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 would love to live in a small town and have places like snappy lunch to spend my money on and experience the beautiful people with pure hearts MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU ALL 😊
Thanks so much for posting this!!! I cook for a living and love Andy, I think im gonna have to go down there and eat a pork chop for myself. Keep the great videos coming and God bless you both!!
I can't tell you how comforting it is to hear that intro music when I click on one of your posts. Just like every thing you do, I really appreciate you posting this!
Enjoyed! Love the owner. I have cooked and ran my own business many years. His job is not an easy one. The food looks delicious. Nice to go he has tried to keep the prices decent. I probably will never make it to the Snappy Cafe but loved hearing all about it.
When I looked up the menu, I thought I was looking at an old menu. Those prices are unbelievable!! And in a good way. I wish there were more places like this.
I just found this channel & im in love with it. Vacationed in the Boone area about 10-12 years ago & fell in love with this area. Visited Mt. Airy for an afternoon & wish I had visited this restaurant. Your giving me a reason to revisit the area
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.
WOW!!!!! those prices!!!!!! these people truly care about others you can tell. I love it! Would love to visit this place someday and try their food! God bless!
I've never been to Mount Air. I hope and pray that someday I will get to. Thanks John and Jodi for everything you do on this channel. I absolutely loved it
You're hitting it out of the Park John, you put The Appalachian Channel on the map, with high quality content, that never ceases to amaze me..and I've also learned a whole lot.
Thanks for another great video! Looking forward to the next one, you guys are great at showing the people, places and traditions that are really rare these days🙂
Hello from KY love your channel ❤️.What a real treat seeing the Snappy diner.I would love to visit someday.I loved the interview,it felt real down home.Just subscribed to the channel.❤
When living in NC (Madison & Reidsville), I visit Mt Airy often…loved the pork chop sandwich, it’s definitely an experience! I loved watching Andy Griffith and still watch the re-runs❤ I love all the memorabilia that’s in that little town❤ great video ❤
Snappy Lunch is one of the coolest places EVER! The pork chops sandwich is pretty good, but like the man said, the biscuits are THE BEST!! We drive through Mount Airy just about every year on our way to the Carolina coast and we ALWAYS stop for breakfast!
Loved me some pork chop Samiches at recent Mayberry Days. Loved the fried bologna samich too! Keep an eye out for the Mayberry squad car at 6:53.. Thanks guys! Thanks Seth!
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!!
My lifelong friend, Bo Pierce, portrays Briscoe Darling in Mayberry Days. He has shared several pictures from Snappy Lunch over the years. Enjoyed the video!
Fantastic video and the Snappy Lunch diner is a treat ! Seth seems to be a very down home soul and seeing the menu at Snappy Lunch I can't wait to visit. Happy to see the prices are not jacked up and the everyday resident or tourist feels they got a great meal at a great price. That doesn't happen very much in this day and time. Thank you Seth !!
Really cool thanks for sharing. I been thru the town a few times, but never stopped. Usually due to me being in a wheelchair at the time. But know mobility is better. I want to experience Mt Airy more and especially try out Snappy lunch.
My goodness, I am going to have to have a pork chop sandwich. Love your videos, God Bless you both. I'd like to know when your T-shirts will be available for purchase. Christmas is coming and I'd love to be able to buy a few gifts. I love your design. Keep your famous videos coming. Love from Texas 🇨🇱
A Jaccard, is the meat tenderizing machine. As a restaurant supplier for 28 years I must say that Snappy’s is top notch, salt of the Earth people and food.
I would be happy to try the pork sandwich. Looks like a fantastic place to eat, and at those prices, I think I would bring a gift! If gifts aren’t accepted, I would volunteer to clean a few tables.
Enjoyed the video John & Jodi. It's 10:00 pm and I'm starving to death for a pork chop sandwich. Lol. Those looked so good. Thanks for the video and y'all be safe and God bess.
I want to go to Mt Airy NC for the day and visit myself. I live in the state next door. Maybe make it 2 days staying overnight. I've watched all 8 seasons of tags about 200 times probably. I am a couple of years younger than Ron Howard. It's been a part of my life. Still is and will be until I'm gone.
The descriptions of the recipes are making me want to cook some of these things up. I see some innovative techniques, a willingness to try things here…..
We were there (maybe 10 years ago) and I could've sworn they deep-fried the pork. I can still picture it unless my mind is playing tricks on me in my old age! LOL It was a really fun day visiting Mt. Airy--everyone should go.
Use to go with my grandpa here on Saturday mornings hed place music across the street at the Earl and we'd always get a breaded cheeseburger all the Way from here brings back a lot of memories
Catching up on your wonderful videos John and Jodi, been dealing with some health issues, but thats all in that rear view mirror of life now, so i look forward to travelin once again through your videos. Love from a devoted Maine fan ❤❤❤
Good catch! We visited the jail and got some priceless pictures and a tour of the town in the police car. Even blew the si- ren. Our driver dressed like Andy did and was an excellent ambassador for the city.
This looks like a place I would love to Visit. God bless Otis. he was always my favorite as a kid and I grew up to be just like him for about 35 years. miracle's do happen thank goodness. You misspoke saying everything was under 5 bucks. look @ the price of the all meat burger then add the bacon for 2 bucks. It well exceeded the 5 buck mark but yea place is wonderful. that town racks in the Money of tourism and as Floyd the Barbour would say *It's a beautiful thing* He said that quote in several episodes
5 years ago in 2018 my girlfriend and I drove from Central Virginia to Mt. Airy NC and immediately fell in love with the town, We also visited Snappy Lunch, Great place, But what really sold me was i went into Opies candy store to buy jawbreakers and the young lady said they were closed but she said grab you a handful at no charge, I thanked her and told her I'd be back tomorrow to purchase some more jawbreakers which i did, If you've never been to Mt. Airy NC i suggest you go, Once you enter that town you're family.
I’ve never been to North Carolina and wasn’t aware of Mayberry Days. But this video has me considering flying from California, just for a Pork Chop Sandwich. Great Video, Thank you.
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... 😊 A Small Town With a Big Heart...
Andy Griffith was a wonderful man and an very talented actor.
We need more Andy’s..
🍻
What's that have to do with Snappy Lunch? 😂😂
Snappy Lunch is a real treasure! We loved it when we visited Mount Airy. I can’t wait to go back again!! ❤❤
Snappy Lunch is a legend and real America Treasure! Thanks for the comment and watching the video... John & Jodi
Keeping your prices fair and honest with good quality food is why you've been in business for 100 years... Keep up the great work. Thanks, RT

