    Great family dining

    The food was great and our waitress was very attentive! We would definitely come back. The kids enjoyed the chicken strips and garbage fries.

    Quaint, Homey Burger Shop

    I have fond memories of this quaint, old-style burger joint. The daily special of a buffalo burger and fries hit the spot. Large portions served in a plastic basket. Very filling. Glad I had a chance to enjoy them. It's fun looking at their menu.

    Love to eat here
