Restaurant Review # next one after the last one

The White Swan

I like that name, kinda elegant isn't it, sorta like the White Swan Gas Station, Quick Pick, BBQ & Fried Chicken Restaurant where Patt and I had lunch today in Johnston County, just east of Benson -- (if you are in the area).(As Patt and I were being on the way to the beach-- this was not a destination place for lunch and probably will not become one) Note the drive through window there just beside the sign.

 I tried to do a bit of panorama here to give you a sense of scope here with five double pump islands for Shell gas and a means to get to the Quick PIck for lotto tickets or a six pack of beer or slim jims in the shade or out of the rain is possible.

 The entrance to the restaurant is not sheltered however.  But the tables are pre-set with condiments and napkins.

 The decor is .., well, the decor is..... laminate.  Yeah, laminate.  (side note, white haired guy here in the foreground and I were the only two men in the place that forgot to wear our hats into the White Swan.  It must have been "Hat Day" and we missed the memo.

 Patt and I lucked into a table next to the isle with the candy and next to the coolers in the quick pick.

We had the chicken and BBQ.  The hush puppies were quite good too, but I suspect you probably knew that and they came to the table first and without being ordered -- you also probably knew that too.

This is after all an eastern NC BBQ restaurant that also happens to sell a little gas, a few lotto tickets and some candy.
