I've wanted to visit here for a long time and happened to be in the neighborhood so dropped in for a very late lunch.
It's was a little chilly out, but that didn't stop most of the tables outside from being filled. I decided to opt for some warmth inside. There wasn't hardly anyone in there and it was quiet, which was fine with me.
I was excited to try some of their eats and cheerily said "hello" to the young woman at the counter. Maybe I was a bit too cheery cos I just got a blank stare. So blank I was taken aback and asked her if they were open. She very quietly said yes. I said I wondered cos you just stared at me and then I laughed. She said nothing, so I asked if I could order to eat in. She nodded.
So I ordered my food and a soda. She repeated something. Again, very soft spoken, which doesn't work well with a mask on. I had to ask her again and it something was about the soda. OK.
Turned out the ice machine was broken at the soda fountain. Maybe that's what she was trying to convey in her very quiet voice. I asked if there was any ice in the back and she got me a cup of some.
After getting my drink I sat at a nearby table and waited for my order. When it arrived, a Polish sausage sandwich, it was huge. Served in a pretzel roll, which I didn't realize would be toasted. Nice that it was warm, but it would be better steamed, just my opinion. There was supposed to be some brown mustard on it, which I didn't taste or see anywhere. It would have been good with the kraut that was on the sausage. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. The pickles on the side were delicious.
I ordered grandma's macaroni salad for my side and it was macaroni, but nothing salady about it. I realized it was the pimento mac and cheese, which I didn't order. It was very, very dry. It just didn't seem worth with my time to try to converse again with the young lady at the counter, who barely speaks audibly, so I just ate what I could of it. It wasn't very good tho.
Maybe it's just me, but the vibe here is kinda strange. So much so that I don't know if it's worth returning, except Polish sausage sandwiches are a difficult thing to find in the Triangle!
