As you are probably aware, many Gaston County restaurants are now take out only, but many are increasing sanitation and other measures and staying open. If you are not going out to eat, take out is a great option, and almost all restaurants offer it. If we have to stay in, it's at least nice to change up the menu a little! Be sure to support your hometown restaurants!
