Granny's restaurant, lunch spot, breakfast stop, hole in the wall... whatever you wish to call it, is a little behind the times. I remember years ago they were talking about remodeling the building. Then they mentioned an addition to the existing structure. Now I think they are just waiting for someone to buy them out and build something there. The Weaverville Hardee's that was across the street diagonally went out of business due to mismanagement when it comes down to it. I stopped going because it looked unkept totally from the outside, then I walked it and got bad attitudes and service, and the Manager was constantly behind the counter eating. It kind of made me lose my appetite.Granny's is a great place for a quick snack, home cookin, breakfast and lunch specials, and periodic desserts. Some people call it the "greasy spoon" because there is nothing "Green" about the place (well I did see they had some fruit one day, lol). Country Cooking in the raw, maybe just lightly blended to match the mixed clientel around Weaverville. Contractors and subcontractors (as well as regulars and locals) fill this place up for breakfast and lunch. You have to go outside (and then in another side door) to use the bathroom, so it is kinda the outhouse effect. I remember years ago, they used to ask what type of ham... City or Country. I did not know at the time, but quickly realized "City" ham was what I wanted. For those of you who do not know what Country Ham is; it is a slab of thick ham and covered in salt. Throw that "slab" on a biscuit with some eggs and breakfast was served. I think it comes from back in the days before we had refrigerators and food slicers. I like my ham thin, and the Boar's Head brand if available.
Granny's has been around for years, but with the area growth, they will be forced to make a move soon or get run over by incoming chain restaurants and competition. Businesses are going to eat the New Stock Road exit in Weaverville NC alive. There is too much room and it is the perfect connector to Woodfin and North Asheville. Granny... can you please tell us your plans!
