“Stop as a stranger and leave as a friend. This place is amazing.”
That’s just one complimentary comment on the 302 Carry Out Facebook from a new customer. And, comments like that one, plus “the thrill of the grill,” (aka porkyburgers), makes the carryout one of the most popular Ada businesses.
So much so that it was nominated and selected as the 2018 Ada Area Chamber of Commerce outstanding business of the year. The business of the year announcement was made during the chamber annual dinner meeting on Feb. 19 at Community Health Professionals.
