I have been wanting to go in this place for two years, since I moved in this area. Today I took my daughter. I love it. Reminds me of all the mom and pop restaurants I went to as a kid. Only negative is the line up of people stand too close to your booth when you are eating. But if you sit on the other side it’s cool. Love the lights too

I've been eating at this place for 35 years. Food is always fantastic! The staff.. always friendly and helpful and if you grew up in the area you're almost guarenteed to see someone you know or grew up with. It's not just a restaurant. It's an experience not to be missed.

Another old favorite burger place that still had the same old decor with authentic Pac-Man video game table if we weren’t in a hurry I would have played a round or four Burgers were homemade and delicious! Realized we could have bacon and it was real bacon so we added it. A little fatty but real bacon Fries and onion rings were delicious. Not too greasy.

Excellent old school burger shop with great prices and delicious food. Got a homemade Banquet Burger and onion rings and by far one of the best burgers Ive ever had. The onion rings as well were amazing and also homemade. The staff working here are also amazing and super friendly. Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys great food and small family businesses!
