๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ So two things, first IDK who didn't rate this place a 5 star lol. Second, who didn't give this a 5 star review. I am very judgmental person with restaurants and this is legit, the best place we've been too in the year and a half we've been in NC. Personally I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the NASTY BURGER, it is...
