Stepping into this place feels like a trip back in time—pure nostalgia from the moment you walk in. The food itself was decent, maybe slightly above average. The fish came as a frozen square, and the burgers seemed like standard frozen patties. But the crinkle-cut fries were surprisingly good—crispy, clean, and not greasy at all. The real star here, though, is the root beer. It’s absolutely phenomenal—rich, smooth, and worth the visit all on its own. Come for the memories,...
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.
