Located in Mount Airy, the Snappy Lunch is a local landmark diner that has been serving up delicious breakfast plates, handmade biscuits, and famous pork chop sandwiches for nearly 100 years. This cozy and old-fashioned diner was even mentioned by name on The Andy Griffith Show. With its no-nonsense setting and comfortable seating, it's a must-visit spot for anyone who loves good food. The restaurant is known for its charming ambiance adorned with photos of Andy Griffith.
If you want to go back in time to when people were friendly and the food was homemade and delicious then go to snappy lunch. My server was the sweetest thing ever and kept calling me love and sweetie. I had the bacon and eggs with a biscuit. The food was delicious and the biscuit was ginormous. They gave me real butter and jelly instead of the prepackaged stuff. This is a great little experience and a good place to eat.

This place is truly unique as is Mt Airy. What a gem this little Mayberry city is, right out of the Andy Griffith show. The food was unique as well. You have to have the breaded porkchop sandwich all the way !!!! It's very good and very filling. The ladies behind the counter are wonderful but because this place is pretty busy you don't get to talk to them much. Mt Airy is a must do as well as Snappys. Breakfast is served until 10:30 and then it switches to lunch until 1:45.

A true historical restaurant in Mt Airy NC. (Aka Mayberry) The famous pork chop sandwich is delicious. All the servers are extremely friendly and polite! Great place to enjoy some awesome food and relax and take a trip back in time. Oh ya, the prices are like going back in time too!
Kevin K — Google review
Unpopular opiniom: the pork chop sandwich isn't great. It's large! And the prices are great! But, (I got mine "all the way") it's pretty flavorless. Doesn't come with a plate, the cutlery is plastic (I didn't ask for it, only saw they had it, along w the condiments that could've made my sandwich better, on my way out the door). Service wasn't terrible, server checked on us for refills & the manager swung by too. But no uniforms or name tags. I'd give it less stars but we stopped for the nostalgia, and it delivered on that. And again, the prices can't be beat. If you're there for 'Mayberry', its worth the stop. Otherwise, I'd suggest skipping it for a tastier lunch, with more options, on a plate, some where in Mt. Airy.

Excellent pork sandwich! Cheap prices! Great location! We'll worth stopping into. Can be a wait to get inside during lunch time. We waited 10 minutes so not too bad around 1 Pm on a Tues.

Elizabeth D — Google review
I had the pork sandwich and my other 2 lunch mates had the fried bologna sandwich. The pork sandwich was mediocre. The piece of pork was huge so you didn’t walk away hungry. I guess since they are known for their pork sandwich I expected it to be delicious. The chili tasted like it came from a can. The others said the fried bologna sandwich was good. Service was quick. There was a line to get in but it moved quickly.

Barney's Cafe is a casual eatery located on Main Street, offering a rotating menu of classic American fare and delectable cakes in an unassuming, traditional setting. The cafe is a must-visit for fans of The Andy Griffith Show, as it is adorned with show memorabilia and photographs. Diners can even sit in the booth reserved for Barney Fife himself. Despite its nostalgic ambiance, the food at Barney's Cafe is both delicious and comforting.
I would say overall I would give this place 5 🌟. Had breakfast and lunch there. Breakfast was really good, only thing is apples didn't have a lot of flavor but everything else was excellent. Service during breakfast was a bare minimum. Waitress only served us, never ask if needed anything else or even a drink refill- spent all her time talking to a local guy. Now... lunch was exceptional! Got meatloaf and mashed potatoes and deviled eggs with roll. Husband got a hamburger and fries. Meatloaf was delicious! Mashed potatoes and deviled eggs homemade also and were delicious as well. My husband enjoyed the hamburger also. The waitress was 100% on point and so deserved her kudos- that she was so attentive and very friendly and made sure we didn't need anything Fabulous waitress!! I would go there again but if got the same morning waitress I believe I would just have to ask for someone that was going to give service to others not just one guy. O- and they have a map on the wall where you can pun it from where you are visiting from, I thought was pretty cool.

Nice little cafe to eat at for nostalgia purposes. We stopped in for dessert. They make/bake their own desserts. I had coconut pie, and my husband had caramel cake. Both tasted very good. Service was great and prices reasonable. Be aware that seating is tight if you use a wheelchair.

