      We both were wanting to review the bbq so we didn't try the burgers or hotdogs. If we are back in the area and get a chance we will definitely have to try them out. Thanks for watching.

    My mother was from Reidsville and was there when this restaurant opened. She talked about it a lot and how much people loved eating there. Thank you for doing this video on it. I have eaten there a few times over the years when I have visited Reidsville and I always have fun memories about it.. Being from South Carolina myself, we have mustard-based barbecues. The first time I remember eating there they put coleslaw on the sandwich which I had never had before and mother laughed and said oh that’s something from North Carolina. They do all the time.!

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  8 месяцев назад +2

      That is so cool that your mother witnessed the opening of the restaurant and enjoyed it so much. We loved the old school feel and that they are still smoking the meat the same way. Glad it brought back some good memories. We recently visited South Carolina and tried some mustard-based bbq sauce. It wasn't bad but just not used to it. I don't care for slaw on my bbq sandwich and as you noticed in the video I put pickles on it. But they put slaw on the bbq in North Carolina and Virginia. One thing I enjoy about our travels is seeing regional foods and how things are a little different even in places not that far away. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. God Bless!

And right across the street I think there's Pete's burgers is Pete's burgers still across the street lol because Pete's burgers is like an old-school Roy Rogers they have a nice fixing bar who won the best burger joints I ever ate at.

    Hello My Friends,
    I tried to saying,”Short Sugars Bar B Que Pit “ 5 times! lol.
    I could not do it.
    I was wondering what a teenager burger was.
    I bet you could smell the smoke coming from the chimneys outside.
    I would give it a try but most likely not go out of my way for just that.
    I agree about the coleslaw, David. I also enjoy a heated version of coleslaw that I make for a switch up. Grated cabbage in a container, vegetable oil, vinegar and vinegar heated then poured over the cabbage. Refrigerate with covered lid until well chilled. You can also add grated carrot and thinly sliced green pepper. Season with S& P.
    I noticed that most of the homemade sauces are runny and not as thick as bottled store sauces.
    I enjoy one of the kind hometown eating joints.
    Interesting info about the beginnings of this establishment.
    I am sure they have the support of their community and word of mouth is a good indication of good food.
    Missed your sweetheart, Carly today.
    Safe travels and blessings always Cindy, David and Carly… 🫂👋🌹🥰

      I love the name of this place! lol I was able to say it 5 times but I was concentrating.
      I saw the teenager burger on the menu but did not ask about what it was. Now I wish I had. I always think it is a good sign when you actually see the smoke when you are at a bbq restaurant. Yes you could smell the smoke coming out the chimneys. Also thought it was neat seeing the cars pull up, honk their horns, and the car hops coming outside to take their order. I always enjoy going to the mom and pop diners and restaurants. Love the authentic feel of these kind of places.
      I see your slaw is a no mayo recipe. David would probably enjoy your recipe.
      I like when a restaurant has several options for bbq sauce to try. David said that he saw this sauce for sale in there but I missed it. It's interesting how when you go back and look at your footage, how you see things in the footage that you missed in person.
      Carly was at school. It was one of our Friday adventures. We always miss her when she is not with us. This week we are going to do a video on Friday too. So stay tuned! David normally will say the let's check this place out part in the opening on Fridays but he didn't so I had to throw it in real quick. lol

    Surely looks like a "must try" place. "Since 1949" is good sign, in my book.
    I'm such a fan of family businesses that do things a little differently. The "pull up and honk for service" method is true old school character. That Family Meal looked like an excellent value, too.
    I always appreciate your combination of your honest experience and your positivity in all your reviews. Take care! 🙏
