Near our hotel was this family restaurant that was ALWAYS crowded. We decided to check it out, and I would rank it as one of three best places we ate all weekend! One of their options was to order a meat, and then you could add either the salad bar, soup bar, or vegetable bar (or all 3). We chose the vegetable bar. I should have just ordered that! They had 12 vegetables to choose from, and it wasn't things like sliced tomatoes that you see in so many country places. I'm talking collards, lima beans, corn, squash, okra, stewed okra & tomatoes, peas, green beans...and on and on and on!
Somewhat amusing (and also a little horrifying) was the decor of the place. Tightly packed, every inch of the walls and booths and ceilings were decorated with old metal advertisements, wooden decorations...and sayings. I would say 90% of the sayings were derogatory towards men. For example: God created men first so he could correct the rough draft. or The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
There were a few sayings that were men-friendly, but not many! We debated whether the owner was a woman who had a bad marriage, or a man with just a terrible advertising idea of getting women to come eat! But if you ever pass through Morganton, NC and are looking for somewhere to eat, I highly recommend this place. Reasonable prices and GREAT food.
