecting hot soup & grilled cheese. It's a place old friends me

We were promptly seated in a booth. All the decor is country and family friendly. The food came out quickly and just as we ordered. A little gem in the rough. Yummy!

If there was an option for (-negative) stars - THIS PLACE DESERVES IT! Being owner of restaurants-I could NEVER serve my worse enemy what this place pushes out. You don't know what you are eating. Witnessed a lady picking a candy cane stick out of a customers food that another customer dropped in their plate as he was passing by!!! Pure DISSSSSSGISTINH! They still served the tray to the customer. My mouth dropped. They see. I was looking and tried to play it off. .Anyways, my hubby got the pork chop(totally dried out), turnips (from a #10 can-watery) , and sweet potato (ok, only because it was wrapped in aluminum foil - can't mess that up). I ordered veggie sides - meatless person - butter beans (from #10 can and obviously because they were water), cabbages (watered too). I couldn't eat anything after seeing them served customers their food after they put their bare hands in their food. People could get sick! There's no telling what was on that candy cane from a random customers jacket. Ewwwww! .I could r take it and all night I thought about it - I called the next day to talk to the owner and the lady on the phone identified herself as "the owners wife". I immediately recognized her voice from the night before. She was the one who picked out the candy cane from the customers plate!!!! I told her it was even more disturbing knowing she was the OWNER and thought it was ok to stick her hands in people food. She immediately got defensive and said - I don't know what you thought you seen, but the candy cane was in the waitress hand, not the customers food. I replied What!!!!! Are you kidding-you aren't going to try and manipulate this- FIRST, I can see very well, and second you are plane filthy!!! Just filthy. My thought is... why does a waitress have a candy cane in her hand? She didn't! It was from a customer passing by digging in his jacket and it fell out! I was looking RIGHT at the two of them - straight shot! .Their salt and pepper shakers had dried gunk all over them. They even had the audacity to have sanitizer on the table that looked like it went through a mud obstacle course! OMG! This place is grooooss! You can see where they wipe the "sticky" table. But never move or clean anything else on it. Salt/sugar was caked around the tray on the table. .I guess this place is still in business from the locals who have accepted the filth and is simply ok with eating there. I wouldn't eat here if it was my LAST meal ever! I'd rather fast! I have never seen someone PLAY in a customers food and STILL served it to them. How could you!!!!! Like WHY!!??? .Anyways.... If you like filth and don't care if you get sick or not. Go ahead. Eat at your own risk! Go to GEORGE'S. best, cute restaurant in that area, or drive out a little. THIS is not the place!

Run of the mill diner type place pretty much what you would expect from a small town America type of establishment. Friendly servers, down home feel and decent enough food, but nothing that really stood out. Pretty much the definition of what a 3-star place is.

I absolutely love this place! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I have been eating here going on 3 years. The restaurant uses fresh veggies ( their tomatoes are awesome) and everything is like you were eating at grandmas house! Right off I-85 ; look for the very tall Vance County Tourist sign) I cannot recommend this enough! The prices are extremely reasonable and you get a lot to eat! They have lunch specials everyday as well. A great spot to stop to or from Kerr Lake.

I'm giving this review because I have ordered from them now going on twice. Got an order of catfish with mash and string beans. The mash was old with hard lumps in it you could tell it's been sitting. The fish was under cooked that's DANGEROUS for seafood !! Strings beans just please nasty. Also got a order of fried chicken which was more burnt than chicken on the bone. MACARONI ANS CHEESE TASTE WAS ROTTEN COR MORE THAN ONE DAY . The owner claims it was new cheese being used which was a Lie ! It was just aweful Rotten mess don't go here the old white people will lie and say it's good and it's not !!!!! Btw I would give no stars if this was an option !!!!!!

Food was awesome! Sides could be a little better but omg their shrimp and crab boil!!! Yum! If you are ever in the area it is a definite must stop!

Excellent atmosphere. The server was very friendly it was a little slow but it was worth the wait. They got my eggs right they got everything done correctly. Not like other restaurants you asked for bacon they give you two slices of sad, nasty looking bacon nip not there it was good all the way around.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT eat here. They are pure "DISGUSTING". Sticking their hands in customers food because something accidently fell in it, instead of "REMAKING" their food. It's certainly not sanitary clean. GUNK on salt/pepper shakers even the sanitizer containers on the tables. Table clothes are STICKY, which means they haven't been sanitized or cleaned in SOME TIME. They of course needs to be trashed. The whole place needs to be gutted out and re-hauled. I was mortified when I seen one of the owners (female) sticking her hand in customers food and when I called to ask WHYYYYY, she attempted to twist it (as if one is incompetent), stating the candy was in the cashiers 'hand' and she took it from her. WHAT A LIE! I was looking directly at her! WOW. She then hung up the phone on me, I called her back and told her AGAIN how APPAULING the place is, especially finding out SHE was ONE OF THE OWNERS! I would NEVER!!! All I got was a salad and I couldn't finish eating it after seeing that and started really looking around the place!! WOW! NEVER again! EVER!! .So, if you want some type of germs or to risk getting sick - go ahead... Help yourself. The locals obviously love it, they knew most of the people who came in there. OMGoodness - I don't get it!

Great food and fabulous service. Love the kind of place that has lots of "regulars". Went for lunch one day and back the next for breakfast. Everything was cooked just like we asked. Off the beaten path but so worth it.
