This is a small Cafe that serves the best beef burgers. There is also a number of other items to choose from. Service is great and friendly. Nothing fancy but a nice place for lunch. And prices are very reasonable.
Paula's must be The destination for Maid Rite sandwiches. Everyone ordered them & is obviously the local favorite. Not being from the area, the entire experience was endearing, from standing under sign at the lunch counter to order & pay (cash only) then you select your table while your sandwich is made fresh & brought to you. Very interesting sandwich, similar to a Sloppy Joe with No sauce. Watching the regulars, you bus your own dishes to help keep overhead...

It's very well priced, and for that price, you walk out stuffed. We had the maid-rites, but we are planning to go back and try each and every item they have..
