A true gem! Everytime we go the food has been amazing. And the desserts just the same. Always get the cheeseburger but maybe one day I'll try something else (lol). During our most recent visit it was a bit hectic and crowded. In past visits we have been seated or told to pick a spot. This visit we weren't acknowledged. Upon asking the lady at the counter she rudely told us yea you seat yourself. Luckily the waitress and waitor we had changed the mood and experience.

If you are in the area and want a good burger and I mean a good burger, then this is the place to come. I'm sure their other food options are just as good but since I'm mostly a hamburger person, that's all I order. They also have daily specials that offer more than just burgers.

First time here, we had a delicious lunch! The chicken taco soup was really good. Also tried the grilled ham and Nick which was good, although I love me a good old fashioned hot ham and cheese, the addition of grilled onions and flavored mayo wasn't my favorite. We will definitely goback and try other entrees.
