Banana float, sweet tea and fried pickles were excellent. Followed up with a grilled cheese hamburger and fried chicken sandwich (ginormous)and both were delicious. Nicole, great friendly service!!!

We had ordered the meatloaf with Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. Also, the turkey burger with pepper jack cheese. Turkey burger was cooked perfectly. Would go back! Our server was great too!

Try the Peanut Butter Burger. Don't be afraid. And if you're awesome, ask for jelly to spread on your bun.
