“10/10 - we came last night, had never been. Cutest little place, kindest wait staff, everyone was helpful! The food was SO good. We had the spin dip, delish. Also had hot ham + cheese w/ onion rings, delish. My boyfriend had the French dip w/ fries, said it was delish as well. I gave some left over onion rings to my mama to have today for lunch & she’s ready to make a trip up for dinner. I will drive the 30 minutes for this food & service often!!“
