"What'd Y'all Have?" Eating Breakfast at Mae's in Seven Springs-- Part 1

Seven Springs, North Carolina is just about 13 miles from Goldsboro, but to my knowledge, I'd never been there.

Mom had mentioned she'd heard of a place called Mae's Restaurant there, but had also never been, so it was time to correct that.

For such a short distance, it seemed like it took forever to get there. The 55 mph speed limit was just a suggestion to others on NC-111 and NC-55. Actually, it was twenty miles less than you should drive if you don't want to get run over.

We passed the Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, got on 55 and a few miles later, were parked in front of Mae's.

Nothing at all fancy about the place. We ate off Styrofoam plates with plastic knives and forks and drank out of Styrofoam cups.

A waitress came right over and asked what we wanted. I said a menu. After a bit, she found one. Another customer jokingly said you just tell them what you want, but that doesn't mean you'll get it. You eat whatever they bring you.

More to Come. --RoadDog
