Luckily for me, I even found an Andy’s location that was closer to my work than Roanoke Rapids. Lo and behold, there is an Andy’s location in Littleton, North Carolina, which is only about a mile south of the Virginia border and about 20 minutes from my office. Needless to say, I’ve been crossing the state line for burgers ever since!
All Andy’s locations are within the Tar Heel state, and at this time there are over one hundred Andy’s scattered throughout North Carolina. The décor of the Andy’s establishments is truly unique. When you step into an Andy’s restaurant, it’s like going back into the time capsule to the 1950’s burger and malt shops.
Okay, now on to the food…and the burgers! Burgers and cheeseburgers grilled hot and to perfection while you wait. I usually stay pretty basic, and go for the Andy’s Original Special which includes the delicious Andy’s cheeseburger, piping hot fries and a 24 ounce drink! The famous Andy’s cheeseburger is a 5.5 ounce patty of fresh, lean ground chuck served with American cheese and made any way you’d like it. In addition to cheese and bacon, you can choose from twelve more toppings! And for the hearty appetites, you can go for Andy’s double or triple burgers…and even make those bacon burgers!!
The “A” in Andy’s is their grade from me…a great burger at a reasonable price in a really cool atmosphere! And a particular shout out to my local Andy’s at 2455 Eaton’s Ferry Road in Littleton, NC. It’s a popular eatery to the folks that live, work and vacation around the Lake Gaston area, along with local law enforcement on both sides of the Virginia-North Carolina state line. The operator of the Lake Gaston Andy’s, Tim Belmont, and all of his staff will welcome you personally to their Andy’s, and go out of their way to make your dining experience a memorable one at “The Lake.”
