The food is always fresh and made to order. The staff always captures my phone-in order accurately. The food is always ready within the time they said it would be. Very reliable and efficient service.

If you are looking for a legit burger that actually tastes like beef, this is the place! Not greasy at all, great flavor, great quality. 3 domestically beer. My boyfriend and I are always in the look for mom and pop style restaurants but is hard to find good ones like this! Onion rings, fries and cheese fingers were great as well. We’ll be back for sure! Worth the drive

Good old hand pattied burgers, dogs, & crinkle fries. Sweet tea like your mama made it! Service was excellent as well.

1st timer. Friendly family owned business. A lot of history behind it. We really felt welcomed. Everything we ordered was so delicious. We loved the food. It was made with love. We definitely will be back to try some other menu items. You can see it from the highway and not hard to find.

The nicest folks! Love coming here, speedy service, hospitable people, they don’t make places like this anymore! Such a head gem! Love the way it’s simple and no frills, that’s why we love it! Love to come on and sit at the counter and enjoy a burger and a beer. Repeat customers for sure!

First time visiting found them on a lark for National Hamburger Day. The very definition of a local dive. Out of the way location and from the looks of it I was the only one who had not been there before when I arrived. Staff was friendly, burger and fries were solid and reasonably priced considering how pricey restaurants have gotten these days. I will definitely be back.

Great taste to the bbq, also really enjoyed the potato salad. The take out portions looked small at first but they're just packed in tight!
