That’s not to say the café hasn’t experienced any changes over the years. For starters, it’s expanded its menu to include beef burgers, fries, hot dogs, sandwiches, and other quick eats.

From a small roadside stop to one of Food Network’s “top places to eat,” White Trolley Café has definitely achieved slug-cess! (Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves.)
