“Overall a good experience. Clean restrooms, right off the interstate, and fast service(and they were busy!). The prices are more than I want to pay. I would definitely pick McDonald's food and prices over Culver's. I'd be glad to go to DQ over Culvers because the food is so much better. Probably won't be back for a while, and I won't stop in if I can wait until the next McDonald's, but it's about the only fast food option right off the interstate. All said, the service was wonderful. The food could be better for the money.“

Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items.
