Fred Chason's Grandsons originally opened in 1980
in Lumber Bridge by Fred Chason. Not only locals, but
people from all over the state would drive to Chason's
for their Southern-style country buffet. e restaurant
would fill up quickly and customers were oen waiting
for up to an hour in a line that would wrap around the
restaurant's wooden building. But the wait was worth
it. e food was good, really good. In 1997, the res-
taurant closed down aer a devastating fire. In 2005,
Fred's grandsons, Matt and Todd and Todd's wife
Sheryl, opened Fred Chason's Grandsons at 5339 Mar-
racco Drive in Hope Mills. ey continued cooking the
same items on the buffet as the original Chason's. eir
manager, Rony Hall states, "We have a great reputa-
tion. We are located right off I-95 and travelers from all
over make this place their stop to eat. We have become
a destination." What do they come for? Hall says,
"ey love our fried chicken, meatloaf, macaroni and
cheese and barbecue, but everything is good."
Hall explains, "e owners treat us like family. ey
create a good work environment. We love working
here." Because of this, the employees work hard to
make the restaurant a great place to eat. Fred Cha-
son's Grandsons is open seven days a week for lunch
and dinner and they serve breakfast Friday through
Sunday.
