1st time here and it was Awful! Not only did I sit in my car for 45 minutes it cost me $20 for a little hot dog I could have made at home a little bowl of soggy cheese tater tots & not 1 but twice a milke shake that was nothing but melted milk! The 1st was was awful soI turned around went back & the remake was worse than the first one! So now over an hour & a half of my time is gone. Out $20 for food that I could have gotten better & cheaper from toot n totem! & they don’t even have frozen root beer like they said ! My 1st & last time!

BEST corn dog and homemade onion rings I’ve ever had. And the service has been excellent every time we have come. They’re all so nice and helpful. Food comes out super quick and is always hot and delicious, no matter what you order. Definitely worth check it out if you’re passing through or a local.

I think they were out of large buns because my regular burger had a kids bun on it. The tots and burger were delicious tho. I ordered a lemonade and received a root beer float. I will definitely go back tho.

Homemade root beer floats with Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream just can’t be beat. This was a quick after school trip for snacks. Everything is cooked to order and comes out piping hot. If you are a fan of fried mushrooms, this is the place to go.

Food is made to order and very good. The carhops are friendly too. I asked for a half cut iced tea and it was made pefectly. When stopping by don’t forget to order yourself a nice mug of homemade rootbeer.

Good old-fashioned hamburgers. Onion rings were great. My wife loved the root beer. Prices are a little high.

Featured sandwich is a fried baloney masterpiece! Headed back asp, so far I’ve been back twice for it you know the old saying “that’s not as good as moms” is correct. It’s so much better than my moms. Thank you great service.

Great food and really great root beer. Had a green chile cheeseburger and onion rings. Crispy onion rings either good batter and a nice flavorful burger. Carhop style in car dining.

I think I just got disappointed because I thought it would.be.more like and old time burger stand with the hearty big and greasy burgers that where mouth water flavor that just put life in your mouth. It was just a burger place like they all are now. The the root beer wasn’t as good as A&W so just worked myself up for nothing. The places just are not here any longer.
