“My company ordered in lunch for us on Friday. Pizzas from Shortstop. Words can not adequately describe how good these pizzas were. Our area is really devoid of ANY good pizza. THIS is the pizza I've been looking for since we moved to the area years ago! I will be ordering regularly from this place. We also plan to go for dinner one day very soon. If the service is slow, we will be fine with it, as good help is VERY hard to find today. Learn to be patient with people doing their best under difficult circumstances.“

“My son and I like to try small locally owned restaurants and he suggested this one. So glad he did. The food was so good, very tasty! And the service was excellent. Fast, courteous, attentive. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and a patty melt which came with chicken enchilada soup (the best we have ever had) and fries. We also ordered the potato bombs which were spicy and delicious. My son ordered the banana split waffle for dessert and the picture on the menu does not do it justice! He said it was just amazing. We will definitely be back! 5/5 stars!“

“Small Amish restaurant, but everything I've gotten so far has been the best I've eaten in a long while. Everything is made from scratch. There's a general store run by them too. It's right across the street. It has really good baked goods and fresh cheeses. Lots of bulk food too. The French toast is really stand out and even the breakfast sandwich was good. They are busy on weekends closed Sundays. But worth the wait.“

Eberhart-Petro Municipal Golf Course American •

“Course is nice and reasonably priced. Really have no complaints other than you have to pay at time of booking which is annoying if someone in your group cancels. Also it's somehow the hardest place in the area to get a tee time even though it's not the nicest. I think they have a ton of old guys as members that just hog the tee sheet.“

“Thisnis a very popular, older restaurant we had nit been to in many years- my hub never. The highlight of our meal was the onion rings. They were massive! Delicious, big, and came with any dipping sauce you desired. Our friend's meals looked good, large portions and good service. My meal was good, but I wish I would have chosen something different. I chose the spicy chicken and vegetables stir fry. The rice was a rice pilaf which in itself has its own flavor and for me, does not blend well with teriyaki or sweet chili sauce. White rice would have been my choice if I ordered it again. My hub got mac and cheese which looked good, but again, nothing special.
We would return again for the Onion rings and try something different, just to have said we have it a second shot.“

“Rudest bartender I've ever met. Dana called last call at 9:45pm on Friday. At 10:20 she walked through the bar and said you have 5 minutes to finish your drinks. She came back at 10:25 and tried to take everyone's glasses. Half our table wasn't finished yet and she became complacent when we would not give her our glasses. She told us we were no longer welcome at this BDubs location. Our server then came back to our table and said they don't close till 11:00 so if you would like to stay and finish your cocktails I would gladly wash your cups.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“
