    TLDR: Food: 7/10 | Atmosphere: 6/10 | Service: 7/10 | Value: 5/10 I've been here many times over the years and decided to finally write a review. This is a classic style hamburger joint that was once a drive-in diner. They make a really good burger and that's honestly the big highlight for me. I've tried other things, but always come back to the burger because it's their best menu item for me. My biggest recommendations for this place are to bring back things that it has lost. They used to provide table service, but now you have to order at the counter. That said however, if they continue to do counter style ordering, I would highly recommend revamping the menu at the front. Everything is in different places and kinda all over the place between two seperate walls. Invest in a new menu to advertise your goodies or bring back table service! Although it is labor heavy, bringing back the drive-in service would be very cool. Maybe it's not feasible, but it would certainly make the place unique. Another thing is the value. I do think they're on the steep side and could lower their prices to be more reasonable, and in turn bring in more business. Lastly, I do appreciate the weekly car shows. It's a very cool way to drive in business and have comradery with the community!

    It was pretty good, I was looking for an old burger grill and this was it. A old style drive up burger joint, not so much drive up, but still looks it. When I went there was a car show going on, made it feel even more retro. Check it out it's pretty good.