Snappy Lunch, very Impressive. The food looks and sounds delicious. Great Value.
Great food at a reasonable price. I would raise the price a little, the Chef is great offering good wholesome food! Hello from Toronto!

Thanks John and Jodi for this video, so..interesting and fun to learn about.
We visited here a few years ago..it’s about 2 hours N of us. Thoroughly enjoyed it..Thanks for showcasing a unique and historical town.

No NC pit master would ever allow mustard or onions on a BBQ sandwich
I've lived in N.C. most of my life and i've always known a burger with mustard,chili, onions and slaw as a Carolina burger.
My lifelong friend, Bo Pierce, portrays Briscoe Darling in Mayberry Days. He has shared several pictures from Snappy Lunch over the years. Enjoyed the video!
Would love to take a road trip in those parts from NE Ks.....Age 😥 I grew up and still watch Andy Griffith shows. 😍🌻
Great video, I really like Mt.Airy it's a great little town to visit 😊😊😊😊

6 minutes and 55 seconds into the video the Mayberry police car drives right outside the door.❤

Oh and have one of those little yellow cookies
FANTASTIC video

Unpretentious grassroots hospitality. The America I know and love.
Wow those prices are fantastic 👏 👌.
Yes they are!
They call it The Biden Buster
Do you know which 2 episodes Andy mentions the Snappy Lunch? Would love to know! Outstanding video.
I wanted to try it, but they lost me at it being sweet. 😮 great video though!!!🧡
oh no its not sweet to me just the coleslaw maybe. Thanks for another comment my friend April!
it's not really as sweet as you would think! There's a lot of flavor going on! 😊
Love pork chop sandwich Sir.
Had one when i was up tou way but not from you. Wish i had 3 of them now.
