Have went 3 times. Ordered the DELUXE frito chili pie. I live 25 minutes away and made the special drive. I get home to find no sour cream so it was a dry frito pie. I call to ask and the lady says "you have to ask for it" I've never been told that and it has always came with it. I thought that's what DELUXE meant. The fried pickles were floppy and soft with no ranch or dipping sides. I also ordered a fried chicken sandwich, THAT ENDED UP BEING 2 CHICKEN STRIPS ON A BUN!!After calling and speaking with the night manager, Grace, again. I told her I was unsatisfied with the food and would like to return it to the restaurant completely untouched. She states its the owners' "Cole Lundeen" policy to offer no refunds or any reimbursement for food that is disgusting and untouched.UPDATE** Cole the owner was extremely helpful and offered a full refund. He did his best to make everything right and I ..... was.... willing to try again at this place of business but I now have been harassed by the night managers husband/ owners BROTHER through Facebook and had to block him and threaten law enforcement action if he didn't stop messaging me at 11p.m.... now the father of the night manager is attempting to add me and make contact with me through Facebook. This is the absolute most drama I've ever been involved with with a food place. Avoid if you want bad service and to be harassed by the entire family for asking for a refund

Had trouble reaching someone by phone at first, but when I did they were polite and took my order. It was done by the time they said and was delicious!! Tater tots were a little extra crispy but otherwise good.

I will never pay 3.00 for a ice cream cone. That is absolutely ridiculous when you can go to Dairy Queen and have real ice cream for cheaper. She is just a little girl for Gods sake. Vern would definitely not approve of this…

The burger patties are 1/2 the size of the bun. Very disappointing.

Great evening date night event.**Bring an external radio source so you can hear the movie. The movie is played through the radio. If you leave your car off and play the radio, you might have a dead battery at the end of the night. A mini portable radio with fm is perfect. If there's a kids' movie playing that night, chances are there might be a lot of kids making quite a bit of noise as well. Ear buds could come in handy if needed for temporary noise reduction. ****They advertise not to bring food, but pretty much everyone I saw brought their own popcorn, drinks, and candy.Overall, it's an enjoyable experience.
