Jackson’s Cafeteria remains in Gastonia NC. We last ate at the K&W in Myrtle Beach fall 2020. Our first time there, the food was really good….we went back two days later and I ended up sending my fried chicken back. Still, as you said, these type places are fading. We may give them another try soon. God Bless.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@Momtocam1997 Yes, someone else also mentioned Jackson's Cafeteria. I had forgotten about them. There was one in Lenoir many years ago, and I had even forgotten the existed.

[@KeithHouchens]

you were the best part of the video!

[@maryhughey8452]

Recently ate at K & W. Haven’t been there in quite a while. jasmine is great.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@maryhughey8452 Yes, she really is. Very sweet person and full of personality. Glad you got to meet her.

[@tonylashmit2613]

At the intro you mentioned MORRISONS CAFETERIA . We had one of those there at Hanes Mall next to SEARS when I was a kid. Glad yalls choices turned out great! Glad you got your wing! I've heard the breast with a wing attached is called an airline breast. I love Gernan chocolate pie . That's my go to or I'll get the egg custard if they don't have it. The look on your face Derrick at the 15:57 mark is priceless when Shawnasi said she went looking for that CHICKEN PAN PIE as yall were leaving ! Ginger and I hate we couldn't come unfortunately.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, I couldn't have imagined eating another bite, much less going and taking something home. I also remember the Morrisons in Hanes .all. I think I ate there a time or two. Most of my experiences at Morrison's, were in Florida. But I do remember there being one in Hanes Mall.

[@brentwest1774]

The first one I ate at was Concord and it's still there. I moved to Winston area for about 20 years and are at all the ones in Winston, High point, Chapill Hill, Statesville, Charlotte and most if not all the ones in Greensboro and not to forgetting Fayetteville.😊

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, there are still some around. I've always loved them.

[@elrodelectrical6382]

They have one in Greensboro NC at Friendly Center

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, that is correct

[@patriciahurley1867]

My husband's Grandmother loved K&W. Glad you enjoyed it. God bless.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, it was great!

[@phyllispitts6656]

There is C&H Cafeteria, in Kernersville NC😊, that would be approximately 10 mile, take 40 eastbound, from Healy Drive.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@phyllispitts6656 Yes, many people have commented about it. We just don't get to Kernersville very often. We were in Winston-Salem for medical reasons. We had fun childhood memories of K&W, and that's why we went there.

[@restylesecrets8251]

I love you guys. I've never visited the area where you live and/or visit, but will be going to Myrtle Beach at the end of March for the first time, so suspect I will try some of your recommendations. You're informative, friendly, genuine, thoughtful, sometimes funny, everything I like in food reviewers. I will admit I was thinking, wait, no, you already got apples, don't get that pie, get the blueberry... but you went ahead and did your own mind. LOL. Thanks for a great video, among many others. xoxo

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate it. Hope you have a safe and fun trip to Myrtle Beach. If you do try anything that you have seen in our videos, please let us know about it, and what you think of it! Yes, I didn't make the connection between the apples as a side, and also apple pie, until afterwards.

[@cherylbowens680]

The food looked delicious! Glad y'all enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!❤❤

[@NCMemoryMakers]

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@lindablair919]

My late mother loved cafeterias because of all the veggies. I don’t even know where the nearest cafeteria would be to where I live. If I google cafeterias, I get cafes. Looked so good!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

It was very good. Sadly, cafeterias are dwindling. I don't understand why. You get great food and a great value.

[@reneewhetten4909]

The food looked great! Friendly people makes for a wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing.

[@luwonnaoakes6375]

We enjoyed your video! My husband and I grew up near Winston/in Winston and we both enjoy K&W. Sadly we do not feel the food is as good as it used to be- but we still enjoy going. If you get the chance- really try C&H cafeteria in Kernersville. We discovered it 3-4 years ago. Interesting note- my family and some friends of ours at lunch at the K&W after church the Sunday that it blew up on that early Monday morning. I’d just graduated recently from Appalachian and was teaching at Sugar Loaf Elementary on Hwy 16 in Taylorsville- my mom called that Monday AM and told me it had blown up! We all had a very strange feeling for a while. Enjoyed your video!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I can imagine that would be a strange feeling, knowing you had just eaten there. It bothered me to hear about it, and I hadn't eaten there that recently. Thank you for the suggestion. We are rarely ever in Kernersville, except passing through. But if we ever are, we'll keep it in mind.

[@TracyfromNC]

Love K &W and J &S...there is a great one in Kernersville called C & H.

[@amberbryant8141]

It’s very nice K&W Cafeteria Winston Salem. My hometown Asheville always love it so good food country style steak with mashed potato, green beans, baked macaroni cheese and cheesecake so very delicious 🤤 I remember that J&S Cafeteria no more change name is J&S Kitchen. My mom, aunt and I not very happy 😒

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Did not know that about J&S changing their name. Do they still serve the same type of cafeteria style food?

[@amberbryant8141]

@@NCMemoryMakers I think maybe same style or not sure. But my 2nd cousin said that pretty good foods. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@kellyleonard322]

Great video 💯

Been going to K&W my whole life in Roanoke VA❤

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Our friends, the Vafunseekers, just did a review at the Roanoke location. Not sure if you know them, but check out their channel as well. They just went there about a month ago.

[@philliproupe8967]

Yes I seen it. Love there channel as well.

[@davidprice6726]

There is a Jackson's Cafeteria in Gastonia NC and it has been around for a long time and still draws a crowd

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, another lady from that area also mentioned that. We plan to try it sometime.

[@tonylashmit2613]

If I'm not mistaken there were either 1 or 2 K & W restaurants in Myrtle Beach back in the day?

