Short Sugar’s: 60 Years and Counting!!Short Sugar’s is known internationally as having some the best barbeque there is. Countless food experts have said so, but I bet there’s not a soul in the entire region that doesn’t know that already! Short Sugar’s Two, located at 234 S. Scales St., is a charming lunch-counter style downtown diner that serves up great food and great service. Come by, say hello to the Overbys and treat yourself to a barbeque sandwich, a hotdog or any of the other mouthwatering items on their extensive menu.
Vickie’s Carolina Café is THE Classic Diner!
Remember that great little downtown diner you went to with you grandmother for a grilled cheese sandwich and a coke? Walking into Vickie’s Caroline Café, located at 224 Settle St, will bring back that memory every time. This is the classic diner. The food is always great but the service even better – fast and friendly. If you don’t like to being called “sweetie” or “hun”, this might not be the place for you. The café is open for breakfast (best omelets and pancakes ever!) and lunch (although the breakfast menu is available all day.) There is a fixed menu at the table but you’ll have to “check the board” for the daily offerings of meats, casseroles and vegetables. If its chicken casserole day, you better get there early, it always sells out! Go by and have a seat at the counter or a booth and let Vickie Rogers and her staff take care of you and make your day brighter.
Don’t forget about your locally owned downtown Reidsville restaurants the next time you dine out. Thank you.
