If ur allergic to tomatoes and order ur food without it. Then u take it back to them. They proceed to take tomatoes off and give it back to me. What in the heck kind of place is that. If I didn’t watch them cause I assumed, I would be in the hospital right now. I will never come back here. I never previously had a problem. I’m assuming it’s the owners

Never disappoints.
Friendly employees, best malts and shakes around. Always open when you want them to be. Burgers aren’t the best but the fries and excellent and the prices are good.

Edit: the 1/4 burgers are pretty decent actually!

This place is terrible I get home to find out all the food is made wrong or forgot items. There is no number to call to reach anyone to get any service….

SERIOUSLY IN NEED OF A DEEP CLEANING, INSIDE AND OUT.
Inside is just all around gross. Door, floor, windows, walls, tables and seats... and flies... all gross.

If this place was clean, I would go often. They old drive in style is very cute, especially for a quick, late date night desert on the tailgate of your boyfriends truck... ice-cream and fries while snuggling and looking at the stars.

Chocolate dipped ice-cream cones are tasty, but NOT when they dump them UPSIDE DOWN in a cup, making all the chocolate stick to the cup.

Employees could be better and more accommodating to there customers. Also didn't like the fact he was handling my cash with gloves on and then touching food.