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I'm not sure about down in Myrtle Beach, but I know there was one in North Myrtle, that closed down several years back.

[@vafunseekers]

So glad that you two had a great experience at K&W. Everything you got looked delicious. That fried chicken really looked good. We really loved our food at the Roanoke location. When we went everyone was so friendly and we enjoyed our visit. You can't beat the price!!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I don't believe there is a better deal in town. Yes, we had a really good lunch. Everything was good, from the food, to the servers. Overall great experience.

[@christycleary216]

K & W brings a lot of fond memories going with my Grandparents. The food was always good.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, I have lots of fond memories there, as well. Glad you do, too. Great food, great value.

[@samueljwilliams3490]

Was one in Wilmington.

[@timbyrum6745]

There is a K and W in Concord NC

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, that's correct.

[@ronaldpreddy4971]

Wife and I love K&W. We are in High Point are 2 in Greensboro the best one is Friendly S/C. The staff and food at Friendly are always very accommodating and cheerful and food is always fresh. We took our grandson when he was little he is 25 now and wants to go back lol. Did have a K&W and J&S in High Point. Don’t understand why people don’t go to cafeterias as much now.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I don't understand it, either. Cafeterias give you great food, at a great value. I miss having a J&S Cafeteria in our area.

[@CampsiteCruising]

Driven past K&W many times but have never stopped in. Might have to check it out

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, give it a try. Great food, at a very reasonable price.

[@angelaambrose2326]

When we would go to Savannah for Dr visits or/and shopping we would always go to Morrison’s Cafeteria….very good food. Their Waldorf salad and shrimp salad was so so good. That’s for sharing.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I really miss Morrison's Cafeteria. That used to be part of our family's Florida vacation, when we would visit the Sarasota area.

[@Rocksinthedriveway]

North Myrtle Closed years ago along with the Asheboro cafeteria. Bummer. Still looking for the merch, want one of those sweatshirts! Ask your audience, we all want one! Great Sunday morning show! ❤

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, I remember the one in North Myrtle Beach very well, because it was only a few minutes from the place my mom has down there. I don't think we ever ate at that one, but I was sad to see it close. I did learn there were more in North Carolina, around Raleigh, Rocky Mount, and even Wilmington. And I think Concord does have one. We only had two of these shirts made up. I just hate to have a bunch made up in bulk, and there not be much interest. We do appreciate your comment, however.

[@restylesecrets8251]

@@NCMemoryMakers there are a bunch of print-on-demand "merch" websites where you could upload your design... you don't make a heck of a lot in commission, but you don't have to do any work or investment beyond creating an account and uploading your design, choosing which products you want to offer. My husband sells his art drawings on Society6, but there are a lot of others out there. Fans get what they want and you don't have to invest any money. Win/win maybe?

My Wife and I just ate breakfast there this Sunday morning.We had a coupon we were planning on using but were not allowed to use and the date was still good.We couldn't believe how high the price of our meal was and it didn't include biscuits or toast.We usually eat at restaurants in Clemmons and just thought that we would give their breakfast a try since we had a discount coupon.We will Not be eating at K+W again since they don't honor their coupons and they charge you extra for biscuits or toast for breakfast.We will be eating at Pete's or Clemmons Kitchen from now on.They both have better food,lower prices and they don't charge you extra for bread.Oh Friendlier service too.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

We are very sorry to hear of your experience. We have not been there for breakfast, and yes, they should honor their coupons, if the coupons are still within the date. We certainly had great and friendly service that day...Some of the best. And our food was delicious. Everyone has their own experiences.

We will be in Silk Hope (Siler City) for Labor Day weekend with 4 Chuckwagons cooking over a wood fire. We will have one or two wagons the next weekend at the Lee County fair in Sanford. You are welcome to come out and eat with us and film the events we are at just let me know. Planning to be at the festival in Goldston NC on October 12 for festival (probably two wagons).

My grandmother took me to a Picadilly when I was young. It was very good. Then we upgraded to Sizzlers. 😂

I remember Piccadilly well. They bought out Morrison's, which was another cafeteria that I loved.

[@robingastonia]

I live in Gastonia and we have a cafeteria called Jackson's and it is on Franklin Blvd at Akers Center shopping center. It is really good. I love German Chocolate Pie. I make a German Chocolate Pie and they are really good pies. I remember growing up going shopping to Charlotte and we used to always go to S & W cafeteria and it was good. They are really good places to eat because you get a balanced meal and a dessert. I think the S & W's used to be in Belks downtown. I used to love the roast beef. Thank you for sharing.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for this comment. I had completely forgotten about Jackson's. There was one in the Lenoir mall right above our house, right after it opened. It didn't stay long. I haven't seen a Jackson's Cafeteria since then. Glad to know you have one down in Gastonia. We may just have to make a trip down there.

I live in Randleman. The K&W in Asheboro closed a few years ago. There used to be 2 locations in Greensboro and if I'm not mistaken they're both still open. There's also some in Myrtle Beach. We go to the south end when we go and I'm sure the one that's located there was still open last year when we went.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, our server yesterday was telling us that the one in Asheboro was no more. I was sad to hear that. I had eaten there a couple of times when I was down that way. It is sad to see so many cafeterias closing down. I remember the one in North Myrtle Beach very well.

There used to be a K&W cafeteria in Surfside Beach South Carolina it was next to the Surfside Beach Mall it is no longer there but we loved it . Near Murrell's Inlet. If you ever get to San Antonio Texas and that area, try Luby's Cafeteria, absolutely out of this world.

[@toddl4629]

K&W Food is not the same as it was Thats why you never see that many people there anymore and the cost is to high. If you want food that is good like K&W use to be go to C&H Cafeteria in Kernersville,NC. I love it there!
