Wish I knew about this place sooner. Told my mom I was taking her to lunch. Pulled up and she thought I was joking. No signs, just a worn out banner by the outside picnic tables. We went in and found a table. Ordered, at the counter. 2 Cheeseburgers and order of onion rings, 2 cokes. Made fresh to order, it took a bit as there were other folks in front of us. But well worth the wait. Portions are good size, prices are reasonable. Place was clean. And staff was friendly. Hope they don't change a thing. Well maybe a new sign out front! Definitely will be back.

Amazing food at the best cost! Great portions and the service was amazing!! There is the high school football field next door I would recommend avoid game nights unless it's your vibe. But the candy fries were amazing!

Not overly busy. Went in for a to go order and all of my food was burned that I saw. I was afraid to open my burger since I assumed it would also be burnt. Pics attached

Small town roadside diner on 66. Great food great service! We had cheeseburgers, mushrooms, and chili dogs.

My husband and I went there for the first time and I was disappointed in the pork tenderloin sandwich. they definitely need better quality buns because mine was thin and soggy. The pork tenderloin had no flavor at all. BUT, the second time I went, I got a hamburger with onions and pickles, and it was great and very filling. My husband got the smash burger he thought was amazing! We got a large onion ring to share, and it was packed full with plenty left over! We were very impressed with those. So based on the buns and pork tenderloin I gave it 4 stars.
