This place has one of the best gravy biscuits in town, the bacon is always flavorful here. They also have the best fried bologna in town, a good thick slice fried.. trust me, it's not like any other bologna, you will not be disappointed!!

Lunch on Friday and very busy. The gentleman bussing tables pointed us to the last table available. Had the special to go - which was a scoop of homemade chicken salad (delish) served w/crackers, fruit cup (ok) and nice slice of very moist German chocolate cake. Also enjoyed in restaurant a footlong hotdog (very good chili & slaw) and cheeseburger along with fries and the best onion rings I have enjoyed in a long time. Fast and super friendly service. Definitely locals favorite. Reasonable prices. Looking forward to next visit.

I love the 50s. This is the best restaurant you will ever eat at. Food is always constant and delicious. I could eat every meal for the rest of my life here to include breakfast, lunch, and dinner and not have a complaint at all.

50's Snack Bar is a quaint hometown restaurant. They offer a little of something for everyone. It was a recommendation from one of my customers. I found the records and album jackets in the bathroom to be a unique throwback touch. They support the NC HWY Patrol - that's a thumbs up right there !!!

Fun local diner with friendly, helpful staff. They are open from 7am-2 pm during the week serving breakfast and lunch. Because of limited staff the diner is temporarily closed on Saturday. The breakfast menu has a lot of choices and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the home cooking and welcoming atmosphere.

Diner style food with 50's decor, plus posters & memorabilia from the 70s and 80s. My BLT was delicious, my mom enjoyed her "Joan's dog", and service was good.

Great homeade gravy and biscuits. They serve my absolute favorite country ham. Took my nephew out for breakfast and they made sure to make it special for the little man. He loved his snowman pancake she brought out for him.
