Known for its delicious milkshakes and famous hot wieners, the restaurant offers tasty meals with generous portions. The fries are praised for their soft and crisp texture, while the chicken could be more evenly cooked. Although the hot wiener was not as hot as expected, it delivered a delightful Americana taste.

The menu remains the same, offering a nostalgic experience for those who grew up visiting the place.

Recent reviews mention that while the food is generally fresh and well-prepared, some customers found the hot dogs to be dry and with a weird texture, suggesting a possible change in supplier. Several reviews highlight the unique style of hot dogs, sliced in half, grilled with a good “char” and a satisfying snap, reminiscent of Polish sausage. The hot dogs are very meaty and not bland, with finely diced onions and homemade relish that is highly praised. The atmosphere is very much like a classic diner, with a nostalgic feel that transports guests to a different era, whether it’s 1956 or 1978. The building is historic, with plenty of family photos on the walls, and the service is excellent and friendly. The restaurant is clean, though some suggest the bathrooms could be improved. Street parking is easily available within close walking distance. Overall, the place is a great stop for those seeking a unique, fun, and nostalgic dining experience in downtown Hanover.
