Service was a little slow at first but they were extremely busy. The bacon double meat cheeseburger basket is what I ordered. I added grilled onions, ketchup and mayo. It was seriously the best melt in your mouth cheeseburger I ever ate! My son got a cheese pizza and said it was in his top 10 favorite. Very cheesy! Definitely will be returning! Too full to try the dessert we got but I’m sure it’s just as amazing!

Friendly service! Normally I go inside today with the beautiful weather we decided to order outside. It was a nice experience and good food for good price!

I lived this place. My waiter was really friendly and patient with me as took a lil time going over the menu for my first visit. The food didn't take too long to come out. They have a pretty big menu and I just ended up getting a cheeseburger basket. The lemonade was very delicious as well. The food was so tasty I went back the next day for my second visit.

A fantastic local restaurant. The service was absolutely on point and the food was delicious. They have a very decent sized menu and it's fast. Will definitely be going back. And you should if you haven't yet.Still going there a year later and it's still just as awesome as the first day

I have to give this place 5s for what it is. We drove up a lady came out to the car gave us a menu, came back took our order, then brought us our food. I Loved it. I didn’t have to get out of the car, and it wasn’t a drive up window. My wife ordered a chicken platter. There was much more chicken than you could want 2-3 meals of chicken for her. My Special burger was also 2 meals (for me anyway).Luckily they cut it in half. Ate other half for dinner. Onion rings were great! Only negative - Her salad was limp and white.Quality was what you would expect, (but better than fast food) the portions were large and well priced.We also had 2 lemonades, add tip for total 25.89

Before the interstate system this place would have been a truck stop that turned into a drive in. Hard working family of people continuing a tradition. I'll stop by again.

After visiting one of the world’s largest Dollar Tree stores, we worked up an appetite and decided to stop at this local gem. They did not disappoint at all. I got the double cheeseburger special and shut the front door! It was juicy and delicious to be so thin. We had 5 people in the car and didn’t spend 50.00 and we had drinks and milkshakes. They definitely deliver the bang for your buck. Definitely worth the visit and we will be back!
