All of our food was amazing!! The staff are so sweet and quick to seat you and get your order taken. The atmosphere is top notch. We will definitely be visiting again soon. 🤩

Thank you Tanner’s for a great after-church lunch. ♥️

Stopped in once again after the transition to the new owners. Same look and feel but the service was off the scale! Our waitress (did not catch her name long black hair) was awesome. Friendly as the day is long and we could barely keep up with her on the refills. Food was good as always with fresh vegetables. We will be back to try other items.

Great burgers and fries. Very cute historical place to visit. We came on a whim while just driving. Great restaurant and lovely friendly staff.
