Reply to "Question about Staggs?"

Thanks to all of the members who contributed an answer to my Staggs question.  I finally got around to revisiting Staggs and while I will admit it was good I have to concede that I believe that "Five Guys's" has them beat and thankfully Five Guys is open for dinner and open on weekends.  

When I visited Staggs Grocery though, for lunch, it was what should have been prime lunch time but surprisingly the lunch crowd was anything but.  By that I mean it wasn't a crowd and in fact there was plenty of open seating and the number of patrons was down from what I remember it being years ago.  I will say that the crinkle cut fries were very good and the Coke was very strong and tasty but I'm not a big fan of the Hamburger/Cheeseburger even though it was (as I like it) prepared from fresh, not frozen, meat and prepared when ordered.  It could be that the reduced crowd was due to the construction in the area because with the road closed and work going on the buildings in the area some people may be put off and decide not to go to the extra trouble of getting to Staggs.  

As for the other two restaurants, in the area, it seems that "Rays at the Bank" is a tablecloth formal type restaurant and Seasons, a more meat and three type Southern cooking I can't comment on either as I have not tried either one.  Still I'm very glad that the area is seeing a revival and I hope that the three restaurants that are there now and the one that is to come will all thrive and do well.
