★★★★★ 5.0 Teresa Burger · Feb 2026

Everything was good. Prices are very affordable. Delicious food 😋 we will be back . Cuban burger 😋 grilled chicken 😋.

★★★★★ 5.0 Emily Bayer · Jan 2026

A true gem! Everytime we go the food has been amazing. And the desserts just the same. Always get the cheeseburger but maybe one day I'll try something else (lol). During our most recent visit it was a bit hectic and crowded. In past visits we have been seated or told to pick a spot. This visit we weren't acknowledged. Upon asking the lady at the counter she rudely told us yea you seat yourself. Luckily the waitress and waitor we had changed the mood and experience.

First time here, we had a delicious lunch! The chicken taco soup was really good. Also tried the grilled ham and Nick which was good, although I love me a good old fashioned hot ham and cheese, the addition of grilled onions and flavored mayo wasn't my favorite. We will definitely goback and try other entrees.

I found this place on the map when I was searching for something locally owned to eat for lunch on our road trip. This was a perfect choice! Not to far off of the highway but just far enough you found what appeared to be a favorite among the locals. We enjoyed some really tasty burgers priced perfectly at just $3.50. I did opt to add garlic mayo but I wouldn’t next time because I didn’t taste it at all, but the burger really was delicious tho. We saved just enough room to enjoy a large 1 scoop waffle cone for $2.25 that hit the spot perfectly. I chose the butter pecan and it wasn’t that good but my husband got the strawberry cheesecake and it was delicious. The kids opted for cotton candy and they loved it. For the size it was a great way to finish our lunch. It was a cute little place wi

If you are in the area and want a good burger and I mean a good burger, then this is the place to come. I'm sure their other food options are just as good but since I'm mostly a hamburger person, that's all I order. They also have daily specials that offer more than just burgers.
