My high school class of 1973 actually had our 50th reunion there last year. It was a good time with old friends. They actually had the room to the right as you come in set up for us with tea and water set out for us.

The corn pancakes are usually called “Hoe Cakes”. Farm workers would actually cook them on a hoe over an open fire. I’ve always liked them. Great video as usual!! Thanks!

This is such an awesome restaurant. This is our kind of place. We love good bbq and chicken. The bluegrass music, square dancing, and clogging was so much fun. Would like to see more clogging like you mentioned. I LOVE how there is no alcohol served here. Wish more restaurants and places would have a no alcohol policy. The pancake looking thing was a corn fritter probably. David's grandmother used to fix them like that. That's a fine idea of videoing you two square dancing. Spin your partner- Do si Do! Nice video!

Thank you for watching. As close as this place is to our house, we're ashamed to say we hadn't been in about 20 years. We decided last night, it was time to change that. I don't know if you all have ever seen Zeb Ross, but if you enjoy clogging, he's the greatest clogger I've ever seen. We saw him at Darnell Farms in Bryson City on our first visit, and didn't know who he was. Next thing we know, he's all over the internet on stage with Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan, performing in front of thousands of people. We are planning to go see him do some clogging this summer, and I think the dates are sometime in July. Hopefully, we can bring a good video then.

I've been going there since soon after they opened. I always enjoy it. They have a variety of can drinks for $1. You really can't beat the price !! We was there about a month ago and will be there again soon. Thanks for the video.

I think its great that there is a place to go where people can still learn how to square dance! It takes me back to a simpler time. Im in Randolph County NC. If there's a place similar near here i dont know about it. My mom used to tell of square dances and corn huskings here. Love the music too! Thanks for sharing!😊

They do, but it’s small and the place fills up quickly. They open at 4 pm every day. We arrived around 4:15 pm and were lucky to find a parking place. They have additional parking across the street, but that parking is paid. We were told when we arrived at 4:15 that it’d be a 45 min wait for a table for 2. It was well worth the wait though! Love the videos! We were able to stop at some locations this past week that you guys stopped at in the Sarasota area! Siesta Key is beautiful! Appreciate you and your honest reviews!

@NCMemoryMakers

3 ай бұрын

I'm sorry about the migraines. I know that must be uncomfortable. We actually have microphones, which tend to muffle the background music. But we actually decided against using them this time, even though we knew it would be loud, because we wanted to feature the music and the band that would be playing that night. You are correct, that parts of it were loud and hard to hear. We just felt that using the microphones, would kind of drown out our muffle what are the features of the place that we wanted to show. We knew that a lot of our listeners would enjoy the Bluegrass music, and we just wanted them to be able to hear it.

I'm guessing that they might find it cheaper than hiring a dishwasher. We don't make their policy for them, and I don't know their reasoning, and we didn't mind it.
