★★★★☆ 4.0 Robert P · Oct 2025

Not the best appearance but don’t judge a book by its cover. Possibly the finest chicken tenders anywhere! The are JUMBO lightly breaded breast meat, paired with buffalo sauce are to die for

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Chantel · May 2025

As nice as the people are, the restaurant is definitely in distress. Floors need cleaned, tables need cleaned(they've been wiped down but can clearly see debris and greasy areas), air is thick, dishes are all greasy and insanitary. It's just dirty and needs a deep cleaning. Dishes need cleaned more efficiently as well. Paper towels out in bathroom. Has potential for its location, just needs help.

It has an unassuming location, an old gas station. The inside is still half a convenient store; beer and cigarettes and gum and such for sale. The food, however, is top notch. We stopped by on a road trip the sweet tea is on point and like ambrosia to a deprived northerner. The burgers are delicious diner-style complete with butter toasted buns and the Philly cheese was delicious also. Regional sides like fried pickles and corn nuggets were very satisfying. The chicken sandwich seemed like they took chicken breast, pounded it and breaded before frying. It was everything you could ask for flavor-wise in a funky and ultimately charming local package. Friendly guests offered conversation and anecdotes to road weary self and they seemed to enjoy their breakfast dishes they ordered. I would abs

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Corrie Edge · Dec 2025

I never leave reviews that are bad. But I have to leave a bad review for this restaurant. If I could leave no stars I would. This was hands down the worst burger my husband and I have ever tried to eat. We should have left when we pulled into the parking lot and no one was there. But I went against my better judgement and decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Never will I or my husband darken the doors of this establishment again.

Stopped here because of the reviews but wasn't good. I asked the lady what she recommended and she said the burgers were good that that is what she gets. I asked for the double cheese burger and got a single patty burger. So I said, ok then I'll just get charged 7.99 plus tax since they have a special with a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink for 7.99. She didn't respect the special because I got Cajun fries, which she didn't tell me were extra and ended up paying 12.99. The burger wasn't that great. The fries were good. I had to throw away their tea because it tasted bad and they ran out of diet Dr. Pepper, so I settled for Diet coke. I wouldn't recommend it.