We were having a Mayberry Day with family visiting from out of town. We had just gotten into town and took a walk down Main Street. We decided to stop in Barneys Cafe for a bite to eat. We were able to sit right away and the server quickly greeted us. My sister got the daily special, the Hamburger Steak with no gravy. My wife also got a daily special, Chicken Pot Pie with a side salad and an additional side of Beets. The Beets wee delicious. Chicken pot pie was average as was my sisters. I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, it was not bad, my niece and nephew both got Bacon Cheeseburgers. It was a nice experience.

First time to "Mayberry" and we couldn't have picked a better place for lunch. You can really feel the small town vibes. Fast service and friendly people. The food was simple but fantastic. The chocolate pie is delicious and all the desserts are homemade. It was difficult to choose! My kids loved the fresh lemonade. Thank you for making our day trip memorable!

My wife and I headed over to Mt Airy for the 'Mayberry' experience. The town didn't disappoint but this cafe did. Visually, there's alot of Barney Fife memorabilia and Mayberry items. Nice pictures and a reasonably interesting theme going on. Food wise, I should have gotten breakfast. Don't bother with the french fries..grease logs. The hamburger was warm and tasty but those fries really blew it. One hit wonder, for certain.

Leon's Burger Express is a popular spot known for its delicious breakfast and lunch options. The California Burger, featuring lettuce, mayo, grilled onions, and tomato, is a standout item on the menu. The friendly staff creates a warm atmosphere for diners. While there may be a short wait for a table during peak times, the flavorful food and reasonable prices make it worth it. Keep in mind that this cash-only establishment has an ATM available on-site.
We sat at the bar and got California Burgers. We split onion rings. Burgers were awesome. Try friendly service. A must if you are visiting Mt Airy. Remember to bring cash.

Old school diner feel. Stopped in late on a Saturday morning with the internet of trying one of their burgers, but since they serve breakfast 'all day', I tried a biscuit and gravy with a side of sausage. The gravy was definitely stick to the ribs thick - I may not eat anything til tomorrow.

Stopped by for brunch. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. I ordered the double California burger with a runny fried egg and a hot dog with chili, mustard, and onion. The burger was perfectly cooked. Perfect amount of grease and the burger itself was amazing. The hot dog was great as well, the chili was good, the bun tasted grilled a little, but overall I'd order it again.

The service was good. The pancakes and eggs Benedict were outstanding. The home fries were not good—bland and somehow both mushy and not completely cooked at the same time. I would absolutely go back but might make different food choices.

We often visit Mt Airy, but not had a chance to try Rusty Rooster Southern Breakfast yet. We really didn't know what we were missing! We arrived for our breakfast late, luckily they serve breakfast all day. We started with ordering French vanilla cold brews, served in Mason jars with handles and topped with whipped cream. They were so good. We told our server Savannah how much we enjoyed them, she explained that she has been told she makes them really well before. We definitely agree. He choose to pair fresh squeezed orange juice with his bacon, egg, and cheese on toast with home fries on side. I ordered the breakfast burrito, also with home fries on the side. Both meals were fantastic! I wish I had added an order of pico de gallo to dip my burrito in, but didn't even think about it until I was almost done. We are already looking forward to our next visit and planning what to try next.

Really good food with really slow, inattentive service. Slow day with only a few tables occupied, so sat quickly...then waited over 10 minutes for a waiter to greet my party. We were gathering our things to walk out when someone stopped by. The food portions were HUGE and everything tasted good! But we were only checked on once, and no drink refill offers. Again, the food was decently good! The service just lacked all around.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at The Derby Restaurant in Mount Airy, NC! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor was cozy and charming — the kind of place where you immediately feel at home. The food was outstanding! Every dish we ordered was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. You can really tell when a restaurant takes pride in what they serve, and The Derby certainly does. Our server was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. They made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed or overlooked. It’s rare to find such thoughtful service, and it really made our visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're a local or just passing through Mount Airy, I highly recommend stopping by The Derby Restaurant. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere — what more could you ask for?

Very tasty southern lunch cooking. The fried squash was breaded just enough, collard greens had a good flavor, green beans tasty without too much grease, and country style steak tender. The only so so was the potato salad. It wasn't bad but could use a bit more flavor. The waitress was top notch!

