We are always stopping at places like McDonald's, Burger King, or Wendy’s for a hamburger.
Most of their hamburgers are precooked, they are okay if you are hungry, and you are in a hurry.
Sometimes, it is nice to sit down to a real home-cooked hamburger.
My husband said, If you want a real home-cooked hamburger then let's go to Staggs, they have the best.
So, for lunch today we went to Staggs in East Florence.
Staggs is located in an area of Florence that once was home to Sweet Water Mill, and many other industries but now has lots of empty buildings, all industry is gone.
The train depot that sat empty for many years has been remodeled and is used for parties, wedding dinners, birthday parties, and many other functions.
Staggs is a small diner that cooks your food on a grill right in front of you
We watched as the girls patted out the hamburger meat, put them on the grill, and the smell filled the air.
It was lunchtime and many workers filled the store, many would place their orders to go.
The dinner was small and filled up fast with customers.
The workers formed a line and a short-order clerk took their orders, very organized.
One person cooked the hamburgers, another dressed them, another bagged them.
When their order was complete, they would walk back to the cash register to pay their bills.
There were only three or four long tables in the cafe, I guess most of there customers were workers that came in groups.
The table where we were sitting filled up fast.
We savored every bite of our hamburgers, as we watched the lines of workers getting their food to go.
When everyone finished the waitress would clear the tables.
We paid at the register when we finished eating.
On the counter just above where the food was cooked was a tip jar. Probably everyone shared the tips.
The food was very good, the people were friendly, you got your food fast, and they were very organized.
A great restaurant for its size.
I would give it a thumbs up for a great place to eat good fast food!!!!
