A family owned restaurant dedicated to continuing the legacy of a beloved grandmother is celebrating its first week of being open in their new brick and mortar store located at 1269 E. Cumberland Street in Dunn. 

According to the restaurant’s website, the restaurant began as a food truck which traveled across the state to Raleigh, Angier, Clayton, Goldsboro, Smithfield, Fayetteville and Dunn and started by offering “The best burger you’ve ever tasted.” Now, the restaurant serves in honor of the owner’s grandmother and the businesses’ namesake Ruth Maynard from their first permanent location. 

Owners, family, friends and the Dunn community commemorated the opening of the new store front with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Dunn Area Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Aug. 1. The restaurant's owners James and Ayonna Barnes took to Facebook to thank the community for their support on Aug. 7. 

“Thank you Jesus! First week is in the Books. So thankful for the support and great feedback. Thank you Dunn of Commerce for a successful ribbon cutting. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and have been spreading the word  about us!! Appreciate you ALL!!! We are back open tomorrow Tuesday from 11am-7pm through Saturday. Come see what all the talk is about! Best Burger you will ever taste,” read the most recent Facebook post.