We stopped in around 1:30. The restaurant was not crowded. The cheese bites were good. The tenders were not juicy, kind of tough. The hash brown casserole was cold and dry. The apples were also cold, but the taste was good. The only items besides the cheese bites that came out hot were the fried chicken and the dumplins. It wasn't my best meal here.

We stopped here, extremely hungry, headed home from our beach trip. We thought it would be perfect since it wasn’t busy at all. When we were seated, we ordered our drinks and asked for biscuits as an appetizer. While waiting, the servers were yelling at each other in the middle of the restaurant. We were all given our drinks except my husband’s water shortly after. When we ordered our food, my husband asked for a salad with his food, our waitress asked him if he wanted it ahead of the entrées, he told her “yes”. A little later, she brought all of our entrees out along with his salad, but hurried to sit everything down to go answer a phone call on her phone. They forgot my husband’s loaded baked potato, all of the silverware, napkins, the strawberries and syrup for my daughter’s pancakes, the ketchup on my other daughter’s mini cheeseburgers and again, my husband’s water. We had to ask her for everything that was forgotten at least three different times, and she acted like we were crazy every single time. My daughter’s grilled cheese wasn’t even barely toasted it was like the bread was straight out of the bread bag. My husband’s steak was supposed to be medium rare, I will add the picture so that you can see why he didn’t even bother to eat it. When she finally brought out my husband’s loaded baked potato, she said, “it’s supposed to have sour cream on it, do you want some?” He said, “yes”, he then had to ask her twice for it. Also, I think they need to ask how the service and food was instead of asking the temperature of the food. Overall a complete waste of time and money seeing as how the food was not even edible and the waitress was disappointing. I would like to add the lady that checked us out at the front desk was so sweet & my girls loved her!

This was my first time ever eating at a Cracker Barrel. Everything was OK, almost nothing was great. The biscuits and gravy were lukewarm; almost everything seemed pre-made. The bacon was lukewarm. The saving grace was the blueberry pancakes, which were genuinely excellent. I would return for the pancakes only!

I’m honestly not sure why there are so many negative reviews on Yelp—every time I come to Mount Airy, Cracker Barrel is a go-to stop for my family and me, and it has never disappointed. We’ve been coming here for several years in a row, and the consistency in both the food and service has been great. We stopped in for lunch today as a group of 7, and everything was spot on. Our server, Taylor B., was absolutely excellent—attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly without missing a beat. I ordered the meatloaf with fried apples and mashed potatoes, and it was fantastic. The meatloaf was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the apples were warm and sweet, and the mashed potatoes were classic comfort food. If you’re in Mount Airy and looking for a solid, satisfying meal with great service, don’t let the low ratings scare you off. Cracker Barrel continues to deliver every time for us!
Chad C — Google review
We think the serviced wasn't the best because of the kitchen. Not sure if they were short on help. Ordered a appetizer and it took over 20 minutes to get and it was barely warm. I Ordered chicken tenders and then was told yall was out of tenders so I ordered the homestyle chicken and it was extremely small compared to what I've always gotten over the years. Ordered cornbread muffins along with our biscuits but had to ask for them again when the biscuits were brought out, also had to ask for my gravy again. The chicken and dumplings could have used more broth on them also! The pintos was barely warm. We've definitely had better food and service at this location before!

Service has been unfortunate. I would love to rate the food but I'm still waiting on it to get here. Sat for 20 minutes before any wait staff even spoke to us then another 10 minutes before we got a waitress and an hour and 15 minutes after that we are still waiting on our food. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. The waitress who did come finally to take our order was pleasant enough. Thankfully this is not one of those horrid new cracker barrels with the white walls and no atmosphere.

We went to the Cracker Barrel in Mount Airy, North Carolina. It was a Monday so it wasn’t too busy. Our server was great. I’m sorry I don’t remember her name. She said that she had worked there and left and came back because she did not have a gold star on her apron. She could not have been any kinder the woman who seated us when we arrived was very nice as well. We did have a gift card and the cashier was able to handle it without any problem. We always enjoy ourselves when we come to a Cracker Barrel.

