4. Black's Grill

Blacks

the famous slaw spoon 1946-1995

fried bologna sandwhich

My family is from Lincolton North Carolina. Every time we go back home to visit family, Black's grill is the one place we always have to stop by. It has been there since the 1940's and my grandma and two of my aunts even worked there. The best part about Blacks is that it's the same every time I go there, just how it was when it first opened. My favorite things to get at Blacks are cheeseburgers and fried bologna sandwiches. To make it better, all of their sandwiches are topped with slaw, which is different than cole slaw. It sounds gross, but I think its the best possible combination there is. The great news is, since my aunts and grandma worked there growing up, they know the secret slaw recipe. Even though blacks is far away, and the burgers and fried bologna just can't be as good in Florida, we can still get the same southern slaw that my family grew up on. I can honestly say that I would choose a Black's slaw burger over most expensive steaks any day. One more thing........you can never leave Black's without a jar of spiced pickles.
