Traveling thru and stopped for lunch at this long-time place to eat. They were closing early on Monday in 15 min but we were able to order. We had pulled pork sandwiches and fries and they were good. There is eating inside and out. An older local place where u order at the counter which is why I said 3 stars for service and atmosphere. I would return to eat if lived here.

Awesome to be still in business. I drove 50 minutes to try out . Food tasted great, prices were modest to comparative businesses, and employees were super nice. Will be consistent stop for me , when looking for a road trip. Had Shake, double Chef Burger, and wife and I split a corn dog.

The chef is a staple in Cleveland, and for good reason! The friendly staff make you feel like family and the food is great! The handpies are to die for. My personal breakfast favorite is the chicken biscuits and gravy. If you like hot slaw this is the place to grab some of that too!
