They are as much a part of Americana as apple pie and baseball -- Andy the Sheriff, Barnie, Aunt Bee, Opie, Gomer, Floyd the Barber, Otis -- we know them all, those fine citizens of Mayberry.
Maybe we can't turn the clock back and go visit Mayberry, but if you're on the town square in Danville, you can stop in at the Mayberry Cafe. The theme is the product of co-Owner Brad Born's love affair with the classic 1960s television series.
This hometown cafe is decorated with all types of photos and memorabilia from the Andy Griffith Show. The food is home-cooked good, and the staff makes you feel like sweet Thelma Lou is waiting on you herself.
So next time you're passing through Danville, or you just want to try something different, check it out.
One suggestion for the menu though. They need to add a new beverage -- the "Ernest Tea"
