Nestled alongside the main road through Wadesboro you'll find this building that is pleasant looking enough. It's right next to a motel composed of cabins that isn't particularly nice looking. I'm not particularly familiar with this part of the world, so there may be other places to eat, but since we were in a bit of a rush through town, we wanted to find someplace, and since this popped up along the road and fit the bill of "not fast food", we stopped.
These days I'm just as likely to look in a strip mall for someplace to eat as anyplace else. It seems that I'm about as likely to find a good place to sit down and find something decent to eat as if I stop somewhere that's not in a strip mall. While in Mt. Olive for the New Years Pickle Drop, we decided to do just that when we came upon Andy's.
Even though our New Years celebration culminated with the Mt. Olive Pickle Drop, meaning that we were done by a few minutes past 7pm local time, there was little chance that we would make it home Sunday night. That's one of the problems with going somewhere that's 3 hours away. If we had started there we might have made it home, but that was a lot of driving to get where we were going. So we decided to stop on the way home and have a (somewhat) relaxing evening. That turned out to be the Embassy Suites Raleigh-Durham-Research Triangle East - about an hour from Mt. Olive, but still a ways from home.

Settling into the Embassy Suites on New Years Eve, we decided that we needed a bite to eat - but just about everything around had already closed. Luckily, Moe's was still open, and we managed to get inside just before they locked the doors. If you've never been to Moe's, it's something like a Subway, but instead of a sandwich, you order a burrito or quesadilla. It's a lot like a Qdoba, too, but Moe's gives you chips!