Golden Corral Buffet & Grill is a family-friendly eatery that offers an extensive selection of American cuisine for an all-you-can-eat experience. They also have salad and dessert bars available. The wait staff provided excellent service during the visit, although some dishes were questionable while most were outstanding. The meat man, however, lacked hospitality which could be attributed to the nature of the service industry.
This place is awesome!! This was my first time. My boyfriend and I are visiting from Canada and this was such an amazing experience. Thank you to our waitress, ( I'm sorry I didn't catch your name) I would definitely reccommend coming here. Food was amazing!!

Took mini vacation with my Mom & 4 grandkids. We stopped here to eat before heading home. Overall we had a great experience, food was good & fresh. Good selection for the grandkids to choose from. Our service was a little slow but I’m pretty sure our waitress was fairly new so was no biggie, patience goes a long way.

Great buffet price point for breakfast, lunch and dinner, simply can't be beat. Why would one go elsewhere for breakfast? Get a full omelette here for less than $13 and get all the sides you want! Bacon, ham, etc. Don't even have to pay $3 for a cup of coffee, as a drink is included.

Food was fine. I've had better and I've had worse at Golden Corral. But the air conditioning is broke and was the last time we were there over a month ago. Both times the outside temp was 95 degeees. Don't know how they get away with that with the workers. I had to peel myself from my chair after 30/45 minutes.

I recently visited Golden Corral with my family, and I have to say — we were genuinely impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the host and quickly seated. The atmosphere was casual, welcoming, and family-friendly, exactly what you’d hope for in a buffet-style restaurant

First and foremost we have been loyal customers to Golden Corral Mt Airy for many years. Over the last 6 months the buffet has continuously declined. Our last 4 trips there May 2025 the food on the buffet was cold, left over items from the day before on the lunch buffet are not heated properly, chicken is hard as a rock and lukewarm at best, burned meat loaf, left over burgers that with cold center. Fruits on salad bar were mushy and not fresh. We finally had enough and asked for the manager, before I finished talking to the manager a lady walked up and voiced the same concerns and complaints. We heard multiple customers complaining. We will not return until this issue is fixed!! Our server was absolutely wonderful and apologized multiple times, it’s not her fault the restaurant is failing now. Also noticed they currently have 90 health score that’s the bottom of the A rating. It should be lower with old cold food!! Someone will get sick!

We went at 3pm. No crowd. Lots of selections. The dessert area could have used some organization. Everything else looked great. Waitress was wonderful

Chick-fil-A is a popular fast-food chain known for its delicious chicken sandwiches, nuggets, salads, and sides. Customers often praise the friendly and helpful staff who create a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is described as clean and well-managed, with employees who go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. While some have experienced minor hiccups like missing salad toppings or running out of certain menu items, overall, Chick-fil-A is consistently recommended for its tasty food and excellent service.
We were stopping through on a road trip home from family vacation. Chad noticed my family having a picnic outside on the lawn. Not only was the food wonderful, but his gesture made our week! He brought my 1 and 3 year olds out toys and stickers which allowed us to smoothly travel the rest of the way home! Thanks for the tasty meal, and your thoughtfulness!

I really love this Chick-fil-A and rarely have any complaints. The service is always great, and everything is usually fresh and consistent. That said, it’s pretty disappointing during tomato season to get all green/yellow tomatoes. Every tomato on our salads today looked under-ripe and unappetizing. It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference in the quality of the meal. Just wanted to bring it to your attention!

This has become the worst Chick-fil-A that I go to. There were probably 12 cars ahead of me in the breakfast line and I waited a little over 30 minutes for my order. A line well into the road formed as I waited as well. Once I got to the window I had to pull ahead and continue to wait for a small breakfast order. I was given a choice of desert card as a apology for my wait which was several months expired. And my past visits have also had terrible wait times no matter what time of day usually paired with food that is somehow barely warm. Any other Chick-fil-A I go to in Winston or wherever I get my order quickly and it's fresh. My recent visit included a half filled order of cold hash browns and a chicken nugget sized piece of meat for my biscuit. I love having a Chick-fil-A locally but after today I've given up for this location.

You should probably pick your more out going non introvert employee to handle the pickup orders. Someone that isn't scared to call out names to hand out food. He was litterly letting 4-6 orders pile up on the counter. There was a line at the pickup when I walked in so I just assumed they were behind. After waiting there for awhile I walked around to the front of your counter where he was standing. I got his attention and my food. I only stop a Chic filet when traveling for the sole reason of it being ready when I arrive.

