First NC road trip in about a year landed us in this tiny railroad town. The old station is at a cross road intersection and there you will find the Crossroads Cafe, where they serve breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. First of all, a restaurant that serves breakfast at all hours immediately has gained my respect and piqued my curiosity. My restaurant radar was getting pretty good readings on this place.
I ordered a hash-browns-centric dish with a perfect mix of crunchy and soft potato strips, onions, peppers and extra-crispy bacon (the only way I like it), with something I simply forgot to ask that they omit - the dreaded American Cheese - and two over-medium eggs on top. If I ever go back I will most likely on principle ask them to hold the processed cheese, but honestly it was divine. I was so floored by the deliciousness I decided to shoot the picture even though I'd already begun eating - it was simply that good.
And yes, the biscuit with that packaged apple jelly was really nice. Fluffy, salty, super hot and not too rich. My companion had biscuits and sausage gravy, which he said were the best he'd ever had. I had to take a taste and indeed it was just what you'd want - hot and full of flavor, even in the non-sausage bites, and a peppery kick.
