The small town on the southeastern tip of the state sat right near the Florida state line. A few years prior, the town had been selected to house the Thiokol Chemical Corporation plant, which would bring an ample amount of jobs to the region as the company had been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army to develop trip flares for the Vietnam War.

There's the chicken finger sandwich and the buffalo chicken wrap, and sides such as coleslaw, potato salad, fries and toast. But the short menu attracts long lines of customers to the restaurant’s strip-mall storefront location in Evans. More details: https://bit.ly/3ZrLcwV
