First timers! Super impressed with how clean it was right off the bat, and the service was awesome. Knew what she was doing! And the food was delish. Great treat. Much better than going down the road to McDonald's, want fries and a burger? Come here instead.

Stopped here for supper while vacationing in brudenell. Staff came and greeted us at our car within minutes of us pulling in. She was courteous friendly and even took the time to give us recommendations of things to do while vacationing on the island. Food was generic but was exactly what was expected from a old school diner experience. Definitely would recommend and will be back next time im on the island.

Love that they come to the car to take your order and then bring you your food to you. Very retro! Fun. Deliscious hamburgers, chicken burgers and fries. We missed the bourbon burger you used to serve! It was fantastic! We travelled from NS hoping to have them, as we so enjoyed them 2 years ago.

First time going. Ordered a bacon cheese burger. Friendly, young girl at the counter. Miserable older lady next to her. Paid $11. No sides. The bun was horrible. Teenie. The patty was as thin as a piece of paper (cold cut thickness). Half a tiny slice of soggy bacon & tomato was pale and tasteless. Threw it out. My gawd. No wonder McDonalds had a huge lineup. Waste of hard earned money.

Food & service very good as always. A tad costly for a drivein restaurant. But we always treat ourselves at least a couple of times a year

Had fries with the works , store bought crinkle cut fries, tasteless greasy gravy . No thanks at least Wendy's is consistent. Never again

Local greasy spoon with bigger portions than fast food.

Why would you eat at McDonald's or Wendy's when you can get your quick meal at the dine in? Same price, WAY bigger portions, and locally owned.
We come here when we're hungry for a burger, you should too.

It is not open on Tuesdays, don’t waste a drive.

Gone way down hill. Awful customer service. Perhaps getting employees who aren't ready to kill themselves to work the front would encourage more patronage. At least the fried clams were the same. Actually incredibly shameful to have those people taking orders. Reconsider their employment .

I know things have gone up in price but over $33 plus tip is ridiculous for three small fries and gravy plus a kids meal. The waitress was surly too. Scowled when we pulled in. No personality at all. Felt like it was a huge bother to get our order. After coming here for decades I'm finally done.

I was surprised when I walked in to see a beautiful diner. I ordered and shortly after my cheeseburger, fries with gravy and a little coleslaw arrived. It was really good, I could taste the cheeseburger, all the toppings, the fries were crisp and a couple of bites of coleslaw.... 5 out of 5 for a great basic cheeseburger combo that tasted so good.
