The staff doesn’t really want to be there and it shows. They’re out of half the things you asked for, no matter what day/time you go. It’s like if it’s going to take any effort to make it, they say “sorry, we’re out.”
Over- priced, half a$$ prepared meals, can’t believe they’re still opened.

Great experience. Food was tasty and the service was excellent. We will be back!
Parking: Several pull in slots on the north and south sides as well as a drive-through lane that is best entered on the north side, then wrap around the back to the south side.

Great, good food great service
After getting our food, the server told us she was sick. They also gave my brother a medium fry instead of the large he ordered with his meal. When we complained, she said the only difference is the size of the fry, and left. I've never seen anything like that from the service industry before.

My dad was telling me about this place and said he used to eat here in the 1960's. I stopped and we ate the Halibut basket. The fries were yummy and we got to meet Heather, very very nice and awesome lady. It was a pleasure chatting with you and thanks for letting us know about the history. The food was soo good and thank you for the ice cream. My dad looked like a kid again being there and I thought that was awesome.

Used to live their burgers, now they are comparable to any other run of the mill fast food burger. They do have delicious tots and fry sauce though!

I have no idea where all these positive reviews are coming from. You don't need to have a background working fast food like I do to recognize when you've been given food that has been sitting under a heat lamp far longer than is legally allowed. I ordered a pastrami burger and a chicken sandwich with pastrami on it, chicken rings and fries. The chicken rings were so old and tough and dry that I really should have just gone back and shouted at the staff about that only. That was disgusting, and how dare you tell me that you're going to cook me fresh food at noon when you've got nobody there except for me and then hand me old food that you made 2 hours ago? My pastrami Burger was a soggy mess and the bun was disintegrating. That's how old it was. It wasn't even warm. The same goes for my chicken sandwich. Both were tasteless and old, and cold. The fries were maybe hot but they were hot like they had been under a heat lamp for at least a half hour. Not only that but there was supposed to be pastrami on my chicken sandwich but the guy at the drive-thru just was not listening. I understand that it's Saturday morning and maybe you want to be somewhere else, but at least do your job. I can't believe that a portion of the money that I paid today goes to paying him to barely work there. This was at noon on Saturday September 28th. I don't know what happened to the quality of this place, a year ago it was a great place to stop for something quick and cheap. But now it's just a nightmare. I can't believe that this store is still in business, the amount of health code violations that I was handed this morning in a brown paper bag blows my mind. At the time of writing this I don't know who to call to report yes, but believe me when I say that I will be finding out who to call to report these health code violations. This was disgusting, and it should have never made it past the drive-thru window. This is basic stuff, I do not understand the notion that working in a Drive-Thru is hard, especially because I did it all throughout my teen years. All you do is listen to what the person wants, put it into the cash register and then go on with the rest of your day. Yet the staff at this location make it seem like it's rocket science and they've only graduated high school so how are they supposed to be able to do that kind of math? Newsflash, it's not that hard, and literally anybody could work in a Drive-Thru and do well if they had even the most basic work ethic. I would be humiliated if I worked on the crew that works today.

Burger ACTUALLY tasted like meat! Seems rare these days. Juicy, and not over cooked. My only gripe is the keylime shake is not what keylime is actually like, but I feel like that's on me. Service and atmosphere were great.

Older restaurant but clean. Great service. Good food. Offer a grilled cheese as a kids meal option.
Vegetarian options: Very few veg options. Offer a kids grilled cheese.

Ok, so I love the mushroom burger. Very yummy. Have to ask for them to do well done or I get a raw center. No thank you. But the people were great and very kind.

Kids and adults both had a great time. Love that they're open late for our sometimes crazy schedules.

The food is fine , they didn’t have ice so we got our drinks without it, and we asked for a refill but they actually don’t do refills.
