About Hwy 55

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Kenney Moore opened the Inaugural Hwy55 restaurant in 1991 in a small-town North Carolina mall. Initially named Andy’s Cheesesteaks & Cheeseburgers, Kenney started by personally cooking each burger in view of hungry customers. This allowed him to personally greet and engage with every patron and showcase his dedication to quality. This concept embodied the essence of a true restaurant experience, Where neighbors could come together over delicious food and exceptional service. Hwy55’s mission remains true to Kenney’s original vision: to provide genuine Hospitality and Fresh, Flavorful Cuisine to anyone seeking an Authentic, Communal Dining experience.
