    Great place to go out with your family place has been established for a very long time. Food is always awesome here but if you're gonna eat here, you gotta come during the day hours or evening. Do not come there closing time because that's the time of your food is not very good, but overall definitely recommend.

    So I’m just gonna be honest the hot dogs are not that big of a deal! if you’ve ever been to racetrack, their hot dogs taste way better. The chili cheese had no flavor and the Chicago dog. I mean, you can’t go wrong with mustard and peppers. it just wasn’t the best. Now what I can say is, they can fry an onion ring. Those onion rings and the strawberry malt milkshake was amazing. It tasted so good. It was so creamy and those onion rings with that honey mustard ooohhh was great but the hotdog I feel like I could’ve boiled a better hotdog at home.

    I’ve came during dead hours where I was the only car in line and the employees placing the orders seem to be in a bothered mood from interrupting their conversation. This is the second time of that and just placing a fry and cake order. Disgusted over the fact my cake had hair that made me gag and the fries were overcooked salted. I can understand attitude or oversalted if it was rush hour, but I’m the only car in line? How is the food quality affected when there’s hardly customers.
