    My grandfather was Jimmy Vernon, owner of Vernons grill. The first photo of the lady behind the counter was my Great Grandmother Kathleen Brown Vernon. She and her husband Willis opened Vernon’s grill in 1944 and built this building in 1946. So many treasured family memories!

      Are those the same Vernons from Vernon's Produce. I used to eat there and Hillbilly Hide-A-Way all the time. Then I'd go to Peter Rabbit's for a couple cold ones

    The Milk Bar Restaurant reminds me of how restaurants used to be
    back in the 70's when I was a kid and there used to be a lot of them
    in the part of Oklahoma where I live here but there are only a couple
    of them still open and going today, I really enjoy older style restaurants
    here in other areas of the country along with old general stores, theaters,
    houses, buildings and other historic places from the past thank you John.

    I absolutely, positively LOVE LOVE LOVE The Milk Bar! Their specials are hearty and quite cost effective. Everything is good, here, but the catfish nuggets, the beef over rice, the homemade soup, the fried chicken livers, blackeyed peas and corn, cooked cabbage, fried okra, pintos, slaw, salmon patties, mashed potatoes, chicken pie and those fried cornbread cakes are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Try to hit them once a week - haven't been as often as I would like the past three years or so, but I am going to try to make up for that!!!

    I've lived in North Carolina all my life and I've never had the chance to explore all of these wonderful places. I hope and pray that I do someday. Because I love these old restaurants and these old general stores. Our Country needs more of this. A big shout-out thank to everyone at the Milk Bar for everything you all do. And John thank you so very much for everything you do. Everyone's hard work and dedication is outstanding 💪 👍 May GOD bless you all and keep you all safe and healthy where ever you go 🎉❤😊

    They have outstanding food. I remember eating there as a small child when it was Vernon's Grill. They used to have a juke box on the left as you start into the back and my sister, Cousin Tommy and I used to play it. Recently, I heard Johnny Paycheck's song "Don't Take Her She's All I Got." I think I first heard it on the juke box at Vernon's years ago.

Heck it all is 😂 Kathy the one praying owns a antique shop right up the street from them that is called "Just Plain Country Store" and she has a lot of great things in there and she is so sweet 😂 We all are just country and down to earth and the town of Walnut Cove is just a great place in general!

    My little town of Aviston Illinois had a cafe like this. Mainly breakfast and lunch. Angel Haven cafe then a couple more names after sold. If you couldnt find a seat you sit at a random table with others and youre bound to share who your relatives are and most likely your mama and papa knows their mama and papa.
