Such a great place! Cheesecake Tuesday is our weekly highlight! The food is also delicious and great portions as well, menu is priced very well! She can get busy sometimes but handles it with grace and we’ve always been pleased, never waited too long! This place is a go-to for sure!

Nice little place with good food but currently understaffed so be prepared to wait if you arrive at a busy time. However, worth the wait if you have the time.

I’ve eaten here previously, and it was always a good experience. However, I recently recommended this place to a friend who took his coworker for a business lunch. They ended up waiting over an hour for their food, because the kitchen lost their order. No attempt at amends was made. I was embarrassed for making the recommendation, but certain it was just a rough day. We decided to try the restaurant again as a family. We waited nearly 1.5 hours for 2 normal size hotdogs, a burger, 2 chicken tenders and sides — with 2 young, very hungry toddlers. While a wait at dinner is to be expected anywhere, waiting nearly 1.5 hours is ridiculous for basic American fare. No one updated us on what was taking so long, no one apologized. And when we finally did receive our food, it was wrong. The burger was very undercooked, and the hot dog toppings were incorrect (cue MORE waiting). We will not be returning, and will no longer be recommending this establishment to others. How unfortunate, because in the past when the service was good and the employees were friendly, it really was an enjoyable dining experience.

If you know your customers will have a longer than average wait time, give them the courtesy of letting them know up front.

The BEST Fried Green Tomatoes! Delicious food for a more than reasonable price for the amount you get. Giant size hot dogs and hamburgers! This place is laid back and the staff is so friendly! Thank yall for the southern hospitality!! We will keep coming back and telling others about our experience.

I’ll be very honest! I was super excited to try this place out. My very first time.
I order just a cheeseburger with lettuce and mayo ONLY.
My whole family is served their food while I wait there on one cheeseburger. Other tables are getting their entire order while I’m still waiting on ONE CHEESEBURGER.
Out comes my burger and it has everything on it. (Onions, ketchup, mustard, lettuce)
I bring my burger up there and tell them this is no correct. The lady proceeded to turn around, place my food on a table behind her and TOOK HER BARE HANDS AND REMOVED THE ONION from my burger and said this is the best I can do.
I said “absolutely not, I just paid almost $40 for family’s dinner. I need a new top bun”
She went in the back and got me a new bun. Absolutely horrible customer service. Rude girls working up front. Completely absolutely unacceptable and disgusting to put her hand on my burger.

Food has been great for years. They must have new ownership because the service was awful on Wednesday. Mrs A personality with liberal type actions. Won’t go back.

Good, but the food tastes like..... Old oil and vinegar? Everything has a weird vinegary aftertaste (not vinegar)

First time at the traveling hobo, and it was absolutely delicious! We had fried pickles, the buffalo chicken po boy, and the south western salad. Based on the way all of our food tasted, I bet the rest of the menu is just as good! Everything was quick coming out of the kitchen and the service was great! 10/10

We have eaten here many times and every time before they have been able to accommodate a shellfish allergy but the lady at the register just didn't care enough to take the time to have them try something in a separate pan for someone with a shellfish allergy