This is the best Chick-fil-A I have ever been to! The building exterior is clean and inviting, the interior is spotless. The flowers on each table were beautiful and alive. The service was above and beyond and the food was some of the best Chick-fil-A food we have had. Absolutely outstanding! We will be adding this as a regular stop when in the area!

They're prices are a little high for what you get and I don't need C/F telling me how many condiments I can get. If I'm paying for it I'll eat it the way I want. Not the only mediocre chicken fast food place around.

If you're on the lookout for a delightful breakfast experience, Biscuitville is a must-visit! This charming diner specializes in mouthwatering biscuit sandwiches and hearty breakfast platters that are sure to satisfy your morning cravings. Located primarily in North Carolina, with a few spots elsewhere, this family-friendly eatery boasts friendly staff who create an inviting atmosphere.
I would go here every single day of my life if I could. Texas needs Biscuitville. Biscuitville is love. Update: Back in NC, and Biscuitville is still amazing. Try the hash brown casserole and the fries. Live your best life.

A fine fast food breakfast place. The best sausage gravy I've had at a restaurant. Eggs a bit dry, bacon a bit small but it's fast food so understandable. Good fast service. Some of the best biscuits in town
Lee B — Google review
I came in to order a bacon platter. I asked for gravy instead of the hash brown they give you. I was given a hash brown and the cashier lied to the manager and said I never said anything about gravy. Then I decided to get grits because I wasn't charged for the gravy. I was asked if I wanted butter to which I replied no. To then watch them pour butter on my grits. I lost my appetite and couldn't even eat it. I called to complain about the liar they have working the cash register and was given an attitude about me being the one in the wrong. I basically paid $12 for a Southern Punch drink (which i didn't even drink more than a few sips) which isn't even that good. So there you go. If you want to spend a lot of money for an ok, mediocre drink that you only drunk a few sips out of, this is the place.

These restaurants are mainly located in NC, but there are a few elsewhere, and so I took an opportunity to dine there during a recent trip and detoured over to Mt. Airy, NC. Upon entering the business I was immediately reminded of a similar style of restaurant, Tudors Biscuit World that are mainly found in WV, the main difference is that Biscuitville doesn't serve lunch/dinner items, only breakfast. When you walk in you are able to see the staff making fresh biscuits up at the main counter. Speaking of staff, we were greeted immediately after waking in by the friendliest ladies that gave you a similar feeling as if you'd just walked into your mother's, or grandmother's, kitchen. Our orders were prepared fresh and in a timely manner. I ordered the Biscuit & Sausage Gravy, Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit, and Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit. All were tasty and combined made a filling lunch. The main reason that my rating is only four (4) stars is simply the size of the biscuits vs price. For a business to call itself Biscuitville, I'd expect it to serve biscuits that stood out amongst the competition, not blend in with them.

Ordered and scheduled a pickup last week for this morning at 7am. Arrived for pick up. Of course it was under the wrong name, so we had to figure that out. Waited 25 minutes on order. What was the point of scheduling a 7am pick up??? So I was late dropping off for teachers as a PTO breakfast. Teachers were unable to enjoy before students arrived. After last year's order not being ready on time and this year's order being even later...we definitely would not recommend. We will take our business elsewhere - to a business that actually values our time.

I have to say one of the best sausage gravy biscuits I have ever had( other than mommas and my wife's). The country ham is the perfect amount of salty and the fried egg is perfect. I rarely give 5 stars on a breakfast place but.... if I could I'd give it a 6!!!!!!!!

Yummy! Who doesn't love a delicious homemade biscuit. The menu offers biscuits just about any way you can imagine. I can vouch for the bacon egg and cheese. Kind of a little pricey but so is everything these days.

It’s been a bit so I’ve since I’ve been to Biscuitville, probably four years. I remember they had the best biscuits ever. Unfortunately my experience didn’t live up to that. My wife’s biscuit was very small eggs were rubbery and flavorless. I got a breakfast platter that I would never get again disappointing food. I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.

