Bologna Sandwich - MMMMMMmmmmmm Yummy! Wanted to try the pizza that everyone says is delicious but they didn't have any dough due to a large party earlier in the day? Also, ice cream is not available until April? Seriously, pizza and ice cream was not available. I did enjoy my visit though, and my girlfriend enjoyed her Cuban Sub. I will be back.

Great restaurant. You should list it. It's an offshoot of the original Piccolo's on Archer Avenue in Chicago.

WOW, this is a fantastic and unique place for lunch or family dinner! Their lunch special is value-based and deliciously filling. The restaurant owner happened to be in town during my visit and is quite the character - engaging, knowledgeable, and friendly. The pizza is cooked to order in a wood-fired oven and arrives VERY HOT, so be careful. Their salad is fresh and tasty. They serve real, southern SWEET tea! The atmosphere is pleasing and the environment is comfortable. I'm looking forward to returning and becoming a regular customer. See you there!

The title says it all! Best burger in town! Huge portions on burgers and fries. You will definitely not leave there hungry. My favorite burger there is the "fat boy" that has fried egg on it or the "juicy Lucy" a burger stuffed with cheese!

I liked the old time feel at this place. The bar was beautiful old wood. The food was average. I tried the fried mushrooms. Very greasy. The chicken salad was plentiful but average. The service was good and everyone was pleasant.

We live close by so I can attest that this place is great. The beer is cold and the drinks are great. The chips and dip are amazing. I love the fajitas and the fresh guacamole! You can find this spot very easily as it is right in the 321 corridor. The people are friendly and the food is authentic. You will love it.

On the way home from grandfather mountain we stopped at Hannah's BBQ. Very clean, friendly staff. We shared a combo plate. Shrewd pork,chicken ,ribs. Hush puppies ,red slaw and BBQ beans.
Everything was good. One of the spices from the meat was a bit spicy for me(I think the ribs) we were both full when finished.
I will eat there again when I'm the area.

If this place had a dinning room it would stay packed. All the food I've tried is nothing short of amazing. Priced fairly and generous portions. This one will surprise you!We are opening a dine-in restaurant down the street at 920 Wilkesboro Blvd in March. Thank you for your support and kind words.
