We went out of our way to come here and nowhere on the website does it say cash only. That should be the first thing the website says. A huge disappointment and complete waste of time.

Response to Owner: Of course you have a website. It's literally connected to your Google business account where this review is sitting right now. And it has the location of your business on the website so it's not someone else's. And I'm not interested in paying an ATM fee because you aren't alerting people to the fact that you're cash only. You manage to accept Doordash orders, a company that charges businesses huge fees, but you can't manage to have a Square for card payments. That's crazy to me.

The fries were fine, the bacon cheeseburger was good, and the root beer was excellent! I loved the vibe!

Great little drive in, fair prices. Waitress was very friendly. Car hops are outside, don't even have to get out of the car.

Jessica our server was very nice. I didn't care for the off-putting taste of the Root beer. Maybe because it is homemade? Anticipated more fizz. I will be a frequent customer so I can try their amazing menu choices. Very nostalgic vibe for a drive- in diner. Reasonable prices as well. Cheaper than McD's & way better quality.

Food was hot and tasted great. General all American fried foods and hamburgers. Chili cheese dog was good but smaller than expected. Fries could have used salt. Very friendly staff and service was timely.

Overpriced blah food. No music playing, no window trays. Order was taken wrong initially, and they only take cash or check.
