Excellent peppermint milk shake, worth a return visit just for that! BBQ sandwich yummy. Burgers on point. I appreciate that their small size is actually small- so many chains give such huge portion sizes it is ridiculous. Will return to try more on the menu

It's a cute little spot, the food was a little bland for my taste, but the milkshake was thick!

Very cute little drive in place. Prices are great, food just ok. Only 4 onion rings in a small order, hardly any lettuce or tomato on the hamburger. Quick service.

Yeah so it is AMAZING. The onion rings are plentiful, crisp and a bit sweet. The burgers are hardy. The fries are Somehow crisp and soft at the same time. Blue Mt Dew; DO NOT miss that. But let’s get real the winner hands down for days is the Shortcake. It’s a big cup of ice cream with a shortcake on the bottom with strawberry sauce and a wisp of whipped cream. It isnt just ice cream, it’s a symphony. I ordered a second to take home. Did I tell you the best part? It’s super affordable. That monster bag of onion rings is $2. The symphonic shortcake is $1. Seriously Downside: All in the car. I’d like to sit out at a table and order all day.