Customers are delighted by the cleanliness of the restaurant, fast and friendly service, and the cheerful atmosphere created by the staff. The restaurant's ability to make customers feel good is commendable. The food is served quickly and surpasses expectations in taste. Located in Mt.Airy NC, The Waffle House comes highly recommended as it consistently delivers a satisfying breakfast experience.
Good service, great food, & as always… reasonably priced. This waffle house in Mount Airy gives off a solid experience for waffle house to any patron. Our waitress was attentive and catered to us very well. I was impressed with my quality of food & service. The chicken/pork patties were a burnt and I had to ask again for my side of biscuits and gravy, but it didn’t bother me much. They brought it out immediately without any issues. Decent location with a decent crowd. A mix of tourists and locals it seems like. Safe location as well. This location is one of the better ones. Would come back. Also took my brother here for his first time ever at a waffle house in the “south” and he enjoyed their meal whole experience. Great food, great service, & amazing vibes. 10/10

Breakfast before exploring downtown Mount Airy's sites, Mrs. K. and I decided that it was going to be the Waffle House. We arrived and got the last table that our waitress was just cleaning off. And since we knew what we wanted, she took our order right then. It's always fun to hear your order "shouted" to the cook! Not five minutes later, my hashbrown bowl arrived. Cooked properly with slightly underdone hash browns, ham, eggs and cheese. For a change, I had it topped with Bert's chili and while it's good chili, that was not a great choice for breakfast. I'll do that again for an evening meal. A moment later, my wife's waffle arrived. The report from my wife was that the ladies room was five stars. Super clean and that's pretty awesome to hear because I've heard some stories. But not today. A very filling meal, great coffee and we were on our way to see the Andy Griffith Museum and more here in "Mayberry."

Waffle House in Mount Airy is a fantastic spot for a great breakfast! The food here is always fresh, hot, and exactly what you expect from Waffle House—classic, delicious comfort food. Whether you’re getting waffles, eggs, bacon, or hashbrowns “all the way,” everything comes out cooked perfectly. What really stands out is the staff. They are always friendly, quick, and make you feel right at home. The service is fast, and they always check in to make sure you have everything you need. It’s a great place to stop in, whether you’re a local or just passing through. Highly recommend!

I love eating at ANY Waffle House, but I am biased to the one in my hometown of Dublin.. but nonetheless, we love the franchise, so we stopped here on a Saturday, mid-morning... We were on our way back to Radford from Myrtle Beach and was starving by the time we hit Mt Airy. Did not disappoint at all. Nice and fast, clean service. Thanks so much!

It's just not what it used to be, haven't been in 15 years now menu is a small placement used to be like 4 times the size heck it used to fold you opened it like a book.no more steak and eggs visible on menu.toast was 3"×3" at most and expensive! I guess if you were craving for a waffle or hash browns 3am and drinking it would be pretty good!!

Ocie's Restaurant offers affordable meals, with the possibility of two people having lunch for less than $10. The value is fantastic, and the comfort food, although average for the area, provides a satisfactory dining experience. The facility could benefit from some updates such as new paint and cleaning. Despite its dated appearance, Ocie's surprises customers with good food and great service in a cozy Mom & Pop atmosphere.
It's been awhile since I've been here, but it was my dad's favorite spot to eat and socialize... and they always had great food but also very sweet people!! I'll always have good memories of Ocie's when thinking of my dad who has now passed, and thankful to those for making this a wonderful place for him as well as the community. Truly the heart of Mt. Airy! I'll drop in for sure next time I'm in town.

Brady's Espresso, Donuts and Roastery is a cafe that offers a variety of delicious beverages. They have a small menu conveniently placed next to the window, making it easy to place your order. The drive-thru service is quick, which customers love. The prices are displayed next to each item, along with detailed descriptions of the drinks. This helps customers make informed choices. The owners of this family-owned establishment are friendly and provide excellent service.
We pulled off for some coffee during a road trip and when our original destination - the Starbucks right off the Interstate - had an hour-long wait, a local pointed us to Brady's. We're very glad they did. It was great coffee and great service and definitely worth the few extra minutes driving. There's a good chance Starbucks would be a longer wait, anyway. There's also a great little patio for outside seating if you want to take a little longer break.

