Best tasting and best price in town. This place is a very old building that has pumped out millions of pounds of awesome food over many years.

Great little place. Very tight inside, I would recommend taking to go. Got a hotdog, lemonade, and clam strips. The was out of this world. Perfectly cooked and topped with fresh ingredients. The clam strips were fried and cooked well. I enjoyed them thoroughly for what seemed like frozen strips at most places.

Alot better than our first time there..fryer shrimp and fish was a little over cooked…being from so calif beach area I’m used to fresh caught and prepared seafood..I know where we are living now. Would have been very good with just a few changes

This is a very small establishment so I would assume a large portion of their business is carryout which is what we did on this visit. I called in our order the gentleman who answered and took my order was very friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 half chicken meals (which came with a choice of potato and salad) & onion rings. We were told our order would take 30-35 minutes and that is what it took. Our food was very good everything was hot and fresh even though we took it to go. The onionrings were not the frozen type you get at most places they were hand dipped and fried to a perfect doneness and so was the chicken.

I wouldn’t even feed this to my dog, the food here was absolutely atrocious. The burger tasted freezer burnt, the fries were soggy and the bacon on them tasted like they were cooked in 40 yr old grease. Threw $20 worth of food away. I could have gotten better food from a dumpster. I legit would not be surprised if I didn’t get food poisoning from this. Please do yourself a favor and don’t eat here.

I lived here for the last almost 10 years. And I always avoided this place because of the way it looks on the outside . So today we decided to come in.

Loved the BPT. Wish I got everyone’s name there, all the staff was awesome. We stayed way longer than it took to eat and jawed with the girls and Don. Very reasonable priced food, breading on the BPT was great. Believe me if you get the big BPT, you will not need any other food. It’s monstrous.
