点评:While it does not have a name associated with any of the tv characters and is off main street The Derby Restaurant captures the essence and spirit of the real Mayberry and gives you a taste of the South's culinary past. The Derby will give you the best bang for your buck of any Mount Airy Eatery and considering the sidewalks in downtown "Mayberry" roll up at 5 o'clock it is your only defense against a growing sprawl of chain restaurants. We went first for lunch and got a hot meat and 3 sides for $7.79 !!! I had a surpising high quality and Delicious Beef Stew over rice accompanied by Southern Style Sweet Yams and a huge portion of Home made Mac and Cheese worthy of Aunt Bea's table. My wife had the Lexington BBQ which was shredded BBQ meats in sauce. She took the house salad as a side which included their own recipe salad dressing, while also indulging in the delicious Mac & Cheese. I was disappointed that they were out of Cobbler and so decided to pass up my hotel's complementry corn flakes and skim milk and return the next day for breakfast where I got 2 eggs, link sauceage and hash browns for $5.69. All was very good and I got my cobbler which was blackberry and not quite as excellent as the Peach Cobbler I had here 10 years ago. You wouldn't expect vegitarian offerings here but a platter of their home cooked favorites is available.
A word of warning: If you are looking for Bistro Atmosphere you won't find it here. The building is a 1937 gas station with add on and has the look of an industrial building. They are still using the original gas station restrooms. This is culinary history from the booths to the lunch counter. They also do sidewalk service. I'm not sure if this is a tradition or a Covid Thing. They are presently suffering from the labor shortage and there a two senior waitresses working their butt off waitng and bussing tables as well as running takeouts to the curside service so don't be shocked if you see an unbussed table. I found the staff friendly& service was prompt.
Since its here since '37 I'm sure Andy must've eaten here and if you like great food and great prices without bells and whistles you need to vist.
翻译:虽然它没有与任何电视角色相关的名字,而且不在主要街道上,但 Derby Restaurant 抓住了真正的 Mayberry 的精髓和精神,让您体验南方的烹饪历史。 Derby 将为您带来 Mount Airy Eatery 中物有所值的最佳体验,考虑到“Mayberry”市中心的人行道在 5 点钟开始卷起,这是您抵御不断扩张的连锁餐厅的唯一防御措施。我们先去吃午饭,以 7.79 美元的价格买了一份热肉和 3 道菜!!!我有一个令人惊讶的高品质和美味的炖牛肉米饭,伴随着南方风格的甜山药和大量自制的 Mac 和奶酪,值得 Bea 阿姨的餐桌。我的妻子吃了列克星敦烧烤,这是在酱汁中切碎的烧烤肉。她将自制沙拉作为配菜,其中包括他们自己的食谱沙拉酱,同时还沉迷于美味的通心粉和奶酪。我很失望他们没有 Cobbler,所以决定放弃我酒店的补充玉米片和脱脂牛奶,第二天回来吃早餐,我以 5.69 美元的价格买了 2 个鸡蛋、链接酱汁和薯饼。一切都很好,我得到了我的 cobbler,它是黑莓,不如 10 年前我在这里的 Peach Cobbler 好。您不会期望这里提供素食,但可以提供一盘他们家常烹制的美食。
一句警告:如果您正在寻找 Bistro Atmosphere,您不会在这里找到它。该建筑是一个 1937 年加装的加油站,具有工业建筑的外观。他们仍在使用原来的加油站洗手间。这是从摊位到午餐柜台的烹饪历史。他们还提供人行道服务。我不确定这是传统还是 Covid Thing。他们目前正遭受劳动力短缺的困扰,有两名高级女服务员在等候和收拾桌子,并负责外卖服务,所以如果您看到一张无人值守的桌子,请不要感到震惊。我发现工作人员很友好,服务很及时。
自 37 年以来它就在这里,我敢肯定安迪一定在这里吃过饭,如果你喜欢美味的食物和没有花里胡哨的价格,你需要参观。
