As a local, it kills me to leave such a low review for a restaurant that holds so many great memories.The burgers still taste great. The service is HORRIBLE. Cashiers clearly don’t enjoy their jobs, give attitude, and seem to care more about playing on their phones than doing anything else. 4 out of 5 times they either forget a burger or give us the wrong order completely. One cashier outright lied and said they don’t carry a soda brand we asked for when they clearly do, and one of the cooks had to come around and get the drink for us since the girl apparently was refusing to serve us.I see responses to similar reviews encouraging customers to notify the counter of any issues with the order. That’s a tall ask when the girls at the counter pretty much just roll their eyes at you when you try to order at the window or ask to pay for a side of ranch at the pickup counter. It’s just sad to see such a great place get run into the ground by poor attitudes and low morale.

Cheeseburgers are OK, nothing special at all. The chocolate shake was good.The long lines are due to tourists and campers at the huge campground, not from returning locals. So don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a “hot spot” to eat at.

Pineapple shake was the bomb

Tossed the cheap frozen Pollock they serve for fish & chips. For the price they charge it should be better. I wasn't the only one to puke either! Never again!!! Still burping it up hours later. Greased ? if you can't do it right don't do it at all.

Great old school, no frills spot for a beach lunch or dinner. Solid burger and onion rings - hasn't disappointed for decades.Cash only though, so be prepared.

Fries are good; really, really bad clam chowder, and unfriendly girls at the counter.

The clam chowder was very disappointing. The two bites that were in the bread bowl tasted good. Proportion of bowl to chowder was 95/5. Also, just an FYI for the chicken strips: they’re pressed, like McDonald’s. Not real strips. The burger, fries and onion rings are consistently good. So stick with the basics and you’re good to go.I(t was quite cold outside, so I didn’t inspect the food before I took it home…otherwise I would have taken the bowl back)

Heard this was the "SPOT" for a great burger. It was great. I ordered chili cheese fries too. Amazing. Was in town for a little vacation and this place was recommended. Easy pick up. Cash only. Local hangout. Will definitely return.
