I love that they have a vegan section on their menu. I wanted everything on it, but had to limit myself to one hot dog or hamburger. I finally chose the Fake House hotdog and got a side of baked beans and vegan coleslaw.

I’ve been coming here for the last five years and was always great. Had a few bad experiences and stopped going or ordering food to go. However it is my birthday today, and I was craving this place. My partner offered to pick it up, and came back out so happy. She said the person that helped was incredibly sweet and so quick to get our order together. So I want to thank Trey (sorry if I spell it wrong) for being awesome and giving us a great experience. Thank you!!
Peanut butter surprisingly good.
