First went there about 60 years ago as teens from the old Riverside area. Try to go by Merritts when we are back in town occasionally now, even though we go back into New Hanover County as little as possible nowadays. (getting too crowded)

I live in Nashville TN and travel to Memphis for BBQ but Merritt's vinager based BBQ is the best BBQ by far.

It's a throwback to a better time. The 1950s drive in era. My youth. I loved the atmosphere. Burgers were great. This was my first time and I think I'll be a regular.

Can't speak for the entire menu. I ordered the burger expecting a home made patty...WRONG...Frozen , took one bite and spit it out. Horrible to say the least. Put food back on tray paid the nice waitress and went to a restaurant with real food. You live, you learn. Never going back.
