This isn't your run-of-the-mill diner or some rundown greasy spoon joint. HWY 55 is a blast from the past with a modern twist, taking you on a journey to the good old days of classic American diners.

The story of HWY 55 begins in a small North Carolina town in 1991. Kenney Moore opened Andy's Cheesesteaks & Cheeseburgers in a mall, where he cooked every burger from morning until dark. Because he couldn't afford a traditional kitchen, he cooked in plain sight of customers.

But this simple start taught Kenney something: when you're at an open grill, you can greet every customer. 

In time, Kenney would launch Hwy 55, applying the life lesson he learned at Andy's to every franchise. 

Kenney knew that chatting with counter guests while carefully preparing meals reflected his values of people bonding over excellent service and tasty food.
