We wanted to try something a little different since we visit this town quite often and always eat at the same locations. We decided to try this restaurant today for dinner. Lindsay was our server. I had the Malibu chicken burger without the bun the chicken was a tad dry, but other than that it was delicious, my daughter had the bacon and cheese burger meal and the patty was flavored and so delicious. We liked their french fries. We will definitely try this place again as I would love to try them for breakfast next time.Parking: They have a very small parking lot on the side of the building, as well as street parkingKid-friendliness: Yes, kids are allowed here. They do have a kids menu.

Our breakfast was wonderful. The pancakes were light and fluffy and the eggs cooked perfectly. Nicole is a great waitress, so attentive and responsive. Great place for breakfast.

Super bad place, we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food, my girls were too hungry, the customers who arrived after us finished eating and in the end they told us that we had to wait another 10 more minutes… with a super bad attitude we had I had to go because the girls could no longer wait with their hunger… I don't recommend it to anyone.

Slimy undercooked noodle-like fries, and food is terribly lacking flavor.

Sure fun spot! Came in the off season and the staff was prompt and food was pretty good! Big menu and our server and the host were so kind. Fair prices and clean facilities. Would definitely recommend!

These guys are WAY too proud of their food for the price they’re asking. It tasted like a gas station burger at best and charged nearly $18 for it. I’m fairly positive most of it was frozen food that was just heated up in the back as well. ? if I had known that, I would have saved my money and gone to Wendy’s. I enjoy their burgers more anyway. And I hope you like burgers because that’s about half the menu with not much variety or options. We actually saw a couple sit, take a look st the menu, and leave because it was so disappointing and I wished we would have done the same.Service was also so slow. I’m pretty sure they had one waitress, one hostess, and one cook for the entire restaurant. We waited over an hour to eat and the restaurant didn’t have a wait line and really didn’t seem that busy.The only reason this wasn’t a one star review was because our waitress was extremely nice and despite the service being so slow she did make sure our drinks were filled and we got everything we asked for (besides the food) in a quick manner.We won’t be returning and won’t be recommending this place to anyone.

Great service, delicious food!You've got to try the fried/battered grilled cheese.Update 1/2024; food was decent, service was subpar but I definitely could have done without the skunky pot smell on the waitstaff while eating my dinner. Blegh!
