“ AMAZING LITTLE RESTAURANT WITH WONDERFUL FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, AND NICE ATMOSPHERE!!! This is a FIRST visit to this little hidden gem, but definitely WON'T be our last!!! We're from just over the line in North Carolina, but often shop in Danville and this restaurant is a bit of a drive away from ALL of the major shopping areas in the city, but DEFINITELY worth the drive!! I swear the CRISPY HOMEMADE ONION RINGS alone are worth the drive!!They greet you from the time you walk in the door, which is really welcoming! Their food is DELICIOUS and VERY reasonably priced!! It's decorated with various metal license plates and signs!! The food service workers are lined up and working with their own little system which makes their service VERY QUICK from order to serving, which is fascinating to watch! They have a nice VARIETY of food which you can see by the menu in my pictures! They even have soft serve ice cream & homemade milkshakes! If you're in or around the Danville, Virginia area and looking for a great eatery, do yourself a favor and try Mama Possums!!! YOU'RE WELCOME!!! ”
“ I love this place! We split the 2 hot dog with fries and a drink and it's just 6.99! And the dogs were delicious! I got a chili, cheese, & slaw on mine. So good. Afterwards we each got a small cone, which is huge for just over 2 each I think. The whole bill for two was 12.10. Now that's a bargain! The place was packed inside and so was the drive thru. ”
“ Love this place! They have fantastic burgers AND dogs. If you like cole slaw, try theirs- it's delicious. They are always busy but the service is always top-notch. ”
“ Good food, quick service, and friendly staff. I was done with my meal faster than I could get a drink in most other places. ”
“ First time eating here and it was amazing . We got the cheeseburger and hamburger meals. The meal was really filling! Everything tasted amazing thank you ! ”
“ This place was awesome and the service was phenomenal. I used to go to the one on Arnett but after they changed cooks the food and service hasn't been the same. If it wasn't for the older lady (sorry I don't know her name but she's just the sweetest) we wouldn't have gone as many times as we did. I would recommend this one to anyone!! ”
“ This was our first time here and it was great! The customer service was awesome. You really don’t find that in the fast food industry ever and it was just a really nice experience and we will be frequent. Thank you! ”
