10/10 recommend loved the history, the food was amazing and loved the welcoming atmosphere!
We stopped by here today to show our kids the Cars and gas station. Our (almost 2 year old) son is obsessed with cars! He had so much fun. I below they were closed but just happened to be there when we stopped by and they STILL ran inside and got my kids some stickers and stamps to take home. Will definitely be back when they are open!
Very friendly owners, small but tasty menu items. Very cool story about the place and its connection/inspiration to the movie Cars!

The place is very clean, and while some were excited to try the food, others found it a bit disappointing, mentioning that everything was greasy and lacked seasoning. Despite this, the restaurant is considered cute and charming, making it a worthwhile detour. Many guests appreciated speaking to the owner and learning about the history of the building and its ties to the Disney PIXAR movie Cars. They look forward to returning to explore the town more thoroughly during daylight hours, highlighting the enjoyable experience overall.
