The place isn't perfect, but if you're patient you can get some of the best burgers and dogs, fries and drink portions I've had in a long time! I recommend a Smash Burger.

We waited a while to get service, the speakers are broken. But the young man working today did his best to keep things flowing. We got a wrong drink. Without us acknowledging it he realized it and fixed it right away. All of our food was correct, warm and good. I think the facility needs a little love. That would help everyone.

March 2025

The drive-through intercom was not working, so the line was crazy long, and the employees were dealing with a lot of pissed off people. Yet they handled each order very professionally and got everyone through the line as efficiently as possible. I think they really did a great job considering the circumstances. Honestly felt bad that so many customers seemed so angry at them for something they had no control over.
