Wanda's was referred by my AirBnB host. She stops serving breakfast at 11 and was out of biscuits by the time I called. I ordered 2 eggs scrambled w/ cheese, bacon & 2 pancakes.
Being a woman of color, I always order to-go when I'm in a new town or/and in the mountains until I can get a feel of the place. Especially when there are confederate flags within a stone's throw of my Airbnb, which is usually the case.. There were several rebel flags decorating the tombstones in the cemetery adjacent to a nearby church.
On a side note, I later saw a masked man driving a tractor pulling a trailer of costumed kids through the same cemetery. Halloween was two weeks away mind you... I also saw some literal chickens crossing the road. But that's for another day!
Any hoo, when I arrived not surprisingly there were no patrons (or staff) of color and the tv was on Fox News. The cashier was friendly. She told me the total was $9.34 and asked if I wanted to "add a tip." Bold move. The food was lukewarm but good! The pancakes were light in color, dense and tasted homemade. The syrup was made of sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) which is a miracle from on high! The cheese eggs didn't need seasoning & the bacon was expectedly greasy. But I needed protein, don't judge me! They even threw in sausage patties which I (may have been charged for) didn't get to try.
Wanda's allegedly opens at 6 so I was determined to get their early the next morning to try the infamous sausage biscuits I'd been dreaming of. I called incessantly but there was no answer & no voicemail. I checked the to-go menu, no business hours were posted. Finally I asked Google which said Wanda's is closed on Sundays. Yelp disagrees but who can you really trust?
SMILES - home-cooked food, decent prices, friendly cashier.
FROWNS - no business hours on the menu
I'd recommend Wanda's for breakfast at least and return again. Get there early before the biscuits run out!
