    The Snappy Lunch is a Mount Airy treasure. Their breakfast is the best in town, hands down, no questions. The hot dogs are good and feature those pink wieners, mustard, homemade chili and coleslaw. The star of the Snappy Lunch is the famous Pork Chop Sandwich. When ordered “All the way,” the grill fried Pork Chop Sandwich comes with mustard, chili, slaw, onion, and tomato. Delicious and a meal in itself. Add a sweet tea and your set. Thanks for the behind the scene video featuring the Snappy Lunch. - Tennessee Smoky

    I was born and raised in Mount Airy and my dad took me there for breakfast and lunch. Charles Dow was really nice to us. The pork chop sandwich is good, but I always get the depression bread burger and hot dogs . The chili is really sweet. While it was mentioned in the Andy Griffith show. Mount Airy really hit the map for tourism at Snappy Lunch after Oprah Winfrey had it on her show. I try to go back there when I visit my Mom. Another great Burger and dogs are ODell's sandwich shop.

    As the saying goes "back in the day" in North Carolina many years ago a regular hamburger automatically came with coleslaw (vinegar based Carolina style), chopped onion and mustard. Few people realize this. It's still one of the best hamburgers that you will ever eat!! Also many BBQ sandwiches were served this way too. I try and keep this memory alive and I still serve it to my family this way. If you have never tried or heard of it, it's a great treat to dress up a plain ole hamburger vs the ole lettuce and tomato combo!!

Airy NC i suggest you go, Once you enter that town you're family.

    I’ve eaten lunch there. Was visiting North Carolina Foam Inc. (NCFI) in Mt. Airy with a NASA Astronaut, Tony Antonelli, as NCFI made critical foam insulation for the Space Shuttle Program. The managers of NCFI took as to Snappy’s for lunch. We were standing on the sidewalk waiting in line to get in and people would slowly walk by staring at Tony in his blue NASA flight suit. One person finally asked if he was an Astronaut and when he said yes, they asked, “what the heck are you doing in Mt. Airy?” We had a great lunch and Tony signed a lot of autographs. It was a real treat for the kids in Snappy’s. Great memory.

    Seth was attending AppSt. Univ. and was working at the Daniel Boone Inn where he trained my son Ethan to do all the jobs at the restaurant. Upon graduating he went back to MtAiry and took over the restaurant.
    In 2020 we went to Mayberry Days for my birthday.
    We walked into the SL and there in the window at the grill was Seth...who called my son by name with a big friendly smile...
