Everything Under The Bun

Located in the corner of a strip mall, I was worried when I walked in at 1145 and very few people were at tables. Soon after noon, party after party walked in and by the time I left, most of the 11 booths and 9 tables were full, which is always a good sign. Not a fancy looking place, it serves the purpose of give 'em quick food and move 'em out. Everything Under the Bun does do lunch specials - chicken livers, pork chops and roast beef was among those served the day I went - but the focus here are dogs, burgers and other sandwiches. Now, you can get normal burgers and dogs, but they do offer some items with a twist. Think Elvis' peanut butter, honey and banana on a burger or hot dog (The King), or a nice greasy spoon breakfast on both (Jam It Up), to name a couple. For me, since they served Nathan's dogs - it's hard to ruin Nathan's - thought I'd go that route and try something cheaply. Two dogs for me: your basic kraut and mustard dogs - kraut lightly charred on the griddle is so awesome - and (don't judge me) a Jam It Up. Yeah, it seems like what you might get if you let your 7-year-old son come up with a new idea for a hot dog, but I gotta tell you, this works: lightly toasted bun, a spread of grape jelly, fresh-cooked bacon, weiner, then on top a scrambled egg and a layer of American cheese (Not bad, I'd ask for cheddar next time). It really does have the feel of a quick breakfast all mixed together. I'd do it again. Or I'd try The King.

This is one of my most favorite restaurants! I try to get something new every time, but it's hard to not get my faves, like the Reuben burger,...oh so good!!! I only get the chips because they're made in house and are super fresh! I always pour ketchup in the middle of the ranch and dip my chips into that concoction. :)

Remember your mother’s classic homemade food that you couldn’t get in a restaurant? This is the place you can get it. The onion rings blew Dairio out of the water. The atmosphere and service make you feel like you’re back in your mom’s house again. They never let our sweet tea get halfway before they immediately refilled it. Kind, down to earth people that took the time to make you feel comfortable. This is one of the best local secrets of Asheboro. They have kept their prices very affordable even with the outrageous inflation this year and they haven’t sacrificed quality. If you eat here, be decent and tip them. They go out of their way like most restaurants don’t nowadays.
