(Cash only) Wonderful experience here. The food was simple and the restaurant is very old school (the milkshake blending machine was older than me by a few decades) but cozy and nice. Very affordable prices as well, enough fries for 2 people costs $2.50. I recommend getting a malt and a burger and unwinding here for a lovely meal.

Old school in the best possible way. The polar opposite of a shiny new modern burger joint, this place has history. My burger was so good! I was instantly transported back to the cafes of my childhood. Bring cash, they do not accept card payments, and enjoy a blast from the past.

If you had a grandmother that made you lunch and she had a small run-down kitchen that you absolutely loved, then this is the place for you! After you walk through the door, go to the right to the diner area. It's a really small diner that kind of leans, but that's OK. The lady there is a one-woman show. She does it all, and it turns out to be really good tasting, and it's for a good price as well.

Been going here a good 25+ years. Just like I remember. Definitely a local gem & a great nostalgia trip every time.

Great little place across from Bench Mark Potato Shed. Good food fair prices too.
