The cover of this year’s Best of Lee County section features Myung Stewart of Scoops, winner of this year’s “Best of Lee County� for hot dogs.

The cover photo was taken by Ashley Garner.

ee County is fortunate to have great food, great services and great shopping. In addition, there also are outstanding individuals whose hard work and dedication to their jobs help to make this such a great place to live.

It is with pleasure that The Herald once again presents the Best of Lee County — a tradition since 2003. We are thankful that so many of you, our loyal readers, R.V. Hight have taken the time to vote for the best of the best.

What is most apparent is that in many of the categories, there were numerous nominees. That was especially true in the people categories. That says a lot as to the quality of businesses and individuals that serve our community.

We truly appreciate your suggestions

Best Sub Subway

Best Restaurant: Dairy Bar

Want to eat fresh? There’s no better way than Subway. With fresh-baked bread and custommade sandwiches made in 32,470 restaurants in 91 countries, it’s easy to understand. That popularity is the reason why Subway was once again winner of the Best Sub category.

Best Steak Davison’s Steaks Choice beef cut to your specifications and made to your taste — that’s the specialty at Davison’s Steaks.

Best Ribs Bud’s BBQ

Rick and Frankie Quinn have the Best of Lee’s Best Restaurant — the Fairview Dairy Bar.

Address: 109 Carbonton Road • Phone: 775-5721 Runners-Up: Cracker Barrel • Bella’s • Davison’s Steaks

Best Southern Cooking Cracker Barrel Whether it’s breakfast you’re craving or one of the many lunch/ dinner menu items, complete with those country-style vegetables, the food at one of Sanford’s newest restaurants is mighty fine eating.

Just sitting on the front porch and enjoying the rocking chairs is like a visit to grandma’s house.

Best Seafood Bay Breeze OK, so we’re not on the coast — but Bay Breeze makes it feel that way. This restaurant has won “Best Seafood” in the Best of Lee competition every year since 2003. It’s a restaurant with quality, fresh seafood and great service.

Address: 1385 N. Horner Blvd.

Phone: 708-6911 Runners-Up: Tony’s Seafood • Ron’s Barn • Snappy’s Seafood

Just a short drive from Sanford, in the Cumnock community, is a gem of a restaurant. Bud’s BBQ may not have the largest of locations, but its ribs — and other food, as well — are top quality and mighty good.

4 / Saturday, March 27, 2010 / The Sanford Herald BEST OF FOOD Best Mexican San Felipe

There are many pretenders, but nothing matches the taste and experience at San Felipe.

Once again, it’s the winner in this category. This menu offers simply appetizing items (check out the chimichangas). The chips and salsa are best around, and that’s just a grand introduction to a menu with lots of variety.

Addresses and Phone Numbers: 1706 S. Horner Blvd. (777-2741) and 2234 Jefferson Davis Highway (718-0086) Runners-Up: Viva Villa • La Cabana • Taco Bell

Best Fast Food, Hamburger and Milkshake Cookout

Best Biscuits & Sweet Tea Bojangles

Best Business Lunch & Desserts: Mrs. Lacy’s

Biscuits and sweet tea are two Southern traditions that go well together. It’s no wonder that the winner obviously excels in both categories. Bojangles also is known for its fried chicken and fixins’, but we don’t know of a better way to start the day than with a ham biscuit and tea.

Address: 733 S. Horner Blvd.

Phone: 776-7613 Biscuits Runners-up: Hardee’s • Landmark • Mrs. Wenger’s Sweet Tea Runners-up: McDonalds • Dairy Bar • Mrs. Lacy’s

Best BBQ Ron’s Barn

Faye Schulz of Mrs. Lacy’s has a delightful place for a business lunch.

Cookout is a Triple Crown winner — voted the area’s best fast food, best hamburger and best milkshakes. Tasty and made to order, unlike many “drive-thru� joints.

Cookout’s burgers are juicy and delicious — and the milkshakes are a must-have in just about any flavor you want. Cookout is more than just burgers and shakes, but if that’s what you’re craving, look no further.

Address: 1906 S. Horner Blvd.

Hey, it’s North Carolina — so we have great BBQ. This is one of the Best of Lee’s most competitive categories — and, once again, Ron’s Barn was the No. 1 choice for barbecue.

Address: 3122 S. Horner Blvd.

Phone: 774-8143 Runners-Up: Bud’s BBQ • Smithfield’s • Jackson Bros.

With its charm and care for customers, Mrs. Lacy’s Magnolia House & Tea Room is a delightful place for a business lunch — or a casual lunch. The food is fresh, delightful and delicious. Just make sure to leave room for dessert. You will not be disappointed.

Address: 405 Carthage St. Phone: 777-6787 Business Lunch Runners-Up: CafÊ 121 • Dairy Bar • Ruby Tuesday’s Dessert Runners-Up: CafÊ 121 • Fairview Dairy Bar • Bella • Mrs. Wenger’s

Best Coffee Java Express Java Express has a great hometown feel with a very relaxed environment and good sandwiches.

But best of all, the coffee is really, really good — and reasonably priced.

Address: 120 S. Moore St. Phone: 777-5282 Runners-Up: McDonald’s • Coffee Wine & Bar • Mrs Wenger’s

Best Bakery Sandra’s Bakery

Best Hot Dog Scoops Scoops was the winner in this newest Best of Lee category. Is there anything better than a good ol’ hot dog with all the fixins?

Address: 815 Wicker St. Phone: 774-8872 Runners-Up: Cookout • Yarborough’s • Big T’s

Sandra’s Bakery may be the sweetest business on Wicker Street, with its delicious doughnuts and other delightful confections that bring joy to our senses and to our stomachs.

Best Asian Food Yamato’s

Best Italian & Pizza: Elizabeth’s

Yamato Japanese Steak & Seafood House is a repeat winner in this category. Judging by the usually-full parking lot, this is a most popular restaurant. And if you’re a fan of sushi, you may want to put Yamato’s on your “must go� list. Fresh and generous portions are always satisfying!

Address: 2610 S. Horner Blvd.

Phone: 777-5222 Runners-Up: Hunan’s • Oriental Palace • King China

Best All You Can Eat Buffet Golden Corral Golden Corral has once again won this category — and for good reason. Its lunch and dinner buffet is not only impressive, it’s umm-m good. There’s plenty of selection, so that even the pickiest of eaters will find something they’ll like. And, don’t forget the salad bar and dessert bar are part of the buffet.

Address: 2618 S. Horner Blvd.

Phone: 775-3295 Runners-Up: Ron’s Barn • King Chinese Buffet • Panda Garden

Mike Materese and Roy Esposita stand proudly in front of the new Elizabeth’s at Riverbirch Corner.

Although Elizabeth’s has moved to a Riverbirch Corner location just

a short distance away from its former spot, this Italian eatery continues to serve memorable Italian and pizza dishes that have become a favorite of Central Carolinians. The pasta dishes are tasty — and the pizzas are mighty good.
