Customer Reviews
This was a truly unique experience! A former service station converted to a grill/diner. They still sell gas here as well BTW. Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great. It's not a big place but it was filled with locals the day my son and I stopped by. Great burgers and grill food. If your looking for a craft brew they gave about 20 on tap.
Alpha Gal Safe Options Mind you the options are slightly limited...but to go somewhere that is familiar with AGS and accommodate to the best of their abilities is rare. I am unsure of many resturaunts in this area but was assured by their manager that their options stay with a cook from start to finish and all precautions are taken to avoid cross with mammalian products... she was honest and upfront that they try to keep fryers seperate but could not gurantee since i have anaphlactic reactions to mammal products. Regardless i excitedly told them I will be there in 15 minutes! The chicken sandwich and chicken salad was easily the best I've had in a long time. Thanks for the comfort food, you guys!! I will return.
They have good beer and good food! Wonderful stop while waiting for an appointment!
Cute spot for beer and snacks the bartender is an absolute sweetheart.
This is one of my favorite places to eat in Amherst! The food is always amazing and hot, and the drinks are great too. The onion rings and fries are both incredible, and the burgers are delcious and well made as well. This is way better than your average bar in my opinion.
