Great small business! I want one of everything y'all got. Chili slaw dog looked amazing. Thank you for supporting small business and sharing with us. God Bless and safe travels.

This is definitely your kind of place too! Delicious food at good prices and a small business. You can't go wrong supporting this business. Everyone was so friendly and kind here. God Bless.

[@teresareed5597]

David, you tickled me saying that about one of those “red” hot dogs. A hundred years ago I left Ohio to go to college in Nashville TN, not knowing there was any other way to make hot dogs than what we ate at home. Got one in the school cafeteria, bit in and was HORRIFIED to see the thing was bright red inside! Talk about adding to home sickness, lol! But I’m a little more tolerant of different types of foods nowadays. Thank you for taking us along - we love your videos. Be careful out there! 💕🛣️🚘

[@vafunseekers]

Teresa, We have had so many comments on different videos about the red hotdogs. Many people have never seen or heard of them. We prefer the beef hotdogs but with the right fixin's a red hot dog can be good. Thanks for sharing your story about your first experience with a red hot dog. Loved it!

Would love to visit this place. Reminds of a drive-in restaurant I used to visit in my younger years. Brought back some pleasant memories. That burger and steak sandwich were huge! They certainly don’t skimp on the size! Don’t see how you were able to eat that dog plus blueberry cobbler and ice cream after your initial order. But you did; another clean plate award. Another good review. Thanks for sharing.

[@vafunseekers]

You and Kelly definitely would enjoy this restaurant. Have you ever been to Radford before? It's a beautiful town. We were planning on doing another review but after that meal there was no way. Thanks for watching!

We really enjoyed meeting you. May God continue to bless you, your family and business.

[@markwald4819]

What a great video, this place had a little bit of everything.Cindy your burger was huge and looked very yummy. That was the most excited i saw Carly about a meal review, Her eggs with the cheese lookef perfectly cooked, and the bacon caught my eye too and plenty of it. The ribeye sandwich was appealing and had plenty of meat on a big bun. Those fries were cooked the way i like them golden brown. Of course David had to have his onion rings, glad he enjoyed them. He out did himself today, clean plate, basket, award and for an oncor he demolished that slaw and chill dog and to top it off that blueberry cobbler and ice cream didn't have a chance either lol.Also like that they have car service especially good for handicapped people.The viewer that recommended that place was right as rain. I recommended a chinese restaurant on Pittsburgh near the university to a you tube couple i subscripe too, and the drove all the way from Cleveland to try it, i was so happy they really enjoyed it. I hope your family has a nice labor day. God Bless you 🇺🇸

[@vafunseekers]

Carly loved those eggs and toast! David definitely took up his clean plate club up a notch with those additions to his meal. We enjoyed everything about this place. The owner and staff were so welcoming and know how to take care of their customers. That's so cool that the KZbin couple reviewed the restaurant you suggested. We are having a great weekend. Hope you are too. God Bless!

This sure makes up for the Guy Fieri duds at sea, doesn't it? Everything the three of you had looked delicious! But, I must ask... What is a "Chuckwagon" sandwich? Next time I head down to Pigeon Forge, I'm making a diversion here for lunch and snacks to take with me to the hotel. This review started out great by their open display of their love of our Savior and our country! Then came the food! While getting ready for worship this morning, my breakfast plans were changed when the microwave made a very sudden "bang" and a very bright flash. It displayed an "H9" on the display. And my food was still cold! After worship, I ended-up making an unplanned trip to Walmart for a replacement. So, I've had an eventful day! In seeing this review, I wonder how many new customers you've sent to deserving businesses? Positive reviews are the best word-of-mouth advertising there is. The best customer advocacy. Businesses like advocates. I really enjoyed this review. God Bless!

[@shennaviers3782]

Chuckwagon is a veal patty. Very loved by many! Thanks for the kind words

[@vafunseekers]

Chuckwagons are quite popular. I know people search for them. Our local Dairy Queen used to have them when it was locally owned before it was sold. I also remember them being on the menu at school. We have lots of people tell us they go to places we review. They also will go looking through our reviews when they are wanting to go out to eat or take a road trip. We love bringing family owned businesses to our subscribers. They are happy and the business owners are happy to have them. Hanks deserves her customer it gets. You will enjoy dining there John. The food and service are outstanding.
