“ History in action. Hunts opened in the 50s and continues to offer a unique menu and service. They have great burgers, large orders of fries, delicious ice cream, and a large menu of other offerings. Because food is not precooked and they are often busy, don't be in a rush. Hunts is one of a kind and a local favorite. ”

“ If you're looking for classic, 50's carhop fare, you're in the right spot. If you're looking for fancy, keep going! While camping in the area, we were looking for an easy spot to dine with our two dogs. Hunt's was perfect. Cheap, fast, friendly. The pizza burger was so simple and so good. Meat pattie, mozzarella slice, pizza sauce. Also loved the onion rings. Crispy and freshly fried. Our son loved his double bacon cheeseburger. My husband opted for classic chicken tenders with housemade pickle chips. We also had a chocolate malt and vanilla shake which were super thick and rich. We love spots like this for their history, reputation, and classic menu. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby!! Bring cash! No cards accepted, and make sure to tip your carhop! ”

“ I used to go to Cookout a lot in North Carolina, and Hunt's Dairy Bar met my nostalgic needs for some hearty milkshakes! My husband and I split an ice cream sundae with chocolate, pineapple, and strawberry toppings. The ice cream was so smooth and creamy and they really pile on the toppings!! We wanted to try every savory snack/fries on the menu but were on our way to dinner. Maybe next time! ”