Oh my gosh, just go! There isn’t a single thing I don’t like about Brady’s. The service was amazing. The donuts made me want to cry tears of joy. The coffee was some of the best I have ever had. It’s cute, it’s small, it’s local, you can drive through, you can walk up, you can buy bag of their coffee to take home, they have frozen hot chocolate. Truly, what more can want?

McDonald's is an iconic, enduring fast-food franchise renowned for its delectable hamburgers and crispy fries. While their meals are swiftly prepared, the presentation lacks finesse as ingredients seem hastily assembled. In terms of dining options, patrons are limited to takeout; all necessities like utensils and sauce packets must be requested separately. Furthermore, only a restricted number of napkins are provided within the bag—additional ones necessitate inquiry.

5:30am 10/3/25 to the boy who I hope isn’t a manager, please put a headset on and get off your phone to help your staff take orders. Placed a mobile order and waited at the intercom for an unnecessary about of time! People were driving off due to nobody taking orders!!! Since I had placed a mobile order, I drove up to the first window hoping someone would be there but I see the manager sitting at the desk all relaxed on his phone!! I drove to the second window to see NOBODY! I was beginning to wonder if everyone walked out and quit! A Hispanic woman came to the window saying no word as I told her my code for my mobile order (not even a good morning, just slides the door open and looks at me!) - sends the young man who was wearing a navy button up jacket, blonde hair, and disheveled looking to the window. He also just slid open the window saying nothing just looking at me as if I inconvenienced him! I understand being short staffed but there’s no excuse for orders not being taken but you are witnessed relaxing at the desk - on your phone. I really hope this review finds him. To that young man: welcome to the world of WORK. No matter the job or title - help your team but more importantly HAVE SOME INTEGRITY! I got my order without hearing a peep. I understand it’s early in the morning but being polite isn’t hard!

Just came through the drive thru excited for the snack wraps to be back, and the guy taking my order became extremely rude for no reason when I asked a simple question. He then continued to patronize me through the entire ordering process as if I was supposed to know the answer to what I was asking. I get to the window, the manager on duty takes my money and when I complained that he was extremely rude she quite literally turned her head and didn’t say a word. I said “oh so no one cares here, okay”, and she continued to then ignore what I said and asked if I wanted to wait on my food since it was going to take time to make. Absolutely ridiculous and horrible customer service. I have worked in fast food AS A MANAGER for many years and nothing warrants you being so rude for no reason. I will say upon receiving my food, the guy that took my order walked it out and apologized which I appreciated, but the manager lady provided zero words of any kind, and showed zero concern when I spoke up. To top it all off, when I drove away, the majority of my order was wrong. When I drove back around to the speaker box, the manager answered this time and didn’t ask me what part of it was wrong, she just proceeded to remake the part of the order that was actually correct; so when she handed me a new bag of food, it was only then that I was able to explain what was wrong with it which then gave me 5 more minutes of waiting. So all in all I have spent a good 15 minutes of my night receiving poor customer service, the wrong food, and an extended wait time for an extremely simple order. Truly the worst experience I’ve ever had at any McDonald’s restaurant.

Poor service at best. Ordered quarter pounder with cheese and bacon meal. After reviewing receipt, noticed a $2.29 up charge for the bacon. Menu clearly stated quarter pounder with cheese and bacon meal is $10.19. My meal cost me $12.48. I could have ate at chilies for less with better food. I brought this up to the cashier, and got a shoulder shrug.

my boyfriend made an online order, picked up his food, and noticed we did not receive the item he purchased. i went to the store, spoke to a manager, and waited nearly 30mins before driving back through the drive-thru (also saw the manager i spoke to sitting in an office) to receive the sandwich and luke warm fries. i got there at 4:11pm, left at 4:50pm. most definitely the worst experience i’ve had at this mcdonald’s.

Sucks, and the food is usually cold by the time you get it ?? Maybe McDonald's should listen to a man that knows: Reinvent McDonald's or renivate, because it is a poor man's cheap food, people were nice and slightly helpful, but slow and managers need to rested the manager training again and include lower employees, either re-Invent Mcdonals with a new look like KFC did long ago, as I did by thinking and coming up the large sweet tea with your purchased meal, Also got a plack for my Ideas and people see me and always ask for advise about their businesses workings and upgrades and gimmics, simple thoughts,easy for me to thinking see how to make situations better ? I never tell lies, ever as my seller duty for God directly...
