Looks to be a very old time capsule of a restaurant. Got a hot dog and it was good! They have a red hot dogs which imo are the best!

Hamburgers, hotdogs, fish sandwiches and french fries- I've been eating here for years and I'm not dead yet. Drive up , order, wait a few minutes and voila! Always friendly staff.

Stopped in here for some ice cream. Choices not the greatest and just sugar cones. They have an impressive menu of shake flavors. I also understand their burgers and dogs are highly rated - will have to return to try those. There was a constant flow of customers while I was there, so it seems they are popular.

the young guy working tonight and the lady were absolutely KILLING it together tonight. despite seeing about 5 people give them awful attitudes about waiting, they pumped it out and held a great attitude towards the people there. they really deserve recognition for their teamwork.

I rated the atmosphere as being good but there really is no atmosphere other than the street, in the parking lot, And cars that sitting there getting food. Neat little place been going there for years, anytime I'm passing through. I highly recommend it's an experience back in time LOL

The hot dogs were good. If you like onion rings, I wouldn't order them here. They're very similar to Burger King onion rings. Mostly taste like hush puppies with a little bit of onion.
