Pros: Restaurant Review Petro North Carolina Mebane

There was plenty of just about everything on the bar when we came through.
There was a wide variety of entrees.
The cottage cheese on the salad bar did not have anything added to it (like little green flecks of something that some restaurants add to theirs).
There was chocolate pudding as a dessert option.
Our waitress, Deborah, was outstanding. She reminded Vicki of the constantly moving character “Flo” on the video game “Flo’s Diner.” She was friendly, out-going, and very attentive to diners. Our drink glasses never got empty before she refilled them.

Cons: Restaurant Review Petro North Carolina Mebane

There was no attendant behind the bar to cut meat at the time Vicki was getting her entree.
There were no soup bowls on the bar at the time Vicki went to get dessert; however, they were being restocked as we were leaving the restaurant.
